  • Question 1/10
    3 / -0

    The pie chart shows the percentage of students studying different courses in a college.

    The ratio between the number of students studying in BCA and B.sc, if the total number of students is 1200, is:

    Solutions

    Calculation:

    Total number of students is 1200.

    ⇒ 100% = 1200

    ⇒ 1% = 12

    The ratio between the number of students studying in BCA and B.sc,

    ⇒ BCA : B.sc = 12% : 18%

    ⇒ BCA : B.sc = 12 : 18 = 2 : 3

    ∴ The required ratio is 2 : 3

  • Question 2/10
    3 / -0

    Two consecutive numbers are such that one-fourth of the smaller number exceeds one-fifth of the larger number by 3. The larger number is ________.

    Solutions

    Given:

    Let the smaller number be x then the larger number be x + 1.

    60 = x - 4

    x = 64

    Smaller number = 64

    Larger number = x + 1 = 64 + 1 = 65

    Hence, the larger number is 65.

  • Question 3/10
    3 / -0

    What will be the compound interest on a sum of Rs 22,000 after 3 years at the rate of 6 percent per annum?

    Solutions

    Given:

    P = 22000, n = 3 year, R = 6 %

    Formula Used:

    Amount = P(1 + R/100)n

    C.I = A - P

    Calculation:

    By using the above formula

    A = 22000 (1 + 6/100)3

    A = 22000 × (106/100)3

    A = 22000 × (106 × 106 × 106)/(100 × 100 × 100)  

    A = 22000 × (1.06 × 1.06 × 1.06)

    A = 26202.35

    Therefore, 

    C.I = A - P

    C.I = 26202.35 - 22000

    ∴ C.I = 4202.35 

  • Question 4/10
    3 / -0

    A man borrows a certain sum of money and pays it back in 2 years in two equal instalments. If Compound Interest is reckoned at 5% per annum in case of annual compounding and he pays back annually Rs. 882, what sum did he borrow?

    Solutions

    Given Data:

    Pays back annually Rs. 882 in 2 equal instalments.

    Compound Interest is reckoned at 5% per annum.

    Concept:

    Compound Interest formula and the concept of annuity.

    Calculation:

    The man paid rupees 882 as the amount at the end of the first year and another rupees 882, as the amount at the end of the second year.

    Principal for the first year = 882/(1 + (5/100)) = 840

    Principal for the second year = 882/(1 + (5/100))2 = 800

    Total principal = 840 + 800 = 1640

    Therefore, sum did he borrow is Rs. 1640.

  • Question 5/10
    3 / -0

    Four cows are tied at 4 corners (one at each corner) of a rectangular field of length 30 m and width 20 m. The length of the rope is 7 m. What is the area of the field that cows CANNOT graze? (Use π = 22/7)

    Solutions

    Given:

    Length of the field = 30 m

    Width of the field = 20 m

    Length of the rope = 7 m

    Formula:

    Area of a circle = πr2.

    The total area of the field = Length x Width

    Solution:

    Total area of the field = 30 m x 20 m = 600 m2.

    The area that each cow can graze makes a quadrant

    ⇒ πr2/4 = π × (7 m)2 = 154/4 m2.

    The total area that 4 cows can graze

    ⇒ 4 ×  Area that each cow can graze

    ⇒ 4 ×  154/4 m2 = 154 m2.

    So, the area of the field that cows CANNOT graze

    ⇒ Total area of the field - Total area that 4 cows can graze

    ⇒ 600 m2 - 154 m= 446 m2

    Therefore, the area of the field that cows CANNOT graze is 446 m2. 

  • Question 6/10
    3 / -0

    If the volume of a cube is 4096 cm3, then what is the length of the side of the cube?

    Solutions

    Given:-

    The volume of the cube is 4096 cm³, 

    Formula used:-

    The volume of a cube (V )= side length³   

    Calculation:-

    ⇒ (side length)³ = 4096   

    ⇒ side length = ∛4096 

    ⇒ side length = 16

    ∴ The length of the side of the cube is 16 cm.

  • Question 7/10
    3 / -0

    A hollow cylindrical iron pipe has internal and external radii of 14 m and 21 m, respectively, and its height of 14 m. If this pipe is to be painted all over, find the area to be painted.

    Solutions

    Given:

    The internal radius (r) of a hollow cylindrical pipe = 14 m

    External radius (R) = 21 m

    Height (h) = 14 m

    Formula Used:

    Total Surface area of the hollow cylinder = 2πRh + 2πrh + 2π(R2 - r2)

    Calculation:

    Total Surface Area = 2πRh + 2πrh + 2π(R2 - r2)

    ⇒ 2π ×  [h(R + r) + (R2 - r2)]

    ⇒ (44/7)[2 × 14(21 + 14) + (441 - 196)]

    ⇒ (44/7)[(14 × 35) + 245]

    ⇒ (44/7)[490 + 245]

    ⇒ 44 × 735/7

    ⇒ 44× 105

    ⇒ 4620

    Hence, the correct answer is 4620 m2.

  • Question 8/10
    3 / -0

    A tank contains 90 L mixture in which there is 20% alcohol. To make the solution to contain 40% of alcohol, the quantity of alcohol to be added in it is:

    Solutions

    Given:

    Original volume of mixture = 90L

    In 90L of mixture 20% alcohol

    Calculations:

    volume of the mixture is 90 litres. In which the quantity of alcohol is 20%

    ⇒ 90 × 20/100 = 18 liters

    We need 40% alcohol in the mixture.

    Here suppose you mix X litre alcohol in 90 litre mixture.

    Then the quantity of alcohol = 18 + X litres

    and the quantity of mixture = 90 + X litres.

    We need 40% of alcohol. So,

    ⇒ [(18 + X)/(90 + X)] × 100 = 40%

    ⇒ (18 + X)/(90 + X) = 40/100

    ⇒ (18 + X)/(90 + X) = 2/5

    ⇒ 90 + 5X = 180 + 2X

    ⇒ 5X – 2X = 180 – 90

    ⇒ 3X = 90

    ⇒ X = 90/3

    ⇒ X = 30

     we should add 30 litres of alcohol.

    Alternate method

    Initially alcohol = 20% of 90 = 18 litre and other  = 72 litre

    Final alcohol = 40% and other = 60%

    So, there is no change in other liquid

    60% = 72

    40% = 72 × 40/60 = 48 litre

    ∴ Extra quantity of alcohol = 48 - 18 = 30 litre

  • Question 9/10
    3 / -0

    How many positive factors of 36 are there?

    Solutions

    The factors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

    So there are total 9 positive factors of 36

  • Question 10/10
    3 / -0

    Surendra has a property having a certain value. He gives 60% of his property to his wife, 75% of the remaining property to his daughter, and the rest to a trust. If he gives property worth ₹6,00,000 to the trust, find the worth of the share of the property he gives to his daughter.

    Solutions

    Given:

    Wife gets = 60% of property

    Daughter gets = 75% of remaining property

    Trust gets = Rest of the property

    Calculation:

    Let, Property value = 100 units

    Wife gets = 60% of 100 = 60 units

    Daughter gets = 75% of (100 - 60) = 3/4 × 40 = 30 units

    Trust gets= (100 - (60 + 30)) 10 units

    According to the question,

    ⇒ 10 units = Rs. 6,00,000

    ⇒ 1 unit = 6,00,000/10 = Rs. 60,000 

    So, daughter gets = 60,000 × 30 = Rs. 18,00,000

    ∴ He gives his daughter Rs. 18,00,000 share of the property.
