Ques:- 10 books are placed at random in a shelf. The probability that a pair of books will always be together is -.
Recent Answer : Added by Mahomed On 2021-08-24 15:05:46:

All books can be arranged in 10! ways. A single pair of books can be taken as a unit and arranged among the 8 others in 9! ways. The pair of books can also be interchanged and therefore rearranged in 2! ways. Thus the probability of the pair always being together is (9!*2!)/10!

Ques:- A computer shop consists 3 brands laptop. Laptop of brand A is sold 3/16, B is sold 1/16 and C is sold 3/4 then what fraction is sold by the shop in all.
Recent Answer : Added by jay On 2022-08-14 16:45:19:

Answer: 1 / 3

Lets say each brand had 16 laptops
So Sold : A = 3 , B= 1 and C = 12 , total sold: 16 ,
Since each brand has 16 , total = 48
so 16/ 48 = 1/3 is the sold fraction

Ques:- What are your hobbies and interests?
Ques:- The average salary of three employee is $950 per week. If one employee earns $1150 and other earns $650 rupees, how much will third be earn?
Recent Answer : Added by nani Reddy On 2021-08-05 17:11:29:

avg sal of 3 is $950
first person earns=$1150
second person earns=$650
let thirdperson =x
avg=(1150+650+x)/3
950*3=1800+x
x=2850-1800
x=$1050

Ques:- A man rows to a place 48 km distant and come back in 14 hours. He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream in the same time as 3 km against the stream. The rate of the stream is:
Recent Answer : Added by shashank chourasiya On 2022-03-09 16:42:05:

Hint: Assume that the speed of the stream is x and the speed of the boat in still water is x. From the statement of the question form two equations in two variables x and y. This system is reducible to linear equations in two variables. Reduce the system to a system of linear equations in two variables by proper substitutions. Solve the system of equations using any one of the methods like Substitution method, elimination method, graphical method or using matrices. Hence find the value of x satisfying both the equation. The value of x will be the speed of the stream.
Complete step-by-step answer:
Let the speed of the stream be x, and the speed of the boat in still water be y.
We have the speed of the boat upstream = y-x.
Speed of the boat downstream = y+ x.
Now since it takes 14 hours to reach a place at a distance of 48 km and come back, we have the sum of the times taken to reach the place downstream and time taken to return back upstream is equal to 14.
Now, we know that time =Distance speed
Using, we get
Time taken to reach the place =48y+x and the time taken to return back =48y−x.
Hence, we have
48y+x+48y−x=14
Dividing both sides by 2, we get
24y+x+24y−x=7 —–(i)
Also, the time taken to cover 4km downstream is equal to the time taken to cover 3km upstream.
Hence, we have 4y+x=3y−x
Transposing the term on RHS to LHS, we get
4y+x−3y−x=0 ——– (ii)
Put 1y+x=t and 1y−x=u, we have
24t+24u=7 ——-(iii)4t−3u=0 ——–(iv)
Multiplying equation (iv) by 6 and subtracting from equation (iii), we get
24t−24t+24u+18u=7⇒42u=7
Dividing both sides by 42, we get
u=742=16
Substituting the value of u in equation (iv), we get
4t−3(16)=0⇒4t−12=0
Adding 12 on both sides, we get
4t=12
Dividing both sides by 4, we get
t=18
Reverting to original variables, we have
1y+x=18 and 1y−x=16
Taking reciprocals on both sides in both equations, we have
y+ x=8 ——- (v)y−x=6 ——–(vi)
Adding equation (v) and equation (vi), we get
2y=14
Dividing both sides by 2, we get
y=7.
Substituting the value of y in equation (v), we get
7+x=8
Subtracting 7 from both sides we get
x = 8-7 =1
Hence the speed of the stream is 1 km/hr.
