1) given not hitting either of them so
1/3+3/7=17/21
2)t^2-2y<0
t(t-y)<0
so t<0 and t-y<0
so t<0 and t<y
so ans is (D)
3)D
4)
easy to solve this
ak=1/k-1/(k+1)
place values of k=1,2,3....till 100
u will get
1-1/2+1/2-1/3+1/3+.....-1/99+1/99-1/100
1-1/100=100/101
5) 52 mins
6) i think ( C ) is the ans
colA ::: A-C= 2x+y
col B:::; 2x+y |
