  • Question 1/10
    3 / -0

    If the average age of Ram, Raman and Rohan is 23 years and the average age of Raman and Rohan is 27 years, then find Ram's age 5 years ago.

    Solutions

    Given:

    The average age of Ram, Raman, and Rohan = 23 years

    Average age of Raman and Rohan = 27 years

    Formula used:

    Average = Sum of values/Number of values

    Solution:

    Let's assume the current age of Ram is R, Raman is Rm, and Rohan is Rh.

    Using the formula for average, we can write the following equations:

    (R + Rm + Rh)/3 = 23 ---(Equation 1)

    (Rm + Rh)/2 = 27 ---(Equation 2)

    To find Ram's age 5 years ago, we need to determine Ram's current age.

    Solving Equation 2 for Rm + Rh:

    Rm + Rh = 2 × 27

    Rm + Rh = 54 ---(Equation 3)

    Substituting Equation 3 into Equation 1:

    (R + 54)/3 = 23

    R + 54 = 3 × 23

    R + 54 = 69

    R = 69 - 54

    R = 15

    Ram's current age is 15 years.

    Ram's age 5 years ago:

    Ram's age 5 years ago = 15 - 5

    Ram's age 5 years ago = 10 years old.

    Therefore, Ram's age 5 years ago was 10 years.

  • Question 2/10
    3 / -0

    A motor boat can travel at a speed of 10 km per hour in still water, it goes 36 km downstream in the river and returns the same. It took him a total of 20 hours. What is the speed of river flow?

    Solutions

    Given:

    A motor boat can travel at a speed of 10 km per hour in still water, it goes 36 km downstream in the river and returns the same. It took him a total of 20 hours. 

    Calculation:

    Let the flow of water be x km/h

    Speed downstream = (10 + x) km/h

    Speed upstream = (10 - x) km/h

    ⇒ ( 10 + x ) (10 - x ) = 36

    ⇒ 100 - x2 = 36

    ⇒ x2  = 64

    x = 8km/h

    Directions For Questions

    The table below shows the number of cakes sold by six different bakeries in a town on five different days of a particular week.

    ...view full instructions


    The total number of cakes sold by Bakery C on Saturday and Sunday, taken together, is approximate what percentage of the number of cakes sold by Bakery E on Tuesday?

    Solutions

    Calculation:

    The total number of cakes sold by Bakery C on Saturday and Sunday,

    ⇒ 195 + 235 = 430

    The total number of cakes sold by Bakery E on Tuesday,

    ⇒ 325

    According to the question, 

    ⇒ 430/325 × 100 

    ⇒ 430/13 × 4

    ⇒ 132.30

    ∴ It is approximately 132%

  • Question 5/10
    3 / -0

    What least number must be subtracted from 3401, so that the number is completely divisible by 11?

    Solutions

    For this to be divisible by 11, sum of numbers at even places - sum of numbers at odd places must be zero or divisible by 11

    ⇒ (4 + 1) - (3 + 0) = 5 - 3 = 2

    instead of 2 there must be 0, so that it will be divisible by 11

    ∴ 2 must be subtracted from the number to make it divisible by 11

    Alternate Method

    3401 = 3399 × 11 + 2

    Therefore, in order to make the number entirely divisible by 11, 2 must be subtracted.

  • Question 6/10
    3 / -0

    The area of the base of a cone is 144π cm2 while its slant height is 13 cm. This cone is remoulded to obtain a solid sphere. The radius of this sphere will be-

    Solutions

    Let the radius of the base of the cone be r cm and the height of the cone be h cm.

    The area of the base of the cone is 144π cm2,

    ⇒ πr2 = 144π

    ⇒ r = 12

    The cone is remoulded to obtain a solid sphere,

    ⇒ √(122 + h2) = 13

    ⇒ 144 + h2 = 169

    ⇒ h2 = 25

    ⇒ h = 5

    ⇒ Volume of the cone = 1/3 × π × 122 × 5 = 240π cm3

    Let the radius of the sphere be R cm.

    ⇒ 4/3 × π × R3 = 240π

    ⇒ R3 = 180

    ⇒ R = ∛180

    ∴ Radius of the sphere = ∛180 cm

  • Question 7/10
    3 / -0

    Pipe A can fill an empty tank in 6 h and pipe B in 8 h. If both the pipes are opened at the same time and pipe A is closed after 2 hours, then how long will pipe B alone take to fill the remaining tank?

    Solutions

    Given:

    Pipe A can fill an empty tank in 6 h and pipe B in 8 h.

    Both the pipes are opened at the same time and pipe A is closed after 2 hours.

    Calculation:

    Total work = LCM of (6, 8) = 24 unit

    Efficiency of pipe A = 24/6 = 4 unit and efficiency of pipe B = 24/8 = 3 unit

    In the 1st two hours both pipes are opened, the work done = (4 + 3) × 2 = 14 unit

    Remaining = (24 - 14) = 10 unit

  • Question 8/10
    3 / -0

    A sum of ₹550 is to be repaid in 2 equal annual instalments. If the rate is 20% compounded annually, then the value of each instalment will be:

    Solutions

    Given:

    Principle = 550

    Rate = 20%

    Formula Used:

    The formula for Instalments in the case of compound Interest

    Principal = Instalment/(1+r/100) + Instalment/(1+r/100)2

    Calculation:

    Let, the Instalment = A

    By using the above formula

    ⇒ 550 = A/(1+20/100) + A/(1+20/100)2

    ⇒ 550 = A/(6/5) + A/(6/5)2

    ⇒ 550 = A × 5/6 + A × ( 5/6)2

    ⇒ 550 = A × (55/36)

    ⇒ A = 360

    ∴ The value of each instalment will be 360.

  • Question 9/10
    3 / -0

    If the least common multiple of two numbers is 225 and the highest common factor is 5 then find the numbers when one of the numbers is 25?

    Solutions

    Given:

    LCM = 225, HCF = 5, and One of the number is 25.

    Formula used:

    First Number × Second Number = LCM × HCF

    Calculation:

    Let the second number be x.

    First Number × Second Number = LCM × HCF

    ⇒ 25 × x = 5 × 225

    ⇒ x = (5 × 225)/25

    ⇒ x = 5 × 9 = 45

    ∴ The second number is 45.

  • Question 10/10
    3 / -0

    The length, breadth, and height of a cuboid are 7 cm, 11 cm, and 13 cm respectively. What is the total surface area of ​​the cuboid?

    Solutions

    Given:

    Length (l) of the cuboid = 7 cm

    Breadth (b) of the cuboid = 11 cm

    Height (h) of the cuboid = 13 cm

    Concept used:

    The total surface area of a cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)

    Calculation:

    Using the concept

    ⇒ 2[(7 × 11) + (11 × 13) + (13 × 7)]

    ⇒ [77 + 143 + 91]

    ⇒ 2 × 311 = 622 cm²

    ∴ The total surface area of the cuboid is 622 cm².
