Any clues about this guys?

It helps to roughly plot this line on the graph by plugging values

For eg :

when x= 0 y = 0
when x= 10 y = 1
when x= -10 y = -1
and so on...

The line passes through quands 1 and 3

Quandrants 2 and 4 DO NOT contain any points on the line x=10y

What is the OA?

IMO - OA - E

St. Deviation is the amount of spread from the mean.
Mean of A = 70
Mean of B = 0
Mean of C = 40

Since a new number 100 is getting added...it would cause the spread to increase the greatest in Set B and the smallest in Set A.

Unit's digit

What is the units digit of (17)^12−(1973)^9?

0
2
4
6
8

OA = 2

The unit's digit of the first term will be 1
and the unit's digit of the second term will be 3 .

1- 3 = > 11 (Assuming carry over ) - 3 = 8

Can any expert explain how this is incorrect?

Function F(x) is defined as follows: if x is positive or 0 then F(x)=1-x; if x is negative then F(x)=x-1. Which of the following is true about F(x)? I. F(|x|)=|F(x)| II. F(x)=F(-x) III. |F(x+1)|=|x| For III - If we solve with x= 0 , the equation holds Left side of eq - |F(0+1)| = |F(1)| = |1-1| = 0...
