If the CP of 80 articles is equal to the SP of 100 articles for a shopkeeper, find his Profit/loss percentage.
Let CP of 1 article be x
CP of 80 articles=80x
Let SP of 1 article=y
SP of 100 articles=100y
80x=100y
Y=0.8x
SP of 80 articles = 64x
SP<CP. So, loss occurs
Loss percentage = 16x×100/80x
=20%
A man sells one fifth of his goods at 50% profit and the remaining at 10% loss. Find his total profit/loss percentage.
Let the whole goods be worth x
CP of 1/5th of goods=x/5
SP of 1/5th of goods=1.5×x/5
=0.3x
CP of Remaining goods =4x/5
SP of them=0.9×4x/5
=0.72x
Total SP=1.02x
CP=1x
So, profit=2%
In a class of 50 people, the average weight of total boys is 25.5kg while that of girls is 25kg. If the average weight of the total students of the class is 25.26 kg, find the ratio of number of boys to girls in the class.
Let the number of boys be x.
Number of girls=50-x
Average weight =Total weight/Number of people
SO, total weight of class=25.26×50 = 1263
25.5×x+25(50-x) = 1263
0.5x + 1250 = 1263
0.5x = 13
X = 26
Number of girls = 50 – 26 = 24
Ratio of boys to girls = 13 : 12
If the ratio of two numbers is 11 : 7, find the ratio of the difference of the two numbers to the sum of the two numbers.
Let the two numbers be x and y
x/y = 11/7
Applying componendo dividendo,
(X+y)/(x-y) = (11+7)/(11-7)
=18/4
=9/2
Required ratio is the reciprocal of this one
=2 : 9
If a2+b2+c2=2(a + c) – 2b – 3, find the value of a+2b+c.
a2+b2+c2 – 2a + 2b – 2c + 3 = 0
a2 – 2a + 1 + b2 + 2b + 1 + c2 – 2c + 1 = 0
(a-1)2 + (b + 1)2 + (c – 1)2 = 0
So, a = 1, b = -1, c = 1
a + 2b + c = 1 – 2 + 1 = 0
The area of an equilateral triangle is 441√3 sq.units. Find the length of any of the median drawn from a vertex to the opposite side.
Area of equilateral triangle = (1/2) ×a × (√3a/2)= √3a2/4(where √3a/2 is the altitude of the triangle)
In an equilateral triangle, altitude = median
So, median= √3a/2
√3a2/4=441√3
Solving, we get a=(441×4)0.5
A=21×2=42
So, median length=√3×42/2 = 21√3 units
From a solution of 40 liters containing only milk and water, 60% of the milk and 40% of the water are taken out. If the container is 55% full after the removal of these two, find the initial ratio of milk to that of water in the container.
Let quantity of in initial solution = x
Water =40 – x
55% of the container is full after the removal as said above
So, 45% of the solution has been removed.
45% of 40 = 18 l
0.6x+0.4(40 – x) = 18
0.2x + 16 = 18
0.2x = 2
X = 10
So, milk in initial solution = 10 l
Water in initial solution = 30 l
Ratio = 1 : 3
5 men or 4 women can finish a wooden tool in 40 days. In how many days can 2 men and 4 women working together complete finishing 7 tools?
5 men can finish work in 40 days
So, 1 man can finish in 200 days
Similarly, 1 woman can finish in 160 days
2 men and 4 women work together.
Work done by them in one day=2/200+4/160=1/100+1/40
=2/200+5/200
=7/200
So, they can finish a tool in 200/7 days.
So, 7 tools can be finished in 200 days.
If √3 cos x + sin x=1, find the value of x
Put x=90°, √3 ×0+1=1
The adjacent angles A and B of a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD are 63° and 92°. Find the difference between the remaining two angles
Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.
A+C=180°
C=117°
B+D=180°
D=88°
C-D=29°
