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

Definitely, it is not possible but it is possible with
magics ( remember a magic is nothing but hiding the truth).

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

In the middle of the confounded desert, there is the lost city of "Ash". To reach it, I will have to travel overland by foot from the coast. On a trek like this, each person can only carry enough rations for five days and the farthest we can travel in one day is 30 miles. Also, the city is 120 miles from the starting point. What I am trying to figure out is the fewest number of persons, including myself, that I will need in our Group so that I can reach the city, stay overnight, and then return to the coast without running out of supplies. How many persons (including myself) will I need to accomplish this mission?
