...Bhai apart from CS theorem , there is 1 more method suggetd by @wovfactorAPS that the min value is the square the foot of the perpendicular from the origin to the given line ..

welll, for a method other than cauchy-schwartzthe min value is the square the foot of the perpendicular from the origin to the given line ..

@wovfactorAPS iska bhi graphical approach bata dijiye

Two points A and B are selected on a straight line segment of length 10cm. What is the probability that length(AB)>4cm .
1)5/24
2)9/25
3)3/8
4)4/15

Given that w, x, y and z are natural numbers such that 4w = xyz, 4x = wyz and 4z = wxy. Which of the following is a possible value of (w + x + y 창€“ z)^2?

Bhai iska soln mere paas the...abhi chk kiya
Draw a square of coordinates (0,0) (10,0) (0,10) (10,10)
so the triangle having coordinates (0,4) (0,10) (6,10) and (10,0) (4,0) (10,6) will consists of region when AB>4 => area of triangles=36
sample space=area of sq=100
Req P=36/100=9/25

y=4,w=x=z=1,so value will be 25

soln -

we get w=x=z first and from that we get wy=4.
then as w and y are not equal so w=4 and y =1.
now (w+x+y - z)^2 = (w+y)^2 = 5^2 = 25


Ps- Attendence kaafi low hai

36 ?

4w + 4x = yz(w + x) -> yz = 4 as (w+x) cannot be 0
similarly, xy = 4, and wy = 4

One possible value of x,y,z,w = 2,2,2,2

(w+ x+ y-z)^2 = 6^2 = 36 ?

The length, breadth and height of a cuboid are given by unique linear functions L(x), B(x) and H(x) respectively (Here, 'x' is a real number). The volume of this cuboid is given by the cubic function V(x) = – x^3 – 4x^2 + 31x + 70. Which of the following values of 'x' is permissible?
(1) 7 (2) – 3 (3) – 8 (4) 6 (5) 4

Why w and y are not equal ?

Sum of the numbers = 7

At each stage, 2 is added to the sum => sum is of the form 7 + 2k

Now, for all to be equal at some stage, sum should be of the form (4m)

So, 7 + 2k = 4m -> Not possible as RHS is even, and LHS is odd.

to make all the numbers equal to N(Say), we have to increase them by odd no (sum total) which is not divisible by 2.so option D

y is common so take it as 4 so rest wud be 1 each
5^2 = 25
