Question : If $x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}=4(4+x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3})$, then what is the value of $\left [ \frac{1}{(2+x_{1})} \right ]+\left [ \frac{1}{(2+x_{2})} \right ]+\left [ \frac{1}{(2+x_{3})} \right ]?$
Option 1: $1$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 3: $2$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{3}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{1}{2}$
Solution : Given: $x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}=4(4+x_{1}+x_{2}+x_{3})$ Put $x_{2} = 1$ and $x_{3} = 1$, ⇒ $x_{1}= 4(4 + x_{1} + 1 + 1)$ ⇒ $x_{1}= 16 + 4x_{1} + 8$ ⇒ $x_{1}=-8$ Putting all these values; $\left [ \frac{1}{(2+x_{1})} \right ]+\left [ \frac{1}{(2+x_{2})} \right ]+\left [\frac{1}{(2+x_{3})} \right ]$ =
Question : Sandy and Mandy do $\frac{8}{13}$th part of a work and the rest of the work was completed by Andy. If Sandy, Mandy and Andy take the same work for Rs. 2600, then what is the share (in Rs.) of Andy?
Option 1: 1600
