Question: Let N be the greatest number that will divide 1305, 4665 and 6905, leaving the same remainder in each case. Then sum of the digits in N is Solution: N = H.C.F. of (4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305) = H.C.F. of 3360, 2240 and 5600 = 1120. Sum of digits in N = (1 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 4 Aren't we supposed to find the HCF (1305, 4665, 6905) rather than that of the HCF(4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305)? |

Question 7 Draw a ΔABC in which AB= 4 cm, BC =6 cm and AC = 9 cm, construct a triangle similar to ΔABC with scale factor 32. Justify the construction. Are the two triangles congruent? Note that, all the three angles and two sides of the two triangles are equal. SolutionThinking process Triangles are congruent when all corresponding sides and interior angles are congruent The triangles will have the same shape and size, but one may be a mirror image of the other. So, first, we construct a triangle similar to ΔABC with scale factor 32 and use the above concept to check the triangles are congruent or not. |
