Answer:

The answer is B. 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for N = 1 and N = 2, none of them are divisible by 3.

For N = 3, 33.33% are divisible by 3. For N = 4, 25% (which is already less than 30%), so N = 5 would also be less.

At N = 6, we're back up to 33.33%. N = 7 is already less than 30%.

At N = 9, you guessed it, 33.33%. N = 10 is 30% (3, 6, and 9). So we have one case.

Moving along, at N = 18, 33.33%. N = 20 is again 30% (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18). Two cases now.

Finally, at N = 21, again 33.33%. N = 22 and N = 23 are both greater than 30%. As we continue this, for any N after 20, we will always be greater than 30%.

Answer:

Part (A) The required volume of the column is $s^2h$ .

Part (B) The volume be $s^2h=\frac{s^2h}{2}+\frac{s^2h}{2}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the we have a square with side length "s" lies in a plane perpendicular to a line L.

Also One vertex of the square lies on L.

Part (A)

Suppose there is a square piece of a paper which is attached with a wire through one corner. As you blow it up it spins around on the wire.

This square moves a distance h along L, and generate a corkscrew-like column with square.

The cross section will remain the same.

So the cross section area of original column and the cross section area of twisted column at each point will be the same.

The volume of the column is the area of square times the height.

This can be written as:

$s^2h$

Hence, the required volume of the column is $s^2h$ .

Part (B) What will the volume be if the square turns twice instead of once?

If the square turns twice instead of once then the volume will remains the same but divide the volume into two equal part.

$s^2h=\frac{s^2h}{2}+\frac{s^2h}{2}$

Hence, the volume be $s^2h=\frac{s^2h}{2}+\frac{s^2h}{2}$ .
