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.

Q:

The expression of 5008 km in scientific notation is

A) 50.08 x 10^3 kms B) 5.008 x 10^-3 kms
C) 5.008 x 10^3 kms D) 500.8 x 10^3 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5.008 x 10^3 kms

Explanation:

We know that, any decimal number when multiplied by the multiples of 10, the decimal point moves to right the number of zeroes in the multiplying number.

 

For example :: 

0.0410 x 100 = 4.10 (Number of zeros in 100 are 2. So, the decimal point in 0.0410 moves two places to the right and becomes 4.10.)

 

Similarly, here in the option C) 5.008 x 10^3 kms it makes 5008 kms as the number of zeros in 10^3  i.e,  1000 are 3 and 5.008 becomes 5008.
