correct spelling- SATELLITE

Q ∠AEB=90° (Angle made in half circle)
∠EBC = ∠EOC/2 = 40/2 = 20°
(Angle made by same chord on center is double the angle made on circumference)
Now, in ΔBOE, ∠BED+ ∠EBD+ ∠EDB= 180°
⇒ 90° +20° +∠EDC = 180°
⇒∠EDC = 180° - 110° = 70°

Let size of the alloy broken off is x Kg.
According to question,
x / 30-x = 60-x /x
⇒ x² = 1800 - 30x - 60x + x²
⇒ 90x = 1800 ⇒ x = 1800/90 = 20 Kg

⇒12x + 3 = 10(x + 1) x 10
⇒ 2x = 7 ⇒x = 7/2

Let total distance is 100 Km.
Time taken in 50% journey at 25 Km/hr = 50/25 = 2 hrs.
Time taken in 40% journey at 20 Km/hr = 40/20 = 2 hrs.
Time taken in remaining journey at 10 Km/hr = 10/10 = 1 hr.
Hence, average speed = 100/5 = 20 Km/hr

2…. …. …. = 7 × 6 × 5 = 210
4…. …. …. = 7 × 6 × 5 = 210
5…. …. …. = 7 × 6 × 5 = 210
6…. …. …. = 7 × 6 × 5 = 210
Hence, total numbers = 210 + 210 + 210 + 210 = 840.

Capacity of tank = LCM of (12, 18) = 36 units Efficiency of Ist leak = 36/12 = 3 Efficiency of Ilnd leak = 36/18 = 2 Hence, they together will empty the tank in = 36/5 = 7.2 minutes

General equation = ax² - bx + c = 0

Probability of A speaks truth = 70% = 0.7
Probability of A does not speak truth = 30% = 0.3
Probability of B speaks truth = 80% = 0.8
Probability of B does not speak truth = 20% = 0.2
Hence, probability that they both will contradict each other = 0.7 x 0.2 + 0.8 x 0.3
= 0.14 + 0.24
= 0.38

(6x - 3)9 = (6x - 3)³ x (6x - 3)³ x (6x - 3)³
So, a₀ = (-3)³ x (-3)³ x (-3)³
= -27 x -27 x -27 = -19683.

Let cost price of 100X.
According to question,

A*B = 551 = 576 – 25 = (24)² - (5)²
⇒ A*B = (24 + 5) × (24 - 5) = 19 x 29
And, B*C = 1073 = 1089 – 16 = (33)² - (4)²
⇒ B*C = (33 + 4) × (33 - 4) = 29 × 37
:. A = 19, B = 29 and C = 37.
Hence, A + B + C = 19 + 29 + 37 = 85.

Total work = 5 * x = 5x
According to question,
x + (x - 3) + (x - 3 + 2) + (x - 4) + (x - 2) + (x - 5) + (x - 3) = 5x
⇒ 7x – 18 = 5x
⇒ 2x = 18
⇒ x = 9 people.
