  • Question 1/10
    3 / -0

    A certain sum of money becomes 216/125 times of itself in 3 years at compound interest, compounded annually.

    What is the rate of interest?

    Solutions

    Given Data:

    Money becomes 216/125 times of itself in 3 years.

    Concept:

    where A is the amount,

    P is the principal,

    r is the rate of interest,

    and n is the time in years.

    Solution:

    Using the formula,

    taking cube-root on both sides,

    ⇒ 6/5 = 1 + r/100

    ⇒ 6/5 = (100 + r)/100

    ⇒ 120 = 100 + r

    ⇒ r = 120 - 100 = 20

    Therefore, the rate of interest is 20 percent.

  • Question 2/10
    3 / -0

    A cylinder and a cone are of the same base radius and the same height. Find the ratio of the volume of the cylinder to that of the cone.

    Solutions

    Given:

    Radius of cylinder and cone = r

    Height of cylinder and cone = h

    Formulas used:

    Volume of cylinder = πr2h

    Volume of cone = 1/3 × πr2h

    Calculation:

    ∴ Volume of cylinder/Volume of Cone = πr2h/1/3 × πr2h

    ⇒ 3/1 = 3 : 1

  • Question 3/10
    3 / -0

    The profit earned when an article is sold for Rs. 800 is 20 times the loss incurred when it is sold for Rs. 275. At what price should the article be sold if it is desired to make a profit of 25%.

    Solutions

    Given:

    The profit earned when an article is sold for Rs. 800 is 20 times the loss incurred when it is sold for Rs. 275

    Concept used:

    Loss = Cost price – Selling price 

    Profit = Selling price – Cost price 

    S.P = C.P × (100 + P%)/100

    Calculations:

    Let the loss earned when an article is sold for Rs. 275 be x 

    So, C.P of an article = 275 + x      ----(1)

    According to the question 

    The profit earned when an article is sold for Rs. 800 = 20x 

    C.P of an article = 800 – 20x      ----(2)

    From eq. (1) and eq. (2)

    ⇒ 275 + x = 800 – 20x

    ⇒ 21x = 800 – 275 

    ⇒ 21x = 525 

    ⇒ x = 25 

    From eq. (1)

    C.P of an article = 275 + 25 = 300 

    S.P of an article when it is sold at 25% profit = 300 × 125/100 = 375

    ∴ S.P of an article when it is sold at 25% profit Rs. 375

  • Question 4/10
    3 / -0

    The number of workers in the employment guarantee scheme increased by 15 which resulted into an increase of 20%. What was the initial number of workers?

    Solutions

    Given:

    The number of workers in the employment guarantee scheme increased = 15

    Increase percentage of workers = 20%

    Calculation:

    Let the initial numbers of workers be x

    Then, according to the question

    ⇒ 20% of x = 15

    ⇒ x = 75

    ∴ The initial number of workers is 75.

  • Question 5/10
    3 / -0

    The LCM of two numbers is 48. The numbers are in the ratio of 2 ∶ 3. Find the sum of the number.

    Solutions

    Given:

    The ratio of the two numbers = 2 : 3

    LCM of the two numbers = 48

    Calculation:

    Let the two numbers be 2y and 3y.

    LCM (2y, 3y) = 6y

    ⇒ 6y = 48

    ⇒ y = 8

    Now, The sum of numbers = (2y + 3y)

    ⇒ 5y

    ⇒ 5y = 5 × 8

    ⇒ 40

    ∴ The sum of the number is 40.

  • Question 6/10
    3 / -0

    Pipe A can fill a tank in 6 hrs, while pipe B can empty it in 8 hrs. When both the pipes were opened simultaneously, and pipe B was closed after some time, the tank is full in 12 hrs. For how long was the pipe B opened?

    Solutions

    Part filled by A in 1 hr. = 1/6

    Part filled by A in 12 hrs. = 12 × 1/6 = 2

    Hence,

    Part emptied by B = 2 – 1 = 1

    Part emptied by B in 1 hr. = 1/8

    ∴ Time for which pipe B was opened = 1/(1/8) = 8 hrs.

    Alternate Method

    Total capacity of tank = LCM = 24 

    The efficiency of A = 24/6 = 4

    The efficiency of B = 24/8 = -3 (B can empty the tank so the efficiency of B is negative)

    Tank fill by A and B together in one hr = 4 – 3 = 1

    Let the A and B together fill the tank for x hrs 

    Tank fill by A and B together in x hrs = x

    Remaining = 24 – x 

    Time taken by A to fill the remaining part = (24 – x)/4 

    Total time = 12 

    ⇒ x + (24 – x)/4 = 12 

    ⇒ x = 8 

    ∴ Time for which pipe B was opened is 8 hrs

  • Question 7/10
    3 / -0

    Find k such that a 7-digit number 51032kk is divisible by 12.

    Solutions

    Given:

    7-digit number 51032kk is divisible by 12

    Concept used:

    Divisibility rule for 3 = A number is completely divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

    Divisibility rule for 4 = If the last two digits of a number are divisible by 4, the number is divisible by 4

    Calculation:

    12 = 4 × 3

    According to the concept,

    Possible values of k = 0, 4, 8

    5103200, 5103244, 510388 all are divisible by 4 as their last 2 digits are divisible by 4

    Now,

    5 + 1 + 0 + 3 + 2 + k + k = 11 + 2k should also be divisible by 3

    For k = 0

    11 + 0 = 11 not divisible by 3

    For k = 4

    11 + 8 = 19 not divisible by 3

    For k = 8

    11 + 16 = 27 divisible by 3

    ∴ Requird value of k is 8.

  • Question 8/10
    3 / -0

    ΔABC is inscribed in a circle with center O and if ∠BAC = 2x and ∠BCO = 2y, then which of the following relation is CORRECT?

    Solutions

    Given:

    ΔABC is inscribed in a circle with centre O.

    ∠BAC = 2x and ∠BCO = 2y

    Concept used:

    The angle subtends at the centre is twice the angle subtended from the same arc to any point on its circumference.

    The sum of all internal angles for a triangle is 180.

    Calculation:

    According to the question, the required figure is:

    Since the angle subtends at the centre is twice the angle subtended from the same arc to any point on its circumference.

    Therefore, 

    ∠BOC = 2 × ∠BAC

    ⇒ ∠BOC = 2 × (2x)

    ⇒ ∠BOC = 4x

    In ΔBOC,

    Since OB = OC = r, 

    ∴ ∠BOC = ∠OCB = 2y

    Now, 

    In ΔBOC,

    ∠OCB + ∠OBC + ∠BOC = 180∘ 

    ⇒ 2y + 2y + 4x = 180∘ 

    ⇒ 4y + 4x = 180∘ 

    ⇒ y + x = 45∘ 

    ∴ y + x = 45∘ is the required relation.

  • Question 9/10
    3 / -0

    The line graph shows the scores of a batsman in 6 consecutive matches. What is the range of his scores?

    Solutions

    Calculation:

    Range = Maximum score - Minimum score

    ⇒ Range = 63 - 10

    ⇒ Range = 53

    ∴ The range of his scores is 53.

  • Question 10/10
    3 / -0

    Volume of cuboid is 12250 cm3 melted into right circular cylinder Whose radius is 35 cm, find the curved surface area of the cylinder?

    Solutions

    Given:

    The volume of cuboid 12250 cm3

    Radius of cylinder 35 cm

    Formula used:

    CSA of cylinder = 2πrh

    Volume of cylinder = π r2h

    Solution:

    Volume of cuboid = volume of cylinder 

    ⇒ 12250 = π r2h

    ⇒ π h = 12250/1225 

    ⇒ π h = 10 cm

    CSA of cylinder = 2 π rh

    ⇒ 2 × 10 × 35 = 700 cm2

    ∴ The curved surface area of the cylinder is 700 cm2.
