G.C.D is nothing but H.C.F

Given numbers are 1.08 , 0.36 and 0.90

we can take as 108, 36 and 90 

Then required H.C.F is 18.

Therefore, H.C.F of given numbers is 0.18.

We know that 1 year = 365.25 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

=> 1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds

But 1 billion seconds = ?

1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds

    ?     =  1000000000 Seconds

? = 1000000000365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 years = 31. 68 years.

Qualm means feeling confused, uneasiness, very doubtful and being in worry.

From the given data,

K's profit : L's profit = 7x x 11 : 9x x 7

In a family with 2 children there are four possibilities:
1) the first child is a boy and the second child is a boy (bb)
2) the first child is a boy and the second child is a girl (bg)
3) the first child is a girl and the second child is a boy (gb)
4) the first child is a girl and the second child is a girl (gg)

But already given that one child is boy. So we have three possibilities of (bb)(bg)(gb).
n(E)= both are boys=BB=1
n(S)= 3
Required probability P = n(E)/n(S) = 1/3.

Given a secret is told to 3 persons in 3 minutes.
And if the process continues with each person saying 3 other persons,
In 30 minutes => the rocess for 10 times because each person time is 3 minutes.
Required number of persons = 3 + 32 + 33 + .... + 39 + 310

Now it forms a geometric progression,

Sum to n terms is S = arn - 1r - 1

Here a = 3, r = 3

 
=> 59048 x 3 /2

= 88572.
