QR = QS + SR = (6 + 9) cm = 15 cm and PR2 = PQ2 + QR2 [Pythagoras Theorem]

PR2 = 82+152 = 64 + 225 = 289 cm2 PR = = 17 cm

A 16: One electronic device makes a beep after every 60 seconds and another device makes a beep after every 62 seconds. Interval of beeping together = LCM (60 seconds, 62 seconds) LCM (60, 62) = 2 x 31 x 30 = 1860

LCM (60 seconds, 62 seconds) = 1860 seconds =

They beeped together at 10 am. They will beep together again at 10 hr 00 min + 31 min = 10 hr 31 min = 10:31 am
