Correct Answer: 10 yr
Explanation:
Let sum be P.
? 50% of P = P/2 = SI
Now, P/2 = (P x 5 x T) / 100 [ as time = 10 yr]
? P/2 = 5PT / 100
? 1/2 = T/20
? = T = 10 yr
Correct Answer: 10.25%
Explanation:
Increase in circumference of circle = 5%
? Increase in radius is also 5%.
Now, increase in area of circle = 2a + (a2/100) %
Where, a = increase in radius= 2 x 5 + (5 x 5)/100 % = 10.25%
Correct Answer: 64
Explanation:
Let the number of failed student = Y
? Number of passed student = 80 - Y
sum of marks of all students = sum of marks of passed students + sum of marks of failed students
80 x 40 = (80 - Y) x 60 + 35Y
? 3200 =4800 - 60Y + 35Y
? 25Y = 1600
? Y = 64
? Number of students who failed = 64
Correct Answer: 98
Explanation:
2 men = 7 boys
? 1 man = 7/2 days
5 women = 7 boys
? 1 women = 7/5 boys
7 men + 5 women + 2 boys = 7 x 7/2 + 5 x 7/5 + 2 = 67/2 boys
Now, B1 x D1 = B2 x D2
7 X 469 = 67/2 x D2
D2 = 98 days
Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
Let the value for ? be N
So N x 9 x 7 x 3 = a number with unit digit 1.
Clearly, the minimum value of N is 9.
Correct Answer: 300
Explanation:
Given expression = [(272 - 32) (124 + 176)] / (17 x 15 - 15)
= (240 x 300 ) / 240
= 300
Correct Answer: 11
Explanation:
Average = (8 + 9 + 12 + 13 + 15 + 9)/6
= 66 / 6
= 11
Correct Answer: 6 seconds
Explanation:
? Relative speed of the train = 60 + 6 = 66 km/hr
= 66 x 5/18 m/sec = 55/3 m/sec
? Required time = 110 x (3/55) = 6 sec
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
Given, length of four metal roads are 78, 104, 117 and 169 cm.
Now,
78 = 13 x 2 x 3,
104 = 13 x 2 x 2 x 2,
117 = 13 x 3 x 3,
169 = 13 x 13
Length of each piece of rod as long as possible, HCF = 13 CM
? Number of piece = 6 + 8 + 9 + 13 = 36
Correct Answer: 112.5 metres
Explanation:
Speed = 30 km/hr = 30 x (5/18) = 25/3 m/sec.
? Length of the train = (25/3) x (27/2)
= 225/2 = 1121/2 metres
