hi arjmen thanks for the correction it makes sense to look at the solution this way
x belongs to an open interval(-1,0) and also to (1,infinity)
what is(are) the "probable" value(s) of x
percentage of those who got any one question right is say B which is 80%
since 20% got both wrong
now % of those who got 1st correct is 75%
% who got 2nd correct is 55%
80 = 75 + 55 - (% who got both correct)
50%
length n width of R in ratio 3 : 2 or 15 : 10
length n width of q in ratio 5 : 2 or 15 : 6
length of Q n R in 1 : 2 ratio so q is 30 : 12
area of Q to area of P 30 * 12 : 15* 10 or 12:5
i will go with A
since x^2 = xY
x * x = x*y
if x not zero then x = y a contradiction
now since x and y are different for any y not equal to x this equation is satisfied only if x equals zero:hmm:
eg: y = 4 , x = 0
hi there is a simple formula for this the amount of solution left is
if x litres is the original solution and y litres is removed after removing y litres for y times the amount left is
x(1- y/x)^n
30( 1- 6/30)^3 = 30(0.8)^3 = 30 * .512 = 15.36
