“Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend.”

What is the meaning of the given phrase?

Answer

It is said by Lord Polonius.



It means do not lend or borrow money from a friend, because if you do so, you will lose both your friend and your money. If you lend, he will avoid paying back, and if you borrow you will fall out of your savings, as you turn into a spendthrift, and face humiliation.

Q:

0 divided by 0

A) 0 B) 1
C) Undefined D) Indeterminate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Indeterminate

Explanation:

Indeterminate are those,which mathematics can’t determine.

Because we don’t actually know which one is the exact answer for this due to having lots of results for this.

Explanation::

      • Let us think by this analogy that,

0 / 1 = 0

0 / 2 = 0

…………

………..

we can say 0 / n = 0 from this we can write, 0/0 = 0

      • Again, another analogy,(from limiting concept of 1/0 = infinity)

1 / 0 = + or -

2 /0 = + or -

………

.…….

we can say 0 / 0 = 

      • Again, another analogy,

1 / 1 = 1

2/2 = 1

.……..

………..

we can say, 0/0 = 1

Now, you see it’s confusing. Every analog is mathematically correct then which one is the right answer for 0/0.  Therefore Mathematics can’t determine this fact.

So, 0/0 is indeterminate.
