PLEASE GIVE EXPLANATIONS ALSO

Q1)if a+b+c =20 and 1/a+1/b+1/c=30, then the value a/b+b/c+a/c+c/a+b/c+c/b is
a.597       b.8       c.350       d.441

 

Q2)a,b,c,d are real no.s and a2 + b2+ c2+ d2=100 then ahat is the max value of 2a + 3b + 6c + 24d
a.240       b.250     c.300       d.360

Q3) x13+x+90 is divided by x2 - x + n,remainder obtained is zero . how many integral values of n is /are possible
a.0        b.1        c.2        d.infinite

Q4)How many diff length diagonals are possibleof convex regular decagon
a.35      b. 2.7      c.27       d.5      e.4

Q5)x+y+z=6,   x2 + y2 + z2=8,   x3 + y3 + z3 = 5 what is the value of x4+y4+z4 equal to
a.0       b.1       c. 9          d.cannot be determined

 

Q6) if x , y , n are all positive integers.for how many possible values of a,b and  is xn-yn = 2100?
a.50      b.100      c.1         d.none of these

       Q1

          the question should be like this

           a/b+b/c+a/c+c/a+b/a+c/b.

    the solution is as follows :

     (a+b+c)(1/a+1/b+1/c) = 20 X 30

           a/b+b/c+a/c+c/a+b/a+c/b = 597.

       Q2.

          Since the coefficient of  'd' is 24.

       the max value which 'd' can have is 10 ( according to the given equ)

     so the max value  is 240.

       But i'm not sure.  Check with others.

shabash_23  is correct.as

shabash_23  is correct.

as a, b, c , d are not given as not same or not equal to zero the max value is for all zero and d =10

and thats 240

Another question : What is the minimum value of  2a + 3b + 6c + 24d ?

My ans:

I think here a = b= c = d =5

and the value = 35 x 5 = 175

  @ searchin-life

         

                 The minimum value of 2a + 3b + 6c + 24d  should be when 'a' is equal to 10.

            i.e the minimum value is '20'.

            thank u

          shahid.

answer to Q4

Q4)How many diff length diagonals are possibleof convex regular decagon
a.35      b. 2.7      c.27       d.5      e.4

ANS:

10C2 (Total possible lines) - 10 (sides) = Number of diagonals = 35

@searchin-life

 

               The question asked is number of different lengths of diagonals in a convex regular decagon.

               The answer '35' u gave is number of diagonals. All diagonals are not of equal lengths.

              Anyways thanks for trying.

              shahid.

Here Q asks for "diff

Here Q asks for "diff length diagonals " not total # of diagonals. Also, note that - it is convex regular decagon

So, my take is - from each point you can draw - 8 diagonal - within there are 4 pairs each having same lengths.

So, answer is - e.4

@angs

      

              thanks for ur reply. But in a converx regular decagon one can draw only '7' diagonals (not 8) from one

              corner.

u r correct shahid - sorry 4

u r correct shahid - sorry 4 the mistake - but anyway, answer remains same - out of 7 - except middle one - others forms 3 pairs each having 2 same length diagonals. Hence - e.4

sorry..

first of all thx guys for solvin the ques..but i want to admit a mistake here in the diagonal question i typed second option as 2.7 but it was 7 and the right answer is 7...sorry for inconvenience.pllease help solving the other one too.
