Yumm! black-forest pastry :splat: :P

a + b + c = 23

a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 211 where b less than c and b greater than a

@Shray14 said:
Kaise kiya bro??
P+M+BF=23
P^2+M^2+BF^2=211
P>M>BF(given condition)...3,9,11 satisfy both the eqn
@Shray14 said:

solve equations.
let the quantity be a,b,c for black forest, mango and pine-apple
acc to question
a+b+c=23
a^2+b^2+c^2=211
solve the above equation.

as it is given in d ques.....{giving for each pastry as many rupees as there were party of that kind.}....my inference frm dis......no. of pastry he bought of a type= price of a pastry of that type...(no sure about my inference whether it is ryt or rong....lets see d OA)
X+Y+Z=23
X^2 + Y^2 + Z^2=211
only 3, 9 ,11 satisfies abuv eqs.
frm last lyn of d ques....pine=11,man=9,BF=3....

sir why u have squared the 2nd equation??
@Shray14 said:

cost of each is equal to its number of objects

Bhai agar 3 pastries hai and on 3 ki hai to 3 kitne ko hongi ?

3^2 ?

Similarly for others ..

probability question.0024/(.005+.0024+.0014)24/88=3/11?
yup..tht's the ans.

i have a question which covers a basic concept


what is the lcm of (15,1.5,1.5555555555......infinite times)
hcf(15,1.5,1.55555555555555555.......infinite times)

LCM of (15,1.5,1.5555555555......infinite times)
=LCM of (15, 3/2, 14/9)
=210/1=210
HCF of (15,1.5,1.5555555555......infinite times)
=HCF of (15, 3/2, 14/9)
=1/18
