6 miles per hour…….
actually hat fell when they were 1 mile away from starting
and total time hat takes to travel to the starting point is
10 minutes ( 5 + 5 ).so, 1 miles per 10 minutes thats why 6
miles per hour

Ques:- Let S be the set of prime numbers greater than or equal to 2 and less than 100. Multiply all the elements of S. With how many consecutive zeros will the product end?
A. 1
B. 4
C. 5
D. 10
Recent Answer : Added by Yash G On 2023-03-01 17:24:09:

To determine how many consecutive zeros the product of S will end with, we need to find the highest power of 10 that divides the product. This is equivalent to finding the highest power of 5 that divides the product, since the number of factors of 2 will always be greater than the number of factors of 5.

The primes in S are {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97}.

There are 24 primes in S, so the product of S is:

2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13 x 17 x 19 x 23 x 29 x 31 x 37 x 41 x 43 x 47 x 53 x 59 x 61 x 67 x 71 x 73 x 79 x 83 x 89 x 97

We need to find the highest power of 5 that divides this product. To do this, we count the number of factors of 5 in the prime factorization of each number in S.

5 appears once: 5
5 appears once: 25
5 appears once: 35
5 appears once: 55
5 appears once: 65
5 appears once: 85
So, there are six factors of 5 in the product of S. However, we also need to consider the powers of 5 that arise from the factors 25, 35, 55, and 65.

25 = 5 x 5 appears once: 25
35 = 5 x 7 appears once: 35
55 = 5 x 11 appears once: 55
65 = 5 x 13 appears once: 65
Each of these numbers contributes an additional factor of 5 to the product of S. Therefore, there are 6 + 4 = 10 factors of 5 in the product of S.

Since each factor of 5 corresponds to a factor of 10, we know that the product of S will end with 10 zeros. Therefore, the product of S will end with 10 consecutive zeros

Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-16 09:53:11:

Ans :15
X be a present age of mudit
After 18 year age of mudit is X+18
4 year ago age was X-4
As per question,
X+18=3(X-4)
X+18=3X-12
3X-X=18+12
2X=30
X=15

Ques:- A, B and C contract a work for Rs. 550. Together A and B aresupposed to do 7/11th of the work. How much does C get?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:03:59:

let the total work to be done =1
so a+b+c=1 (say)
then a and b are supposed to do 7/11 th of work
so c= 1- (7/11)
c=4/11
therefore c gets (4/11)*550
=200 is the answer
