The sum of three consecutive integers is 5685. Which of the following is the correct set of these numbers? (a) 1893, 1894, 1895 (b) 1895, 1896, 1897 (c) 1899, 1900, 1901 (d) 1897, 1898, 1899 (e) None of these
Given the sum of three consecutive integers is 5685, we express this as: \[ n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 5685 \] Simplifying, we get: \[ 3n + 3 = 5685 \] \[ 3n = 5682 \] \[ n = \frac{5682}{3} = 1894 \] However, the value of \(n\) calculated here represents the smallest of the three consecutive numbers, nRead more
Given the sum of three consecutive integers is 5685, we express this as:
\[
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 5685
\]
Simplifying, we get:
\[
3n + 3 = 5685
\]
\[
3n = 5682
\]
\[
n = \frac{5682}{3} = 1894
\]
However, the value of \(n\) calculated here represents the smallest of the three consecutive numbers, not the middle one. This correction leads to the correct identification of the series as follows:
Therefore, the correct set of numbers is \(1894, 1895, 1896\), which does not match any of the options provided explicitly as listed. Given the specific numbers and the correction in understanding that \(n\) represents the starting (smallest) number in the sequence, the correct response should accurately reflect this set.
Thus, the corrected and accurate answer is (e) None of these, as the exact sequence derived from the calculation does not appear in the options provided.
See lessThe sum of the squares of two odd numbers is 11570 . The square of the smaller number is 5329 . What is the other number? (a) 73 (b) 75 (c) 78 (d) 79 (e) None of these
Solution Given the sum of the squares of two odd numbers is 11570, and the square of the smaller number is 5329, we can find the square of the other number as follows: Step 1: Find the Square of the Other Number The sum of the squares is given by: \[ 11570 = 5329 + x^2 \] where \(x^2\) is the squareRead more
Solution
Given the sum of the squares of two odd numbers is 11570, and the square of the smaller number is 5329, we can find the square of the other number as follows:
Step 1: Find the Square of the Other Number
The sum of the squares is given by:
\[
11570 = 5329 + x^2
\]
where \(x^2\) is the square of the other number. Solving for \(x^2\):
\[
x^2 = 11570 – 5329 = 6241
\]
Step 2: Determine the Other Number
To find the value of \(x\), we take the square root of 6241:
\[
x = \sqrt{6241} = 79
\]
Therefore, the other number is 79.
The correct answer is (d) 79.

Solution To find the remainder when \((11)^3\) is subtracted from \((46)^2\), we first calculate each term: Calculating \((46)^2\) \[ (46)^2 = 2116 \] Calculating \((11)^3\) \[ (11)^3 = 1331 \] Now, subtracting \((11)^3\) from \((46)^2\): \[ 2116 - 1331 = 785 \] Therefore, the remainder when \((11)^Read more
Solution
To find the remainder when \((11)^3\) is subtracted from \((46)^2\), we first calculate each term:
Calculating \((46)^2\)
\[
(46)^2 = 2116
\]
Calculating \((11)^3\)
\[
(11)^3 = 1331
\]
Now, subtracting \((11)^3\) from \((46)^2\):
\[
2116 – 1331 = 785
\]
Therefore, the remainder when \((11)^3\) is subtracted from \((46)^2\) is 785.
The correct answer is (b) 785.

To find the least number that can be added to 4800 to make it a perfect square, we observe that: \(4800\) is close to \(4900\), which is a perfect square. The square root of \(4900\) is \(70\), indicating \(4900\) is the nearest perfect square above \(4800\). The calculation to find the required leaRead more
To find the least number that can be added to 4800 to make it a perfect square, we observe that:
The calculation to find the required least number is:
\[
4900 – 4800 = 100
\]
Thus, the least number that needs to be added to 4800 to make it a perfect square is 100.
Since none of the provided options (a) through (d) match \(100\), the correct answer is indeed (e) None of these.
See lessA factory produces 1515 items in 3 days. How many items will they produce in a week? (a) 3530 (b) 3553 (c) 3533 (d) 3535 (e) None of these
Solution To find out how many items a factory produces in a week (7 days), given that it produces 1515 items in 3 days, we can use a simple proportion: \[ \text{Items produced in 3 days : 3 days = Items produced in 7 days : 7 days} \] We can set up the equation as follows: \[ \frac{1515 \text{ itemsRead more
Solution
To find out how many items a factory produces in a week (7 days), given that it produces 1515 items in 3 days, we can use a simple proportion:
\[
\text{Items produced in 3 days : 3 days = Items produced in 7 days : 7 days}
\]
We can set up the equation as follows:
\[
\frac{1515 \text{ items}}{3 \text{ days}} = \frac{x \text{ items}}{7 \text{ days}}
\]
To find \(x\) (the number of items produced in 7 days), we solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{1515 \times 7}{3}
\]
\[
x = \frac{10605}{3}
\]
\[
x = 3535 \text{ items}
\]
Therefore, the factory will produce 3535 items in a week.
The correct answer is (d) 3535.

Solution To determine which of the given statements is true, we evaluate each option: Option (a): \(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}>\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}\) We calculate both sides of the inequality: Left side: \(\sqrt{5} + \sqrt{3}\) Right side: \(\sqrt{6} + \sqrt{2}\) Approximating the square roots: \(\sqrt{5} \aRead more
Solution
To determine which of the given statements is true, we evaluate each option:
Option (a): \(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}>\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}\)
We calculate both sides of the inequality:
Approximating the square roots:
Summing up the approximations:
Since \(3.968 > 3.863\), option (a) \(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}>\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}\) is true.
Option (b): \(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}<\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}\)
From our calculation above, we know that the left side is greater than the right side, making this option false.
Option (c): \(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}\)
As shown, the two sides are not equal, making this option false.
Option (d): \((\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})=1\)
This option can be quickly dismissed without calculation, as the product of these sums, given their approximate values, clearly does not equal 1.
Thus, the correct answer is (a) \(\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}>\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}\).
See lessA teacher wants to arrange his students in an equal number of rows and columns. If there are 1369 students, the number of students in the last row are (a) 37 (b) 33 (c) 63 (d) 47
Solution To arrange 1369 students in an equal number of rows and columns, we need to find a square number that is closest to 1369 because the square root of that number will give us the number of students in each row and column. Finding the Square Root The square root of 1369 gives us: \[ \sqrt{1369Read more
Solution
To arrange 1369 students in an equal number of rows and columns, we need to find a square number that is closest to 1369 because the square root of that number will give us the number of students in each row and column.
Finding the Square Root
The square root of 1369 gives us:
\[
\sqrt{1369} = 37
\]
This means that the teacher can arrange the students in 37 rows and 37 columns, with each row and column having exactly 37 students. Therefore, the number of students in the last row is 37.
The correct answer is (a) 37.
See less‘a’ divides 228 leaving a remainder 18. The biggest two-digit value of ‘a’ is (a) 30 (b) 70 (c) 21 (d) 35
Given that 'a' divides 228 leaving a remainder of 18, we first calculate the value that 'a' divides exactly: \[ 228 - 18 = 210 \] The question asks for the largest two-digit value of 'a'.

Given that ‘a’ divides 228 leaving a remainder of 18, we first calculate the value that ‘a’ divides exactly:
\[
228 – 18 = 210
\]
The question asks for the largest two-digit value of ‘a’. This means we are looking for the largest two-digit number that divides 210 without leaving a remainder.
Upon considering the mistake in the initial explanation, the largest two-digit divisor of 210 is indeed found to be 70. This is because 210 divided by 70 equals 3, without leaving any remainder, making 70 the largest two-digit number that fits the criteria.
Thus, the correct answer is (b) 70.

Solution
To find the value of the given expression
\[
3+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}+3}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}-3},
\]
we can simplify each term individually, starting with rationalizing the denominators where necessary:
Simplification Steps
First, let’s address the fractions involving square roots by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator when needed:
\[
\begin{aligned}
& 3+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{3+\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{3-\sqrt{3}}{3-\sqrt{3}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}-3} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}+3}{\sqrt{3}+3} \\
& = 3+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}+\frac{3-\sqrt{3}}{3^2-(\sqrt{3})^2}+\frac{\sqrt{3}+3}{(\sqrt{3})^2-3^2} \\
& = 3+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}+\frac{3-\sqrt{3}}{9-3}+\frac{\sqrt{3}+3}{3-9} \\
& = 3+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}+\frac{3-\sqrt{3}}{6}-\frac{\sqrt{3}+3}{6} \\
\end{aligned}
\]
Combining terms:
\[
\begin{aligned}
& = \frac{3 \times 6}{6}+\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{6}+\frac{3-\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}-3}{6} \\
& = \frac{18+2 \sqrt{3}-2 \sqrt{3}}{6} \\
& = \frac{18}{6} \\
& = 3 \\
\end{aligned}
\]
Therefore, the value of the given expression is 3.
The correct answer is (b) 3.
See lessIf a + b + c = 9 (where a, b, c are real numbers), then the minimum value of a^2 + b^2 + c^2 is (a) 81 (b) 100 (c) 9 (d) 27
Solution To find the minimum value of \(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\) given that \(a+b+c=9\), where \(a, b, c\) are real numbers, we can follow these steps: Step 1: Express \(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\) in Terms of \(a+b+c\) We start by expanding \((a+b+c)^2\), which gives us: \[ \begin{aligned} (a+b+c)^2 & = a^2Read more
Solution
To find the minimum value of \(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\) given that \(a+b+c=9\), where \(a, b, c\) are real numbers, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Express \(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\) in Terms of \(a+b+c\)
We start by expanding \((a+b+c)^2\), which gives us:
\[
\begin{aligned}
(a+b+c)^2 & = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab + bc + ca) \\
\end{aligned}
\]
Thus, we can express \(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\) as:
\[
\begin{aligned}
a^2+b^2+c^2 & =(a+b+c)^2-2(ab+bc+ca) \\
& =9^2-2(ab+bc+ca)
\end{aligned}
\]
Step 2: Maximizing \(ab + bc + ca\)
Since \(a^2+b^2+c^2\) will be minimum if \(ab + bc + ca\) is maximum, we consider the condition for maximizing \(ab + bc + ca\).
This condition is met when \(a = b = c\), due to the symmetry of the expression and given that their sum is fixed (\(a + b + c = 9\)). Thus, when \(a = b = c = 3\), \(ab + bc + ca\) is maximized.
Step 3: Calculating the Minimum Value
Substituting \(a = b = c = 3\) into our expression:
\[
\begin{aligned}
a^2+b^2+c^2 & = 81 – 2(3 \times 3 + 3 \times 3 + 3 \times 3) \\
& = 81 – 2(27) \\
& = 81 – 54 \\
& = 27
\end{aligned}
\]
Therefore, the minimum value of \(a^2+b^2+c^2\) is 27.
The correct answer is (d) 27.
