can u prove that 1=2? is it possible?..

Answer / prasant kumar

ya it is possible..



a^2-b^2 =(a+b)(a-b)
so a^2-a^2=(a+a)(a-a)..............eqn 1

and a^2-a^2=a(a-a).......eqn 2

hence after comparing both we will get the result that

a=(a+a)
=>1=2

Answer / sandeep

1^0=1^1
if a^m=a^n,m=n
so,0=1
adding 1 on both sides
0+1=1+1
1=2

Answer / guest

Actually it is not true,but some manipulation can do.

let a=b
multiply by b
ab=b^2
ab-a^2=b^2-a^2
a(b-a)=(b+a)(b-a) [actually b-a=0; 0 can't be
cancelled]
a=b+a
a=a+a [a=b]
a=2a
1=2

Answer / manoj kumar paikray

Here question is that 1=2,
so we have to proved that R.H.S=L.H.S
as L.H.S=1
=1*X
=1*0(let X=0)
=0
then R.H.S=2
=2*X
=2*0(as X=0)
=0=L.H.S
hence L.H.S=R.H.S
SO 1=2

Answer / jayasree

yes, it is possible.
A2-b2 = (a+b) (a-b) as equn 1
Lets take b2=a, substitute in equn 1,
A2-a =(a+b) (a-b)
A2-a = a2-ab+ab-b2
-a = -b2
A=b2
Take log on both sides,
Log a = 2 log b
Assume a=b=0, and subsitute,
Log 0 = 2 log 0
1 = 2 (1) (i.e, log 0 = 1)
1=2

Answer / bavas ahamed

a=b
a^2=b^2
a^2=ab
(a^2-b^2)=ab-b^2
(a-b)*(a+b)=b(a-b)
a+b=b
if b=2,a=1
therefore 1=2

However, all of the inhabitants are either Fairies or Trolls and they all use a spell to appear humanoid so you cannot tell which is which. And the Faries always tell the truth and the Trolls always lie, but there is a slight complication, some of the Fairies have gone insane and always lie and some of the Trolls have also gone insane and always tell the truth. So here is your task: you must ask the first inhabitant that you come to ONE question and from that ONE question you must determine wether Atlantis is still around or not. What is the question that you must ask?

In a kingdom far far away, the King decided that the time has come to find a husband for his princess daughter. The King wanted to find a worthy lad for his princess, so he promised to give his daughter away to the first young (or old) man who would solve the puzzle that has stumped the best of his court mathematicians for years. The puzzle is very simple: in a palace, there are 25 rooms arranged in a square--5 rows of rooms with 5 rooms in each row. In every room there is a light switch which not only switches on/off the light in that room, but also switches the lights in the adjacent rooms--the room to the right, to the left, the room above and the room below. Initially, all of the lights are turned off. The goal is to turn the lights on in every room of the palace.
