Q:

In a class of 80 students and 5 teachers, each student got shopping coupons that are 15% of the total number of students and each teacher got shopping coupons, that are 25% of the total number of students. How many shopping coupons were there?

A) 960 B) 1000
C) 1060 D) 100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1060

Explanation:

Given total number of students = 80

Total teachers = 5

Number of coupons each student got = 15 x 80/100 = 12

Number of coupons each teacher got = 25 x 80/100 = 20

 

Therefore, total number of shopping coupons = 80 x 12 + 5 x 20 = 960 + 100 = 1060.

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.
