    Solutions

    According to the question, Let the number of boys and girls be x and 2x respectively.
    => (x - 2)/(2x - 2) = 1/3
    => 3x - 6 = 2x - 2

    The simple interest accured on an amount of Rs. 22,500 at the end of four years is Rs. 10,800. What would be the compound interest accrued on the same amount at the same rate at the end of two years ?

    Solutions

    Rate of simple interest = (Interest × 100)/ (Principal × time)
    = (10800 x 100)/(22500 x 4) = 12%.
    Compound interest = Principal [ ( 1 + rate/100)^time - 1]
    = 22500[( 1 + 12/100)2 - 1]
    = 22500[( 1 + 3/25)2 - 1]
    = 22500[(28/25)2 - 1]

  • Question 30/35
    1 / -0

    If a man rows 4 km downstream in 3 hours and 2 km upstream in 2 hours then how long will he take to cover 8 km in stationary (still) water?

    Solutions

    Distance covered in downstream = 4 km
    Time taken in downstream = 3 hours.
    Rate of downstream = distance / time = a = 4km / 3 hours = 4/3 km/hr.
    Distance covered in upstream = 2 km
    Time taken in upstream = 2 hours.
    Rate of upstream = distance / time = b = 2 km / 2 hours = 1 km/hr.
    Speed in still water = (a + b)/2 = (1/2)(4/3 + 1) km/hr = (1/2)(4 + 3)/3 = 7/6 km/hr.
    Time Taken to cover 8 km in still water = distance / speed = 8 x 6/7 = 48 / 7 ≈ 7 hours.

    Area of a rectangle is equal to the area of the circle whose radius is 21 cms. If the length and the breadth of the rectangle are in the ratio of 14 : 11 respectively, what is its perimeter ?

    Solutions

    Given, Area of rectangle = Area of circle = 22/7 × 21 × 21 = 1386 sq. cm.
    Let the length and breadth of rectangle be 14x and 11x cm respectively. 
    Then,
    => 14x * 11x = 1386
    => x2 = 1386/(14 x 11) = 9
    .'. x = √9 = 3
    Hence, Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (14x + 11x) = 50x = 50 × 3 = 150 cm.

  • Question 32/35
    1 / -0

    A person has to travel from point A to point B in certain time. Travelling at a speed of 5km/hr he reaches 48 min late and while travelling at a speed of 8km/hr he reaches 15 min early. what is the distance from point A to B?

    Solutions

    Let the total distance be x km.
    Then difference in time = 63 min.
    x/5 - x/8 = 63/68.
    => (8x - 5x )/ 40 = 63/60
    => 3x = 63/60 x 40 
    => x = 42/3 = 14km

  • Question 33/35
    1 / -0

    28 men can complete a piece of work in 15 days and 15 women can complete the same piece of work in 24 days. What is the respective ratio between the amount of work done by 30 men in 1 day and amount of work done by 18 women in 1 day?

    Solutions

    Since, 28 men can complete a piece of work in 15 days.
    .'. 1 man can complete it in = 28 x 15 days
    30 men can complete it in = (28 x 15)/30 = 14 days.
    .'. 1 man 1 day work = 1/14
    Again, 
    Since, 15 women can complete the same piece od work in 24 days
    .'. 1 woman can complete it in = 24 x 15 days
    30 women can complete it in = (24 x 15)/24 = 20 days.
    .'. 1 man 1 day work = 1/20
    Required ratio = 1/14 : 1/20 = 20 : 14 = 10:7

    1 / -0

    The cost of five chairs and three tables is Rs. 3110. Cost of one chair is Rs. 210 less than cost of one table. What is the cost of two tables and two chairs?

    Solutions

    Suppose the cost of one chair = C and the cost of one table = T
    Then, 5C + 3T = 3110 .......(i)
    and, T - C = 210 
    On putting value of T in eq(i), we get :
    => 5C + 3(210 + C) = 3110
    => 5C + 630 + 3C = 3110
    => 8C = 3110 - 630
    => C = 2480/8 = Rs 310.
    .'.cost of one table(T) = 210 + 310 = Rs 520
    Hence, the cost of two tables and two chairs : 
    = 2T + 2C = 2 x 520 + 2 x 310 = 1040 + 620 = Rs 1660.

  • Question 35/35
    1 / -0

    The sum of 8 consecutive odd numbers is 656. Also average of four consecutive even number is 87. What is the sum of the smallest odd number and second largest even number ?

    Solutions

    Let the 8 consecutive odd numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, x + 8, x + 10, x + 12 and x + 14 respectively.
    Then, x + (x + 2) + ( x + 6) + ( x + 8) + (x + 10) + (x + 12) + ( x + 14) = 656
    => 8x + 56 = 656
    => x = 600/8 = 75

    smallest odd number = x = 75

    Let the 4 consecutive even numbers be y, y + 2, y + 4 and y + 6 respectively.
    Then, y + (y + 2) + ( y + 4) + ( y + 6) = 4 x 87.
    => 4y + 12 = 348
    => y = 336/4 = 84
    .'. Second largest even number = y + 4 = 84 + 4 = 88.

    Hence, required sum = 75 + 88 = 163.
