Correct Answer
D. 3√5Explanation
The distance between two points in three-dimensional space can be found using the formula:
distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 + (z2 - z1)^2)
In this case, the coordinates of the first point are (1, -3, 4) and the coordinates of the second point are (-4, 1, 2).
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
distance = √((-4 - 1)^2 + (1 - (-3))^2 + (2 - 4)^2)
= √((-5)^2 + (4)^2 + (-2)^2)
= √(25 + 16 + 4)
= √45
= 3√5
Therefore, the correct answer is 3√5.Rate this question:

- C.
3000
- D.
1205
Correct Answer
B. 3024Explanation
The question asks for the number of 4-digit numbers that can be formed using the digits 1 to 9 without repetition. To solve this, we need to calculate the number of choices for each digit. For the first digit, we have 9 options (1 to 9). For the second digit, we have 8 options (since we cannot repeat the digit chosen for the first digit). Similarly, for the third digit, we have 7 options, and for the fourth digit, we have 6 options. Therefore, the total number of 4-digit numbers that can be formed is 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 = 3024.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. 24Explanation
The number of relations from set A to set B can be calculated by taking the power set of A (which is the set of all possible subsets of A) and then finding the number of possible mappings from each subset to set B. Since A has 2 elements and B has 2 elements, the power set of A will have 2^2 = 4 subsets. Each subset can be mapped to B in 2^2 = 4 different ways, resulting in a total of 4*4 = 16 possible mappings. Therefore, the correct answer is 16.Rate this question:

In a GP the 3rd term is 24 and the 6th term is 192. Find 10th term? Select the ones you like
- A.
3072
- B.
3075
- C.
3030
- D.
6520
Correct Answer
A. 3072Explanation
In a geometric progression (GP), each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor. To find the 10th term, we can use the formula for the nth term of a GP: a_n = a_1 * r^(n-1), where a_n is the nth term, a_1 is the first term, r is the common ratio, and n is the position of the term. Given that the 3rd term is 24 and the 6th term is 192, we can write two equations: 24 = a_1 * r^2 and 192 = a_1 * r^5. Dividing the second equation by the first equation, we get r^3 = 8. Solving for r, we find r = 2. Substituting r = 2 into the first equation, we can solve for a_1: 24 = a_1 * 2^2, which gives a_1 = 6. Finally, plugging in a_1 = 6 and n = 10 into the formula, we find the 10th term is 6 * 2^(10-1) = 3072. Therefore, the correct answer is 3072.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Y2=4axExplanation
The equation of a parabola with a vertex at (h, k) and a focus at (h + p, k) is given by (x - h)² = 4p(y - k). In this case, the vertex is at (a, 0) and the directrix is x = -a. Since the vertex is at (a, 0), the equation becomes (x - a)² = 4p(y - 0). Since the directrix is x = -a, the value of p is a. Therefore, the equation simplifies to (x - a)² = 4a(y - 0), which can be further simplified to y² = 4ax.Rate this question:
