Ques:- A polygon has maximum 1325 diagonals. How many vertices does it have?
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-15 08:05:23:

The formula to find number of diagonals (D) given total number of vertices or sides (N) is

N * (N – 3)

D = ———–

2

Using the formula, we get
1325 * 2 = N * (N – 3)
N2 – 3N – 2650 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation, we get N = 53 or -50

It is obvious that answer is 53 as number of vertices can not be negative.

Alternatively, you can derive the formula as triange has 0 diagonals, quadrangel has 2, pentagon has 5, hexagon has 9 and so on……

Hence the series is 0, 0, 0, 2, 5, 9, 14, …….. (as diagram with 1,2 or 3 vertices will have 0 diagonals).

Using the series one can arrive to the formula given above.

Ques:- From a pack of cards two cards are drawn one after the other, with replacement. The probability that the first is a red card and the second is a king is -.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 19:02:13:

Explanation:

Let E1 be the event of drawing a red card.

Let E2 be the event of drawing a king .
P(E1 ∩ E2) = P(E1) . P(E2)
(As E1 and E2 are independent)
= 1/2 * 1/13 = 1/26

Ques:- If on an item a company gives 25% discount, they earn 25% profit. If they now give 10% discount then what is the profit percentage.(a) 40%(b) 55%(c) 35%(d) 30%
Recent Answer : Added by Soumyadip Dutta On 2022-09-02 17:02:21:

let MP = 100x
25% discount = 75x -> SP
Profit% = (Profit/CP)x100
125 = (75x/CP)x100
.: CP = 60x

Now if discount = 10%
SP = 90x
.: Profit% = ((90x-60x)/60x)x100 = 50%
