(a)12
(b)8
(c)16
(d)6
Read Solution (Total 15)
-
- XYZ=256
(2Z)(2Z)Z=256
4Z^3=256
Z^3=64
Z^3=4^3
SO Z=4
AS X=2Z
X=8 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(14) No(0)
- as x=y
x=2z therefore z=x/2
put these values in equation x*x*x/2 =256
x^3= 512
x=8 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- Given x=y=2z
put this in xyz=256
therefore (2z)(2z)z=256
4z^3=256
z^3=64
z=4
therefore x=2(4)=8
The value of x is 8 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(0)
- xyz=256 and value of x n y is 2z therefore substituting in xyz
after substitution we get 4*z*z*z=256
z=4
x=2*z=2*4=8
hence option b - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- Anser is b.
X*X*X/2=256. i.e. x^3=512 i.e. x^3=8^3 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- opttion b
4z^3=256
z^3=64
z=4
then x=2*4=8 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- given that x=y=2z then we can write as x=2z,y=2z
then substitute in given condition xyz=256
4z^3=256---->z=4
x=2z=2*4=8
option 2 - 13 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- X=Y=2Z .... (1)
XYZ=256 ..... (2)
put value of X and Y From eqn (1) in equ (2)
so 2Z*2Z*Z=256
so Z=4
and X=8
ans is (b). - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Ans b) 8
2z*2z*z=256
4z^3=256
z^3=64
z=4
x=2z
x=2*4
x=8 - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- xyz=256
=>x^3=2^9
=>x=8 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 8
x.x.x/2=256
or,x=4.2=8 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- x=2z
y=2z
xyz=256
4z^3=256
z=4
x=8(Ans) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- answer (b) 8
solution:
x=y=2z ---------(1)
xyz=256 ---------(2)
put the value of x and y from 1 in eqtn 2
2z*2z*z=256
4z^3=256
z^3=256
z=4
x=2z
so x=y=8
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- condition = x=y=2z
x=y........condition(1) ; x/2=z..........condition(2) ;
given: xyz = 256
replace y,z values by x;
x*x*x/2 = 256;
x^3 = 512;
x^3 = 8^3
x=8;
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- xyz=256
(2z)(2z)z=256
4z^3=256
z^3=64
z^3=4^3
z=4
x=2z
x=2(4)
x=8 - 4 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
