This is a quadratic equation. To find n we multiply the last terms in each bracket together (2 times -5) = -10
To find ‘a’ we multiply the first terms in each bracket together (3x times 2x) = 6x2, So a = 6.
Thus a - n = 16
To find k we multiply the first term in the first bracket by the second term in the second bracket and add the result to the product of the second term in the first bracket and the first term in the second. (-15x + 4x) = -11x. So k = -11
The salaries of A, B, and C are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. The salary of B and C together is Rs. 6000. By what percent is the salary of C more than that of A?
A sum of money lent at compound interest for 2 years at 20% per annum would fetch Rs.482 more, if the interest was payable half yearly than if it was payable annually . The sum is
