Answer:

C (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

C has the same x coordinate as A = 2

that eliminates A and B.

and the y value of C has to be closer to the y value of B than to the y value of A (due to the 5:3 ratio).

so, without spending unnecessary effort on actual calculation, we can directly derive the correct answer to be C.

but to show in numbers, the "coordinate triangle" of the difference between D and B is a similar triangle to ACD. and so, the ratio of one side pair applies then to all other sides too. including the individual coordinate differences.

so, also the y difference of A to D relates to the y difference between D and B in the same ratio of 5:3 of the overall y difference of A to B.

the y difference A to B is 2 - -6 = 8

the 5/3 split of 8 units is actually 5 and 3.

so, the y coordinate of D is -6 + 5 = -1

and C must have the same y coordinate.

therefore, it is proven that answer C (2, -1) is the right answer.

Two gongs strike at intervals of 24 and 40minutes respectively. At twist time will they strike together again if they start simu
solmaris [256]

Answer:

They will sound together at 2pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, the first thing we need to calculate is , in how many minutes will the two gongs strike together.

To be able to do this, we need to calculate the least common multiple of the two numbers 24 and 40

The lowest common multiple between both is 120

This means that the two gongs will sound together at exactly 120 minutes

Now since 1 hour is 60 minutes, this means that 120 minutes will be = 120/60 = 2 hours

Since they both sounded together at 12 noon and the next time they will be sounding is next two hours, their sounding time will thus be 12 noon + 2 hours = 2 pm
