Q:

The expression of 5008 km in scientific notation is

A) 50.08 x 10^3 kms B) 5.008 x 10^-3 kms
C) 5.008 x 10^3 kms D) 500.8 x 10^3 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5.008 x 10^3 kms

Explanation:

We know that, any decimal number when multiplied by the multiples of 10, the decimal point moves to right the number of zeroes in the multiplying number.

 

For example :: 

0.0410 x 100 = 4.10 (Number of zeros in 100 are 2. So, the decimal point in 0.0410 moves two places to the right and becomes 4.10.)

 

Similarly, here in the option C) 5.008 x 10^3 kms it makes 5008 kms as the number of zeros in 10^3  i.e,  1000 are 3 and 5.008 becomes 5008.

13 12 5
17 15 8
25 24 ?

29

21 20

A) 7 B) 9
C) 11 D) 15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 7

Explanation:

 Clearly, (3rd column)2 + (2nd column)2 = (1st column)2
In the first row, 52 + 122 = 132.
In the second row, 82 + 152 = 172.
Let the missing number in the third row be y.
Then y2 + 242 = 252 or y2 + 576 = 625 or y2 = 49 or y = 7.

Q:

What is 7 + 7 ÷ 7 + 7 × 7 - 7 =

A) 0 B) 42
C) 50 D) 57
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 50

Explanation:

Given 7 + 7/7 + 7 x 7 - 7

By using BODMAS rule,

7 + 1 + 7 x 7 - 7

= 8 + 49 - 7

= 57 - 7

= 50.

 

Hence 7 + 7/7 + 7 x 7 - 7 = 50.

Q:

a2 + b2 + c2 -ab- bc - ca = 0, iff

A) abc = -1 B) a = b = c
C) abc = 1 D) abc = 0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) a = b = c

Explanation:

Here given formula is 

a2 + b2 + c2 -ab- bc - ca = 0

and it is possible if and only if a = b = c.

From the trial and error method, 

1) Let a = b = c = 1

Now substitute these values of a, b, c in the above formula.

We get 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 = 3 - 3 = 0

 

2) Now, let a = b = c = 4

Now substitute these values of a, b, c in the above formula.

We get 16 + 16 + 16 - 16 - 16 - 16 = 48 - 48 = 0.

 

Hence, it is possible that 

a2 + b2 + c2 -ab- bc - ca = 0 iff  a = b = c.
