a. 2052 b. c.4096 d. e.
ans 4096
7)Find the value of the 678 to the base 7.
8)one question like g(0)=1 , g(1)=2) g(n)=g(n-1)-g(n-2) find g(6)?
9)A power unit is there by the bank of the river of 900 meters width. A cable is made from power unit to power plant opposite to that of the river and 3000mts away from the power unit.The cost of the cable below water isRs.4/- per meter and cost of cable on the bank is Rs.5/-per meter. Find the total of laying the cable ?
(Hint-900*4+(3000-900)*5).
