Finding the Center of the Circle
To find the equation of the circle, we first need to find its center. We can do this by finding the intersection of the two diameters.

- Rewrite both equations in slope-intercept form:

2x - 3y = 5 --> y = (2/3)x - 5/3
3x - 4y = 7 --> y = (3/4)x - 7/4

- Find the midpoint of each diameter. This is the center of the circle.

Midpoint of first diameter:
( (0 + 5)/2 , (0 + 0)/2 ) = (5/2, 0)

Midpoint of second diameter:
( (0 + 7)/2 , (0 + 0)/2 ) = (7/2, 0)

- Equate the x-coordinates of the two midpoints and solve for y.

5/2 = 7/2 + m --> m = -1

- The center of the circle is at (5/2, -1).

Finding the Equation of the Circle
Now that we have the center of the circle, we can use the radius of 8 to write the equation in standard form.

- The standard form of the equation of a circle is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h,k) is the center of the circle and r is the radius.

- Substituting (5/2, -1) for (h,k) and 8 for r, we get:

(x - 5/2)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 64

- Expanding and simplifying, we get:

x^2 - 5x + 25/4 + y^2 + 2y + 1 = 64
x^2 + y^2 - 5x + 2y - 62 = 0

- Therefore, the equation of the circle is x^2 + y^2 - 5x + 2y - 62 = 0, which is option A.

A and B are two independent events. P( A and B) = 1/6 and the probability that neither of them occur is 1/3 . Find the probability occurrence of A?
  • a)
    1 4
  • b)
    1 3
  • c)
    1 5
  • d)
    1 8
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Let P(A) = X and P(B) = Y;
So, P(A’) = 1 - X and P(B’) = 1 - Y
P(A and B) = P(A) x P(B) = XY = 1/6
Probability that neither of them occurs = P(A’) x P(B’) = (1 - X) x (1 - Y) = 1/3
Solving the resulting quadratic equation, we get X = 1/3 or 1/2 that is the probability of occurrence of A

Number of divisors of n = 38808 (except 1 and n) is
  • a)
    70
  • b)
    68
  • c)
    72
  • d)
    74
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Factorizing the given number, we have
38808 = 23 . 32 . 72 . 11
Therefore the total number of divisors
= (3 + 1) (2 + 1) (1 + 1) - 1 = 71
But this includes the division by the number itself
Hence, the required number of divisors
= 71 - 1 = 70
