A fraction is equivalent to \(\dfrac{5}{8}\). Its denominator and numerator add up to 91. What is the difference between the denominator and numerator of this fraction?1. 32. 133. 194. 21 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 21 Given: Fraction = \(\dfrac{5}{8}\) Denominator + Numerator = 91 Concept used: In a fraction, \(\dfrac{p}{q}\) p = Numerator q = Denominator Calculations: Let the numerator and denominator be 5x and 8x respectively ⇒ 5x + 8x = 91 ⇒ 13x = 91 ⇒ x = 7 Difference = 8x - 5x ⇒ 3 × 7 ⇒ 21 ∴ The difference between numerator and denominator of this fraction is 21 |

Find the cube root of 175616.1. 462. 483. 564. 665. None of these. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 56 Concept used:- Trick to find cube root of a number. Method and Calculation:- • Find the unit digit of cube root by looking at unit digit of given number. For cube root of 175616, unit digit must be 6 (63 is 216) • Find other digit(s) by ignoring the last three digits of number and looking at remaining digits. 125 < 175 < 216 (125 and 216 are cubes of 5 and 6, so remaining part of cube root will be 5) Hence, 56 is our answer. |
