Answer:

117,600 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved using fundamental principle of counting , according to which , if there are m different things and n different things,

then there m*n ways to combine.

Example: if there 5 shirts and 3 ties,

then number of ways in which different combination shirt and tie can be worn is

5*3 = 15 ways.

____________________________________

In the problem,\

number of states is 50,

let those states be

A1, A2, A3, A4 ......A50

in each state there are 2 senate

Condition

3-Senator committee in which no two members are from the same state.

then

first member can be chosen from any of the 50 state,

hence first member can be chosen in 50 ways

for simplicity lets take state A1, you can choose any one you wish

second member cannot be from state A1, then number of state left = 49

second member can be chosen from  any of 49 state left

hence second member can be chosen in 49 ways

for simplicity lets take state A2,

Third member cannot be from state A1 and A2, then number of state left = 48

Third member can be chosen from  any of 48 state left

hence Third member can be chosen in 48 ways

for simplicity lets take state A3,

Hence no. of ways of choosing  3-Senator committee be formed such that no two Senators are from the same state = 50*49*48 = 117,600 ways

A small plane travels north at 240 mph. A jet leaves the same airport 30 minutes later and follows the other plane at 360 mph. H
kifflom [539]

1.

Solution here,

let the both planes covers same distance x while over taking.

For the small plane, let time be t.

speed= 240 mph

now,

distance covered by it,

x=240t--------(1)

For jet plane,let the time be t'.

speed=36mph

since it is flewed after 30 mins, it can be written as,

t'=t-30 min=t-0.5 hr

now distance covered by it,

c=360t'=360(t-0.5)=360t-180----------(2)

equating (1) and (2)

240t=360t-180

or, -120t=-180

or, t=1.5 hr

therefore two planes wiil meet after 1.5 hrs.

putting the value of t in (1)

x=240×1.5=360 m

therefore they travel through 360 m from the airport whlie over taking.

2.

For the first car,

speed=50 Kmph

let it covers x distance at time t

so,diatance x=50t--------(1)

For the second car,

speed=45 Kmph

according to the question, in time t, it will covers the distance (x-20)Km

so, distance(x-20)=45t

or, x=45t+20---------(2)

equating (1) and (2),

50t=45t+20

or, 5t=20

or, t=4 hrs.

therefore cars will be apart of 20 km after 4 hrs.

For the equation 21+3x=3x+k, which value of K will create a false equation with no solution
Nitella [24]

Answer:

OPTION B: K = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is: 21 + 3x = 3x + K

Substitute K = 3x

we get: 21 = 3x + 3x + 3x

⇒ 21 + 3x = 6x

⇒ 21 = 3x

This gives the value of x = 7. That means K = 3x gives us a solution. So, OPTION A is eliminated.

Now, K = 15

The equation becomes 21 + 3x = 3x + 15

Subtracting 3x on both the sides, we get:

⇒ 21 + 3x - 3x = 15 + 3x - 3x

⇒ 21 = 15 which can not be correct. So, K = 15 renders the equation meaningless and hence with no solution.

So, OPTION B is the answer.

Note that K = 21 will give the equation with infinitely many solutions.
