Question:

In some code, letters a, b, c, d and e represent numbers 2, 4, 5, 6 and 10. We just do not know which letter represents which number. Consider the following relationships:

a + c = e,

b – d = d and

e + a = b

Which of the following statements is true?

(A) b = 4, d = 2

(B) a = 4, e = 6

(C) b = 6, e = 2

(D) a = 4, c = 6

Answer:

(B) a = 4, e = 6 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

(A) b = 4, d = 2

a + c = e => a + c = e

b – d = d => 4 - 2 = 2

e + a = b => e + a = 4

We are not able to find out what will be at place of a , c , e by which all other relationships are not getting satisfied. And if we apply numbers by hit and trial they are not getting satisfied.

(B) a = 4, e = 6

a + c = e => 4 + c = 6 => 4 + 2 = 6

b – d = d => b - d = d => 10 - 5 = 5

e + a = b => 6 + 4 = 10

We were able to find all a , b , c , d , e and it satisfies all relationships given.

(C) b = 6, e = 2

a + c = e => a + c = 2

b – d = d => 6 - d = d

e + a = b => e + a = 6

We are not able to find out what will be at place of a , c , d by which all other relationships are not getting satisfied. And if we apply numbers by hit and trial they are not getting satisfied.

(D) a = 4, c = 6

a + c = e => 4 + 6 = 10

b – d = d => b - d = d

e + a = b => e + 4 = b => 10 + 4 = 14(this is not from the numbers as given in question so b can't be equal to 14)

We got stuck at the value of b which was 14 and not given in question so, we can leave this option in between as it is not satisfying the relationships.

Therefore, (B) a = 4, e = 6 is the correct answer.

50 POINTS FOR THIS 1 QUESTION I JUST NEED THE ANSWER
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

a = 3

b = 2

c = 0

d = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Form 4 equations and solve simultaneously

28 = a(2)³ + b(2)² + c(2) + d

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)

-5 = -a + b - c + d (2)

220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)

-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d (4)

(1) + (4)

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d

-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d

8 = 8b + 2d

d = 4 - 4b

Equation (2)

c = -a + b + d + 5

c = -a + b + 4 - 4b+ 5

c = -a - 3b + 9

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)

28 = 8a + 4b + 2(-a - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b

28 = 6a - 6b + 22

6a - 6b = 6

a - b = 1

a = b + 1

220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)

220 = 64(b + 1) + 16b + 4(-b - 1 - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b

220 = 60b + 100

60b = 120

b = 2

a = 2 + 1

a = 3

c = -3 - 3(2) + 9

c = 0

d = 4 - 4(2)

d = -4
