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.

Question is not completed
The letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G, not necessarily in that order, stand for seven consecutive integers from 1 to 10
D is 3 less than A
B is the middle term
F is as much less than B as C is greater than D
G is greater than F

1. The fifth integer is
(a) A
(b) C
(c) D
(d) E
(e) F
ans:a
2.A is as much greater than F as which integer is
less than G
(a) A
(b) B
(c) C
(d) D
(e) E
ans:a

3. If A = 7, the sum of E and G is
(a) 8
(b) 10
(c) 12
(d) 14
(e) 16

4. An integer T is as much greater than C as C is
greater than E. T
can be written as A + E. What is D?
(a) 2
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 5
(e) Cannot be determined
ans:a

Suppose 1 person consumes 1 unit food daily.
So, for 24 days, 1600 person will consume 1600×24 units.
So total units of food available = 1600×24

Now total number of person =1200

So, total food will be consumed by 1200 person in (1600×24)/1200 = 32 days.

Example 1:
Assign, A=20, B=10, C=5, D=5(Because C is equal to D as
given), E=1.
A/B = 20/10 = 2. So A/B = 2
A/C = 20/5 = 4. So A/C = 4
A/E = 20/1 = 20. So A/E = 20
Therefore “A/E is Greatest”
Example 2:
Assign, A=100, B=50, C=20, D=20(Because C is equal to D as
given), E=10.
A/B = 100/50 = 2. So A/B = 2
A/C = 100/20 = 5. So A/C = 5
A/E = 100/10 = 10. So A/E = 10
Therefore “A/E is Greatest”

They’ll never meet unless some of them stop and other continue to run

Use 3pt. Formula
( (x-x1)/(x2-x1) )=( (y-y1)/(y2-y1) )
We get 150
