Correct Answer: ? 120 and 662/3 yr
Explanation:
According to the question.
([P + (P x 6 x T)/100] - [P + (P x 1 x T)/100] = 600 - 200
? 5PT/100 = 400
? PT = 8000
Again, for 6% rate,
SI = PTR/100 = (8000 x 6)/100 = ? 480
? Sum = 600 - 480 = ? 120
As we have, PT = 8000
? T = 8000/120 = 200/3 = 662/3 yr
Correct Answer: 1000, 500
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Let us assume that Arun uses N units of petrol everyday. so the amount of of petrol in the tank when it is full will be 10N. If he starts using 25% more petrol everyday. then the units of petrol he now use everyday will be
N(1 + 25/100) = 1.25N
So, the number of days his petrol will now last will be equal to (amount of petrol in tank) / (number of units used everyday)
= (10N) / (1.25N) = 10 / 1.25
= 8 days
Correct Answer: 13.4
Explanation:
78.9 ÷ (343)1.7 x (49)4.8 = 7?
Apply the law of Fractional Exponents and Laws of Exponents
(am)(an) = am+n
am÷an=am?n
am/an=am?n
(am)n = amn
78.9 ÷ (343)1.7 x (49)4.8 = 7?
? 78.9 ÷ (73)1.7 x (72)4.8 = 7?
? 78.9 ÷ 75.1 x 79.6 = 7?
? 78.9 - 5.1 + 9.6 = 7?
? 718.5 - 5.1 = 7?
? ? = 13.4
Correct Answer: x2 - 6x - 16 = 0
Explanation:
Given that :- sum of the roots = 6
And Product of two roots = -16
The required quadratic equation is x2 ? (sum of the roots) x + (product of the roots) = 0
? x2 - 6x - 16 = 0
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
As per the given above question , we have
Let, x = 6 + ?6 + ?6 + ?6 +........
On squaring both sides, we have
x2 = 6 + ?6 + ?6 + ?6 +........
? x2 = 6 + x
? x2 - x - 6 = 0
? x2 - 3x + 2x - 6 = 0
? x( x - 3 ) + 2( x - 3 ) = 0
? ( x - 3 ) ( x + 2 ) = 0
? x = 3 and x ? ?2 because numbers are positive.
Thus , correct answer will be 3 .
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Given in the question ,
n(X ?Y) = 18, n(X) = 8, n(Y) = 15.
Using the formula
n(X ? Y) = n(X) + n(Y) ? n(X ? Y), we get n(X ? Y) = 8 + 15 ? 18 = 5.
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
Draw a figure and calculate.
Number of people speak English only
= 50 ? (10 + 25)
= 15
Correct Answer: {7}
Explanation:
A ? U = {2, 4, 7} ? {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
A ? U = {2, 4, 7};
B ? C = {3, 5, 7, 9, 11} ? {7, 8, 9, 10, 11}.
B ? C = {3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}.
Then (A ? U) ? (B ? C) = {2, 4, 7,} ? {3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11}
(A ? U) ? (B ? C) = {7}.
Correct Answer: 6.6
Explanation:
173.5 x 177.3 ÷ 174.2 = 17?
Apply the Laws of Exponents ::
(am) x (an) = am+n
Fractional Exponents ::
am÷ a n=am?n
? 173.5 + 7.3 - 4.2 = 17?
? 176.6 = 17?
? ? = 6.6
