Re: mathematic related questions

Answer - 100
Solution -
diametre * length = 1(consider the string as a 2-D rectangle]
1/100 * length = 1
length = 100 m

BTW are they PSA questions?

Its better than mine
Its nice to know that they are people like me :D

Your method is absolutely right
But as diameter is 1mm
so it will be
1/1000 * length = 1
length = 1000 m

BTW are they PSA questions?

these are questions of various competitive examinations based on 10 th level

Re: mathematic related questions

Can you post the answer so i can guess what he means by 'between'(whether it is counting those days or not)
Is the ans (D)?

Re: mathematic related questions

Solution -
Note: The answer should be a multiple of 7 so that that next day will be Friday
No. of days possible between two 13ths of months in a leap year - 29,30,31
Now its basically hit and trial

Case 1 - in one month
29,30,31 all are not divisible by 7

Case 2 - in two months
29+31= 60 not divisible by 7
30+31= 61 not divisible by 7
31+31= 62 not divisible by 7

Case 3- in three months
30+31+30= 91
31+30+31= 92 not divisible by 7
31+29+31= 91
29+31+30= 90 not divisible by 7

So ans - 91

Re: mathematic related questions

your answer is better than hit and trial method

But in your answer
I didn't understand last three lines or steps

for example
If A ≥ R
B ≥ R

can we say A ≥ B ??

Re: mathematic related questions

Its just organized hit and trial

But in your answer
I didn't understand last three lines or steps

for example
If A ≥ R
B ≥ R

can we say A ≥ B ??
I think it is valid if A is variable and B is a constant( max value of R is B and since A ≥ R=> A ≥ B )
I am not sure though
Alternate method -
A.M = GM when all the no.s are equal(let it be 'a')
now 7a=21 => a=3
So ans = 7*9/7 = 9

Re: mathematic related questions

^Umm, none of the above? Answer is (sqrt(2))*a [Pythagoras Theorem], which I don't see in the options.... (I think it's a typo with the radical sign)

Yeah
Its √2 * a

But can you explain your answer ??

Re: mathematic related questions

Answer - (B)(√2a)
Solution - Distance b/w vertex and centre will be equal to 'a'(connect the centre to two consecutive vertex, it will be isosceles triangle with one angle 60 degree, so it will be equilateral)
Now apply Pythagoras theorem

@rst
Did you really understood the proof that vignesh quoted?

Great explanation

@rst
Did you really understood the proof that vignesh quoted?
his proof is same as I explained with example
I didn't understand much about both a & b are even
" if you look at a/2, b/2 then one easily sees that both
(a/2)^2 + 6(b/2)^2
(b/2)^2 + 6(a/2)^2
are squares (since the squares a^2 + 6b^2 and b^2 + 6a^2 are both even, hence divisible by 4)
This contradicts the minimality of our original solution.
"

I don't where is "vignesh" ??
He should explain this fact

Re: mathematic related questions

^ i have confusion in the same lines, (a/2)^2 + 6(b/2)^2 is not always a perfect square

yeah
(a/2)^2 + 6(b/2)^2 is not always a perfect square
take example
a=2
b=2

then (a/2)^2 + 6(b/2)^2= 1+6=7
which is not perfect square

I hope both a & b are even case is now clear to you

Re: mathematic related questions

no its not clear and I will not be satisfied with hit and trial :)
answer to the above question should be infinity but I think in the key it would be given N+1

Re: mathematic related questions

I read the question wrong the first time
, n+1 is the right answer

max no of turns till one of each colour is taken out is N, in the next turn a pair will be found so ans is N+1
