(8, 8)

(8, 5)

(7,7)

(7, 5)

When y = 5, y = x2 - 12x + 40, becomes
x2 - 12x + 40 = 5
x2 - 12x + 40 - 5 = 0
x2 + 12x + 35 = 0
x2 - 7x - 5x + 35 = 0
x(x - 7) - 5(x - 7) = 0
= (x - 5)(x - 7)
x = 5 or 7

2.34 and 10

3.871 and 2

7.831 and -11

Antwoorddetails

$\frac{0.0001432}{1940000}$ = k x 10n

where 1 $\leq$ k $\leq$ 10 and n is a whole number. Using four figure tables, the eqn. gives 7.38 x 10-11

k = 7.381, n = -11

Asector =

\frac{60}{360} \times π r^{2}

= $\frac{1}{6} π r^{2}$

A $△$ = $\frac{1}{2} r^{2} \sin 60^{o}$

$\frac{1}{2} r^{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{r^{2} \sqrt{3}}{4}$

A $shaded portion$ = Asector -
A $△$

= ( $\frac{1}{6} π r^{2} - \frac{r^{2} \sqrt{3}}{4})^{3}$

= $\frac{π r^{2}}{2} - \frac{3 r^{2} \sqrt{3}}{4}$

= $\frac{r^{2}}{4} (2 π - 3 \sqrt{3})$

Antwoorddetails

Numbers divisible by 4 between 1 and 300 include 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 e.t.c. To get the number of figures divisible by 4, We solve by method of A.P
Let x represent numbers divisible by 4, nth term = a + (n - 1)d
a = 4, d = 4
Last term = 4 + (n - 1)4
288 = 4 + 4n - n
=

\frac{288}{4}

= 72
rn(Note: 288 is the last Number divisible by 4 between 1 and 300)
Prob. of x =

\frac{72}{288}

=
