Define the Integers. |
Answer» All natural numbers, 0 and negatives of counting numbers i.e., {…, - 3 , - 2 , - 1 , 0, 1, 2, 3,…..} together form the set of integers. (i) Positive Integers : {1, 2, 3, 4, …..} is the set of all positive integers. (ii) Negative Integers : {- 1, - 2, - 3,…..} is the set of all negative integers. (iii) Non-Positive and Non-Negative Integers : 0 is neither positive nor negative. So, {0, 1, 2, 3,….} represents the set of non-negative integers, while {0, - 1 , - 2 , - 3 , …..} represents the set of non-positive integers |

One day, a person went to a horse racing area. Instead of counting the number of humans and horses, he conuted 74 heads and 196 legs. How many humans and horses were there? |
Answer» Everyone knows that Human and Horses have one head and human have two legs and horses have four legs. Let number of human = x and number of horses = y Now given that Total number of heads = 74 and Total number of legs = 196 So, x + y = 74 ---------------------(1) and 2x + 4y = 196 ---------------------(2) Solving the equations we get x = 50 y = 24 Hence, the number of humans are 50 and the number of horses are 24 |
