Given that x = 2+ 223 + 213

So x - 2 = 223 + 213

Now cubing on both sides, we get

=> x3-8-6x2+12x = 4 + 2 + 6(x-2)

Therefore, x3-6x2+6x = -6 + 8 = 2

A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself.

Factors of 5 are 1, 5

Factors of 11 are 1, 11

Factors of 21 are 1, 3, 7, 21

Factors of 37 are 1, 37.

Hence, according to the definition of a prime number, 21 is not a prime number as it has more than two factors.

Let each literature text book cost be Rs. X

Then, cost of mathematics text book = Rs. (X + 2)

ATQ,

5X = 38 + 3(X + 2)

5X = 38 + 3X + 6

2X = 44

X = 22.

Therefore, cost of each literature text book = Rs. X = Rs. 22.

And that of masthematics = X + 2 = Rs. 24.

3/8 as a Decimal :

In this we should convert the denominator into 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,... to make it simple.

Now to make 8 into 1000, we multiply numerator and denominator with 125

=> 3 x 1258 x 125 = 3751000 = 0.375

1/10 as a Decimal :

1 divided into 10 parts of each 0.1.

Therefore, 3/8 = 0.375 and 1/10 = 0.1 in decimals.

i=j/m

Given, 48 people can do a work in 17 days. So total work = 48 x 17 = 816
Work done by 48 people in 6 days = 288.

The remaining work = 816 - 288 = 528
After 6 days four workers left. So number of people working is 44
Total number of days required for 44 men to complete the remaining work = 528/44 = 12
