Q:

O and O' are the center of the two circles with radii 7cm and 9cm respectively. The distance between the centers is 20cm. If PQ be the transverse common tangent to the circles, which cuts OO' at X, what is the length of O'X in cm ?

A) 10 B) 6
C) 35/4 D) 45/4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 45/4

Explanation:

As clear from the figure itself, triangle OQX and triangle O'PX are similar.

So,

OQ/O'P = OX/O'X

=> OX = (7/9)xO'X

And since, OX + O'X = 20

=> (7/9)xO'X + O'X = 20

=> O'X = 45/4

'X' sells fruits at 21% profit. If X bought it for 9% less and sold it for Rs.29 less, he would have gained 25%. The cost price of fruits is?

A) Rs. 400 B) Rs. 420
C) Rs. 460 D) Rs. 480
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 400

Explanation:

Let the cost price of the fruits be 'C.P'

From the given data, after analysis it can be solved as

(121% of C.P) - (125% of 91% of C.P) = 29

121100 C.P  -  125100  x 91100 x C.P = 29121100 - 125 x 91100 x 100 C.P = 29(12100 - 125 x 91) C.P = 290000(12100 - 11375) C.P = 290000725 C.P = 290000C.P = 400

 

Hence, the cost price of the fruits = Rs. 400.
