Please help in solving this

It looks correct for me as well...

Suresh sir,please take a look on this prob...

Same here as well...

Even if you consider only integral percentages it comes down to 98

culdip bhai ka question

A straight stick is broken randomly in 3 pieces, what is the probability that a triangle can be made ?

with approach...

Two cuts will give us three pieces

If both the cuts are on the same half of the stick, one resulting piece will have a length more than or equal to half of the length of stick thus violating the rule that the sum of two sides must be greater than the third side.

Thus if both the cuts are on the same half of the stick, no triangle can be formed. For this the probability is 1/2

Now, though both the cuts are on different halves of the stick, if the distance between them is more than or equal to half the length of the stick, no triangle can be formed, for which the probability is 1/4

Thus, 1/2+1/4 = 3/4 of the cases, no triangle can be formed

Hence, probability of forming a triangle = 1/4

Q.) A 5- digit number n is such that if we put the digit 1 at the beginning of the number, we get a number that is three times smaller than what we get if we put the digit 1 at the end of the number n. What is the sum of the digits of this number n?
a.) 23........... b.) 25..........c.) 26...........d.)27


O.A. is 26

Good Night puys

Number is 42857

Let the 5 digit number be n

Adding 1 at the beginning, the resultant number can be written as 10^5+n
Adding 1 at the end, the resultant number can be written as 10n+1

Given 3(10^5+n) = 10n+1
=> 7n = 299999 => n = 42857
Hence sum = 26

Q.) How many pair of positive integers (a, b) are there such that their LCM is 2012?


P.S. Yaar Allan VA ki tayyari ho ri hai Zor Shor se.....Aaj bore ho gaya to socha doston se mil loon ;)

2012 = 2^2 * 503

Let a = 2^x1 * 503^y1 and b = 2^x2 * 503^y2

(x1,x2) => 5 chances
(y1,y2) => 3 chances

Total 5*3 = 15 numbers

O.A. for the previous one is 31


Q.) The ratio of the sum of the first p term to the sum of the first q terms of an arithmetic progression is p^2/q^2. Find the ratio of the twelfth term to the fifteenth term of the same AP .
a.) 4/5.......... b.) 23/29.......... c.) 25/31...........4)Cannot be determined.

23/29

s12/s15 = 12^2/15^2
=>12/2/15/2= 144/225
=>d = 2a

T12/T15 = a+11d/a+14d = 23a/29a = 23/29

Itna sannata kyu hai bhai :|

Q.) If x and y are positive numbers and sqrt(x^2 + 16y) + sqrt(y^2 + 16x) = 45 and x - y = 9 then find the value of x + y .

a.) 15........b.) 21........c.) 31..........d.) 36

31 I just made use of the choices
