140x - 230y = -511 and -330x + 149y = -32

Answer»

140x - 230y = - 511   ....(i)

-330x + 149y = -32   ......(ii)

By applying 33 x (1) + 14 x (2) , we obtain

(4620x - 7590y) + (-4620x + 2086y) = -16863 - 448

⇒ - 5504 y = -17311

⇒ \(y = \frac{17311}{5504} \approx 3.145\)

From (i), we get 

140x = 230y - 511

= 230(3.145) -511

= 212.35

⇒ \(x \approx \frac{212.35}{140}\approx 1.517\) 

Hence, x \(\approx\) 1.517 & y \(\approx\) 3.145 is solution of given system.

2.

\( \frac{5}{x}-2 y=\frac{17}{3} \) \( \frac{2}{x}+3 y=\frac{-16}{3}, x \neq 0 \)

Answer»

\(\frac5x-2y=\frac{17}3\)---(1)

\(\frac2x+3y=\frac{-16}3\)---(2), \(\neq\) 0

By doing, 3 x (1) + 2 x (2), we obtain

\((\frac{15}x-6y) + (\frac yx+6y) = \frac{51}3-\frac{32}3\)

⇒ \(\frac{19}x=\frac{19}3\)

x = 3

∴ 5/3 - 2y = 17/3

⇒ 2y = 5/3 - 17/3 = -12/3 = -4

y = -2

Which is the hardest wood?1. Teak2. Tun3. Shisham4. Babul

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Shisham

Explanation:

Hardwood & Softwood trees

  • The terms hardwood and softwood can be very confusing, as not all commercially classified hardwoods are physically hard, or softwoods soft.
  • For example, the obeche tree is classed as a hardwood tree, yet it offers little resistance to a saw or chisel, etc.
  • The yew tree, on the other hand, is much harder to work yet it is classified as a softwood.
  • To add to this confusion we could be led to believe that hardwood trees are deciduous (shed their leaves at the end of their growing season) and softwood trees are evergreen (retain their leaves for more than one year), which is true of most species within these groups but not all!
  • From the above, Shesham is the hardest wood.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 221

Concept used:-

Trick to find square root of a number.

Method and Calculation:-

 • Find the unit digit of square root by looking at unit digit of given number.

For ✓48841, unit digit must be 9 or 1

 • Find other two digits by looking at number formed by first 3 digit.

484 < 488 < 529 (584 and 529 are squares of 22 and 23, so remaining part  of square root will be 22.

 • Find the square root from the narrowed down options.

✓48841 = 221 or 229. To find this, we multiply 22 × 23, which is equal to 506 and is more than 488. Hence the smaller of two will be the square root

Clearly, ✓48841 = 221
