(#M40000927) TCS QUESTION Keep an EYE

Anoop managed to draw 7 circles of equal radii with their centres on the diagonal of a square such that the two extreme circles touch two sides of the square and each middle circle touches two circles on either side. Find the ratio of the radius of the circles to the side of the square.
1) [2+ 7sqrt(2)]:1
2) 1:[2+ 6sqrt(2)]
3) 1:[2+ 7sqrt(2)]
4) 1:(4+ 7sqrt(3)]

Solution

Let the radius of circle be r
let the side of square be a
then diagonal of square= a*sqrt(2)
This diagonal length = 12*r + 2r * sqrt(2)
(because the extreme circle's radius is perpendicular to side of square.)
Thus we get

12*r+2r*sqrt(2)=a*sqrt(2)

r(6*sqrt(2)+2)=a

r/a=1/(6*sqrt(2)+2)

Thus ratio: r:a = 1:(6*sqrt(2)+2)

Ans: 1:(6*sqrt(2)+2)
this answer is given by MUGIL VANNAN, and is right

(#M40000867) TCS QUESTION Keep an EYE

. Given a collection of points P in the plane, a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated from the rest by a line, .i.e the point lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the other side.
The number of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P). The minimum value of n1(P) over all configurations P of 5 points in the plane in general position(.i.e no three points in P lie on a line) is

a)3 b)5 c) 2 d)1

Solution

The meaning of this question is little complicated. In easy language the question should be:


There are some points in the plane. We have to make a separation between these points by forming a line in such a way that one point could be separate from the others. No 3 points are in a line. Maximum no of methods for plotting the line and minimum no of methods for plotting the line will be (arrangement of points is your choice)

Now Answer Is:

For Maximize: The number of methods, Points should be drawn in the circumference of the CIRCLE So answer would be the number of total point in the plane.

For minimize: The number of methods we should draw 3 points in a TRIANGLE and all other point inside this triangle in such a way that no 3 points could be in a line.

If it will be allowed to draw the points in a line then minimum possibilities will be 2 only, because if we take all points in a line then you can separate only the corner points from the others.

For example
If we have 10 points then maximum possibilities = 10
and minimum = 3

similarly for 5 points
Max = 5, Min = 3

for 19
max= 19 Min = 3

Susan made a block with small cubes of 8 cubic cm volume to make a block ,3 small cubes long, 9 small cubes wide and 5 small cubes deep. She realizes that she has used more small cubes than she really needed. She realized that she could have glued a fewer number of cubes together to lock like a block with same dimensions, if it were made hollow. What is the minimum number of cubes that she needs to make the block?
