Answer:
First set is 3,4 and 5
Second set is 1,2 and 3

Explanation:
Assume that the smallest number is n.
Since the three numbers are consecutive, this means that the other two numbers would be n+1 and n+2

Now, we know that the product of the larger two numbers is 1 less tan than 7 times the smallest.
This means that: 
(n+1)(n+2) = 7n - 1 .........> equation used to find the sets
n² + 2n + n + 2 = 7n - 1
n² + 3n + 2 = 7n - 1
n² + 3n + 2 - 7n + 1 = 0
n² - 4n + 3 = 0
(n-3)(n-1) = 0
This means that:
either n-3=0 ..........> n = 3
or n-1=0 ..........> n = 1

At n = 3:
The three numbers would be 3,4 and 5

At n = 1:
The three numbers would be 1,2 and 3

Hope this helps :)

(G)-->Iron and steel industry is called a heavy industry because all the raw material as well as finished goods are heavy and bulky entailing heavy transportation costs. Iron ore, coking coal and limestone are required in the ratio of 4:2:1 approximately. Some quantity of manganese is also required to harden the steel.

(H)-->Sodium is very reactive in nature. When exposed in air, it automatically forms Na2O. When it is put in water it reacts vigorously and starts burning on water. Due to the above reasons Sodium is called an active metal.

(I)-->Down the group, the effective nuclear charge experienced by valence electrons is decreasing because the outermost electrons are far away from the nucleus. Thus, these electrons can be lost easily by the element to form positive ions. Hence, the chemical reactivity of metals increases on going down a group.

(J)-->While moving from top to bottom in a group of the periodic table, the reactivity of non- metals decreases. While moving from top to bottom in a group of non- metals, the atomic size increases with the additional number of shells and the force of attraction between the nucleus and valence shell decreases.

A 120 resistor a 60 ohm resistor and a 40 ohm resistor are connected in parallel to a 120 volt power source. what is the current
larisa [96]

Answer:

6 A

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The three resistors are connected in parallel, so their equivalent resistance is given by:

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}=\frac{1}{120 \Omega}+\frac{1}{60 \Omega}+\frac{1}{40 \Omega}=\frac{3+2+1}{120 \Omega}=\frac{6}{120 \Omega}\\R_T = \frac{120}{6} \Omega

And now we can use Ohm's law to find the current in the circuit:

V=R_T II=\frac{V}{R_T}=\frac{120 V}{\frac{120}{6}\Omega}=6 A
