Correct Answer: log 2
Explanation:
Given Exp. = log75/16 - 2 log5/9 + log32/343
= log [(25 x 3) / (4 x 4)] - log (25/81) + log [(16 x 2) / (81 x 3)]
= log(25 x 3) - log ( 4 x 4 ) - log(25) + log81 + log(16 x 2) -log (81 x 3)
= log 25 + log 3 - log 16 - log 25 + log 81 + log 16 + log 2 - log 81 - log 3
= log 2
Correct Answer: 0.6990
Explanation:
log 5 = log 10 /2 = log 10 - log 2
= 1 - 0.3010 = 0.6990
Correct Answer: 0.4471
Explanation:
log102.8 = log10(28/10)
= log 28 - log 10
= log (7 x 4 ) - log 10
= log 7 + 2 log 2 - log 10
= 0.8451 + 2 x 0.3010 - 1
= 0.8451 + 0.6020 - 1
= 0.4471
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
? Marked price of a shirt = ? 320
Discount on a shirt = 320 x 25/100 = ? 80
? Number of shirts has to be purchased to get a rebate of ? 400 = 400/80 = 5
Correct Answer: 10.5 Rupees

Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
? = 26.003 - 154.001 ÷ 6.995
= 26 - 154 ÷ 7 = 26 - 22 = 4
Correct Answer: 1000 / 301
Explanation:
log2 10 = log 10 / log 2
= 1 / log 2
= 1.0000 / 0.3010
= 1000 / 301
Correct Answer: 68
Explanation:
Let four consecutive even numbers are x, x+2, x+4, x+6.
According to the question
? x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 = 284
? 4x + 12 = 284
? 4x = 272
? x = 272 / 4 = 68
Correct Answer: 8 hours
Explanation:
Suppose the man covers first distance in x hrs. and second distance in y hrs.
Then , 4x + 5y = 35 and 5x +4y= 37
Solving these equation , we get
X=5 and y=3
Total time taken = (5+3) hrs= 8hrs
Correct Answer: Rs. 1020
Explanation:
| T.D. = | ❨ | B.G. x 100 | ❩ | = Rs. | ❨ | 270 x 100 | ❩ | = Rs. 750. |
| R x T | 12 x 3 |
∴ B.D. = Rs.(750 + 270) = Rs. 1020.
