The product of a number and its reciprocal is always equals to 1.

For Example : Let the number be 4.

Now, its reciprocal is 1/4

Hence, required product = 4 x 1/4 = 1.

Now, take the number as -15.

Then its reciprocal is -1/15

Required product = -15 x -1/15 = 1.

Hence, the product of a number and its reciprocal is 1.

3  1  7  3  7

3  1  7  3  8

7  1  7  3  9

At these places 1, 7, 3 appeared together

Indeterminate are those,which mathematics can’t determine.

Because we don’t actually know which one is the exact answer for this due to having lots of results for this.

Explanation::

• Let us think by this analogy that,

0 / 1 = 0

0 / 2 = 0

…………

………..

we can say 0 / n = 0 from this we can write, 0/0 = 0

• Again, another analogy,(from limiting concept of 1/0 = infinity)

1 / 0 = +∞ or -∞

2 /0 = +∞ or -∞

………

.…….

we can say 0 / 0 = ∞

• Again, another analogy,

1 / 1 = 1

2/2 = 1

.……..

………..

we can say, 0/0 = 1

Now, you see it’s confusing. Every analog is mathematically correct then which one is the right answer for 0/0.  Therefore Mathematics can’t determine this fact.

So, 0/0 is indeterminate.

All except foot are parts of hand

It is given that the first digit is 1/3 of the second. There are 3 such possibilities

1)1 and 3
2)2 and 6
3)3 and 9
Now, the third digit is the sum of the first and second digits.
1)1 + 3 = 4
2)2 + 6 = 8
3)3 + 9 = 12
It is clear that option 3 is not possible. So we are left with only two options. Also, the last digit is three times the second, which rules out the second option.

Hence, the answer is 1349.

It is said by Lord Polonius.

It means do not lend or borrow money from a friend, because if you do so, you will lose both your friend and your money. If you lend, he will avoid paying back, and if you borrow you will fall out of your savings, as you turn into a spendthrift, and face humiliation.
