if |r-6|=11 and |2q-12|=8, what could be the minimum possible value of q/r

5

Suri GangulaFaculty 8y ago

r can be -5 or 17 and q can be 10 or 2

so min value is 10/-5

how can we solve this question??

Mayank Jaiswal 8y ago

both |r-6| = 11 & |2q-12| = 8 give two solutions, total 4 values of r & q.
r-6= 11 & -r+6=11 => r=17,-5
2q-12=8 & -2q+12=8 => q= 10,-2
These values give min as 10/-5 = -2
