The probability of selecting a rotten apple randomly from a heap of 900 apples is 0.18. What is the number of rotten apples in the heap?
If a tower 30 m high, casts a shadow 10 3m long on the ground, then what is the angle of elevation of the sun?
If the angle between two tangents drawn from an external point P to a circle of radius a and centre O, is 60°, then find the length of OP.
Prove that the tangents drawn at the end points of a chord of a circle make equal angles with the chord.
A line intersects the y-axis and x-axis at the points P and Q respectively. If (2, -5) is the mid-point of PQ, then find the coordinates of P and Q.
Find the value of p, for which one root of the quadratic equation px2 – 14x + 8= 0 is 6 times the other.
For what value of n, are the nth terms of two A.Ps. 63, 65, 67,…. and 3, 10, 17,….. equal?
For A.P. 63, 65, 67,........, we have
First term = 63 and common difference = 65-63 = 2
Hence, nth term = an = 63 + (n-1) 2
For A.P. 3, 10, 17,........, we have
First term = 3 and common difference = 10-3 = 7
Hence, ntn term = an = 3 + (n-1) 7
