If the annual decrease in the population of a city is 8% and the present number of people is 80 lakhs, what will be the population after 3 years? |
|
Answer» Here we can use the compound interest based formula, Population after n years = P*[1 - (r/100)]n Population after 3 years = 8000,000*[1-(8/100)]3 Calculating we get, Population after 3 years = 6229504 |

A rectangular box has height ℎ cm . Its length is 7 times the height and breadth is 2 cm less than the length. What is the volume of the box? |
|
Answer» Using the formula, ⇒ Volume = Height × Length × Breadth Substitute the values, ⇒ Volume = (h) × (7h) × (7h - 2) Remove the brackets, ⇒ Volume = h × 7h × 7h - 2 Take variable and numbers seperately, ⇒ Volume = (h × 7h × 7h) - 2 Multiply and solve, ⇒ Volume = 49h - 2 cm³ ∴ Thus, the volume of the rectangular box 49h - 2 cm3. |

Find a point on \( x \)-axis which is at \( 5 \sqrt{3} \) distance from the point \( (-2,3) \) |
|
Answer» Let required point on x- axis is (x, 0). \(\therefore\) Distance between points (x, 0) and (-2, 3) is 5√3. \(\therefore\) \(\sqrt{(-2-x)^2+(3-0)^2}\) = 5√3 ⇒ (2 + x)2 + 9 = 25 x 3 (By squaring both sides) ⇒ (x + 2)2 = 75 - 9 = 66 ⇒ (x + 2) = \(\pm\sqrt{66}\) ⇒ x = -2 \(\pm\sqrt{66}\) Hence required point is (-2\(+\sqrt{66}\), 0) or (-2,\(-\sqrt{66}\), 0) |

Find the symetrical form, the equation of the line \( x+y+z+1=0,4 x+y-2 z=0 \) and. find the direction of cosines. |
|
Answer» Let direction cosines of line are l, m and n. \(\therefore\) l + m + n = 0 4l + m - 2n = 0 (\(\because\) Line is present in both planes, therefore line is perpendicular to normals of both planes) ⇒ \(\frac{l}{-2-1}=\frac{m}{4+2}=\frac{n}{1-4}\) = k (let) ⇒ l = -3k, m = 6k, n = -3k But l, m, n are direction cosines. l = \(\frac{-3k}{\sqrt{(-3k)^2+(6k)^2+(-3k)^2}}\) \(=\frac{-3k}{\sqrt{9k^2+36k^2+9k^2}}\) \(=\frac{-3k}{\sqrt{54k^2}}=\frac{-3}{3\sqrt6}=\frac{-1}{\sqrt 6}\) m = \(\frac{6k}{\sqrt{(-3k)^2+(6k)^2+(-3k)^2}}\) = \(\frac{6k}{3\sqrt6}\) = \(\frac{2}{\sqrt6}\) n = \(\frac{-3k}{\sqrt{(-3k)^2+(6k)^2+(-3k)^2}}\) = \(\frac{-3k}{3\sqrt6}=\frac{-1}{\sqrt6}\) \(\therefore\) Direction cosines of line are \((\mp\frac1{\sqrt6},\pm\frac{2}{\sqrt6},\mp\frac1{\sqrt6}).\) |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Locke Mathematics not only is "number work‟ or "computation‟, but also is more about forming generalizations, seeing relationships and developing logical thinking and reasoning. Mathematics should be visualized as the vehicle to train a child to think, reason, analyze and to articulate logically. Mathematics should be shown as a way of thinking, an art forms a beauty and as human achievement. Note that:
Hence, we conclude that the above statement is of Locke. |

If a cosθ + b sinθ = m and a sinθ – b cosθ = n, prove that : (m2 + n2 ) = (a2 + b2). |
|
Answer» Given that a cosθ + bsinθ = m. … (1) And a sinθ – b cosθ = n. … (2) Now, squaring equation (2) and (3), we get m2 = (a cosθ + sinθ)2 = a2 co2θ + b2 sin2θ + 2absinθcosθ. … (3) And n2 = (a sinθ − b cosθ)2 = a2 sin2 + b2 cos2 – 2absinθcosθ. … (4) Now, adding equations (3) & (4), we get m2 + n2 = a2 (cos2θ + sin2θ) + b2 (sin2θ + cos2θ) + 2ab sinθcosθ – 2ab sinθcosθ ⇒ m2+ n2 = a2 + b2 . (∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1) Hence Proved. |

A man’s age is three times the sum of the ages of his two sons. After 5 years, his age will be twice the sum of the ages of his two sons. Find the age of the man. |
|
Answer» Let one son is x years old and other son is y years old, Given that man’s age is 3 times the sum of ages of his two sons. Therefore, the man’s age = 3(x + y). ... (1) After 5 years the man’s age is 3(x + y) + 5. But given that after 5 years, the man’s age will be twice of the ages of his two sons. After 5 years the age of first son is x + 5 and the age of second son is y + 5. Therefore, 3(x + y) + 5 = 2((x+5) + (y+5)) ⇒ 3(x + y) + 5 = 2(x + y + 10) = 2(x + y) +20 ⇒ x + y = 20 – 5 = 15. ⇒ x + y = 15. Therefore, the man’s age = 3 (x + y) = 3 × 15 = 45 years. [From equation (1)] |

In a Triangle ABC, if Cot A : Cot B : Cot C = 1:4:15 Then The Greatest Angle is? |
|
Answer» cot A : cot B : cot C = 1 : 4 : 15 Let cot A = x, cot B = 4x and cot C = 15x ⇒ A = cot-1x, B = cot-14x + cot-115x = 180° (\(\because\) cot-1 x + cot-1 y = cot-1(\(\frac{xy-1}{x+y}\))) ⇒ cot-1\(\left(\cfrac{\frac{4x^2-1}{5x}\times15-1}{\frac{4x^2-1}{5x}+15x}\right)\)= 180° ⇒ cot-1\(\left(\cfrac{\frac{15x(4x^2-1)-5x}{5x}}{\frac{4x^2-1+75x^2}{5x}}\right)\)= 180° ⇒ \(\frac{15x(4x^2-1)-5x}{79x^2-1}\) = cot 180° = \(\frac{cos180^{\circ}}{sin180^{\circ}}\) = \(\frac{-1}0\) \(\therefore\) 79x2 - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{79}}\) Now, A = cot-1x = cot-1\((\frac1{\sqrt{79}})\) B = cot-14x = cot-1\((\frac{4}{\sqrt{79}})\) C = cot-115x = cot-1\((\frac{15}{\sqrt{79}})\) A > B > C (\(\because\) cot-1 x is a decreasing function and x < 4x < 15x) Greatest angle is A. |
