On joining AP,
Now, APB = 90
(Q Angle in a semicirlce = 90)
AB2 = AP2 + PB2
(14)2 = AP2 + (12)2
AP2 = 52 cm
Now, let
AN = x cm
Then,
NO = (7 x) cm
In APN, AP2 = x2 + PN2
PN2 = AP2 x2
PN2 = 52 x2
...(i)
In PNO, PO2 = PN2 + NO2
(7)2 = PN2 + (7 x)2
49 (7 x)2 = PN2
..(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
52 x2 = 49 (49 14x + x2)
52 x2 = 49 49 + 14x x2

Given equation, (8 * 7 * 6) * 5 * 10
Now, replacing * sign with the
mathematical sign of option (a),
(8 7 6) 5 = 10
(56 6) 5 = 10
50 5 = 10
10 = 10
Hence, option (a) is the right
answer.
After changing the sign of
equation given in option (a) as per
the question,
10 3 + 5 + 4 = 16
7 + 5 + 4 = 16
16 = 16
Hence, option (a) is the rith
answer.

x3 + y3 = (x + y) [(x2 + y2) xy]
= (x + y) [x2 + y2 - xy + 2xy - 2xy]
= (x + y) [x2 + y2 + 2xy - 3xy]
= (x + y) [(x + y)2 - 3xy]
= (x + y) [x + y)2 - 2xy - xy]

Now, putting the value of x in
these factors.
= (a2 + 2a + 15) (a2 + 2a 3)
= (a2 + 2a 3) (a2 + 2a + 15)
= (a2 + 3a a 3) (a2 + 2a + 15)

Now, candidate failed in both the
subjects = 13%
candidates passed in both the
subjects
= {100 (23 + 34 + 13)}%
= (100 44)% = 56%
Now, it is given that 56% of x = 784

x 56

784 100
