Ques:- There are two water tanks X andY , X is much smaller than Y. While water fills at the rate of 1 liter every hour in X, it gets filled up like, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 in tank Y. (At the end of first hour, Y has 10 liters, second hour it has 20 liters and so on). If tank Y is 1/32 filled of the 21 hours, what is total duration of hours required to fill it completely?
Recent Answer : Added by Grace On 2020-11-25 15:02:28:

1/32(x)L=21h
10L=1h
X=21x10x32
=6720 Liters
Thus:
6720L=Yh
10L=1h
Yh=6720/10
Y=672h

Ques:- There is a 5digit no. 3 pairs of sum is eleven each. Last digit is 3 times the first one. 3 rd digit is 3 less than the second. 4 th digit is 4 more than the second one. Find the digit.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 11:59:40:

let first digit be ‘X’
then 5th digit is ‘3X’
let 2nd digit be ‘Y’
then 3rd digit is ‘Y-3’
and 4th digit is ‘Y+4’
then the no is ‘(X)(Y)(Y-3)(Y+4)(3X)’
from the above we can say 3X<=9 so X<=3 and any of the digit in the number is <=9 and also given that 3 pairs sum is 11... so make trial and error.. if X=1...any of the no is 10 which is wrong trial.... if X=2...then let Y+4=9 ==> Y=5
then no is 25296
first pair 2+9=11
second pair 2+9=11
third pair 5+6=11
now the answer is 25296

Ques:- The three boxes 1,2,3 has values resp. AB,BC,AC Get 2A(B+C) +AC-2C(A-B)in Box 1 using only addition in 3 steps.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:02:03:

GIVEN: 2A(B+C)+AC-2C(A-B)
THEREFORE 2AB+2AC+AC-2AC+2BC
2AB+AC+2BC
2(AB+BC)+AC
LET b1=AB b2=BC b3=AC
STEP1: b1 = b1+b2
so b1 = AB+BC
THEREFORE
NOW: b1 = AB+BC b2 = BC b3 = AC
STEP 2: b3 = b1+b3
so b3 = AB+BC+AC
THEREFORE
NOW: b1 = AB+BC b2 = BC b3 = AB+BC+AC
STEP3:
NOW: b1 = b1+b3
so b1 = AB+BC+AB+BC+AC
=2(AB+BC)+ AC
AB BC AC
STEP1 AB+BC BC AC
STEP2 AC BC AB+BC+AC
STEP3 AB+BC+AB+BC+AC BC AB+BC+AC
i.e 2(AB+BC)+AC BC AB+BC+AC

Ques:- Tell me about a time when you had to work through some negativity to get some work done.
Ques:- When x is real what is the least value of (x**2-6*x+5)/(x**2+2*x+1)
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:23:

(x**2 – 6* x + 5) = (x-1)*(x-5)
(x**2 + 2 * x + 1) = (x + 1) * (x+1) = (x+1)**2
For what x is (x-1)*(x-5)/( (x+1)**2) a minimum?
One way to answer this question is by using calculus.
Take the derivative, and set to zero.
Since this is a fraction of polynomials, and a fraction is
zero only if it’s numerator is zero, we need calculate only
the numerator of the derivative and set it to zero.
The numerator of the
Derivative of (x-1)*(x-5)/( (x+1)**2) is
( (x-1) + (x-5) ) ( x+1)**2 – (x-1)(x-5)( 2 (x+1) )
= (2 x – 6) (x+1)**2 – (2) (x-1)(x-5) (x+1)
= 0
Divide through by 2 (x+1)
(x-3)(x+1) – (x-1)(x-5) = 0
(x**2 – 2 x – 3 ) – (x**2 – 6 x + 5) = 0
x**2 – x**2 – 2 x + 6 x – 3 – 5 = 0
4 x – 8 = 0
x = 2
Plugging in x = 2 into the original
(x**2-6*x+5)/(x**2+2*x+1)
gives us (2**2 – 6 * 2 + 5)/(2**2 + 2*2 + 1)
= (4 – 12 + 5) / (4 + 4 + 1) = -3/9 = -1/3
Least value is -1/3
