  • Question 1/10
    2 / -0.5

    The population of 7 villages is shown in the following pie chart.

    What is the difference between the population of village D & E, if the total population of the all the villages is 60000?

    Solutions

    Calculation:

    ⇒ Total population of all the villages = 60000

    ⇒ Population of village D = 60000 × 17/100 = 10200

    ⇒ Population of village E= 60000 × 18/100 = 10800

    ⇒ Difference between the population of village D & E = 10800 – 10200 = 600

    Therefore, the difference between the population of village D & E is 600.

  • Question 2/10
    2 / -0.5

    ΔXYZ is right angled at Y. If ∠Z = 60° and ZX = 9√3 cm.What is the length (in cm) of YZ?

    Solutions

    Given:

    ZX(hypotenuse) = 9√3 cm

    We know that, cosθ = base/hypotenuse

    ⇒ cos60° = YZ/ZX

    ⇒ 1/2 = YZ/9√3

    ∴ YZ = 9√3/2 cm

  • Question 3/10
    2 / -0.5

    A and B together can complete of the work in 30 days. How long will B alone take to complete the whole work?

    Solutions

    Given:

    So, they do the total work  in  (24 / 5 ) × 5 = 24 days

     A + B together 1 day's work = 1 / 24

    Again,

    A  alone completes 3/4 of the work in 30 days.

    So, A does the total work  in  30 × (4 / 3 )  = 40 days

    A's 1 day's work will be = 1 / 40

    B's 1 day's work will be = (1 /24) - (1 / 40)

    ⇒ 2 /120

    ⇒ 1 / 60

    ∴ B can do the whole work in 60 days.

    Alternate Method

    Calculation:

    So, they do the total work  in  (24 / 5 ) × 5 = 24 days

    Again,

    A  alone completes 3/4 of the work in 30 days.

    So, A does the total work  in  30 × (4 / 3 )  = 40 days

    Let total work be 120 units ( LCM of 24 and 40)

    So, the efficiency of A + B = 120 / 24

    ⇒ 5  units

    Efficiency of A = 120 / 40

    ⇒ 3  units

    Efficiency of B = 5 - 3

    ⇒ 2 units

    Total work = 120 units 

    Time taken to complete total work by B 

    ⇒ 120/2 = 60 days

    ∴ B can do the whole work in 60 days.

  • Question 4/10
    2 / -0.5

    Simplify.

    325 + 276 ÷ [150 − {9 × 9 + (83 − 4 × 15)}]

    Solutions

    Concept used:

    Calculation:

    325 + 276 ÷ [150 − {9 × 9 + (83 − 4 × 15)}]

    ⇒ 325 + 276 ÷ [150 − {9 × 9 + 23}]

    ⇒ 325 + 276 ÷ [150 − 104]

    ⇒ 325 + 276 ÷ 46

    ⇒ 325 + 6 = 331

  • Question 5/10
    2 / -0.5

    Four friends A, B, C and D made investments in a business in the ratio 3 ∶ 7 ∶ 9 ∶ 13, respectively. If the share of the profit of C is Rs. 8,910, then what is the total share of the profits of A and B?

    Solutions

    Given:

    Four friends A, B, C and D made investments in a business in the ratio 3 ∶ 7 ∶ 9 ∶ 13, respectively. 

    The share of the profit of C is Rs. 8,910.

    Concept used:

    Profit is shared in the ratio of the investment of partners.

    Calculation:

    Let the total profit be P.

    According to the question,

    P × 9/(3 + 7 + 9 + 13) = 8910

    ⇒ P = (8910 × 32)/9 = 31,680

    Now, the total share of the profits of A and B

    ∴ The total share of the profits of A and B is Rs. 9,900.

  • Question 6/10
    2 / -0.5

    The income of A is 30% less than the income of B and the income of B is 137.5% more than that of C. If the income of A is Rs. 28500 less than that of B, then the income (in Rs.) of C is:

    Solutions

    Given:

    The income of A = 30% less than the income of B

    The income of B = 137.5% more than that of C

    Income of A = Rs. 28500 less than that of B

    Calculation:

    Let the income of A be Rs. A, B be Rs. B and C be Rs. C respectively

    Income of B is 137.5% more than that of C 

    ⇒ B = C × (100 + 137.5)/100

    ⇒ B = C × (2375/1000)

    ⇒ B = Rs. 19C/8 ......(1)

    Income of A is 30% less than the income of B

    ⇒ A = B × (100 – 30)/100

    ⇒ A = B × 70/100

    Substituting the value of B in equation (1)

    ⇒ A = (19C/8) × 7/10

    ⇒ A = 133C/80 .......(2)

    Difference between B's income and A's income = Rs. 28500

    ⇒ B – A = 28500

    Substituting the values of A and B from equation (1) and (2)

    ⇒ 19C/8 – 133C/80 = 28500

    ⇒ (190C – 133C)/80 = 28500

    ⇒ 57C/80 = 28500

    ⇒ C = (28500 × 80)/57

    ⇒ C = 500 × 80

    ⇒ C = Rs. 40000

    ∴ The income of C is Rs. 40000

    Alternate Method

    137.5% = 100% + 37.5% = 1 + 3/8 = 11/8

    Let income of C be 8

    Then, income of B = 19

    Income of A is 30% less than the income of B,

    ⇒30/100 × 19 = 5.7

    Thus, Income of A = 19 - 5.7 = 13.3

    Difference of incomes of A and B = 5.7

    Actual Difference = 28500

    5.7-----------28500

    1-----------5000

    ∴ Income of C = 5000 × 8 = Rs. 40,000

  • Question 7/10
    2 / -0.5

    An article was sold at a gain of 16%. If it had been sold for Rs. 36 more, the gain would have been 20%. The cost price of the article is

    Solutions

    Let cost price of the article be Rs. x, then

    According to the question

    120x/100 – 116x/100 = 36

    ⇒ (120x – 116x)/100 = 36

    ⇒ 4x/100 = 36

    ∴ x = 900

    Short Trick:

    Let cost price of the article be 100%

    20% - 16% = 36

    ⇒ 4% = 36

    ⇒ 1% = 9

    ∴ 100% = 900

  • Question 8/10
    2 / -0.5

    What will be the HCF of the following set of numbers: 30, 45, 150, ?

    Solutions

    Given:

    The set of numbers is 30, 45, 150.

    Formula:

    Highest Common Factor (HCF) is the largest number that divides each of the given numbers.

    Calculation:

    The factors of 30 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30.

    The factors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45.

    The factors of 150 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75, 150.

    The common factors of 30, 45, and 150 are 1, 3, 5, 15.

    HCF = 15

    Therefore, the HCF of the numbers 30, 45, and 150 is 15.

  • Question 9/10
    2 / -0.5

    A right circular cylinder is partially filled with water. Two iron spherical balls are completely immersed in the water so that the height of the water in the cylinder rises by 4 cm. If the radius of one ball is half of the other and the diameter of the cylinder is 18 cm, then the radii of the spherical balls are:

    Solutions

    Let the radii of the spherical balls be r cm and r/2 cm.

    Radius of the cylinder R = 18/2 = 9 cm.

    According to the question

    (4/3) π [r3 + (r/2)3] = π R2 h

    ⇒ (4/3) [r3 + r3/8] = 9 × 9 × 4

    ⇒ 9r3/8 = 9 × 9 × 3

    ⇒ r3 = 9 × 3 × 8

    ⇒ r = ∛[3 × 3 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 2]

    ⇒ r = 3 × 2

    ⇒ r = 6 cm

    ⇒ r/2 = 3 cm

    So, radii of the cylinder are 3 cm and 6 cm.

  • Question 10/10
    2 / -0.5

    A takes 2 hours more than B to cover a distance of 40 km. If A doubles his speed, he takes  hour more than B to cover 80 km. To cover a distance of 120 km, how much time (in hours) will B take travelling at his same speed?

    Solutions

    Alternate Method

    Shortcut Trick

    Let, time taken by B = t hours and, A = t + 2

    Now, the speed of B = 40/t kmph and the speed of A = 40/(t + 2) kmph

    We know, Distance = Speed × time

    To travel a distance of 80 km A doubles his speed

    Time taken by A to cover  40 km distance = t + 2 hours, where t is the time taken by B to cover the distance.

    Time taken by A to cover the 40 km distance when its speed is double = Time taken to cover 80 km distance/2 = (2t + 3/2)/2 = t + 3/4

    Distance = (S1 × S2)/(S1 - S2) [Time difference]

    Here, S1 = x, S2 = 2x (For A)

    40 = 2x × x/(2x - x)[t + 2 - t - 3/4]

    Now B takes 1/2 hours to cover 40 km

    ⇒ 40 = 2x(5/4)

    ⇒ x = 16

    Actual time taken by A = 40/16 = 2.5 hours

    Actual time taken by B = 2.5 -  2 = 0.5 hour

    Speed of B = 40/0.5 = 80 km/h

    Required time taken by B = 120/80 = 3/2 hours

    Traditional method:

    Given:

    A takes 2 hours more than B to cover a distance of 40 km

    When A doubles his speed, he takes 1.5 hours more than B to travel 80 km

    Concept used:

    Distance = Speed × Time

    Calculation:

    Let The speed B be x km/h.

    Time taken by B to cover 40km = 40/x hour

    Time taken by A to cover 40km = [(40/x) + 2] hour

    Speed of A = (40)/[(40 + 2)/x] kmph

    ⇒ (20x)/(20 + x) kmph ……… (1)

    Now,

    Time taken by B to cover 80 km = 80/x hour

    When A doubles his speed = (40x)/(20 + x) kmph

    Time taken by A to cover 80 km = 80/(40x)/(20 + x)

    ⇒ (40 + 2x)/x hour

    Now in this case,

    A takes 1.5 hour more than B to travel 80 km

    So,

    ⇒ (40 + 2x)/x - 80/x = 3/2

    ⇒ (40 + 2x - 80)/x = 3/2

    ⇒ 4x - 80 = 3x

    ⇒ x = 80

    So,

    Speed of B is 80 kmph.

    Now,

    To cover a distance of 120 km, B will take

    ⇒ 120/80 = 1.5 hours

     To cover a distance of 120 km, B will take 1.5 hours.
