@ bkd
376 is right i guess [] i got the same ans.
375 nos + 4000 as well = 375



ne updates on the seed question?

and obtuse angled triangle as well ? i marked 15 , but i guess it shud b 14
one of the traingles will b 15,15,8 which would make it isosceles and hence not obtuse .....

darn i took 4000 as 40,000 and tried solving the question, screwed a sitter

Puys anyone for f(x)=ax^2+bx+c f(5)=-3f(2).....
my answer was -4!!!!!!!!!
Yep, I got the same. What about the second question in that set?

The equation is (x^2 + x - 12) right? So a=1, b=1, c=(-12). So a+b+c is (-10) right? :confused:

my answer was -4!!!!!!!!!
-4 is the only root for which f(5) = -3f(2)
f(x)=(x-3)(x+4) = x^2+x-12, f(2)=-6 and f(5)=18
