Since AP/PB=1/2 So, AP/AB=1/3 Triangles APQ and ABC are similar (AA rule) because angle APQ=angle ABC... corresponding angles & angle A =angle A.. common so the ratio of areas of triangles APQ and ABC=square of the ratio of the corresponding sides=square of 1/3=1/9 so if area of triangle...

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.

Find the HCF of 52 and 117 and express it in form 52x + 117y.
From Euclid's division lemma,we know that a=bq+r,Since 117>52 ,we can take a=117 & b=52 Now,117=52*2+13(52 is divisor) so,52=13*4+0,the division process stops here,as the remainder becomes 0. Hence...
