just see the power of 5;
to make both sides equal, we need to have same powers of 5 on both sides. here 10 5*2; so power of 10 must be equal to power of 5

since on left side,,,you have 1/5 with power of 35.. other nos. does not mean. here both sides will be equal when both sides have 1/5 raised to power 35; so this can be done without solving as 10 = 2*5

here use (a+b)^2 = a^2 +b^2+2ab;
so (a-b)^2 = a^2 +b^2-2ab;
hence (a+b)^2 + (a-b)^2 = 4ab;
here a= x^2; b= y^2;
so expression becomes (4x^2*y^2)/xy or 4xy or 4(5-3) =8

speed for the going journey =12; return journey takes double time, mean speed becomes half, so speed here is =6; so average speed when distance for going and returning journey is same(2ab)/a+b; a= speed for going journey;( in this case = 12) b= speed for returning journey;( in this case = 6) hence a...

take 3 numbers which satisfy the given equation
here x=4; y=4; z=1 (satisfies the given equation x+y = 8z;
so average becomes (4+4+1)/3= 3 or 3(1)= 3(z)

total no. of zeros in 6! is 1;
so total no. of zeros in 6!^6! is 6!;
similarly 7!^7! has 7! zeros and so on...
hence total no. of zeros in the given expression is 6! +7! +8! +9!
this can be explained in this way
10 * 10 * 10 =1000 or 3 zeros.. mean zeros get added while we multiply the numbers

3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11(here the average is 7); when the average becomes 9 , it means you move to the two nos. to right of 3,4......cause there 2 nos. are making ur average less... cause of eliminating these two numbers( 3,4) and putting (12,13) , we are adding total of 12+13-3-4=18; which is divided am...

6! has 1 zero so total zeros in 6!^6! is 6!; 7! has 1 zero so total zeros in 7!^7! is 7! 8! has 1 zero; so total zeros in 8!^8! is 8! 9! has 1 zero so total zeros in 9!^9! is 9! hence there are total of 6!+ 7!+ 8!+ 9! has total of 6! zeros as after which it will give some no. which will be non zeros...
