A rectangular box of internal base dimensions 2r, 3r and internal height 9r is filled with spheres of radius r. Find the maximum number of spheres that can be fitted into the box.

Let L be the vertical distance between the centers of two adjacent balls.

$L = \sqrt[]{[{(2 r)}^{2} - r^{2}]} = r \sqrt[]{3}$

Also, if the box can hold n sphere then (n – 1) L + 2r

≤ 9r [ the last ball height = 2r]

$(n - 1) \sqrt[]{3} r \leq 7 r$

$n \leq \frac{7}{\sqrt[]{3}} + 1$

n ≤ 5.04

Since, n is a natural number.

n = 5

So, the box can hold maximum of 5 spheres.

Answer the questions based on the following information.

Mr. John has 5 girls and 9 boys. He decides to give them a present on the occasion of Christmas. He takes 200 one-rupee coins and puts them in 2 bags which he closes. One of the bags contains more coins than the other. He asks his boys to choose one of the bags. They chose the bag with more money. When money is divided equally among boys they are left with Rs. 3. When money is divided equally among girls (not necessarily the same amount as given to boys), Rs. 4 was left. No girl gets less than a boy.

The total number of coins in the bag with fewer coins is

9B + 3 + 5G + 4 = 200 9B + 5G = 193

The positive integer solutions are (B, G) = (2, 35) (7, 25) (12, 17) (17, 8)

Only one of the (B, G) gives G > B and 9B + 3 > 100, i.e. (B, G) = (12, 17)

17 * 5 = 85

(a):Let, s be the speed of stream.

So, 8 + s = 2 (8 – s)

s = 8/3 mph

Find the coordinates of the centroid G of a triangle with vertices at (3, 7), (5, 5) and (–3, 2).

(a):Let G be (X, Y) then $X = \frac{{3 + 5 + (- 3)}}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$ $\frac{}{} \frac{}{}$

$Y = \frac{(7 + 5 + 2)}{3} = \frac{14}{3}$

$\Rightarrow G is (\frac{5}{3}, \frac{14}{3})$

The average score of 20 candidates in an exam is 25 marks. It decreases by 2 marks when the score of the topper is excluded. What are the marks obtained by the topper?

0 Follower 3 Views

Contributor-Level 10

Average score of 20 candidate = 25 marks

Total score of 20 candidate = 500 marks

Let the score of the topper be x. Then,

$\frac{(500 - x)}{19} = 23$

500 – x = 437

x = 500 – 437 = 63 marks
