Find the number of ways of dividing 52 cards among 4 players equally such that each gets exactly one Ace.

Solution : Total number of ways of dividing 48 cards(Excluding 4 Aces) in 4 groups = \(48!\over (12!)^4 4!\) Now, distribute exactly one Ace to each group of 12 cards. Total number of ways = \(48!\over (12!)^4 4!\) \(\times\) 4! Now, distribute these groups of cards among four players = \(48!\over (12!)^4 4!\) \(\times\) 4!4! …

The slope of tangent parallel to the chord joining the points (2, -3) and (3, 4) is

Solution : Since, Slope of line passing through two points is m = \(y_2 – y_1\over x_2 – x_1\). so, slope of chord passing through two points is \(4-(-3)\over 3-2\) = 7 Now, Tangent line is parallel to chord. Therefore slope of tangent line is equal to slope of chord, Hence slope of tangent line …

What is the equation of common tangent to the parabola \(y^2\) = 4ax and \(x^2\) = 4ay ?

Solution : The equation of tangent in slope form to \(y^2\) = 4ax is y = mx + \(a\over m\) Now, if it is common to both parabola, it also lies on second parabola then \(x^2\) = 4a(mx + \(a\over m\)) \(mx^2 – 4am^2 – 4a^2\) = 0 has equal roots. then its discriminant is …

If the lines 3x-4y-7=0 and 2x-3y-5=0 are two diameters of a circle of area 49π square units, then what is the equation of the circle?

Solution : Area = 49π π\(r^2\) = 49π r = 7 Now find the coordinates of center of circle by solving the given two equations of diameter. By solving the above equation through elimination method we get, x = 1 and y =-1 which are the coordinates of center of circle. Now the general equation …
