sin α + sin β + sin γ = 0cos α + cos β + cos γ = 0cos (α − θ) + cos (β − θ) + cos (γ − θ) = ?OPTIONS1) sin θ 2) sin^2 θ 3) 0 4) 1 – cos θ
got it 0..

What is the probability that the product of two integers chosen at random has the same unit digit as the two integers?
favorable - 1,5,6,0
total - 10*10

so 1/25

b
yeh!
@Shray14 said:
9??
none of these

Is it 0?? 0%sure
Yeh!
A small terrace at a football ground comprises 15 steps, each of which is 50 m wide and is built of solid concrete. Each step rises to 0.25 m and a length of 0.5 m. Calculate the total volume of concrete required to the build the terrace.
OPTIONS

1) 750 cc
2) 650 cc
3) 550 cc
4) None of these

coz integer hain [-9,9] is the set

1st step - 0.25*50*.5 m^3= 6.25 m^3
total = 6.25(1+2+3+..+15)=6.25*120=750 m^3

Here you go...attached file should give the answer.Edit: Second figure mein A aur B interchange ho gaye. Sowwy regardsscrabbler
thanks :)...ohh hope shes fine now..

am out of box...dinner time Wave

@krum welcome back! :)

samjha nai, [-9,9] kyun? integers to infinite hain

all we need to consider is the units digit
1st digit can be taken in 10 ways
2nd in 10 ways

out of the 100 possible, only 1,1; 5,5; 6,6; 0,0; will give same units as both integers
A ladder has rungs 25 cm apart. The rungs decrease uniformly in length from 45 cm at the bottom to 25 cm at the top. If the top and the bottom rungs are 2.5 m apart, what is the length of wood required only for the rungs ?
OPTIONS

1) 350 cm
2) 300 cm
3) 50 cm
4) None of these

An integer can end with any of the ten digits (0, 1, 2 ....
9) out of which if it ends with one of the four (0, 1, 5,
6), the required condition will be satisfied.
The probability of an integer ending with 0 or 1 or 5 or
6 is 4/10 = 2/5
Now the probability of 2nd integer also ending with
the digit that has come in unit €™s place of the first
integer is 1/10
ˆ´ The required probability = (2/5) — (1/10) = 1/25
Any five points are taken inside or on a square of side 1. Let a be the smallest possible number with the property that it is always possible to select one pair of points from these five such that the distance between them is equal to or less than a.
Then a is :
rt3/3
rt2/2
2rt2/3
1

As I dont hav d OA ....so correct answer vill b decided as d option with vich d majority goes...

total rungs = 250/25+1=11

total length = 11/2(45+25)=11*(35)=385 cm

add +1 to ur rung count...
