The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is

The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is Correct Answer 1

The mutiplicative inverse of a number is nothing but a reciprocal of a number.

Now, the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is always equal to 1.

 

For example :

Let the number be 15

Multiplicative inverse of 15 = 1/15

The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is = 15 x 1/15 = 1.

Two stores A and B bought the same product from the company at the same price. Store A marked the price of the product 50% above its cost price and offered two successive discounts of 15% and 10% on the marked price of the product, while store B marked the price of the product 60% above its cost price and offered two successive discounts of 15% and 12% on the marked price of the product. If a customer buys the product from store B, he has to pay Rs. 986 more than that at store A. At what price the two stores bought the product from the company?

A simple stand - alone software utility is to be developed in ’C’ programming by a team of software experts for a computer running Linux and the overall size of this software is estimated to be 20,000 lines of code. Considering (a, b) = (2.4, 1.05) as multiplicative and exponention factor for the basic COCOMO effort estimation equation and (c, d)=(2.5, 0.38) as multiplicative and exponention factor for the basic COCOMO development time estimation equation, approximately how long does the software project take to complete ?  
The following sentences form a paragraph. These four parts are numbered as P, Q, R and S. They are not given in their proper order. Read the sentences and choose the alternative that arranges them in correct order. P. Inverse problem refers to the scientific problem of estimating the different causes that led to a particular outcome.  Q. This is in contrast to the forward or the direct problem where scientists try to find the outcome that results from a series of causes. R. A scientist observing a photograph, for instance, would be faced with the inverse problem while trying to figure out the various causal factors that combined to form the final photograph. The inverse problem is applied to understand processes in a wide variety of sciences. S. Scientists trying to understand an observation may at times have to work backwards to estimate the causal factors behind it.

There are two rows, each containing 3 numbers. Below are some rules to be used to get the resultant number for each row separately. Use the rule from left to right for each row and find the answer to the question. Rule: 1. If an even number is followed by an even number, then the first number will be subtracted from the second. 2. If an odd number is followed by an odd number, then both will be added. 3. If an odd number is followed by an even number, then the even number will be subtracted from the square of the odd number. 4. If an even number is followed by an odd number, then the odd number will be subtracted from the even number. Row I: 9,11, 34 Row II: 16, 9, 8 What is the difference between the resultant numbers in the first row and the second row
Given below are three quantities named A, B and C. Based on the given information, determine the relation among the three quantities. A shopkeeper bought two products X and Y from a company. He bought product X for Rs. 3060 and sold it to the customer earning a profit of 20%, while he sold the product Y to a customer for Rs. 4160, thereby earning a profit of 30%.
