In a quiz-based program, there are three teams A, B and C. There is a total of five rounds in a game; 20 marks are given for eac

h correct answer and -10 for each wrong answer. No marks are deducted for not attempting a question. Which team won the game, if:
a. Team A gave 3 correct and 2 wrong answers?

b. Team B gave 2 correct, 2 wrong answers and they didn’t attempt one question?

c. Team C gave 3 correct, and 1 wrong answer and they didn’t attempt one question?

From the given scenarios, the positions of winning of each team is; Team C came first, Team A came second and Team B came third

<h3>How to find probability of winning?</h3>

From the question, we can derive the following;

Marks gained by team A = 3 × 20 = 60 marks

Marks deducted = 2 × 10 = 20 marks

Hence;

Total marks for Team A = 60 - 20 = 40 marks

Marks gained by team B = 2 × 20 = 40 marks

Marks deducted = 2 × 10 = 20 marks

Hence, total marks of team B = 40 - 20 = 20 marks

Marks gained by team C = 3 × 20 = 60 marks

Marks deducted = 1 × 10 = 10 marks

Hence, total marks of team C = 60 - 10 = 50 marks

Thus, we can conclude that;

Team C came first, Team A came second and Team B came third

Find the area of the shaded region.<br> help pls

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

1. 50 m

2. 80 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There are 2 triangles, subtract the area of 1 of them from the other.

The triangle that needs to be subtracted: b = 20 m, h = 10 m

A = 1/2b * h = 1/2(20) * 10 = 10*10 = 100 m

The big triangle, the one that needs to be subtracted plus the one you need to find the area of: b = 20 cm, h = 15 cm, 1/2(20) * 15 = 10 * 15 = 150

150 - 100 = 50 c

2. Divide it into 3 parts:

1- 3*4 = 12

2. 7*(4 + 4) = 7*8 = 56

3. [(4 + 4) * (13 - 7 - 3)]/2 = (8*3)/2 = 24/2 = 12

12 + 56 + 12 = 80 cm

A ladder 10 feet long rests against a vertical wall. Initially, the top of the ladder is 8 feet above the ground. If the top of

lora16 [44]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let vertical height of ladder from ground be y and

horizontal distance of the base of the ladder from the wall be x respectively.

Length of the ladder = l (constant) = 10 ft

<u>Using Pythagoras theorem</u>:

${l}^{2} = {y}^{2} + {x}^{2}$

Differentiate both sides w.r.t time

$0 = 2y \frac{dy}{dt} + 2x \frac{dx}{dt}$

$y \frac{dy}{dt} + x \frac{dx}{dt} = 0$

<u>We know that</u> (After 1 sec, y = 6 ft and x = 8 ft ; dy/dt = 2 ft/sec)

$6\times 2 + 8\frac{dx}{dt} = 0$

$\frac{dx}{dt} = - 1.5 ft \: per \: sec$

<u>( Ignore - ive sign)</u>

Therefore, bottom of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at a speed of 1.5 ft/sec one second after the ladder starts sliding.
