Now,
14x/8y=5/7
98x=40y = y=49x/20
112x = 35z
therefore, z= 112x/35 =
hence , 16x/5

Make the value same on every side of the numbers, which will make the numbers as 1.75, 5.60 and 7.00.
Remove decimals for calculation, the numbers are 175, 560 and 700.
Now, H.C.F of 175, 560 and 700 is 35.
So, H.C.F of 1.75, 5.6 and 7 is 0.35.
L.C.M of 175, 560 and 700 is 2800.
So, L.C.M of 1.75, 5.6 and 7 is 28.00 i.e. 28.

D θ
Answer: D
Explanation:
sin^2(θ)+cos^2(θ)=1
1+cot^2(θ)=cosec^2(θ)
(sin^2(θ)+cos^2(θ)=1)
(sin^2(θ)=1−cos^2(θ))
((1−cos^2(θ))(1+cot^2(θ))-1
((sin^2(θ))(cosec^2(θ)))-1
cosec=1sin
thus
cosec^2(θ)=1sin^2(θ)
and so ((sin^2(θ))(1sin^2(θ)))-1=1-1 = 0
