Numerator in the fraction $\frac{5}{6}$ is ..........
- ✓
$5$
- B
$6$
- C
$\frac{1}{5}$
- D
$\frac{1}{6}$
AnswerWhen an object is divided into a number of equal parts then each part is called a fraction.
For example, in a fraction $\frac{2}{5},$ the numerator is $2$ and the denominator is $5,$
where the numerator represents how many parts is there in the fraction and the denominator represents how many equal parts in the whole object.
Hence, numerator of the fraction $\frac{5}{6}$ is $5.$

Mixed fraction for $\frac{39}{12}$ is:
- A
$3\frac{1}{12}$
- B
$3\frac{2}{12}$
- ✓
$3\frac{3}{12}$
- D
$2\frac{14}{12}$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $3\frac{3}{12}$
To convert an improper fraction to a mixed fraction, we divide the numerator by the denominator, then write down the whole number answer.
Finally we write down any remainder above the denominator.
$39 ÷ 12 = 3$ leaving remainder $3$
Therefore, the answer will be, $3$ whole $\frac{3}{12}$
Hence, the mixed fraction of $\frac{39}{12}$ is $3\frac{3}{12}$.

Let, $P (x) = x2 + px + q$ and $Q(x) = x2 + mx + n$
Given $(x + a)$ is factor of $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$

The highest common factor of the expressions $x^2 + x - (K + 7)$ and $2x^2 + Kx - 12$ is
$x + 4,$ the value of $K$ will be
Answer $\because x + 4 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = −4$
$\therefore$ On putting $ x=-4$
$x=−4$ in each of the expression the remainder will be zero
$\Rightarrow (-4)^2 + (-4) - (k + 7) = 0$
$\Rightarrow 16 - 4 - k - 7 = 0$
$\therefore k = 5$
Or $ 2x^2 + kx - 12$
$\because x + 4 = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = -4$
$\therefore$ On putting $x = -4$ in each of the expression the remainder will be zero
$2(4)^2 + k(4) - 12 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 32 + 4k - 12 = 0$
