Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
(256) 0.16 x (256) 0.09 = (256) (0.16 + 0.09)
= (256)0.25
= (256)(25/100)
= (256)(1/4)
= (44)(1/4)
= 44(1/4)
= 41
= 4
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
| Given Exp. = |
|
| = | xa | + | xb | + | xc |
| (xa + xb + xc) | (xa + xb + xc) | (xa + xb + xc) |
| = | (xa + xb + xc) |
| (xa + xb + xc) |
= 1.
Correct Answer: 25
Explanation:
5 a = 3125 ⟺ 5 a = 5 5
⟹ a = 5.
∴ 5(a - 3) = 5(5 - 3) = 52 = 25.
Correct Answer: 10000
Explanation:
| (10)150 ÷ (10)146 = | 10150 |
| 10146 |
= 10150 - 146
= 104
= 10000.
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
| 1 | + | 1 | = |
|
|||||||||||||||
| 1 + a(n - m) | 1 + a(m - n) |
| = | am | + | an |
| (am + an) | (am + an) |
| = | (am + an) |
| (am + an) |
= 1.
Correct Answer: 4.5
Explanation:
Let (17) 3.5 x (17) x = 17 8
Then, (17)3.5 + x = 178.
∴ 3.5 + x = 8
⟹ x = (8 - 3.5)
⟹ x = 4.5
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
| ❨ | √x | - | 1 | ❩ | 2 | = x + | 1 | - 2 |
| √x | x |
| = (3 + 2√2) + | 1 | - 2 |
| (3 + 2√2) |
| = (3 + 2√2) + | 1 | x | (3 - 2√2) | - 2 |
| (3 + 2√2) | (3 - 2√2) |
= (3 + 2√2) + (3 - 2√2) - 2
= 4.
| ∴ | ❨ | √x | - | 1 | ❩ | = 2. |
| √x |
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let the required number of days be x
Less cows, More days (Indirect Proportion)
Less bags, Less days (Direct Proportion)
| Cows | 1 | : | 40 | ] | :: 40 : x |
| Bags | 40 | : | 1 |
∴ 1 x 40 x x = 40 x 1 x 40
⟹ x = 40.
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
Let the required number of days be x
Less men, More days (Indirect Proportion)
∴ 27 : 36 :: 18 : x ⟺ 27 x x = 36 x 18
| ⟹ x = | 36 x 18 |
| 27 |
⟹ x = 24.
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Let the required number of working hours per day be x
More pumps, Less working hours per day (Indirect Proportion)
Less days, More working hours per day (Indirect Proportion)
| Pumps | 4 | : | 3 | ] | :: 8 : x |
| Days | 1 | : | 2 |
∴ 4 x 1 x x = 3 x 2 x 8
| ⟹ x = | (3 x 2 x 8) |
| (4) |
⟹ x = 12.
