If $\log_4m + \log_4n = \log_2(m + n)$ where m and n are positive real numbers, then which of the following must be true?
At any point of time, let x be the smaller of the two angles made by the hour hand with the minute hand on an analogue clock (in degrees). During the time interval from 2:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., what is the minimum possible value of x?
One third of the buses from City A to City B stop at City C, while the rest go non-stop to City B. One third of the passengers, in the buses stopping at City C, continue to City B, while the rest alight at City C. All the buses have equal capacity and always start full from City A. What proportion of the passengers going to City B from City A travel by a bus stopping at City C?
Rajesh, a courier delivery agent, starts at point A and makes a delivery each at points B, C and D, in that order. He travels in a straight line between any two consecutive points. The following are known: (i) AB and CD intersect at a right angle at E, and (ii) BC, CE and ED are respectively 1.3 km, 0.5 km and 2.5 km long. If AD is parallel to BC, then what is the total distance (in km) that Rajesh covers in travelling from A to D?
Let $f(x) = \frac{x^2 + 1}{x^2 - 1}$ if $x ≠ 1, -1,$ and 1 if x = 1, -1. Let $g(x) = \frac{x + 1}{x - 1}$ if $x ≠ 1,$ and 3 if x = 1.What is the minimum possible values of $\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}$ ?
Rahul has just made a $3 \times 3$ magic square, in which, the sum of the cells along any row, column or diagonal, is the same number N. The entries in the cells are given as expressions in x, y, and Z. Find N?
