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.

What makes a pair linear?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180 degrees, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180 degrees.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

For a uniform distribution,

f(x) = \frac{1}{b - a} \\

where a is the minimum and b the maximum\\

cumulatively, F(x) = \frac{x - a}{b -a}

F(x >= 24.9) = \frac{24.9 - 24}{26 - 24} = \frac{0.9}{2} = 0.45
