Correct Answer: Rs. 1,44,750
Explanation:
3T+12C = 48,250----(1)
21T+36C = ?
multiply eq (1) with 3
i.e,, 3(7T+12C) = 48,250*3
21T+36C = 1,44,750/-
Correct Answer: 90
Explanation:
Let 'x' be the number of new Rs.2000 notes.
Given for one new 2000 note there are three old 500 notes.
i.e, 3x
Given 10 more new Rs.2000 notes are added to the collection
and the ratio of new Rs.2000 notes to old Rs.500 notes
Therefore, number of new Rs.2000 notes = x+10 = 30.
old Rs.500 notes = 3x = 60.
Thus, the total number of notes in the collection = 30 + 60 = 90.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
If Vijay gives 'x' marbles to Ajay then Vijay and Ajay would have V - x and A + x marbles.
V - x = A + x --- (1)
If Ajay gives 2x marbles to Vijay then Ajay and Vijay would have A - 2x and V + 2x marbles.
V + 2x - (A - 2x) = 30 => V - A + 4x = 30 --- (2)
From (1) we have V - A = 2x
Substituting V - A = 2x in (2)
6x = 30 => x = 5.
Correct Answer: 6555
Explanation:
Candidates passed in atleast four subjects
= (Candidates passed in 4 subjects) + (Candidates Passed in all 5 subjects)
= (Candidates failed in only 1 subject ) + ( Candidates passed in all subjects)
= (78 + 275 + 149 + 147 + 221) + 5685 = 870 + 5685 = 6555
Correct Answer: 301
Explanation:
Clearly, the required number would be such that it leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 3, 4, 5, or 6 and no remainder when divided by 7. Thus, the number must be of the form (L.C.M of 3, 4, 5, 6) x + 1 i.e., (60x + 1 ) and a multiple of 7. Clearly, for x = 5, the number is a multiple of 7. So the number is 301.
Correct Answer: 11 & 9
Explanation:
Let the number of apples in each tree of the 5 farmers be a, b, c, d,e respectively. Therefore total no of apples are 7a, 9b, 11c, 13d and 14e respectively.
Given,
7a+1 = 9b+3 = 11c-1 = 13d+3 = 14e-6 = x
9b+3 = 13d+3
===> 9b = 13d
so take b = 13 and d = 9
9b+3 = 9*13+3 = 120
ie, x=120
substituting
7a+1 = 120
7a = 119
a = 17
11c-1 = 120
11c = 121
c=11
14e-6 = 120
14e = 126
e = 9
Yields per tree in the orchards of d 3rd & 4th farmers= 11,9
Correct Answer: 3
Explanation:
Assume the family has X girls and Y boys, according to the question,
we can have 2 equations:
X-1=Y, 2(Y-2)=X.
Solve the equations, we get X=4, Y=3.
Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
There were all parrots but six means that six birds were not parrots but only pigeons and koels.
Similarly, number of parrots + number of koels = 6 and number of parrots + number of pigeons = 6.
This is possible when there are 3 parrots, 3 pigeons and 3 koels i.e. 9 birds in all.
Correct Answer: 30 min
Explanation:
After 5 mins ..... 3 persons will get rumour
After 10 mins .... 3x2 + 3 = 9 =
persons will get
after 15 =5x3 min ......9x2 + 9 =27 =
persons will get news.
.
.
after 5x6 mins ...
= 729 persons will get news.
Therefore, time taken to spread the rumour to 729 persons is 30 minutes.
