Consider three classes A, B and C with 20, 30 and 50 students respectively. The averages score in maths of students in class B is 16 more than that of those in class C and the average score of those in class A is 2 more than the overall average of scores in A, B and C. What is the difference between average of class C and class A?

Read Solution (Total 1)

avg in class c=x
avg in class b=x+16
avg in class a=y
now acc to the condition given the overall avg of all classes={20y+30(x+16)+50x}/100
then acc to condition in last statement,
y={{20y+30(x+16)+50x}/100}+2
(y-2)100=20y+30x+480+50x
100y-200=80x+20y+480
80y-80x=680
y-x=8.5

Sum of first 25 terms in AP is 525, sum of the next 25 terms is 725, what is the common difference? All algorithms discussed in this chapter for determining the minimum spanning tree

have one thing in common:
they start building the tree from the beginning and they add new edges to the structure, which eventually becomes such a tree. However, we can go in the opposite direction and build this tree by successively removing edges to break cycles in the graph until no circuit is left. In this way, the graph turns into the tree. The edges chosen for removal should be the edges of maximum weight among those that can break any cycle in the tree (for example, Dijkstra’s method). This algorithm somewhat resembles the Kruskal method, but because it works in the opposite direction, it can be called a Kruskal method à rebours. Use this approach to find the minimum spanning tree for the graph of distances between at least a dozen cities
