Ques:- If the operation,^ is defined by the equation x ^ y = 2x + y,what is the value of a in 2 ^ a = a ^ 3
Recent Answer : Added by Ananya Jignyasha On 2021-07-14 14:29:35:

2^a = 2 x 2+a
a^3= 2 x a + 3
=> 4+a= 2a + 3
=> a = 1

Ques:- A man while going dowm in a escalator(which is miving down) takes 50 steps to reach down and while going up takes 125 steps. If he goes 5 times faster upwards than downwards. What will be the total no of steps if the escalator werent moving.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:02:27:

let A goes up and B comes down.
assume A takes 1 step in 1sec.
hence,B takes 5 steps in 1sec.
50 steps ll be moved by A in 50/1=50secs
125 steps ll be moved by B in 125/5=25 secs
hence speed of escalator=(difference of no of
steps)/(difference of time)
speed=(125-50)/(50-25)= 3 steps/sec
hence during upward journey of 50secs by A,total steps=50 by
A and 150 by escalator..total=150+50=200
during downward journey of 25 secs by B,total steps=125 by B
and 75 by escalator..total=125+75=200steps.
ANS:200 steps

Ques:- Explain a database in three sentences to your eight-year-old nephew
Ques:- One side of a rectangular field is 4 m and its length along diagonal is 5 m. What is the area of the field?
Recent Answer : Added by Aditya D On 2022-09-21 16:49:44:

area is given by Area of Rectangle = Length of Rectangle*(sqrt((Diagonal of Rectangle^2)-(Length of Rectangle^2)))
so substituting we get area=4*(sqrt((25-16)))
area=4*(sqrt(9))
since area cannot be negative hence we take sqrt of 9 as 3 (as sqrt of 9 is 3 and -3 as well)
area=4*3=12m^2

Ques:- Tom has three boxes with fruits in his barn: one box with apples, one box with pears, and one box with both apples and pears.

Ques:- You have 8 balls. One of them is defective and weighs less than others. You have a balance to measure balls against each other. In 2 weighings how do you find the defective one?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:04:12:

CASE 1: First we should take six balls divided equally and
then it is placed on the two pans.three on one and three on
other..
if the two pans are balanced then the defective ball is not
in the six..then we should the two and keep them one ball
on each.
CASE2: Again We should take any of the six balls and
divided equally and then it is placed on the two pans.. if
any of the pan weighs less than the other.. We should take
the three balls seperately..Now from that three we should
take any two and placed one on each.. fi both the pan
balances the ball which is left over is the defective.. if
one ball weighes less than the other,while keeping one on
each,then it is the defective one….

Ques:- Find the cost of fencing around a circular field of diameter 28 m at the rate of Rs.1.50 a meter?
Recent Answer : Added by Prachi Bees On 2021-12-10 16:35:10:

In the example first we have to find the area of the field

we have given the following values ,

cost of fencing per meter = Rs 1.50

Diameter of circular field = 28

We have to find the area , a = ?

We know that,

Area = 2 π r

= 2 x 22/7 x 14

= 2 x 22 x 2

= 44 x 2

= 88 sq. m

So, area of circle is 88 sq.m

Now just multiply it with 1.50

cost of fencing = 88 x 1.50

= Rs. 132

So, the cost of fencing the circular field is Rs. 132

Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-17 06:18:51:

list price – actual price markrd by the company
net price (average price of all items inclusive all discounts,breakage & so on.) which is 425 i.e. 50% of the marked price
hence the list price or marked price is twice the net sale price = 850
50%=425
100%=?
=100%*425/50=850
