If \(p^2+q^2-29=2pq-20=52-2pq\) , then the difference between the maximum and minimum possible value of \((p^3-q^3 ) \)is
If \(x\) and \(y\) are positive real numbers such that \(log_x(x^2+12)=4\) and \(3\;log_yx=1\),then \(x+y\) equals
Pipes A and C are fill pipes while Pipe B is a drain pipe of a tank. Pipe B empties the full tank in one hour less than the time taken by Pipe A to fill the empty tank. When pipes A, B and C are turned on together, the empty tank is filled in two hours. If pipes B and C are turned on together when the tank is empty and Pipe B is turned off after one hour, then Pipe C takes another one hour and 15 minutes to fill the remaining tank. If Pipe A can fill the empty tank in less than five hours, then the time taken, in minutes, by Pipe C to fill the empty tank is
The value of \(1+\bigg(1+\frac{1}{3}\bigg)\frac{1}{4}+\bigg(1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{9}\bigg)\frac{1}{16}+\bigg(1+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{9}+\frac{1}{27}\bigg)\frac{1}{64}+....\),is
A quadrilateral \(ABCD\) is inscribed in a circle such that \(AB :CD\) = \(2:1\) and \(BC:AD = 5: 4\). If \(AC\) and \(BD\) intersect at the point \(E\),then \(AE:CE\) equals
The price of a precious stone is directly proportional to the square of its weight. Sita has a precious stone weighing 18 units. If she breaks it into four pieces with each piece having distinct integer weight, then the difference between the highest and lowest possible values of the total price of the four pieces will be 288000. Then, the price of the original precious stone is

A boat takes 2 hours to travel downstream a river from port A to port B, and 3 hours to return to port A. Another boat takes a total of 6 hours to travel from port B to port A and return to port B . If the speeds of the boats and the river are constant, then the time, in hours, taken by the slower boat to travel from port A to port B is
Let \(ΔABC\) be an isosceles triangle such that \(AB\) and \(AC\) are of equal length. \(AD\) is the altitude from \(A\) on \(BC\) and \(BE\) is the altitude from \(B\) on \(AC\) . If \(AD\) and \(BE\) intersect at \(O\) such that \(∠AOB =105\degree\) , then \(\frac{AD}{BE}\) equals

Anil invests Rs. 22000 for 6 years in a certain scheme with 4% interest per annum, compounded half-yearly. Sunil invests in the same scheme for 5 years, and then reinvests the entire amount received at the end of 5 years for one year at 10% simple interest. If the amounts received by both at the end of 6 years are same, then the initial investment made by Sunil, in rupees, is
