Let P's speed = x km/hr. Then, Q's speed = (7 - x) km/ hr.

So, 24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14

x2 - 98x + 168 = 0

(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 => x = 3 or 4.

Since, P is faster than Q,

so P's speed = 4 km/hr and Q's speed = 3 km/hr.

A periscope is an optical instrument that uses a system of prisms, lenses, or mirrors to reflect images through a tube.

Light from a distant object strikes the top mirror and is then reflected at an angle of 90 degrees down the periscope tube. At the bottom of the periscope, the light strikes another mirror and is then reflected into the viewer’s eye.

Hence, A periscope works by the principle of Total internal reflection.

Square units 13 by 9 of an office means office of length 13 units and breadth 9 units.

Now its area is 13x 9 = 117 square units or units square.

We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cm
Given perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cm
Therefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cm
Circumference of the required semicircle = πr + 2r = 227× 152 + 2×152 = 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.

2172+1832

= 200+172+200-172

It is in the form of a+b2+a-b2=2a2+b2

= 2(40000 + 289) = 80578.

If yesterday were tomorrow, today is Friday => tomorrow of friday is Saturday.

Hence, it implies that today is Sunday if tomorrow is Saturday.
