Pooja Shah answered |
If we throw a die once, then possible outcomes (s), are
S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
⇒ n(E) = 6
(i) Let E be the favourable outcomes of getting an even number, then
E = { 2, 4, 6 }
⇒ n(S) = 3
S = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 }
⇒ n(E) = 6
(i) Let E be the favourable outcomes of getting an even number, then
E = { 2, 4, 6 }
⇒ n(S) = 3

Nilanjan Shah answered |
Solution:
To solve this equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
Given equation is 9x2 = 36
Step 1: Divide both sides by 9
9x2/9 = 36/9
Step 2: Simplify
x2 = 4
Step 3: Take square root on both sides
√(x2) = √4
Step 4: Simplify
x = ±2
Therefore, the solution of the given equation 9x2 = 36 is x = ±2.
Explanation:
The given equation is a quadratic equation in which we need to find the value of x. To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x by following the steps mentioned above. We divided both sides by 9 to simplify the equation. After simplification, we got x2 = 4 which means x can be either positive or negative 2. We took the square root of both sides and simplified the equation to get the final solution x = ±2.

In triangle ACB and ADC
∠A=∠A
∠ACB = ∠CDA
Therefore triangle ACB and ADC are similar,
Hence
AC/AD = AB/AC
AC2 = AD X AB
82 = 3 x AB
⇒ AB = 64/3
This implies,
BD = 64/3 – AD
⇒ BD = 55/3
∠A=∠A
∠ACB = ∠CDA
Therefore triangle ACB and ADC are similar,
Hence
AC/AD = AB/AC
AC2 = AD X AB
82 = 3 x AB
⇒ AB = 64/3
This implies,
BD = 64/3 – AD
⇒ BD = 55/3

Nisha Choudhury answered |
The even numbers out of these are= 2, 4, 6, 8
No. of even numbers = 4
Total numbers = 9
So probability of choosing an odd number will be
= No. of odd numbers/Total numbers
= 5 / 9
Similarly probability of choosing an even number will be
= No. of even numbers/Total numbers
= 4 / 9

Here largest side is 12 cm.
If the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the other two sides, then it is a right-angled triangle.
If the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the square of the other two sides, then it is a right-angled triangle.
∴ c2 = a2 + b2
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
(12)2 = (63)2 + (6)2
44 = 36 × 3 + 36
144 = 108 + 36
144 = 144
∴ ∆ABC is a right angled triangle and angle opposite to hypotenuse, ∠B = 90°.

Probability of getting a non-ace card = No. of favourable outcomes / total no. of outcomes

Ananya Das answered |
The probability of an event is a number describing the chance that the event will happen. An event that is certain to happen has a probability of 1. An event that cannot possibly happen has a probability of zero. If there is a chance that an event will happen, then its probability is between zero and 1.
Examples of Events:
- tossing a coin and it landing on heads
- tossing a coin and it landing on tails
- rolling a '3' on a die
- rolling a number > 4 on a die
- it rains two days in a row
- drawing a card from the suit of clubs
- guessing a certain number between 000 and 999 (lottery)

Radha Iyer answered |
Similar triangles have corresponding angles equal. So Angle Q=Angle B = 50° and Angle R = Angle C = 70° . So by angle sum property, Angle P+Angle Q +Angle R = 180°
Angle P=180° - 50° - 70° = 60°
Angle P=180° - 50° - 70° = 60°

Krishna Iyer answered |
We know that the sum of angle made by two tangents joined by an exterior point and the angle made at the centre of the circle is equal to 180 degrees
So, Angle POQ + Angle PTQ = 180
110 + Angle PTQ = 180
Angle PTQ = 180- 110 = 70 degrees
So, Angle POQ + Angle PTQ = 180
110 + Angle PTQ = 180
Angle PTQ = 180- 110 = 70 degrees

Krishna Iyer answered |
The answer can be 2 collinear points as well. We have three collinear points. Join one point to the other two points and then draw the perpendicular bisector for both the lines
Join the perpendicular bisectors. The point is the centre of the circle. And a circle can be formed then. Also two points can form a circle as the two points joines becomes a diameter.

Option D : The number of circles which can pass through three given non-collinear points is exactly one.
So, A is the correct Option

Rahul Kumar answered |
Option (B) and (D) , both are the correct answers. We have x(x + 1) + 8 = (x + 2) (x – 2)
=x2 + x + 8 = x2 - 4
= x = -12, which is not a quadratic equation
Also, in (B) (x + 2)2 = x3 – 4
=x2 +4x + 4=x3 - 4, which is a cubic equation
=x2 + x + 8 = x2 - 4
= x = -12, which is not a quadratic equation
Also, in (B) (x + 2)2 = x3 – 4
=x2 +4x + 4=x3 - 4, which is a cubic equation

Let the present age of man is x and of son is y.
Six years hence,
Man’s age =x+6
Son’s age=y+6
Man’s age is 3 times son’s age
x+6=3(y+6)
x+6=3y+18
x=3y+12 …...1
Three years ago,
Man’s age =x-3
Son’s age=y-3
Man’s age was 9 times as of son
x-3=9(y-3)
x-3=9y-27
x=9y-24 ….2
From 1 and 2
3y+12=9y-24
6y=36
y=6
x=3*6+12=18+12=30 years
Six years hence,
Man’s age =x+6
Son’s age=y+6
Man’s age is 3 times son’s age
x+6=3(y+6)
x+6=3y+18
x=3y+12 …...1
Three years ago,
Man’s age =x-3
Son’s age=y-3
Man’s age was 9 times as of son
x-3=9(y-3)
x-3=9y-27
x=9y-24 ….2
From 1 and 2
3y+12=9y-24
6y=36
y=6
x=3*6+12=18+12=30 years

Krishna Iyer answered |
we know sin(90 - a) = cos(a)
cos(90 - a) = sin(a)
sin(a) = 1/cosec(a)
sec(a) = 1/cos(a)
cos40 = cos(90-50) = sin50
cosec40 = cosec(90-50) = sec50
so our expression becomes
sin50/sin50 + sec50/sec50 - 4cos50 / sin40
= 1 + 1 - 4(1) since cos50 = sin40
= -2

There are 366 days in a leap year, i.e, 1 more than a normal year.
Now, 52 weeks make up 344 days (52 x 7 = 344)
That means that we already have 52 sundays for sure.
That means that we already have 52 sundays for sure.
Then, we are left with 2 days. Now, these days can be any from a pair of- mon-tues,tues-wed,wed-thurs,thurs-fri,fri-sat,sat-sun,sun-mon. Here favourable cases are sat-sun and sun-mon i.e, 2 cases and total number of cases is 7.
So, Probability=number of favourable cases/Total number of cases.
Therefore, Probability= 2/7.

Anjana Khatri answered |
Consider the height of tower be h
∴ height of shadow =√3h .
In a triangle ABC,
tan ∠ACB = h / √3h
tan ∠ACB = 1 / √3
∠ACB = 30degree.
Therefore, angle of elevation is 30degree .
If the probability of winning a game is 0.3, then the probability of losing it is:- a)0.3
- b)0.7
- c)0.2
- d)0.5
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Amit Sharma answered |
Let the probability of losing the game be x
We know that sum of the the sum of probabilities is equal to 1
So
0.3+x=1
x=0.7
We know that sum of the the sum of probabilities is equal to 1
So
0.3+x=1
x=0.7
Can you explain the answer of this question below: If 4 is a root of the equation 
, then k is
- A:
-28
- B:
-12
- C:
12
- D:
28
The answer is a.
If 4 is a root of the equation , then k is
-28
-12
12
28

Vp Classes answered |
4 is the solution , this means that if we put x=4 we get 0. So putting x=4 in the equation x2+3x+k=0 we get 42+3*4+k=0
16+12+k=0 ⇒ k=-28
16+12+k=0 ⇒ k=-28

6x²-31x+40=0,
a=6,
b=-31,
c=40,
by quadratic formula-->
x=-b±√b²-4ac/2a,
by putting the values of a,b and c, we get,
x=-(-31)±√(-31)²-4(6)(40)/2(6),
=31±√961-960/12,
=31±√1/12,
=31±1/12,
x=30/12or ,32/12,
x=5/2 or, 8/3,
hence , option B is correct

We have the numbers from 1 to 12. Total possible outcomes = 12 Now, divisors of 12 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12 Number of divisors of 12 = 6 Number of favourable outcomes = 6
