39.

If nP4 : nP2 = 12, find n.

Answer»

Given, 

\(\frac{^nP_4}{^nP_2}=12\)

\(\Rightarrow ^nP_4=12 ^nP_2\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{n!}{n-4!}=12\frac{n!}{n-2!}\)

\(\frac{n-2!}{n-4!}=12\)

\(\frac{(n-2)(n-3)(n-4)!}{n-4!}=12\)

⇒ n2 − 5n + 6 = 12 

⇒ n2 − 5n + 6 = 12 

⇒ n2 − 5n − 6 = 0 

⇒ n2 − 6n + n − 6 = 0 

⇒ n(n − 6) + 1(n − 6) = 0

If 5Pr = 60 find the value of r.

Answer»

Given 5Pr = 60 

5Pr = 5 × 4 × 3 = 60 

∴ r = 3

5Pr = 60
=>×5!/(5-r)!=60
=>×5×4×3×2/(5-r)!=60

=>(5-r)!=2×1=2!

=>5-r=2

=>r=5-2=3

If sin (A – B) = 1/2 and cos (A + B) = 1/2 , 0 ≤ (A + B) ≤ 90 and A > B, then find A and B.

Answer»

Here, sin (A – B) = 1/2 

⇒ sin (A – B) = 30 [∵ sin 30 = 1/2 ] 

⇒ (A – B) = 30 …….(i) 

Also, cos (A + B) = 1/2 

⇒ cos (A + B) = cos 60 [∵ cos 60 = 1/2 ] 

⇒ A + B = 60  ….(ii) 

Solving (i) and (ii), we get:

A = 45 and B = 15 

43.

If sin (A + B) = 1 and cos (A – B) = 1, 0 ≤ (A + B) ≤ 90 and A > B, then find A and B

Answer»

Here, sin (A + B) = 1 

⇒ sin (A + B) = 90 [∵ sin 90 = 1] 

⇒ (A + B) = 90 …….(i) 

Also, cos (A – B) = 1 

⇒ cos (A – B) = 0 [∵ cos 0 = 1] 

⇒ A – B = 0 ….(ii) 

Solving (i) and (ii), we get:

 A = 45 and B = 45

Answer»

(i) (5, 2, 3)

In this case, since x, y and z all three are positive then octant will be XOYZ

(ii) (-5, 4, 3)

In this case, since x is negative and y and z are positive then the octant will be X′OYZ

(iii) (4, -3, 5)

In this case, since y is negative and x and z are positive then the octant will be XOY′Z

(iv) (7, 4, -3)

In this case, since z is negative and x and y are positive then the octant will be XOYZ′

(v) (-5, -4, 7)

In this case, since x and y are negative and z is positive then the octant will be X′OY′Z

(vi) (-5, -3, -2)

In this case, since x, y and z all three are negative then octant will be X′OY′Z′

(vii) (2, -5, -7)

In this case, since z and y are negative and x is positive then the octant will be XOY′Z′

(viii) (-7, 2, -5)

In this case, since x and z are negative and x is positive then the octant will be X′OYZ′
