number is of form

7n
7n+1
7n+2
7n+3
7n+4
7n+5
7n+6

the square is correspondingly of the form

7n
7n+1
7n+4
7n+2
7n+2
7n+4
7n+1

if we need the sum of 2 such to be 7n then both have to be of the form 7n

hence the probability is 1/49

16x2+8(a+5)x-7a-5

for strictly above x axis,

D<0

hence

64(a+5)2+4.16.(7a+5)<0

a2+10a+25+7a+5<0

a2+17a+30<0

(a+8.5)2<42.25

now the second part can be dealt quite easily...

for |a+8.5|<6.5

-15<a<-2

hence a can take these values from -14 to -3 which are 12 in number

thus 12/20 = .6

check for mistakes :)

its given a belongs to [-20,0]

it doesnt say only integers!!! dont u need to take into account all real values of a in the given range?????????

then ur answer will defer.....

yup atman then the answer will change...

You are right to have pointed out that...

make necessary changes according to that

@eureka... there will be 7.7 cases... a can be picked in 7 ways so can b be...
