- Question
In a mens hostel, there were 95 students. To accommodate 30 more students the average is decreased by rupees 5. But total expenditure increased by Rs.500. Find the total expenditure of the hostel now ?
Options- A. Rs. 4680
- B. Rs. 4420
- C. Rs. 4960
- D. Rs. 5480
- Correct Answer
- Rs. 4680
ExplanationLet the expenditure on the 95 students be 'x'
Then,
95x + 500 = 120(x ? 5)
95x + 500 = 120x - 600
120x - 95x = 1100
25x = 1100
=> x = 44Therefore, total expenditure of the hostel becomes
95 x 44 + 500 = 4680. - 1. In the accompanying figure, AB is one of the diameters of the circle and OC is perpendicular to it through the centre O. If AC is 7?2 cm, then what is the area of the circle in cm 2?

Correct Answer: 154
Explanation:
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
Given Expression = 3120 ÷ 26 + 13 x 30
= 120 + 13 x 30
= 120 + 390
= 510
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
According to the fundamental to the fundamental formula
Average(A)= Sum (S) / Number(N)
From the question 60 = S / 13
? S = 60 x 13 = 780
Sum of first seven result = 59 x 7 = 413
Sum of last seven result = 61 x 7 = 427
? 7th result = (Sum of first seven result) + (Sum of last seven results) - (Sum of all the results)
= (413 + 427 - 780 )
= (840 - 780)
= 60
NoteSum of first seven when added to the sum of last seven result, then repetition of 7th result takes place.
Correct Answer: 39.5 %
Explanation:
Original area = (22/7) x 9 x 9 cm2
New area = (22/7) x 7 x 7 cm2
? Decrease = 22/7 x [(9)2 -(7)2] cm2
=(22/7) x 16 x 2 cm2
Decrease percent = [(22/7 x 16 x 2) /( 7/22 x 9 x 9)] x 100 %
= 39.5 %
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
27 x 1.2 x 5.5262 x 0.6
= 27 x [(12 - 1) / 9] x [(55262 - 5526)/9000] x (6/9)
= (27 x 11)/9 x (49736/9000) x (6/9)
= 1094192 / 9000
= 121.576888...
= 121.5768
Correct Answer: 290
Explanation:
Let the two numbers be P and Q.
According to given question,
Sum of two numbers = 24
? P + Q = 24 ...................... (1)
Product of two numbers = 143
and, PQ = 143 .......................... (2)
As we know the formula,
? P 2 + Q2 = (P + Q)2 ? 2PQ
Put the value from the equation (1) and (2), We will get
? P 2 + Q2 = (24)2 ? 2 × 143
? P 2 + Q2 = 576 ? 286 = 290
Correct Answer: 1/n[1 - (1 - p)n]
Explanation:
? Probability that no man out of n men aged x years will die in a year = (1 - p)n
? Probability that out of n men at least one will die in a year = 1 - (1 - p)n .
When at least one, man dies, any one out of the n men may be the first to die
Correct Answer: 0.902
Explanation:
Given Exp.
= log (57 x 100 / 100) + 3log(0.57) + 1/2log(0.57)
= log (0.57) + log 102 + 3log(0.57) +1/2log (0.57)
= (1 + 3 + 1/2) log(0.57) + 2 [? log102 = 2]
= (4.5 x 1.756) + 2 = 4.5 x (-1 + 0.756) + 2
= 3.402 - 4.5 + 2
= 0.902
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
(?)2 = ?132 + 28 / 4 - (3)3 + 107
= ?169 + 7 - 27 + 107
= ?256
= ?16
= 4
Correct Answer: 111/4
Explanation:
Let A takes x and B takes 3N days to finish the job.
According to the question,
3N - N = 30
? N = 30/2 = 15 days
? B's time to complete the work = 3N
= 3 x 15 = 45 days
? (A + B)'s 1 day's work
= (1/15) + (1/45) = (3 + 1)/45 = 4/45
? (A + B) will finish the work in 4/45 days
? Required time = 4/45 = 111/4
