- Rs. 1000
Explanation? P (1 - 10/100)3 = 729

Correct Answer: 46 min and 12s
Explanation:
The time which all the three persons meet will be the LCM of the time by each person individually to complete one round.
252 = 22 x 71 x 91
308 = 22 x 71 x 111
198 = 21 x 91 x 111
? LCM of 252, 308 and 198 = 22 x 71 x 91 x 111 = 2772
So,A,B and C will again meet at the starting point in 2772 i.e.,46 min and 12s.
Correct Answer: 44
Explanation:
HCF of 403,456 and 496 = 31
Now, the number of bottles required to put 403 L of petrol = 403/31 = 13
Similarly,the number of bottles required to put 456 L of diesel = 465/31 = 15
The number of bottles required to put 496 L of mobile oil = 496/31 = 16
? Least number of bottles required having 31 L as capacity = 13+15 + 16 = 44
Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
Minimum number of rows = Maximum number of trees in each row
= HCF of 30,45 and 60 = 15
? Number of rows = (30 + 45 + 60)/15 = 9
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Go through options.
Put m = 1 in two given expression,we have
x3 - 10x2 + 31x - 30 and x2 - 8x + 15
x2 - 8x + 15 = (x - 5) (x - 3)
x3 - 10x2 + 31x - 30 = (x - 2) (x - 5) (x - 3)
? (x - 5) (x - 3) = x2 - 8x + 15 is the HCF of both expressions.
? m = 1
Correct Answer: 168
Explanation:
Average will increase by 8 times.
So average of new members = (21 x 8 ) = 168
Correct Answer: 37.5
Explanation:
Sum of 50 member = (50 x 38 )
= 1900
Sum of 48 member = [1900- (45 + 55 ) ]
= 1800
? Required Average = 1800/48
= 225/6
= 37.5
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
Average height of the whole class = sum of height of 40 girls / 40
= (30 x 160 + 10 x 156) / 40
= 159 cms.
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Since a, b, c, d, e are 5 consecutive numbers so
b = a + 2.
c = a + 4.
d = a + 6.
e = a + 8.
Average = (a + b + c + d + e)/ 5
= [a + (a + 2 ) + (a +4 ) + (a+6 )+ (a+8)] / 5
= (5a+20) / 5
= a + 4
Correct Answer: 48, 24, 96
Explanation:
Let second number = x
So, first number = 2x and third number= 4x
? ( x + 2x + 4x ) / 3 = 56
? 7x = 168
? x = 24
So the numbers are 48,24, 96,
Correct Answer: 31kg
Explanation:
weight of (A + B ) = (2 X 40 ) Kg = 80 kg
weight of (B + C ) = (2 X 43) kg = 86 kg
weight of (A + 2B +C ) = (80 + 86) kg = 166 kg
weight of (A + B + C ) = (3 X 45) kg = 135 kg
weight of B = (166-135) kg = 31 kg
