Let X and Y are given fractions.Given that, fraction X is thrice the fraction Y;i.e., X = 3Y ...(1)And their product = X x Y = 25/12Sub. eqn (1) in above,(3Y)x(Y) = 25/123(Y²) = 25/12(Y²) = 25/36Y = 5/6Hence the required fraction is 5/6.
Given expression = (11.98)² + (0.02)² + 11.98 x x.For the given expression to be a perfect square, we must have11.98 x x = 2 x 11.98 x 0.02 or x = 0.04
