The cost of a pen and a pencil used to be the same, but recently the cost of the pen was increased by ₹4, whereas, the cost of p

encil became ₹6 less than 5 times its original value. After the revised cost, if the pen was more expensive than the pencil, what could have been the possible original value of both the products, if the initial price was a natural number?

Answer:

The possible original values of both products are ₹2 or ₹1

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is a word problem leading to simultaneous equations

Let 'x' represent the initial value of the pen and pencil

Therefore;

The final cost of the pen = x + ₹4

The final cost of the pencil = 5·x - ₹6

x + ₹4 > 5·x - ₹6

∴  ₹4 + ₹6 > 5·x - x

₹10 > 4x

₹10/4 > x

₹2.5 > x

Given that x is a natural number, therefore

x ≤ ₹2

The possible original values of both products are ₹2 or ₹1

Using an ordered alphabet of 26 letters, how many ways are there to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the
mestny [16]
To find our solution, we can start off by creating a string of 27 boxes, all followed by the letters of the alphabet. Underneath the boxes, we can place 6 pairs of boxes and 15 empty boxes.The stars represent the six letters we pick. The empty boxes to the left of the stars provide the "padding" needed to ensure that no two adjacent letters are chosen. We can create this - 
\binom {21} {6}= \frac{21*20*19*18*17*16}{6*5*4*3*2*1} =21*19*17*8=54264
Thus, the answer is that there are \boxed{54264} ways to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the set are adjacent in the alphabet. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal New Year! <em>2018</em>
