Question
The cost of diamond varies directly as the square of its
weight. A diamond broke into four pieces with weights in the ratio 1 : 3 : 4 : 6. if the loss in the total value of the diamond was Rs. 100,500. The price of the original diamond was?Solution
Let the weight of the pieces of diamond be x, 3x, 4x, 6x Total weight of diamond = x + 3x + 4x + 6x = 14x Price ∝ (weight)2 => Price = k(weight)2 ; where, K is constant Original price = k(14x)2 Price of pieces = (kx2 + 9kx2 + 16kx2 + 36kx2) = 62kx2 Loss in price = 196kx2 – 62kx2 = 134kx2 which is given as 100,500 => 134kx2 = 100500 => kx2 = 750 Original price = 196kx2 = 196 x 750 = 147000
If sin⁴ x + cos⁴ x = 5/8, then the value of sin2x is
