Soln: Assume - 12w = 3x = 4y = 12 => w = 1; x = 4; y = 3 Side of square = w+x = 5 = 2w + y there are four triangles: Area T1 = 1/2*w*x = 1/2*1*4 = 2 Area T2 = 1/2*w*x = 1/2*1*4 = 2 Area T3 = 1/2*x*y = 1/2*4*3 = 6 Area T4 = 1/2*w*2w = 1/2*1*2*1 = 1 Total area of triangles = AT1 + AT2 + AT3 + AT4 = 11...

Soln: 3 red, 4 black and 2 white total 9 balls the first one can be either a red or a white thus p(R1) = 3/9 and p(W1) = 2/9 since the balls are replaced, the second one can be either a white or red thus p(W2) = 2/9 and p(R2) = 3/9 thus probability to draw either a red or white ball = p(R1)*p(W2) + ...

Principle of componendo: a/b = c/d => a+b/b = c+d/d Principle of dividendo: a/b = c/d => a-b/b = c-d/d and in ratios & proportions: a:b :: c:d product of means = product of extremes => a*d = b*c and GMAT tries to test on such things which actually are ver...

Componendo & Dividendo Principle

Hi,

We have been given
B) (m + x) / (r + y) = x / y
and we have to check if m/r = x/y

Soln: We can write
m/r = x/y
=> m/x = r/y
=> m+x/x = r+y/y (Principle of componendo)
=> m+x/r+y = x/y - same as B

Hence proced mathematically
