The price of commodity X increases by 40 paise every year, while the price of commodity Y increases by 15 paise every year. If in 2001, the price of commodity X was Rs. 4.20 and that of Y was Rs. 6.3
Suppose commodity X wil cost 40 paise more than Y after Z years.Then, (4.20 + 0.40Z) - (6.30 + 0.15Z) = 0.40 0.25Z = 0.40 + 2.10 Z= X will cost 40 paise more than Y 10 years after 2001 . i.e in 2011
(489.1375 x 0.0483 x 1.956) / (0.0873 x 92.581 x 99.749)= (489 x 0.05 x 2) / (0.09 x 93 x 100)= 489 / (9 x 93 x 10)= (163 / 279) x (1 / 10)= 0.58 / 10= 0.058 or 0.06
Given Expression = (.53)³ - (.42)³- 3 x .58 x .42 x (.58-.42)= a³-b³ -3ab(a - b) = (a - b)³(where a = .58 and b=.42)= (.58 - .42 )³ = .16 x .16 x .16 = 0.004096
