- 7^173: for unit digit we xpress d nmbr as a nmbr having 1 in its unit place. so 7^173= (7^4)^43*7= (2401)^43*7=.....01*7=...07. So unit digit:7

- 4> Shortcut formula is
Average speed= (2*upstream speed*downstream speed)/(upstream speed + downstream speed)
So, ans will be (2*24*36)/(24+36)=28.8 miles/hr - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(25) No(1)
- 2.train will meet after one hour.
hence distance covered by the fly=18*[24/(12+12)]=18miles ans. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(20) No(4)
- 3. Let the radius of the sphere be r.
∴ Volume of the sphere 4/3*pi*r^3
Now, the radius is increased by 10%.
∴ New radius of the sphere r+ 10/100*r=11/10r
∴ New volume of the sphere 4/3*pi*(11/10r)^3=4/3(1331/1000)*pi*r^3
∴ Percentage increase in volume= (4/3*pi*r^3(1331/1000-1))/(4/3*pi*r^3)*100
=331/1000*100
=33.1
Thus, the percentage increase in the volume of the sphere is 33.1%.

- For 7^173, there is a thumb rule:
7^1=7
7^2=49
7^3=343
7^4=2401
7^5=16807
7^6=117649
.....
So,the series is oscillating after 4th power producing the same unit digit.
Hence we have to divide the power 173/4 and the remainder is 1.
so,7^1=7
hence 7^173 produces unit digit 7.
REMEMBER, in case of dividing a power by 4,no remainder means it's 4,not 0. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(17) No(0)
- 6) total milk =1/3 + 1/4 =7/12
total water = 2/3 + 3/4 = 17/12
total milk =1/3 + 1/4 =7/12
total water = 2/3 + 3/4 = 17/12
vol = 2
so % of milk =(7/12/2)*100=175/6

- 1> 7^173= 7^(4*43+1)=7*7^(4*43)===== unit place== 7
2> trains will take total 24/(12+12)hr= 1 hr to collide.. so bee will fly 18 mile.. ans..
3>beffore increase , v1= 4/3pi.r^3.. after increase, v2= 4/3 pi. r^3(1+1/10)^3
so , increase= {(1+1/10)^3 - 1)*100%= (11^3- 10^)*100%/10^=11.1% ans.
4. avg speed= (24-36)/2 = -4== 4km/hr downhill.. (take positive as uphill)ans..
5> let vol of glasses be x each. so milk= x/3 + x/4= 7x/12.. percentage= 7x*100/(12*2x)=29.16% ans.
8> let boys birth= AAXX year. so age= 1930-AAXX= xx so , 30-XX= XX... similarly , for grand father , 30+(100- YY)= YY. so , (30-XX)+(130-YY)= xx+YY so , 2(xx+yy)= 160... so sum off age== XX+ YY= 80....!!!!!!
10> dont consider the no off pairs. as in blue socks , all of 4 lefft leg socks r similar , and all off 4 right leg socks r similar.. so from blue socks , u can choose one sock in 2 ways. either right , or left.. and same thing for others... so u can choose different socks in such way-- BW + BR + RW = 2*2+ 2*2+ 2*2= 12 ways.. ans..
11> 2 men can born in 12* 12 ways. if the born in same month, then they can born in 12 way.. so prob= 12/(12*12)== 1/12.. ans.
12> diagonal= 14root2.. so length of each rope= 14*root2/2=7 root2. so
area= 2* pi/4 (7root2)^2
13> same point... point A...

- (1).7^173
Unit digit
7^1=7(unit digit)
7^2=-9(unit digit)
7^3=--3(unit digit)
7^4=--1(unit digit)
after each 4 cycle the value of unit digit is repeated
so
173%4=1
then
7^1=7

- 4. its answer is 28.8 km/hr.The formula to calculate average speed is TOTAL DISTANCE/TOTAL TIME
so let the distance from bottom to top be x.
time taken to go up=x/24
time taken to return back=x/36
so average speed = total distance/toatl time=2x/((x/24)+(x/36))=28.8 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(3)

- 11.We know area of square=(1/2)*(diagonal)^2 .So diagonal=Root2*side.
Now this side is diameter of rope.
hence ropeLength=14Root2/2=7Root2.
