Consider the following functions for non-zero positive integers, p and q.
$\rm f(p,q)=\frac{p\times p\times p\times.......\times p}{q\ terms}=p^q;\;$; f(p, 1) = p
$g(p,q)=p^{p^{p^{p^{p^{..^{..^{..^{up\ to\ q\ terms}}}}}}}}$; g(p, 1) = p
Which one of the following options is correct based on the above?
Four cities P, Q, R and S are connected through one-way routes as shown in the figure. The travel time between any two connected cities is one hour. The boxes beside each city name describe the starting time of first train of the day and their frequency of operation. For example, from city P, the first trains of the day start at 8 AM with a frequency of 90 minutes to each of R and S. A person does not spend additional time at any city other than the waiting time for the next connecting train.
If the person starts from R at 7 AM and is required to visit S and return to R, what is the minimum time required?
Equal sized circular regions are shaded in a square sheet of paper of 1 cm side length. Two cases, case M and case N, are considered as shown in the figures below. In the case M, four circles are shaded in the square sheet and in the case N, nine circles are shaded in the square sheet as shown.
What is the ratio of the areas of unshaded regions of case M to that of case N?
