a composite no. has 720 factors, if the no of distint prime factors is max possible, what is the no of pairs of factors which are coprime to each otherand whose product is the given no.

a...8
b...64
c...32
d...16
e...4


There are 10 types of people, those who understand binary and those who don’t.!!!

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 19

For (x^2)to be max (y^2 + z^2) to be Min

y^2 + z^2 = (y + z)^2 -2yz => For this to be Min "yz" should be Max which is for y = z

So x + y + z = 5 or
x + 2y = 5
y = (5-x)/2...............(i)
Also
xy + yz + zx = 3 or
2xy + y^2 = 3
Substitute the value of y from eqn(i) you will have x = 13/3 as Max

my approach..............
x + y + z = 5
x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 2*(xy + yz + zx) = 25
x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 19
2(y^2+z^2)>=(y+z)^2
=> 2(19-x^2)>=(5-x)^2
=>38-2x^2>=25+x^2 -10x
=>3x^2 -10x-13=<0
=>3x^2-13x+3x-13=<0
=>(x+1)(3x-13)=<0
-1=<x<=13/3
or
y=z
2y+x=5
2y^2+x^2=19
[(5-x)^2]/2 +x^2=19
this equation would also give x=13/3 on calculation

720 = 2*2*2*2*3*3*5

For Max distinct prime factors, Number = a * b * c * d * (e^2) * (f^2) * (g^4) {Where a,b,c,d,e,f,g are Prime numbers}

So Required Ans = 2^(7-1) = 64

.. a car is climbing up the hill at 90kmph . a rabbit is sitting at the top of the hill spots the car when it is 1170 km away and start running down towards the car at 140 kmph. as soon as it meets the car it turns back to the top of hill at 120kmph. the rabbit continues to do this till the car reaches the top. the total distance travelled by the rabbits is......

bro my fault.. i did a mistake..(actually watching football and doing sums don't go hand in hand..my fault..)

ans is .20833%

480 is taxable amt from suknas point of view,in net he ought o give

480/60=800

so 800/384000=.20833%
