Cauchy-Schwarz's inequality: (a1^2 + a2^2 + a3^3 +...)*(b1^2 + b2^2 + b3^3 +...) >= (a1*b1 + a2*b2 + a3*b3 + ...)^2(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + d^2)*(2^2 + 3^2 + 6^2 + 24^2) >= (2a + 3b + 6c + 24d)^2100*625 >= (2a + 3b + 6c + 24d)^2250
thanx:)

no, the answer is 16/5....i posted this question as it uses cauchy's inequality

a+b+c+d = (8-e)
a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2 = (16-e^2)

we know, (a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2)(1+1+1+1) >= (a+b+c+d)^2
4(16-e^2) >= (8-e)^2
64-4e^2 >= 64 - 16e + e^2
16 >= 5e

26??

All primes + 4... hence 26...

2,3,4,5,7, and all the prime numbers which follow... 11,13,17,19,23,29,31,37,41,43,47,53,59,61,67,71,73,79,83,89,97... 26 numbers?

all prime no. and 4 --> total = 26?

yes crct please explain

abcd number maan liya...
a+b = c+d hona chahiye....
when sum is 1...
(a,b) = 1,0
(c,d) = (1,0);(0,1)
when sum is 2...
(a,b) = (1,1);(2,0)
(c,d) = (1,1);(2,0);(0,2)
so we see a pattern...for sum 1 ->1*2 = 2 numbers..
for sum 2 -> 2*3 numbers...
likewise till 9... (9*10 numbers)
now when sum is 10 (>9)
(a,b) = (c,d) = (9,1);(8,2);(7,3);(6,4);(5,5);(4,6);(3,7);(2,8);(1,9) -> so 9*9 or 9^2 numbers...
and so on for all sum combinations till 18...

i hope samajh aa gaya hoga..
Find the maximum value of 3x + 4y if x^2 + y^2 = 6x - 4y - 4
(a) 8 (b) 9 (c) 10 (d) none of the foregoing

1001,1010. .... 1*2 where sum is 1.. such numbers are 2.
1102,1120,1111 ... 2*3... where sum is 2 ..such numbers are 3.
aise 8*9 tk same.
then for 10 onwards
like 1991, 1982,1973,1964,1955,1946,1937,1928,1919.... 9*9.
similary for sum 9, 1881,1872,1863,1854,1845,1836,1827,1818... 8*8
last number, 9999 hoga. sum coming to 18.
toh sum k liye.. add up.. 1*2+2*3+... 8*9 + 9*10 + 9*9+8*8+ ... 1*1... =615.

@DeAdLy -haa bhai...correct hain tera ans ... plz post the solution bhai..
assume values in succession. then calculate total. Divide by 4. Thats the share of vodka they drink.

Now find out how much each of the three contributed to the fourth. Given second receives half of what first receives. Solve it for the equation.

d) the second equation is the equ of a circle with centre at (3,-2) and radius 3......at one of the points on the circle(3,1) ( at angle- 90 degrees) the expression 3x+4y gives 13.......so option d.....looking for a better soln

okay


second equation is the equ of a circle with centre at (3,-2 )


shifting the coordinates of center to (0,0)

we get x^2 + y^2 =9

and 3x + 4y becomes 3x + 4y + 1


now x=((9-y^2))^1/2


put this in 3x + 4y + 1 and diff wrt y to get max of y

y=12/5

and the exp gives 16
