root2 +root3 +root4+.....n terms..what's the approach?
@sagarcat

How many real solutions exist for the equation 3^x=2x+1?

4/√(3-x)) – √(3-x)

How many integral values for the set (x,y) would exist for the expression|x-4| + |y-2| = 5?

can someone explain how to visualize this problem graphically??

The work done by 4 men in 12 days is equal to the work done by 6 women in 10 days and is also equal to the work done by 8 children in 9 days. A man, a woman and a child working together take 10 days to complete a particular job. In how many days will the same job be completed by 2 women and 5 children working together?

p = (x + 3y + 5z){1/x + 1/3y + 1/5z}
if x + 6y = 6, for what value of z, P will be min?

a. 2/5

b. 1/5

c. 5/3

d. 3/5

PLEASE post the approach with your answer

x, y, z are integers.
x + y + z = 3. Then what should be the minimum value of (1/x) + (1/y) + (1/z)

Not sure about the options. Post the approach please

A circle with center 'O' circumscribes a quadrilateral PQRS, such that the side RS of the quadrilateral is also the diameter of the circumcircle. The diagonals of the quadrilateral intersect at point M. PO and QO are joined. Find angle QMR ?
a. angle QOR+ angle POS
b. (angle QOR+angle POS)/2
c. (angle QOR+angle POS)-90 degree
d. none of these

23x + 29y = 3012.....no of integral solns possile?

Can some one ls share the formula to find area of a closed figure ..which has some I and H in it..i am not able to recall it..lookround

x is sitting 2 places left of y . Then no of people between them? 1 or 2

When they set question like - "for profit in long term" does it means , exhaustive set of events and their total expectation ?

A butler stole wine from a butt of cherry, which contained 60% of spirit solution.

He replaced wine containing only 10% spirit by volume. The resultant concentration of the mixture in the butt was then 25%.
What fraction of the butt of cherry did he steal ?

Find the sum of 1^2-3^2+5^2-7^2+......95^2-97^2+99^2

OA-8 ...how?

Shortest distance betwn two circles is:
distance between centres or
distance between two closest points?

How to draw curve...OA-c
