The following figures show three curves generated using an iterative algorithm. The total length of the curve generated after 'Iteration n' is:
Show Hint
- \( \left( \frac{5}{3} \right)^{\frac{n}{2}} \)
- \( \left( \frac{5}{3} \right)^n \)
- \( 2n \)
- \( \left( \frac{5}{3} \right)^n(2n - 1) \)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In the first iteration (Iteration 0), the length of the curve is 1. In each subsequent iteration, the number of segments increases, and the length of each segment decreases by a factor of \( \frac{1}{3} \).
Step 2: Finding the total length after each iteration.
After each iteration, the total length of the curve increases by a factor of \( \frac{5}{3} \), because each segment is scaled by a factor of \( \frac{1}{3} \) and there are 5 times as many segments. Thus, the total length after 'Iteration n' is:
\[ \text{Total length} = \left( \frac{5}{3} \right)^n. \]

- An organization allows its employees to work independently on consultancy projects but charges an overhead on the consulting fee.
The overhead is 20% of the consulting fee if the fee is up to ₹5,00,000.
For higher fees, the overhead is ₹1,00,000 plus 10% of the amount by which the fee exceeds ₹5,00,000.
The government charges a Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 18% on the total amount (i.e., the consulting fee plus the overhead).
An employee of the organization charges this entire amount — that is, the consulting fee, overhead, and tax — to the client.
If the client cannot pay more than ₹10,00,000, what is the maximum consulting fee that the employee can charge?

P: Over time, such adaptations lead to significant evolutionary changes with the potential to shape the development of new species.
Q: In natural world, organisms constantly adapt to their environments in response to challenges and opportunities.
R: This process of adaptation is driven by the principle of natural selection, where favorable traits increase an organism’s chances of survival and reproduction.
S: As environments change, organisms that can adapt their behavior, structure, and physiology to such changes are more likely to survive. - Which one of the following plots represents \( f(x) = -\frac{|x|}{x} \), where \( x \) is a non-zero real number?
