Let's assume the marks obtained by Ravita are x. According to the statement, 9(x+10) = x^2 9x +90 = x^2 x^2-9x-90 = 0 which is in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0 x=(-b±?(b^2-4ac))/2a, x=9±?(81+360))/2, x=(9+21)/2, x= 15 if x = (9-21)/2, x= -6 Assuming the positive narks scored, she scored 15 marks.

Find the number of terms of the A.P: 7, 13, 19, ...., 205?
The first term, t1=a = 7. The common difference, b=13 - 7=6. Last term or the nth term, tn=a + (n-1)b = 205. So, we have, 7 + (n - 1)6 = 205 --> (n - 1) = (205 - 7)/6 = 33 --> n = 34. Answer: Number of terms is 34.

If A:B = 4:5, B:C = 6:7 and C:D = 14:15, find A:D?
(B/C ) * (C/D)= (6/7) * (14/15) => B/D = 4/5 => (A/B)*(B/D)=(4/5)*(4/5) => A/D = 16/25.
