if JARGON is coded as 42 and EMPTY is coded as 30, then how is LOBSTER coded in that language?

A punching machine is used to punch a circular hole of diameter two units from a square sheet of aluminum of width 2 units, as shown below. The hole is punched such that circular hole touches one corner P of the square sheet and the diameter of the hole originating at P is in line with a diagonal of the square.
The proportion of the sheet area that remains after punching is:

A) (pi+2)/8
B) (6-pr)/8
C) (4-pi)/4
D) (pi-2)/4
E) (14-3pi)/6

old question

answer B) (6-pi)/8
@catter2011 56

JARGON-- 6 characters -- 6*7
EMPTY -- 5 charcters -- 5*6
LOBSTER -- 7 characters -- 7*8 = 56 = n*(n+1)

old question answer A) (pi+2)/8
Mai new hu first time dunga cat, approach batao.

sahi hein..

dude.. area remaining is B, but area cut is A... edited my soln.. check it




happy diwali bhai logon...........sach mein pagal hai hum log bomb fod rah ehain aur hum quant ke bomb fus karne mein lage hue hai

answer is [-2,2]

answer is [3,5]
its wrong

dat circle was just mis placed.. put it inside the square.. it fits exactly..
then ratio of area's of circle and square ll be pi/4

hope you got a view.. but actually area cut was not full circle. its

2+ ((pi-2)/4)*2 => (2+pi)/2

ratio of area remained =>( 4- (2+pi)/2 )/4 => 6-pi/8

its wrong
i misread the answer.. putting up the correct answer..

The distance of point P(x,y,z) from the origin is sqrt(62) units, then find the coordinates of point P.
X: x+y+z=12
Y: x,y, and z are positive integers.

A) can be answered by A alone
B) by B alone
C) by either of statement
D) by none
E) by using both

range of |x-5|-|x-3|

These questions are solved like this or is there any other method other than values substitution?

x>5
(x-5)-(x-3)=-2
x(-x+5)-(-x+3)=2
3(-x+5)-(x-3)=-2x-8
Am I doing right?
