MCQ
A false balance has equal arms. An object weigh $X$ when placed in one pan and $Y$ when placed in other pan, then the weight $W$ of the object is equal to
  • A
    $\sqrt {XY} $
  • $\frac{{X + Y}}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{{{X^2} + {Y^2}}}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{{\sqrt {{X^2} + {Y^2}} }}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{{X + Y}}{2}$
b
(b)When false balance has equal arms then,$W = \frac{{X + Y}}{2}$
