4. (pie*r^2)*(2/9)
5. D
6. 1215
7. 31/3
8. 19

the first answer i have a doubt.
because as median is given as a+2 then the 4th term would be median
the total 7 no.s are (a-1, a, a+1, a+2, a+3, a+4, a+5)
now mean is given as summassion of all/total no.s
then (7a+14)/7 so mean is a+2.
and median is given as a+2.
mode can be calculated as 3M-2X
where M=median and X=Mode.
so the answer would be remain as a+2.
can you explain me how you got the answer as a? |

Well, I guess your method is correct. I happen to see in the question that A is repeating in all the numbers, so thought that A should be the mode. Nevermind, I guess your's should be correct.
By the way, how do you calculate the mode with 3X-2M?
I mean... How did you come to the answer as a+2 using this formula? |

| in question no3....if we assign values for t and y for eg 1 or -1 or even t=1 and y=-1..we get values greater to 0 but it is given the value is lesser than 0 and which means the value shoud be negative ..hence y should be greater than t ..kindly correct me if i am wrong |

rakesh
for a number to be divisible say for eg n the apply this equation for checking the divisibility of any number
n=dq+r(d=divisor,q=qoutient,r=remainder)
in the case of 8th question
k=3q+1
if we take q=1,2,3,..so we can knw the number .in this case we get k=4
so when we check with second condition given that k+1 / 5 gives r=0..
4+1=5 5/5 gives 0 remainder. |

given perimeter of triangle ADB = 15..
and BD= 6..
so AB + BD = 15-6 ==>9...
as he said parallelogram.. so sides opposite sides equal.. therefore..
total perimeter of parallelogram = 9 + 9==> 18.. |
