SHORTCUT APPROACH NEEDED!!

by harsh.champ » Wed Feb 17, 2010 4:22 am
[(0.03)^2 + (0.11)^2 + (0.013)^2 ] / [ (0.003)^2 + (0.011)^2 + (0.0013)^2 ] = ?

(A) 0.01
(B)0.1
(C)1
(D)10
(E)100
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

I f u see the question carefully each term in denominator is a multiple of (0.1)^2 if we take the common out numerator and denominator becomes same.
so Ans = 1/(0.1)^2 =100 Ans E

Why don't you two just trade private messages since you two only reply to each other's threads?

Osirus I think the question was posted by harsh.champ at 5:52 pm and I replied it at 12:46 am . So You had approx 7 hrs to post the solution . If you don't post the solution someone will have to answer it...why to be so panic... I don't think question was so tough that you cannot solve it....so why to blame others..
