Answer is option 4 (i.e) 400

x+43+17+12+3 = 100
x+75 = 100
x = 25


75% of them are delayed which is equalt to 1200

75/100 * x = 1200

x = 1600

25% are on time

25/100 * 1600 = 400

Answer) E = |X|/X If X not equal to Zero, sqrt(X^2)/ X If X = -1 sqrt(X^2)/ X = sqrt ( -1 ^ 2)/ -1 = sqrt(1)/-1 = 1/-1 = -1 If X = 1 sqrt(X^2)/ X = sqrt ( 1 ^ 2)/ 1 = sqrt(1)/1 = 1/1 = 1 So, X can be -1 or + 1 look at the answers if x = -1 => |x|/x = |-1|/-1 = 1/-1 = -1 if x = 1 => |x|/x = |1|/1 = 1...

If y > 0, which of the following is equal to sq.48y^3

Answer:
(A) 4y sq. rt. 3y


sqrt(48 * y^3)

= sqrt(16 * 3 * y ^2 * y)

= sqrt(16) * sqrt(3) * sqrt(y ^2) * sqrt(y)
= 4 * sqrt(3) * y * sqrt(y)
= 4y sqrt(3*y)

Ans) 1/15

Total number of workers = Josua + Jose + 4 = 6

2 people will be interviewed from 6

=> Total outcomes = 6C2

=> Possible outcomes that Josua and Jose are selected = 2C2

Probability = 2C2/6C2 = 1/15

No.....it is

nCr = n!/((n-r)! * r!)

5C2 = 5!/(3! * 2!)

XC2 = X!/((X-2)! * 2!)

Substitute X = 6

6C2 = 6!/((6-2)! * 2!)
