Q:

In a fort, there are 1200 soldiers. If each soldier consumes 3 kg per day, the provisions available in the fort will last for 30 days. If some more soldiers join, the provisions available will last for 25 days given each soldier consumes 2.5 kg per day. Find the number of soldiers joining the fort in that case ?

A) 693 B) 741
C) 528 D) 654
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 528

Explanation:

Assume x soldiers join the fort. 1200 soldiers have provision for 1200 (days for which provisions last them)(rate of consumption of each soldier)
= (1200)(30)(3) kg.

Also provisions available for (1200 + x) soldiers is (1200 + x)(25)(2.5) k

As the same provisions are available
=> (1200)(30)(3) = (1200 + x)(25)(2.5)

x = ([(1200)(30)(3)] / (25)(2.5)) - 1200 => x = 528.

Q:

A man can row 9 km/h in still water. It takes him twice as long as to row down. Find the rate of stream of the river ?

Answer

\inline \frac{Time\: taken\: in\: upstream}{Time\: taken\: in\: downstream} = \inline \frac{2}{1}


 \inline \therefore \inline \frac{Downstream\: speed}{upstream\: speed} = \inline \frac{2}{1}        where  \inline \frac{B+R}{B-R}=\frac{2}{1}


B ---> speed of boat in still water


R---->speed of current


\inline \Rightarrow \frac{B}{R}=\frac{3}{1}    ( By componendo and dividendo)


\inline \Rightarrow \frac{9}{R}=\frac{3}{1}\: \: \Rightarrow R= 3\: km/h

Q:

The breadth of a rectangular field is 60% of its length. If the perimeter of the field is 800 m.What is the area of the field?

A) 47500 B) 37500
C) 57500 D) 77500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 37500

Explanation:

Let length = x meters, then breadth = 0.6x 

Given that  perimeter = 800 meters 

=> 2[ x + 0.6x] = 800 

=> x = 250 m 

Length = 250m and breadth = 0.6 x  250 = 150m 

Area = 250 x 150 = 37500 sq.m
