Given a collection of points P in the plane, a 1-set is a point in P that can be separated from
the rest by a line; i.e. the point lies on one side of the line while the others lie on the other
side. The number of 1-sets of P is denoted by n1(P). Find the maximum value of n1(P) over all
configurations P of 10 points in the plane.

back to the programmer, after it is sent?

here is no much difference between a class and a structure and the slight difference is the

variables called objects where as the functions do not having any reference variables.

The purpose of the proposed law requiring a doctor's prescription
The purpose of the proposed law requiring a doctor's prescription for obtaining hypodermic needles is to
lower the incidence of drug-related deaths, both accidental and intentional, involving hypodermic needles.
But even knitting needles can be lethal if they fall into the wrong hands; yet everyone would agree that
imposing legal restrictions on obtaining knitting needles would be preposterous. Hence the proposed law
involving hypodermic makes no sense and should not be enacted.
Which of the following, it true, would provide most support for the argument above?
(A) Knitting needles have been known to cause injury and death.
(B) The benefits of hypodermic needles outweigh those of knitting needles.
(C) The proposed law would not deter the sort of activity known to result in drug-related deaths.
(D) The proposed law could not be effectively enforced.
(E) Knitting needles are not readily available to anybody who wants to obtain them.

organizing the home can be perceived as conferring power so large numbers of women are
unwilling to let go of chores, even when they have careers. a survey found that, out of

the cooking. The average male has nearly half as much more free time at weekends
than his wife and the typical new father spends just 37 seconds a day talking to his
baby.

speech or even a play or poem could be a serious political event now the words come
cheaper almost free. Politics is politics again and poetry only poetry

Hacking is a crime made possible by a relatively new technology, which one of the reasons
it is often poorly understood and reported. Many computers, but no means all, are now
linked together in networks which allow users on one computer to communicate with
others on the same network. If a computer is not networked, no manipulation of its
data from another machine is possible. So long as users are authorized, networking is
just a way of making work easier and more productive. Hacking on the other hand, is
the unauthorized use of networks or unauthorized entity into the computers
themselves. Most people do not need to break into the networks they use, since they
are already accredited users.
• Most hackers are authorized to break into networks (True/False/Can't say)
• Computers are only vulnerable to the unauthorized manipulation of their data via
another computer if they are networked (True/False/Can't say)
• The main reason why it is relatively easy to break into a computer is that few people
understand the technology. (True/False/Can't say)
• Hackers do not work for the firms whose networks they break into. (True/False/Can't
say)
Although invaders represent a threat to the conservation of flora and fauna, there are two
special cases in which invasion have been deliberately brought about. One is the desire
to control presents by natural predators, which may have to be brought in from other
countries. The second is releasing organisms into the wild(or on to farms, from which
they might escape)that are completely novel, because they have been genetically
engineered. There is nothing intrinsically sinister about engineered organisms, but any
novelty must be regarded as a potential invader.

If the product of the 3 consecutive integers is 210, then the sum of the
two smaller integers?
the three consecutive integers be x,y and z.
given: xyz=210. the unit place ends with 0. so it must be a multiple of 5,10,...
if it is a multiple of 10 means it must lead to a large number because 10*9*8=720 or
10*11*12=1320. so it must be a multiple of 5.
so now 5*6*7=210 or 5*4*3=60.
according to the given question 5,6,7 only satisfies. so the numbers must be 5,6 and 7.
the sum of smallest integers is 5+6=11.
answer is 11.

A report consists of 20 sheets each of 55 lines and each such line
consists of 65 characters. This report is retyped into sheets each of 65
lines such that each line consists of 70 characters. The % reduction in
the number of sheets is closest to.
20 sheets,55 lines and 65 characters implies 20*55*65=71500.
x sheets,65 lines and 70 characters implies x*65*70=71500.
therefore x=16.
so 16 sheets.

The length of a rectangle is increased by 60%. By what % would the width have to be decreased
to maintain the same area? steps....
Let the length be L and breadth be B...therefore initial area ia A=L*B
Now if we increase length by 60%, the new length will be L+3L/5...
Let the decreased amount of breadth be x...
since the area is same in both the cases, we can equate the area as
L*B=8L/5(B-x)...Solving this we get x as 3/8...which is nothing but 37.5%
Therefore the breadth shld be decreased by 37.5%

A power unit is there by the bank of the river of 750 meters width. A
cable is made from power unit to power a plant opposite to that of the
river and 1500mts away from the power unit. The cost of the cable
below water is Rs. 15/- per meter and cost of cable on the bank is
Rs.12/- per meter. Find the total of laying the cab
width of river = 750 meters
plant from the power unit = 1500 meters
hence, the cable on the bank is 1500 - 750 = 750 meters.
so, total cost = (750*15) + (750*12) = Rs. 20250/-

A box of 150 packets consists of 1kg packets and 2kg packets. Total
weight of box is 264kg. How many 2kg packets are there
Let the number of 1 kg packets be x.
then the number of 2 kg packets is (150-x)
now x * 1 + (150-x) 2 = 264
=> x + 300 -2x=264
=> -x=264-300= -36
=> x=36(no. of 1 kg packets)
no. of 2 kg packets = 150 -36= 114
