connect the centers of all three circles. you'll get a equilateral triagle with sides 2.
2/3rd of the height of the triangle will give you the radius of the circle which passes through centers of all the 3 circles. now just add 1 to that value to get the radius of the circle that touches all...

Basically we have to find an A.P. such that the sum of the numbers = 600
Let the first term = a which should be a positive number,
Common difference = 1 and
Number of terms = n
=> Sum of this A.P. = n*(2a + n - 1)/2 = 600 = 2^3 * 3 * 5^2

can u please share the solution sir, i am not sure of the answer
21 me kya galat hai???? n = 21 matlab iss base system me 21 digits hai aur fir uss ke baad 2 digit no chalu hote hai.. .. so 13 can be considered as single digit no in base 21
aur n = 13 bhi sahi hai .. but ye option me nahi hai iss liye chhod diya..

It would be great if you could xplain how 21...
I followed the same steps as @[556294:FoolNFinal] .. Putting n=21 m getting
A/B=13/2
But if i put n-13i get A/B=8/1
So shoudnt 13 be the ans?

bhai there can be a lot of values of n that is why the question is which among the following options can be the value of n so check among the given options which one fits

Bhai log mera to 13 hi aa raha hain which is not in option jara dekho to ...take AB as 81 and n=13then (AB)n=(81)13=105and5(BA)n=5*(18)13=5*21=105so n=13 shoiuld be answersorry for posting two posts ...making correctionthe new PG doesn't have edit option
@ashish100 said: getting 13 as OAAn+B =5Bn +5Asolve for n .....A,B comes out to be 8,1 or AB is 81 and n is 13

jara dekho to ...
take AB as 81 and n=13
then (AB)n=(81)13=105
and

1... 0 cause n = (a+b)*(a-b)both a+b and a-b should be even or odd but scince we have only one 2 .. so one will be odd and other will always be even .. so 0 ways

It should be 40 rubies.
A direct approach is there.
1 kg ruby --> 4/0.3 = 13.33 cr
1 kg emerald --> 5/0.4.= 12.5 cr
So Rubies has to be maximised --> so 40 rubies.
Alternate approach:
0.3R+0.4E=12
=> R/40 + E/30 =1

Let x be the the area of the circle outside the square.Also, x will be the area of the square outside the circle. Let y be the area of remaining portion of the circle.
Area of circle=x + ypi * r^2=x + yalso, Area of square=x + yArea of square=pi *r^2
Area of circle=x + ypi * r^2=x + yalso, Area of square=x + yArea of square=pi *r^2
