  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    If the CP of 80 articles is equal to the SP of 100 articles for a shopkeeper, find his Profit/loss percentage.

    Solutions

    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%

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    A man sells one fifth of his goods at 50% profit and the remaining at 10% loss. Find his total profit/loss percentage.

    Solutions

    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%

     

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    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.

    Solutions

    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

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    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.

    Solutions

    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

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    If a2+b2+c2=2(a + c) – 2b – 3, find the value of a+2b+c.

    Solutions

    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

     

  • Question 6/10
    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.

    Solutions

    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

     

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0

    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.

    Solutions

    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

     

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0

    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?

    Solutions

    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.

     

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0

    If √3 cos x + sin x=1, find the value of x

    Solutions

    Put x=90°, √3 ×0+1=1

     

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0

    The adjacent angles A and B of a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD are 63° and 92°. Find the difference between the remaining two angles

    Solutions

    Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.

    A+C=180°

    C=117°

    B+D=180°

    D=88°

    C-D=29°
