The two adjacent sides of a quadrilateral are 6 cm and 8 cm long.

What is the ma ximum possible area of the quadrilateral (in sq cm) if it is inscribed in a circ le of radius 5 cm? a: 45 b:48 c: 49 d: 50 how many integral solutions are possible for the equation |y-18|+|y-9|+|y+9|+|y+ 18|=54 ? The critical points are: -18,-9,9,18 Case 1: y <= -18 => -4y = 54 => Not an interger Case 2: -18< y <= -9 => 18 - y + 9 - y - y - 9 + y+18 = 54 => -2y = -18 => y = -9 satisfies Case 3: -9 < y <= 9 => 18 - y + 9 - y + y + 9 + y + 18 = 54 => 54 = 54 => It satisfies for each value lying in this range Case 4: 9 < y <= 18 => 2y = 18 => y = 9 satisfies Case 5: y > 18 => 4y = 54 => Not an integer So, the equation is satisfied for all integral values of y lying in [-9,9] => 19 integral values of y Anuj and agraj walk up an escalator,which moves up at a constant speed . anuj cl imbs 5 steps for every 3 that agraj climbs. anuj gets to the top of the escalato r in twenty-five steps,while agraj(his slower pace lets the escalator do a littl e more work)takes only 18 steps to reach the top. in how many steps would anuj r each the bottom from top,on same escalator if he doubles his speed while returni ng? a.60 b.120 c.200 d.He can never reach bottom Let speed of Anuj = 5 steps/sec Let speed of Agraj = 3 steps per sec Let speed of escalator = a steps per sec => 25 + 5a = 18 + 6a a=sec-> 25 steps at steps/s => a = 7 ** 5 in 5 6

in 6a=sec 18 steps at 3 steps/s Total steps = 25+5a = 60 steps Now speed of Anuj = 10 steps per sec 60 = 10*t - t*7 => t = 20 sec Steps taken = 20*10 = 200 Steps

If p,q and r are three real numbers such that p+q+r=4 and p^2+q^2+r^2=6, then wh at can be the maximum value of q? 1] 1 2] 2/3 3] 4 4] NOT We have: p^2 + q^2 + r^2 = 6 => p^2 + q^2 + (4 - p - q)^2 = 6 => p^2 + q^2 + 16 + p^2 + q^2 + 2*(-4p - 4q + pq) = 6 => 2p^2 + 2q^2 + 16 - 8p - 8q + 2pq = 6 => p^2 + q^2 - 4p - 4q + pq + 5 = 0 => p^2 + p*(q - 4) + (q^2 - 4q + 5) = 0 For p to be real: (q-4)^2 >= 4*(q^2 - 4q +5) => => => => q^2 + 16 - 8q >= 4q^2 - 16q + 20 3q^2 - 8q + 4 <=0 3q^2 - 6q - 2q + 4 <= 0 (q - 2)*(3q - 2) <=0

=> 2/3 <= q <= 2 => Maximum value of q = 2
