Answer:

A. 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent number of tables.

We have been given that to furnish a room in a model home, an interior decorator is to select 2 chairs and 2 tables from a collection of chairs and tables in a warehouse that are all different from each other. There are 5 chairs in the warehouse and if 150 different combinations are possible.

Since 2 chairs are being selected from 5 chairs, so we can choose 2 chairs in 5C2 ways.

There are n tables and we can choose 2 tables from n table in nC2 ways.

We can represent our given information in an equation as:

5C2\times nC2=150

\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}\times \frac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}=150

\frac{5*4*3!}{2*1*3!}\times \frac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}=150

10\times \frac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}=150

\frac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}=15

\frac{n!}{2*1*(n-2)!}=15

\frac{n*(n-1)*(n-2)!}{2*(n-2)!}=15

\frac{n(n-1)}{2}=15

n(n-1)=30

n^2-n=30

n^2-n-30=0

n^2-6n+5n-30=0

n(n-6)+5(n-6)=0

(n-6)(n+5)=0

(n-6)=0\text{ (or) }(n+5)=0

n=6\text{ (or) }n=-5

Since tables cannot be negative quantity, therefore, 6 tables are in the warehouse.

Answer:

We conclude that the area of the right triangle is:

A\:=p^2-2p-3

Hence, option A is correct.          

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given right-angled triangle,

  • Base = p+1
  • Perpendicular = 2p-6

Using the formula to determine the area of the right-angled triangle

Area of the right triangle A = 1/2 × Base × Perpendicular

                                            =\frac{1}{2}\left(p+1\right)\left(2p-6\right)

Factor 2p-6: 2(p-3)

                                             =\frac{\left(p+1\right)\times \:2\left(p-3\right)}{2}  

Divide the number: 2/2 = 1

                                              =\left(p+1\right)\left(p-3\right)

\mathrm{Apply\:FOIL\:method}:\quad \left(a+b\right)\left(c+d\right)=ac+ad+bc+bd

                                               =pp+p\left(-3\right)+1\cdot \:p+1\cdot \left(-3\right)

                                               =pp-3p+1\cdot \:p-1\cdot \:3

                                                =p^2-2p-3

Therefore, we conclude that the area of the right triangle is:

A\:=p^2-2p-3

Hence, option A is correct.
