Probability of an event = No. Of favourable occurrences / Total no. Of occurrences of all possible events Let 'n' be the total no. Of times the coin is tossed. Given probability of success of a head appearing = 0.4 Given the no. Of times 'head' appeared = 24 So, 0.4 = 24 / n n = 24 / 0.4 So, n = 60.

Answer of n =60, since p(h)=0.4 , and n=24= total no of head appearances, then we get equation , 0.4 n = 24 / n, solving fr n total appearances 0.4 n =24 .. eq (1) or 4n =240 or n=240/4=60 total appearances , is the required answer .. Dr K S Velmurugan Quantitative methods Teacher Pondicherry

How many triangles can be drawn having its angles as 45°, 64° and 72°? Give reason for your answer.
Zero triangles.. we cant draw triangle with these angles. but the given angles are 45,64.72. if we add those we get 45+64+72=181. so we cannot draw triangle.

What is the meaning of ^ in maths?
The symbol ^ is generally used to denote exponents or powers. For ex : 2^3 = 8 (which simply means that 2 is raised to the power 3 , which results in 8) More examples : 5^2 = 25. 6^2 = 36

Hello everyone

Which is better? : Online tuitions by brands like: Meritnation, Myschool page or Catalyze or regular tuition classes?
I would suggest offline coaching because it binds the students and gives different levels of class surrounding, which is not possible in online classes. However, for extra self-studies, one can take the help of online material.

Solve : 141x + 103y = 217; 103x + 141y = 27
First add both equations, we'll get 244x+244y=244, Now, Divide this equation by 244, it gives x+y=1.....(a) Again, subtract equation 2 from 1, it gives 38x-38y=190, Now, divide this equation by 38,comes x-y=5.....(b) Now...

Solve : x + y = 18; y + z = 12; z + x = 16
Let x+y=18---(1), y+z=12---(2),z+x=16---(3) Solving (2)-(3) we get y+z-z-x=12-16 y-x=-4--(4) Solving (4)+(5) we get x+y+y-x=18-4 2y=14 y=14/2=7 Substitute y value in (1) x+7=18 x=18-7=11 Substitute x value in (3) z+11=16 z=16-11=5 x=11, y=7, z=5
