The difference between a positive proper fraction and its reciprocal is 9/20. The fraction is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the required fraction be x. Then | 1 | - x = | 9 |
x | 20 |
![]() |
1 - x2 | = | 9 |
x | 20 |
20 - 20x2 = 9x
20x2 + 9x - 20 = 0
20x2 + 25x - 16x - 20 = 0
5x(4x + 5) - 4(4x + 5) = 0
(4x + 5)(5x - 4) = 0
x = | 4 |

On dividing a number by 56, we get 29 as remainder. On dividing the same number by 8, what will be the remainder ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Formula: (Divisor*Quotient) + Remainder = Dividend.
Soln:
(56*Q)+29 = D -------(1)
D%8 = R -------------(2)
From equation(2),
((56*Q)+29)%8 = R.
=> Assume Q = 1.
=> (56+29)%8 = R.
=> 85%8 = R
=> 5 = R.

Answer: Option
Explanation:
107 x 107 + 93 x 93 | = (107)2 + (93)2 |
= (100 + 7)2 + (100 - 7)2 | |
= 2 x [(100)2 + 72] [Ref: (a + b)2 + (a - b)2 = 2(a2 + b2)] | |
= 20098 |
