                                                               Father           Son

5years ago the age of the father & son           5X                X

present the age of the father & son              5X+5             X+5

(present age of father) + (present age of son) = 70

       (5x+5)                 +        (x+5)              = 70

 Then you will get X = 10

Present age of the son (x+5) = 15

Day after tomorrow is Saturday. So, today is thursday, then yesterday was wednasday and 3 days before wednasday was sunday.

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.

From the given data,

let the length, breadth and height of the cuboid are m, n, r

m x n = 12

n x r = 20

r x m = 15

Hence, m x n x n x r x r x m = 12 x 20 x 15

mnr = sqrt of (12x20x15) = 60 cub.cm.
