(b) cos R ≥   cos P +   cos Q

(c) <2

(d) If p < q and p < r , the cos Q > and cos R >

 Answer: (a), (b)
Solution:

(a)
q2 + r 2 − p2 q2 + r 2
cos P = and ≥ q2.r 2 ( AM ≥ GM )
2qr 2
⇒ q 2 + r 2 ≥ 2qr
2qr − p 2
So, cos P ≥

cos P ≥ 1 −
2qr

(b)

(d)
If p < q and p < r
So, p is smallest side, therefore one of Q or R be obtuse.

Question: A number is chosen at random from the set {1, 2, 3......, 2000}. Let p be the
probability that the chosen number is a multiple of 3 or a multiple of 7. Then the value of
500 p is ______.
Answer: 214.00
Solution:
E = a number which is multiple of 3 or multiple of 7
n(E) = ( 3, 6,9,....,1998) + ( 7,14, 21,....,1995) − ( 21, 42, 63,....1995)
