Answer: 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Three postal workers can sort a stack of mail in 20 ​minutes, 30 ​minutes, and 60 ​minutes, respectively.

Let T be the time taken by all of them when they working together.

Then , we have the following equation :-

\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{1}{20}+\dfrac{1}{30}+\dfrac{1}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{3+2+1}{60}\\\\\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{T}=\dfrac{6}{60}=\dfrac{1}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow T=10

Hence, the time taken by all of them when they working together = 10 minutes.

Limit xtens to 0 x^2logx^2 what is the ans of interminate forms?
GarryVolchara [31]

Rewrite the limit as

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}x^2\log x^2=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\log x^2}{\frac1{x^2}}

Then both numerator and denominator approach infinity (with different signs, but that's not important). Applying L'Hopital's rule, we get

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\log x^2}{\frac1{x^2}}=\lim_{x\to0}\frac{\frac2x}{-\frac2{x^3}}=\lim_{x\to0}-x^2=\boxed{0}
