Evaluate:(92)2 – (91)2 |
|
Answer» Given (92)2 –(91)2 According to the property 8 i.e. for every natural number n, we have [(n+1)2-n2] = [(n+1) + n] Here n = 91 By applying the above property we get, (92)2 – (91)2 = (91+1) + 91 = 92 + 91 = 183 |
|

Evaluate:(105)2 – (104)2 |
|
Answer» Given (105)2 – (104)2 According to the property 8 i.e. for every natural number n, we have [(n+1)2-n2] = [(n+1) + n] Here n = 104 By applying the above property we get, (105)2 – (104)2 = (104+1) + 104 = 105 + 104 = 209 |
|
| 6. |
Evaluate:(141)2 – (140)2 |
|
Answer» Given (141)2 – (140)2 According to the property 8 i.e. for every natural number n, we have [(n+1)2-n2] = [(n+1) + n] Here n = 140 By applying the above property we get, (141)2 – (140)2 = (140+1) + 140 = 141 + 140 = 281 |
|
| 7. |
Using the formula (a + b)2 = (a2 + 2ab + b2), evaluate (310)2. |
|
Answer» Given (310)2 We have (a + b)2 = (a2 + 2ab + b2)(310)2 can be written as 300 + 10 So here a=300 and b=10 Using the formula, (300 + 10)2 = (3002 + 2 X 300 X 10 + 102) On simplifying we get (300 + 10)2 = (90000 + 6000 +100) (310)2 = 96100 |

विभवमापी की सुग्राहिता से क्या तात्पर्य है? इसे कैसे बढ़ाया जा सकता है? |
|
Answer» विभवमापी की सुग्राहिता का अर्थ है कि जौकी को शून्य विक्षेप स्थिति से थोड़ा-सा खिसकाने पर धारामापी में बहुत अधिक विक्षेप उत्पन्न हो जाये। विभवमापी की सुग्राहिता विभव-प्रवणता के व्युत्क्रमानुपाती होती है। परन्तु विभव-प्रवणता K = (जहाँ V = विभवमापी के तार के सिरों का विभवान्तर), अत: K ∝ 1/L अर्थात् विभवमापी के तार की लम्बाई L बढ़ाने से K का मान कम हो जाएगा; अर्थात् सुग्राहिता बढ़ जाएगी। इस प्रकार विभवमापी की सुग्राहिता में वृद्धि तार की लम्बाई में वृद्धि करके की जा सकती है। |

If 5 men take 8 days to type 10 books, then how many days does it take for 8 men to type 2 books? |
|||||||||
Answer»
Here the 3 quantities are men, books typed and number of days. Let the number days taken to type 2 books by 8 men be x. From the above,
Here number of days depends on both men and number of books typed. So, we have to take compound ratio of 8 : 5 and 10:2. 8 : x = 8 × 10 : 5 × 2 Since the ratios are equal, The product of means = The product of extremes ⇒ 8 : x = 80 : 10 ⇒ x × 80 = 8 × 10 ⇒ 80x/80 = 80/80 ⇒ x= 1 day Or x = 5/8 x 2/10 x 8 = 1 ∴ Number of days taken to type 2 books by 8 men is 1. |
