Q:

In a certain office, 1/3 of workers are women, 1/2 of the women are married and 1/3 of the married women have children. If 3/4  of the men are married and 2/3  of the married men have children, what part of the workers are without children?

A) 5/18 B) 4/9
C) 11/18 D) 17/36
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11/18

Explanation:

Let the total number of workers be x. Then, 

 

Number of women = x/3 and number of men = x - x/3  = 2x/3

 

Number of women having children = x/18

 

Number of men having children = x/3

 

Number of workers having children = (x/18) + (x/3) = 7x/18

  

Therefore, workers having no children = x - 7x/18 = 11/18 of all workers.

Q:

A room is half as long again as it is broad. The cost of carpeting the at Rs. 5 per sq.m is Rs. 270 and the cost of papering the four walls at Rs. 10 per sq.m is Rs. 1720. If a door and 2 windows occupy 8 sq. m, find the dimensions of the room.

A) b=6; l=18; H=6 B) b=5; l=6; H=18
C) l=6; b=18; H=15 D) l=5; b=18; H=18
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) b=6; l=18; H=6

Explanation:

Let breadth = x metres, length = 3x metres, height = H metres. 

Area of the floor=(Total cost of carpeting)/(Rate) = (270/5) sq.m = 54 sq.m 

x×3x2=54⇒x2=54×2⇒x=6  

So, breadth = 6 m and length =362 = 9 m.

Now, papered area = (1720/10) =  172 sq.m 

Area of 1 door and 2 windows = 8 sq.m 

Total area of 4 walls = (172 + 8) sq.m = 180 sq.m 

2×9+6H=180⇒H=6
