close to the answer sir
The equation is a quadratic in two variables x and y Factorise the left hand side: x^2 - xy - 6y^2 = 0 (x^2 - 3xy)+ (2xy - 6y^2) = 0 x(x - 3y) +2y(x - 3y) = 0 (x + 2y)(x - 3y) = 0 From (i) x = 3y i.e x/y = 3 and from (ii) x = -2y i.e. x/y = -2 The values of x/y are 3 and -2.

ohh...thanks

Samsonyte:

pls show your workings

x^2-xy-6y^2=0,multiplying 1st and last term gives me -6(xy)^2.so factors are 2xy and-3xy...substituting these values for -xy, I got x2+2xy-3xy-6y2=0...factorizing gives me (x-3y)(x+2y)=0...going for x-3y=0,x=3y and x/y gives me 3...I hope I am right...

1. If the equations ax + by = -4 and bx + ay = 1 are satisfied by x= 1, y = 2, find the value of a and b.

2. The line whose equation is ax + by = 7 passes through the points with coordinates (-2, -1) and (-1, -3). Find the values of a and b. [Hint: substitute the given values of x and y to obtain twi simultaneous equations.]

3. Show that the equations ax + by = c and px + qy = r will have no solution if aq = bp.

1. a=2, b=-3 2. a=-14/5 b=-7 /5

Lolz

bro, the answer...I dont think its David, it may be either God or stone...does anyone know the answer??

Haaaaaaahhaaaaaaaa.

You will ware out your brain and waste your time cramming all the words in the dictionary.

UI synonym and antonyms questions are always very simple. They are not big Grammars.

You can refer to UI practice question for sample. E.g pessimistic, tyrant, optimistic, wade, avalanche, unprecedented etc.

These are samples of the simple words they asked in the past Putme.

Just practice with your jamb series adequately, and try to learn new words.

Note- No candidates can beat their chest for 100% mark in synonyms and antonyms.

Bro pes 13, If I may ask,what is the answer to the david stone question...av been thinking about it all day.

Samsonyte:
correct bro but no2 is incorrect
Solution to no2
2√3 - 1 / 1 + 3√3 x 1 - 3√3 / 1 - 3√3
2√3 - 6√9 - 1 + 3√3 / 1 - 3√3 + 3√3 - 9√9
2√3 - 18 + 1 + 3√3 / 1 - 27
2√3 + 3√3 - 17 / -26
5√3 - 17 / -26
-5√3/26 + 17/26
a + b√3 = -5√3/26 + 17/26√3
a = -5√3/26
b = 17/26.

okay sir...I wasn't sure of where the division sign was tho...Thanks

Mechanics96:



The 2 people(couple) are taken as 1, since they cannot be separated in the course of the arrangement. Therefore, (5-1) people are to be arranged. That is 4! But the two people can be interchanged ( arranged) in 2! Ways
That makes it 4! × 2! = 48ways

cool method.appreciated sir

lordbeans:


Let us assume the married couple to be CD and the rest people to be X. So the possible arrangements are

CDXXX
XCDXX
XXCDX
XXXCD.

4 arrangement of which in each arrangement you have 3!(6) ways . In total 24 ways. But you can also swap the couple
so that D comes before C

DCXXX
XDCXX
XXDCX
XXXDC.

which is another 24 ways, making the total to be 48 ways.

Ans 48 ways.

Thanks sir
