The only gem of world made of a single element is Diamond.

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.

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.

Let the present ages of Kapil and Avanthi be K & A

Given difference in their ages = K - A = 9 years ...........(1)

After 7 years, K + 7 =  2(A + 7) ......(2)

K + 7 = 2A + 14

K - 2A = 7 ............(3)

K - A = 9 ....(1)

From (1) & (3),

-A = -2

=> A = 2 years

=> K = 9 + 2 = 11 years

Required, age of Kapil after 4 years = 11 + 4 = 15 years.

Consigner is the person who is the owner of the goods and who delivers the goods to others(consignee) Whereas Consignee is the person who receives the goods and just holds the goods and will not be the owner.

Let the marked price of the router be Rs. P

From the given data,

$$\begin{gathered} P x 85100 - P x 80100 = 51 \\ P x 5100 = 51 \\ ⇒ P = 51005 = 1020 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the original marked price of the router is Rs. 1020.

Let the slower pipe alone fill the tank in x min.

Then, faster pipe will fill it in x/3 min.

1/x + 3/x = 1/36
