  • Question 1/10
    2 / -0.5

    The area enclosed between the circumferences of two concentric circles is 16π cm2 and their radii are in the ratio 5 ∶ 3. What is the area of the outer circle?

    Solutions

    Given:

    The area enclosed between the circumferences of two concentric circles = 16π cm2

    The ratio of their radii = 5 : 3

    Formula used:

    Area of circle = πr2

    Calculation:

    Let the radius be R = 5x and r = 3x

    According to the question

    ⇒ πR2 - πr2 = 16π

    ⇒ π(R2 - r2) = 16π

    ⇒ R2 - r2 = 16

    ⇒ (5x)2 - (3x)2 = 16

    ⇒ 25x2 - 9x2 = 16

    ⇒ 16x2 = 16

    ⇒ x = 1

    Now, outer circle R = 5x = (5 × 1) = 5 cm

    The area of outer circle = π(5)2 = 25π cm2

    ∴ The required area is 25π cm2

    Given:

    A train covers a certain distance at a speed of 80 km/h in 6 hours

    Formula Used:

    Hence, The speed of the train to cover the same distance in 5 hours is 96 km/h.

  • Question 3/10

    In an election, the winning candidate received 15744 votes, which are 48% of the electorate. The only other candidate received 22% of the electorate. What is the number of members who did NOT vote?

    Solutions

    Given:

    The winning candidate received 15744 votes, which is 48% of the electorate.

    The only other candidate received 22% of the electorate.

    Calculations:

    Let the total votes be x

    According to the question,

    48% of x = 15744

    ⇒ x = (15744/48) × 100

    ⇒ x = 32800

    Now votes received by other candidates

    22% of 32800

    ⇒ 22 × 328 = 7216 votes

    Total votes received = 15744 + 7216 = 22960

    No. of people did not voted = 32800 - 22960 = 9840

    ∴ The number of members who did NOT vote is 9840.

  • Question 4/10

    Amit, Bipin and Kaithi can complete a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. If Bipin and Kaithi help Amit every third day, in how many days can Amit complete the work?

    Solutions

    Given:

    Amit, Bipin and Kaithi can complete a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days

    Concept used:

    Total work = Efficiency of the workers × time taken by them

    Calculation:

    LCM of 20, 30, and 60 is 60 i.e total work

    Efficiency of Amit = 60/20 = 3 units/day

    Efficiency of Bipin = 60/30 = 2 units/day

    Efficiency of Kaithi = 60/60 = 1 units/day

    Now,

    1st two days only Amit works

    So, amount of work done = 6 units

    3rd day Bipin and Kaithi join

    So, total work on 3rd day = 3 + 2 + 1

    ⇒ 6 units

    So,

    In 3 days total 12 units of work is completed

    So, effective efficiency = 12/3 = 4 units/day

    Time = 60/4 = 15 days

    ∴ Required answer is 15 days.

    Manish buys an old car for Rs. 5,300 and spend Rs. 1,000 on its repairs. If he sells the car for Rs. 7,000, his gain percent is:

    Solutions

    Given:

    Manish buys an old car for Rs. 5,300 and spend Rs. 1,000 on its repairs

    His selling price = Rs. 7000

    Concept used:

    Profit = Selling price - cost price

    Profit% = (Profit/Cost price) × 100

    Calculation:

    His net cost price = 5300 + 1000

    ⇒ Rs. 6300

    Now,

    His profit = 7000 - 6300

    ⇒ Rs. 700

    Profit % = (700/6300) × 100

  • Question 6/10

    Three persons P, Q and R rent a piece of land to graze their cows. P grazes 15 cows for 4 months, Q grazes 21 cows for 3 months and R grazes 24 cows for 5 months. If the rent of the land for a year is Rs. 3240, then how much money will P give as the rent?

    Solutions

    GIVEN:

    P grazes 15 cows for 4 months, Q grazes 21 cows for 3 months and R grazes 24 cows for 5 months.

    Rent for a year = Rs. 3240

    CONCEPT:

    Rent will be shared according to the number of cows and time for which the cows graze.

    CALCULATION:

    According to the given data:

    Ratio in which the rent will be shared among P, Q and R

    = (15 × 4) : (21 × 3) : (24 × 5)

    = 60 : 63 : 120

    = 20 : 21 : 40

    Hence,

    State A has witnessed two times increase in 2019 and 2020

    State M has witnessed two times increase in 2019 and 2020

    State K has witnessed two times increase in 2020 and 2021

  • Question 8/10

    The marked price of an article is Rs. 550. It is sold for Rs. 428.45 after giving two successive discounts of 18% and x% on the marked price. What is the value of 2x?

    Solutions

    Given:

    Marked Price = Rs. 550

    It is sold for Rs. 428.45 after giving two successive discounts of 18% and x% on the marked price. 

    Concept used:

    Selling price = Marked Price - Marked Price × Discount%

    Calculation:

    After giving the first 18% discount the price becomes

    ⇒ 550 - 550 × 18%

    ⇒ 550 - 99

    ⇒ Rs. 451

    According to the question,

    451 - 451 × x% = 428.45

    ⇒ 451 × x% = 451 - 428.45

    ⇒ 451 × x% = 22.55

    ⇒ x% = 22.55/451

    ⇒ x = 0.05 × 100

    ⇒ x = 5

    Now, 2x = 2 × 5

    ⇒ 10

    ∴ The value of 2x is 10.

    The following pie chart shows the spending of a country on tourism in various states during the year 2012. Total spending of the country = Rs. 49,62,000

    ...view full instructions


    The amount spent on state together D1 and D4 exceeds that spent on together D2 and D7 by:

    Solutions

    Calculation:

    Total % of D1 and D4 = 12 + 14

    ⇒ 26%

    Total % of D2 and D7 = 11 + 11

    ⇒ 22%

    Difference = 26% - 22%

    ⇒ 4%

    Difference in amount = 4962000 × 4%

    ⇒ 198480

    ∴ The required answer is Rs. 1,98,480.
