  • Question 9/35
    1 / -0

    What will come in place of question mark (?) in the following equations?

    24.25 × 108 – 128 × 7 = ? % of 1723

    Solutions

    As we know that BODMAS is used of simplifying a mathematical problem.

    According to BODMAS first we have to solve ‘brackets’ followed by ‘of’ then ‘division’ then ‘multiplication’ and later ‘addition’, ‘subtraction’.

    L.H.S

    24.25 × 108 - 128 × 7

    Now, 2619 – 896 = 1723

    R.H.S

    Let ‘x’ be the final answer

    (x/100) × 1723

    Now, cross multiplying to find ‘x’

    x = (1723 × 100)/1723 = 100

     

  • Question 10/35

    What will come in place of question mark (?) in following questions?

     

    Solutions

     

  • Question 11/35
    1 / -0

    For the equation 2a + 3 = 4a + 2 – 48, find a.

    Solutions

    2a + 3 = 4a + 2 – 48

    ⇒ 2a + 3 = 22a + 4 – 48

    ⇒ 22a + 4 – 2a + 3 = 48

    ⇒ 2a + 3(2a + 1 – 1) = 48

    Using option,

    Put a = 0;

    ⇒ 8(1) = 8 which is not equal to 48, thus rejected.

    Put a = 1;

    ⇒ 16(3) = 48 which is equal to 48, thus accepted.

    Put a = 2;

    ⇒ 32(7) = 224 which is not equal to 48, thus rejected.

    Put a = 4;

    ⇒ 64(15) = 960 which is not equal to 48, thus rejected.

    ∴ a = 1

     

  • Question 12/35
    1 / -0

    In the following question two equations are given. You have to solve these equations and determine relation between x and y.

    I. x2 – 21x + 104 = 0

    II. y2 – 5y – 24 = 0

    Solutions

    I. x2 – 21x + 104 = 0

    ⇒ x2 – 13x – 8x + 104 = 0

    ⇒ x(x – 13) – 8(x – 13) = 0

    ⇒ (x – 13)(x – 8) = 0

    Then, x = + 13 or x = + 8

    II. y2 – 5y – 24 = 0

    ⇒ y2 – 8y + 3y – 24 = 0

    ⇒ y(y – 8) + 3(y – 8) = 0

    ⇒ (y – 8)(y + 3) = 0

    Then, y = + 8 or y = - 3

    So, when x = + 13, x > y for y = + 8 and x > y for y = - 3

    And when x = + 8, x = y for y = + 8 and x > y for y = - 3

    ∴ So, we can observe that x ≥ y.

     

  • Question 13/35
    1 / -0

    In the following question two equations are given. You have to solve these equations and determine relation between x and y.

    I. x2 – 7x – 144 = 0

  • Question 14/35
    1 / -0

    In the following question two equations are given. You have to solve these equations and determine relation between x and y.

    I. x2 + 21x – 72 = 0

    II. y2 – 12y + 27 = 0

    Solutions

    I. x2 + 21x – 72 = 0

    ⇒ x2 + 24x – 3x – 72 = 0

    ⇒ x(x + 24) – 3(x + 24) = 0

    ⇒ (x + 24)(x – 3) = 0

    Then, x = - 24 or x = + 3

    II. y2 – 12y + 27 = 0

    ⇒ y2 – 9y – 3y + 27 = 0

    ⇒ y(y – 9) – 3(y – 9) = 0

    ⇒ (y – 9)(y – 3) = 0

    Then, y = + 9 or y = + 3

    So, when x = - 24, x < y for y = + 9 and x < y for y = + 3

    And when x = + 3, x < y for y = + 9 and x = y for y = + 3

    ∴ So, we can observe that x ≤ y.

     

  • Question 15/35
    1 / -0

    In the following question two equations are given. You have to solve these equations and determine relation between x and y.

    I. x2 – 15x – 184 = 0

    II. y2 + 24y + 135 = 0

    Solutions

    I. x2 – 15x – 184 = 0

    ⇒ x2 – 23x + 8x – 184 = 0

    ⇒ x(x – 23) + 8(x – 23) = 0

    ⇒ (x – 23)(x + 8) = 0

    Then, x = + 23 or x = - 8

    II. y2 + 24y + 135 = 0

    ⇒ y2 + 15y + 9y + 135 = 0

    ⇒ y(y + 15) + 9(y + 15) = 0

    ⇒ (y + 15)(y + 9) = 0

    Then, y = - 15 or y = - 9

    So, when x = + 23, x > y for y = - 15 and x > y for y = - 9

    And when x = - 8, x > y for y = - 15 and x > y for y = - 9

    ∴ So, we can observe that x > y.

     

  • Question 16/35

    Solutions

    The pattern of the given number series is as:

    ⇒1788

    ⇒ (1788/2) – 2 = 894 – 2 = 892

    ⇒ (892/2) – 2 = 446 – 2 = 444

    ⇒ (444/2) – 2 = 222 – 2 = 220

    ⇒ (220/2) – 2 = 110 – 2 = 108

    ⇒ (108/2) – 2 = 54 – 2 = 52

    ⇒ (52/2) – 2 = 26 – 2 = 24

    Hence, the wrong term of the given number series is 112. The correct term is 108.

    The boys and girls in a college are in the ratio 7 : 5. If 35% of the boys and 60% of girls are in the dance society. Find the percentage of students who are not in the dance society.

    Solutions

    Let the number of boys be 7x and girls be 5x

    Number of boys who are not in dance society = 65% of 7x = 4.55x

    Number of girls who are not in dance society = 40% of 5x = 2x

    ∴ Required percentage = {(4.55x + 2x)/12x} × 100 = 54.58%

     

  • Question 22/35
    1 / -0

    Five years ago, the average age of Raj and Shruti was 25 years. While Ram joining them now, the average becomes 29 years. What is the current age of Ram?

    Solutions

    Five years ago,

    ⇒ Sum of Age of Raj and Shruti = 25 × 2 = 50            [∵ Sum of quantity = Average × No. of quantity]

    ⇒ Sum of present age of Raj and Shruti = 50 + 10 = 60

    ⇒ Sum of present age of Raj, Shruti and Ram = 29 × 3 = 87

    ∴ Present age of Ram = 87 - 60 = 27 years

     

  • Question 23/35
    1 / -0

    Shopkeeper Claims that he is selling flour at Rs. 30 per kg which cost him Rs. 35. But he is giving 750 gm instead of 1 kg. Percentage of profit or loss is....

    Solutions

    ⇒ Cost price of 1 kg of flour = Rs. 35

    For 1 kg, he weighs only 750 grams

    ⇒ Cost price of 750 gram of flour = Rs. (35/1000) × 750 = Rs. 26.25

    ⇒ Selling price of 750gm of flour = Rs. 30

    ∴ Profit percentage = {(30 – 26.25) /26.25} × 100 = 14.286%

     

  • Question 24/35

    When the wire is bent in the shape of the square, then the total length of the wire is equal to the perimeter of the square

    Let us consider the side of the square = ‘x’

    ⇒ Perimeter of the square = 4x

    ⇒ 4x = 88

    ⇒ x = 88/4

    ⇒ 22 cms

    ⇒ Area of the square = side × side

    ⇒ 22 × 22 = 484 cm2

    ∴ Area = 484 cm2

     

  • Question 26/35

  • Question 29/35
    1 / -0

    Divya buys 35 apples from a shopkeeper at a rate of Rs. 1.25 per apple. She sells it to Meha at a profit of 15%. However Meha herself eats 7 apples. Still after selling those apples, she gains a profit of 20%. For how much does Meha sell each apple?

    Solutions

    SP = CP(1 + Profit%)

    Where, CP = cost price

    SP = Selling Price

    For Divya, CP = 35 × 1.25 = Rs. 43.75, Profit = 15%

    ∴ SP = 43.75 (1 + 0.15) = 43.75 × 1.15 = Rs. 50.3125 for 35 apples

    For Meha, CP = Rs. 50.3125 for 35 apples

    She eats 7 apples.

    ∴ She has 28 apples now.

    Profit % = 20%

    ∴ SP = 50.3125(1 + 0.2) = Rs. 60.375 for 28 apples.

    ∴ Mehak sells each banana at a price of Rs. 2.156.

     

  • Question 30/35
    1 / -0

    A 600 – metre-long train crosses a pole in 16 seconds. The length of a platform is equal to the distance covered by the train in 24 seconds. A man crosses the same platform in 6 minutes and 15 seconds. What is the speed of the main in metre/second?

    Solutions

    We know that,

    Speed = Distance/Time

    Speed of the train = 600/16 = 37.5 m/sec

    Length of the platform = 37.5 × 24 = 900 m

    7 minutes and 5 seconds = (6 × 60) + 15 = 375 sec    (∵ 1 min = 60 sec)

    ∴ Speed of man = 900/375 = 2.4 m/sec

     

  • Question 31/35
    1 / -0

    A tree increases annually by 1/8 th of its height. What will be its height after 2 years, if its height today is 64 cm?

    Solutions

    Given, present height of the tree = 64 cm

    The height of the tree increases by 1/8 th every year.

    After 1st year

    Height of tree = 64 + 1/8 of 64

    ⇒ Height of tree = 64 + 8 = 72 cm

    After 2nd year

    Height of tree = 72 + 1/8 of 72

    ⇒ Height of tree 72 + 9 = 81 cm

    Another approach, it can be considered a CI problem:

    Principal (initial height) = 64 cm, rate = 1/8 × 100 % = 12.5 %, t= 2 years, A= final height

    For CI:

    Where,

    A is the length at the end of time t,

    P is the height at the starting of the time,

    t is time in years.

    r is growth rate in percent

    ⇒ Final height = 64 × 1.1252

    ⇒ Final height = 64 × 1.265625 = 81 cm.

    A worker travelled a distance of 56 km in 12 hours. He travelled partly on foot at the rate 4 km/hr and partly on bicycle at the rate 8 km/hr. The distance travelled on foot is

    Solutions

    Let the Distance travelled by worker on foot = x km

    ∴ Distance covered by cycle = (56 - x) km.

    Time = Distance/Speed

    According to the question,

    x/4 + (56 – x)/8 = 12

    ⇒ (2x + 56– x)/8 = 12

    ⇒ x + 56 = 12 × 8 = 96

    ⇒ x = 96 – 56 = 40

    ⇒ x = 40 km.

     

  • Question 34/35
    1 / -0

    If three dice are thrown simultaneously, then the probability of getting a score of 5 is

    Solutions

    Total number of possible outcomes when three dice are thrown simultaneously = 6 × 6 × 6 = 216

    Three numbers add up to 5  numbers can constitute the following sets: {1, 1, 3} or {1, 2, 2}

    [No die can show more than 3 and less than 1 for the three numbers to add up to 5]

    {1, 1, 3} can be rearranged in 3 ways as (1, 1, 3), (1, 3, 1) and (3, 1, 1)

    {1, 2, 2} can be rearranged in 3 ways as (1, 2, 2), (2, 1, 2) and (2, 2, 1)

    So, total number of ways in which three numbers on dice add up to 5 is 6.

    ∴ The required probability = 6/216 = 1/36

     

  • Question 35/35
    1 / -0

    1200 ml of mixture contains milk and water in the ratio of 5 : 3. What amount of water should be added to make the ratio 5 : 4?

    Solutions

    1200 ml mixture contains milk and water in ratio of 5:3

    ∴ Amount of milk in mixture =

    ∴ Amount of water in mixture = 1200 – 750 = 450 ml

    Let’s assume that ‘x’ ml of water is added to 1200 ml of mixture so that the ratio of milk to water becomes 5:4. The total amount of milk does not change.

    Total amount of water = 450 + x

    ∵ the required ratio of milk to water is 5:4,

    ⇒ 4 × (750) = 5 × (450 + x)

    ⇒ 3000 = 2250 + 5x

    ⇒ 750 = 5x

    ⇒ x = 750/5 = 150 ml.

    ∴ 150 ml of water has to be added.
