Now c , m and b have to be integer. c must be of the form 24n.So c must be=24
Now m+b=18 becoz c+m+b=42
Now b must be 4,8,12,or 16.But as b is less than half of c it has to be less than 12 ie b=4 resulting into m=14 which is not possible becoz as indicated from third eqauation m<b So the given scenario is not possible
hope i make some sense..  | Bandhu, am not able to understand that how u concluded that c/2 and c/3 must be integers. According to question b<c/2 and m<c/3. This implies that c/2 and c/3 need not be integers. I do approve the point that c,m and b must be integral values but that doesn't mean that c must be of form 24n. A much easier solution to the prashna may be this one and this is not a hit and trial. ATQ: b= GIF{1/2c} ; GIF:- Greatest Integer Factor m= LIF{1/3c} ; LIF:- Least Integer Factor Also, m= GIF {3/4b}...........................(a) Since, c+b+m= 42 Hence: c+GIF{1/2c}+LIF{1/3c}= 42...............(b) => c= LIF{42*6/11} Hence, c= 23. The value of m and b is found to be 8 and 11 respectively by using above formed equations. The values satisfy equation (a). The method is not very conventional and may be wrong but itz not kinda hit and trial. Chiao............. Shashank...............

answer is zero
let g(x)= x^4-x^3-x^2-1
and f(x) = x.g(x)
now g(x) is zero at a b c d
pretty straight forward | | | | | | | |

f(x) is not x.g(x)
Actually f(x) = x^2 * g(x) + 1/x
Thus, f(a) + f(b) + f(c) + f(d) = 1/a + 1/b + 1/c + 1/d = 0
as 1/a, 1/b, 1/c, 1/d are roots of the eqn. g(1/x) = 0 i.e. x^4 + x^2 + x - 1 = 0 | | | | | | | |
