Arrange the fractions 3/5, 4/7, 8/9, and 9/11 in their descending order. |
|
Answer» Clearly, 3/5 = 0.6, 4/7 = 0.571, 8/9 = 0.88, 9/111 = 0.818. Now, 0.88 > 0.818 > 0.6 > 0.571 8/9 > 9/11 > 3/4 > 13/ 16 |

| 21. |
Arrange the fractions 5/8, 7/12, 13/16, 16/29 and 3/4 in ascending order of magnitude. |
|
Answer» Converting each of the given fractions into decimal form, we get : 5/8 = 0.624, 7/12 = 0.8125, 16/29 = 0.5517, and 3/4 = 0.75 Now, 0.5517 < 0.5833 < 0.625 < 0.75 < 0.8125 16/29 < 7/12 < 5/8 < 3/4 < 13/16 |

Arrange the following fractions in ascending order:-A. 11/17 < 41/63 < 3/7 < 21/29B. 41/63 < 3/7 < 21/29 < 11/17C. 3/7 < 11/17 < 41/63 < 21/29D. 3/7 < 11/17 < 21/29 < 41/631. C2. A3. D4. B |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : C Given: 11/17, 41/63, 3/7, 21/29 Concept used: If we make the denominator of all fractions equals then the greater numerator will greater fraction and vice versa. Calculation: For the equal denominator, LCM of denominators = 31059 11/17 = (11 × 1827)/(17 × 1827) = 20097/31059 41/63 = (41 × 493)/63 × 493) = 20213/31059 3/7 = (3 × 4437)/(7 × 4437) = 13311/31059 21/29 = (21 × 1071)/(29 × 1071) = 22491/31059 clearly we can see that, 3/7 < 11/17 < 41/63 < 21/29 ∴ 3/7 < 11/17 < 41/63 < 21/29. |

If the vectors `xhati - 3hatj + 7 hatk` and `hati + y hatj- z hatk` are colliner then the value of `(xy^(2))/(z)` is equla .A. `(9)/(7)`B. `(-9)/(7)`C. `(-7)/(9)`D. `(7)/(9)` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B Given, vectors `x hat(i) - 3 hat(j) + 7 hat(k)` and `hat(i) + y hat(j) - z hat(k)` are collinear `:. (x)/(1) = (-3)/(y) = (7)/(-z) = k` `implies x = k, - 3 = ky` and 7 = - kz Now, `(xy^(2))/(z) = (k(-(3)/(k))^(2))/(((-7)/(k))) = ((9)/(k))/((-7)/(k)) = (-9)/(7)` |

If the surn of an infinite GP be 9 and sum of first two terms be 5 then their common ratio isA. ` (1)/(3)`B. `3`C. `(2)/(3)`D. `(3)/(2)` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C We have, sum of infinite `GP, (a)/(1 - r) = 9` `implies a = 9 (1 - r)` and sum of first two terms of a GP in 5 `implies a + ar = 5` `implies a (1 + r) = 5` `implies 9 (1 - r) (1 + r) = 5` `implies 1 - r^(2) = (5)/(9) implies r^(2) = (4)/(9) implies r = (2)/(3)` |

Why negative plates are one more than positive plates? |
|
Answer» Negative plates are one more than positive plates so as to get negative plates on both the sides of positive plates. This is to prevent the buckling action of the lead on positive plate in the multi plate lead acid cell. The other reason is that both the sides of positive plates will become active and the efficiency of the positive plate and the cell will increase. |
