A) 175 B) 145
C) 165 D) 135
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 175

Explanation:

Let the number of males be 'M'
Let the number of females be 'F'
From the given conditions,
(F-15)=2M.....(i)
F=5(M-45).....(ii)
By solving the equations (1) & (2) we get M = 80
Then substitute M = 80 in (1)
F = 2M + 15
F = 2 x 80 + 15
=> F = 175
Therefore, number of males = 80 and females = 175 in the party.

And if the process continues with each person saying 3 other persons,
In 30 minutes => the rocess for 10 times because each person time is 3 minutes.
Required number of persons = 3 + 32 + 33 + .... + 39 + 310

 

Now it forms a geometric progression,

 

Sum to n terms is S = arn - 1r - 1

 

Here a = 3, r = 3

 
=> 59048 x 3 /2

 

= 88572.

Q:

A man has only 20-paise and 25-paise coins in a bag. If he has 50 coins in all totaling to Rs.10.25, then the number of 20-paise coins is 

A) 42 B) 45
C) 38 D) 36
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 45

Explanation:

Let number of 20 ps coins = x and

number of 25 ps coins = y

Given total coins in the bag = 50

x + y = 50.......(1)

But the total money in the bag = Rs. 10.25

0.20x + 0.25y = 10.25

20x + 25y = 1025.........(2)

Now multiplying (1) by 25 we get

25x+25y=1250.............(3)

By solving (2) and (3)

20x + 25y = 1025;

=> x = 45;

Then, the no. of 20 ps coins are 45.
