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.

uranmaximum [27]

Answer: The interquartile range is preferred when the data are skewed or have outliers. An advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The interquartile range are resistant to outliers and can be used for data having glaring outliers.

Outliers are values that are too far away from the central value.

Interquartile range is a better option than standard deviation when there are a few extreme values and the distribution is skwed.

21÷xy=? With x=-3 y=2​
Vsevolod [243]
Plug in the numbers so it will turn out as 21. Divided by 3(2) . You know that if 2 numbers are close by each other than you are going to multiply so 3 times 2 = 6 , then you do 21 divided by 6 = 3.5

The answer = 3.5

The base of a triangle is fixed at 2.218 millimeters. Determine the number of
harina [27]

When the base of a triangle is fixed at 2.218 millimeters, the area will be 0.1098 mm².

<h3>What will the area be?</h3>

It should be noted that the area of a triangle is calculated as:

Area of triangle = (1/2)×base×height

= (1/2) × 2.218 mm × 0.099 mm

= 1.109 mm × 0.099 mm

= 0.109791 mm²

≈ 0.1098 mm²

Therefore, the <em>area</em> is 0.1098 mm².
