As in, I thought we would get 6 different combinations of 14 127, 172, 217,271,712 and 721 Now, from one, we can say that K will be one among -> 127, 217,271 and 721 From two, we can say that K will be one among -> 127, 172,217 and 271. Combining both,...

Formula that can be used here is Total = Group 1(History) + Group 2(Science) - Both + Neither When a value for Neither is not given, we can assume it as 0. So, Total = Group 1(History) + Group 2(Science) - Both + 0 We can find the value of Both, had we known the total number of students in the class.

If the remainder of a number divided by 10 has to be 0, then the number has to be zero.. which means the value of 3^x + 1 must end with 0..or which means the value of 3^x must end with 9. So, we should know the cyclicity of number 3 which is 4. If you note the series, u can see that i...

if you observe carefully you will notice that this of the form a+b and a-b So your first step should be to re-write the numbers in a+b form 9 +sqRt(80) = 9 + SqRoot(4x20) = 9 + 2SqRoot(20) Now this of the form (a^2) +(b^2) +2ab where (a^2) +(b^2) = 9 and ab = SqRoot(20) 9 + 2SqRoot(20) is therefore...
