  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    What will come in the place of the question mark ‘?’ in the following question?

    Solutions

    Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below,

    Step-1: Parts of an equation enclosed in the ‘BRACKETS’ must be solved first

    Step-2: Any mathematical ‘OF’ or ‘EXPONEMTS’ must be solved next

    Step-3: Next the part of the equation that contains ‘DIVISION; and ‘MULTIPLICATION’ are calculated

    Step-4: Last but not least, the parts of the equation that contains ‘ADDITION’ and ‘SUBTRACTION’ should be calculated

    Now, the given expression:

    ⇒7/19 of 1064 = (?)× 2

    ⇒ 7/19 × 1064 = (?)× 2

    ⇒ 392 = (?)2 × 2

    ⇒ 392 ÷ 2 = (?)2

    ⇒ 196 = (?)2

    ⇒ 14 = ?

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    What will come in the place of the question mark ‘?’ in the following question?

    253 × 43 × √810000 = ?2

    Solutions

    Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below,

    Step-1: Parts of an equation enclosed in the ‘BRACKETS’ must be solved first

    Step-2: Any mathematical ‘OF’ or ‘EXPONEMTS’ must be solved next

    Step-3: Next the part of the equation that contains ‘DIVISION; and ‘MULTIPLICATION’ are calculated

    Step-4: Last but not least, the parts of the equation that contains ‘ADDITION’ and ‘SUBTRACTION’ should be calculated

    Now, the given expression:

    ⇒ 253 × 43 × √810000 = ?2

    ⇒ (52)× (22)3 × 900 = (?)2

    ⇒ 5× 26 × 302 = (?)

    ⇒ 5× 23 × 30 = ?

    ⇒ 125 × 8 × 30 = ?

    ⇒ 30000 = ?

     

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    What approximate value should come in the place of question mark ‘?’ in the following question? (You are not expected to calculate the exact value)

    (269.88 ÷ 29.11 × 512 ÷ 31.75)0.5 =?

    Solutions

    (269.88 ÷ 29.11 × 512 ÷ 31.75)0.5

    Approximating values to the closest integers and solving

    = (270 ÷ 30 × 512 ÷ 32)0.5

    ⇒ (9 × 16)0.5 = 3 × 4

    = 12

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    4 litres of milk is removed from a 40 litre container of milk and it is then replaced with 4 litres of water. This procedure is repeated two more times. How much milk is now present in the container?

    Solutions

    Original quantity of milk in the container = 40 litres

    At first, the quantity of liquid removed from the container = 4 litres

    Quantity of milk left in the container after first procedure = 40 – 4 = 36 litres

    Let us try to write this quantity in terms of 40 litres to make it easier to do bigger calculations.

    = 29.16 litres

    ∴ Milk now present in the container is 29.16 litres

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 38 more than the average of these numbers. The second number is

    Solutions

    Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4

    We know,

    It is given that Sum of three consecutive numbers = Average + 38

    ⇒ x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = (x + 2) + 38

    ⇒ 2x + 4 = 38

    ⇒ 2x = 34

    ⇒ x = 17

    ⇒ x + 2 = 19

    ∴ The second number is 19

     

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0

    Rakesh thinks to make 48% profit after allowing a discount of 60% on the marked price, cost price of an article has to be increased by how much percentage?

    Solutions

    Let the cost price of an article be Rs. x.

    For 48% profit, sell price = cost price (1 + profit %) = Rs. x (1 + 0.48) = Rs. 1.48x

    But this sell price is obtained after 60% discount on Marked Price.

    Sell Price = Marked Price (1 − Discount %)

    ⇒ 1.48x = Marked Price (1 − 0.60)

    ⇒ Marked Price = 1.48x / 0.4 = 3.7x

    ∴ The object should be marked at 270% higher price.

     

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0

    In what ratio must a grocer mix two varieties of pulses costing Rs. 15 and Rs. 20 per kg respectively so as to get a mixture worth Rs. 16.50 per kg?

    Solutions

    Cost of 1 kg pulses of 1st quality = Cost price of cheaper = c = Rs. 15

    Cost of 1 kg pulses of 2nd quality = Cost price of dearer = d = Rs. 20

    Cost of 1 kg of the mixture = Mean price = m = Rs. 16.50

    By formula,

    ∴ The ratio of cheaper to dearer or 1st quality ∶ 2nd quality is 7 ∶ 3

     

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0

    Kamal can do a work in 20 days. Bimal is 20% more efficient than Kamal. Suresh is 25% more efficient than Bimal. The number of days, Suresh will take to do the same piece of work, is

    Solutions

    Number of days Kamal takes to complete a work = 20 days

    ∴ In 1 day Kamal can do = 1/20 part of work

    Given: Bimal is 20% more efficient than Kamal

    ∴ In 1 day Bimal can do = 1.2/20 part of work

    Given: Suresh is 25% more efficient than Bimal

     

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0

    1 metre broad pathway is to be constructed inside the boundary of a rectangular plot. The area of the plot is 114 sq. m. the cost of construction is Rs. 50 per sq. metre. Then find the total cost of production.

    Solutions

    Let ‘l’,’b’ be the length and breadth of the rectangular plot as shown in the figure.

    Area of 1 metre broad pathway = Area of outer rectangle – Area of inner rectangle

    ⇒ Area of 1 metre broad pathway = lb – (l – 2)(b – 2)

    ⇒ Area of 1 metre broad pathway = lb – lb + 2l + 2b – 4

    Area of 1 metre broad pathway = 2(l + b) – 4

    ∵ We don’t know the values of l and b, the given data is inadequate.

     

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0

    The distance between two stations ‘P’ and ‘Q’ is 138 km. A train starts from ‘P’ towards ‘Q’ and another from ‘Q’ to ‘P’ at the same time and they meet after 6 hours. The train travelling from ‘P’ to ‘Q’ is slower by 7 km/h compared to other train from ‘Q’ to ‘P’. What is the speed of the slower train?

    Solutions

    Let the speed of the slower train be ‘x’ km/h, then,

    Speed of the faster train = ‘x + 7’ km/h.

    The trains are moving in opposite directions, so the relative speed = x + (x + 7) km/h

    And, time taken = Distance/Speed


    ⇒ 2x + 7 = 138/6

    ⇒ 2x + 7 = 23

    ⇒ x = 16/2 = 8 km/h

    ∴ Speed of the slower train = 8 km/h.
