Question
If total number of cuts is 20 then find the ratio of maximum and minimum of pieces that can be obtained.
Options
A. 448:63
B. 446:21
C. 122:21
D. None of these

Correct Answer

446:21

Explanation

For maximum number of pieces cuts has to be 6, 7 and 7 and maximum number of pieces is (6 + 1)(7 + 1)(7 + 1) = 7 x 8 x 8 = 448.
Minimum number of pieces is 20 + 1 = 21.
Hence required ratio is 448:21
