The length of the longest pole which can be kept in a room 12 m long, 4 m broad and 3 m high is

=>  d2 = 122 + 42 + 32 = 13mts.

Perimeter of a square p=4s ,where s=length of its side 

=> p=4(14)=56 feets 

Area  of a square A = s x s

=> A=196

The perimeter is 56 feet, and the area is 196 square feet.

18 Feb, 2016 = (2015 years + Period from 1.1.2016 to 18.2.2016)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 400 years = 0

15 years = (12 ordinary years + 3 leap year) = (12 x 1 + 3 x 2)= 4 odd days

Jan  Feb

(31 + 18 ) = 49 days

49 days = (7 weeks + 0 day)= 0 odd day.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 4 + 0) = 4 odd day.

Given day is Thursday

Let the fraction be x/y. Then, x /(y+1) = 1/2

=> 2x - y = 1  ..........(i)and 

(x + 1) / y = 1  => x - y =  1 .......(ii)

 Solving (i) and (ii), we get :  x  = 2, y = 3. Hence, the required fraction is 2/3..

Value of Maruti Van, V1 = Rs. 1,96,000
Rate of depreciation, r = 14(2/7)% = 100/7%; Time, t = 2 years
Let V2 is the value after depreciation.

V2 = V11 - r100t
V2 = 196001 - 10071002

V2 = 196000(6/7)(6/7)

V2 = (196000x36)/49 = Rs. 1,44,000.

Let the interest rate be r%

We know that,

S.I = PTR/100

=> (1540 x 5 x r)/100  +  (1800 x 4 x r)/100 = 1788

=> r = 178800/14900 = 12%
