Question
The average age of A, B and C is 28 years, while the
average age of B, A and D is 26 years. If the ratio of the age of C and D is 5:3, respectively, then find the age of D.Solution
Sum of ages of A, B and C = 28 × 3 = 84 years Sum of ages of B, A and D = 26 × 3 = 78 years So, C – D = 84 – 78 = 6 years Let the age of C and D be 5x and 3x years, respectively. 5x – 3x = 6 2x = 6 x = 3 So, age of D = 3x = 9 years.
Simplify:
6x + 8y - [(12x + 6y) - (4x + 3y) + 2y] - 4xIf 9x2 + 16y2 = 24xy, then find the ratio of ‘x’ and ‘y’, respectively.
- Suppose [a + (1/16a)] = 3, then the value of [16a³ + (1/256a³)] is:
If, 6x + y = 20, and 2xy = 32, and 6x > y, then find the value of 216x³ – y³.
If x + 1/x = 2, find x⁷ + 1/x⁷.
(x – 6) 2 + (y + 2) 2 + (z – 4) 2 = 0, then find the value of 4x - 3y + z.
