Re: 500 ds

Ans is B I'll explain... Let the height of point B is h and the point is H. Let the length of seesaw ie AC is 2d.. Now draw perpendicular lines to ground from point B and C. Let they intersect at ground at D ( from Point B) & E(point C). Now we will get two similar triangles.. ie ABD and ACE.. w...

Re: 500 ds test4 #20

No need to calculate the value of k. we can approach the question in a different way 1) k - 1/k =1 multiply with k gives k^2 - 1 =k now rearraange K^2-k =1 >>Ans Now take case 2) 2k-1 = root5 Square the equation ie (2k-1)^2 =5 i.e. 4k^2-4k+1=5 4k^2-4k-4=0 (after re-arranging) Divide by 4 >> k^2-k-1=...
