add(5, divide(subtract(36, 26), 10))
the average of 10 numbers is calculated as 5 . it is discovered later on that while calculating the average , one number namely 36 was wrongly read as 26 . the correct average is ?
"10 * 5 + 36 – 26 = 60 / 10 = 6 answer : e"
a = 36 - 26 b = a / 10 c = 5 + b
a ) 9 , b ) 14 , c ) 21 , d ) 28 , e ) 42
d
multiply(14, const_2)
if ( 10 ^ 4 * 3.456789 ) ^ 14 is written as a single term , how many digits would be to the right of the decimal place ?
3.456789 ^ 14 has 6 * 14 = 84 decimal places . 10 ^ 56 moves the decimal place to the right 56 places . ( 10 ^ 4 * 3.456789 ) ^ 14 has 84 - 56 = 28 digits after the decimal point . the answer is d .
a = 14 * 2
a ) 3 : 2 , b ) 2 : 1 , c ) 1 : 2 , d ) 4 : 5 , e ) 2 : 3
d
multiply(divide(2, 3), multiply(divide(2, 3), divide(6, 3)))
find the compound ratio of ( 2 : 3 ) , ( 6 : 11 ) and ( 11 : 5 ) is
"required ratio = 2 / 3 * 6 / 11 * 11 / 5 = 2 / 1 = 4 : 5 answer is d"
a = 2 / 3 b = 2 / 3 c = 6 / 3 d = b * c e = a * d
a ) 196 , b ) 158 , c ) 192 , d ) 200 , e ) none
c
add(add(subtract(const_10, const_1), multiply(multiply(subtract(const_10, const_1), const_10), const_2)), multiply(add(subtract(1, const_100), const_1), const_3))
how many digits are required to write numbers between 1 to 100 .
"explanation : single digits are from 1 to 9 = 9 digits doubt digits are from 10 to 99 = 90 x 2 = 180 digits 100 needs 3 digits . total 192 digits correct option : c"
a = 10 - 1 b = 10 - 1 c = b * 10 d = c * 2 e = a + d f = 1 - 100 g = f + 1 h = g * 3 i = e + h
