Question
Two machines can be hooked together. When something is sent through this hook up, the output from the first machine becomes the input for the second. Which two machines hooked together do the same work a (× 102) machine does? Is there more than one arrangement of two machines that will work?
Solution
For getting the same work a (× 102) machine does, we have to (× 22) and (× 52) machines hooked together.
∴ × 102 = × 100
Similarly, × 22 × 52 = × 4 × 25 = × 100
