Answers :
1) Answer: b)
We can solve this problem by checking the options:
Simple interest for Rs.5000 would be 30% of 5000 = Rs.1500
Compound interest for Rs.5000 = 500 + 550 + 605 = Rs.1655
Required difference = Rs. (1655 – 1500) = Rs.155.
2) Answer :a)
Let the maximum marks in each of the three subjects be 100.
Therefore, the candidate scored an aggregate of 60% of 3 × 100 = 60% of 300 marks. = 180 marks
Let the marks scored in the three subjects be 4 x, 5x and 6x.
Then, 4x + 5x + 6x = 180; or 15x = 180; or, x = 12
Therefore, marks scored by the candidate in the three subjects are 4 × 12, 5 × 12 and 6 × 12 = 48, 60 and 72.
Hence, the candidate has scored more than 60% in one subject.
3) Answer :d)
Let the total work be 240 units (LCM of 4, 6, 12, 24).
Efficiencies per day of:
Man = 240/4 = 60 units
Woman = 240/6 = 40 units
Boy = 240/12 = 20 units
And girl = 240/24 = 10 units
In one day, a man, a woman and a boy can do 120 units. The remaining 120 units can be done by 12 girls in that same day.
4) Answer :b)
Let y be the speed of sound and x the speed of the man.
Then the relative speed of sound = y – x
Or, y – x = 30/33 of y
Or, 33y – 33x = 30y
Or, y/x = 11/1
Hence, y: x = 11: 1.
5) Answer: d)
Let the place is d km away from the original position of A. According to the question,
Now by putting the options in the above equation or by solving the above equation, we get d = 42 km.
6) Answer: d)
7) Answer: a)
8) Answer: c)
9) Answer: b)
a b c = 4 and a, b, c are in AP.
Then, value of b will be minimum when all three are equal.
∴ b³ = 4
10) Answer: a)
11) Answer: c)
Let P be the required location of the pole.
Let the distance of the pole from the gate B be x m i.e., BP = x meter.
Now the difference of the distance of the pole from the two gates
= AP – BP = 7 m.
∴ AP = (x+ 7) m
Since ∴ P is an angle in semi-circle;
∴ ∠ P = 90º and AB = 13 m (diameter of circle)
AB² = AP² + BP² [∴ in right-angled ∆ABP]
–> (13)² = (x + 7)² + x²
–> 169 = x² + 14x + 49 + x²
–> 2x² + 14x + 49 – 169 = 0
–> 2x² + 14x – 120 = 0
–> x² + 7x – 60 = 0
–> x² + 12x – 5x – 60 = 0
–> x (x +12) – 5(x +12) = 0
–> (x + 12) (x – 5) = 0
x = 5 or -12 (which is not possible)
∴ Required distance = 5 m
12) Answer: c)
13) Answer: d)
∆ADC is right-angled triangle with A = 90º/: ∆ ADC , ∠A = 90º
∴ AC² + AD² = CD²
In DABC/ DABC according to Apollonius Theorem
= 2 AD² + 2 BD² = AB² + AC²
= 2(CD² – AC²) + 2 BD² = AB² + AC²
BD = CD
∴ BD² = CD² =
14) Answer: d)
As all of them have the same base so they have the same radius.
Suppose their radius is r and height is h.
∴ Curved surface area of hemisphere = 2pr² and curved surface area of the cone
