The average weight of ‘b’ boys in a group is 63 kg. A boy whose weight is 147 kg joins the group such that the average weight of the group becomes a prime number in between 65 and 91. Find the value of ‘b+1’.
PQRS is a rhombus such that length of its each side is 30 cm. If PR=36 cm and QS=\(4\sqrt{x}\) cm then the length of each side of the rhombus (in terms of ‘x’) is:
Find the value of \(36(\frac{a}{2}+\frac{b}{6}+\frac{c}{3})^2\)
Given below are 3 equations I, II and III where 'a' and 'b' are the roots of equation I where (a < b) and 'c' and’d’ are roots of equation II where (c < d). On this basis, solve for equation III and find the relationship between 'z' and 'k' given that k = 11
I. 3x(x - 12) + 72 = x2 - 11x - 5
II. 5y(y - 3) - 64 = y(3y - 2) – 19
III. (z + 2a - d)2 = 169
All the vertices of a rhombus lie on a circle of radius R. If the length of one diagonal of the rhombus is D, then the area of the rhombus is:
‘A’ while working 40% more efficiently can complete a piece of work in 25 days and ‘B’ while working 25% more efficiently can complete the same work in 21 days. While working with their original efficiencies ‘A’ and ‘B’ together worked for 9 days, then find the time taken by ‘A’ alone to complete the remaining work with his original efficiency.
In triangle PQR, PM is perpendicular to QR. If ‘T’ is a point in between ‘Q’ and ‘M’ such that PT = \(5\sqrt3\) cm, PM = \(\sqrt{39}\) cm then find the value of PQ such that QM : TM = 5 : 2.
