Q:

If the diagonals of a rhombus are 24cm and 10cm the area and the perimeter of the rhombus are respectively.

A) 10 B) 11
C) 12 D) 13
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 13

Explanation:

Area = 12*diagonal1*12diagonal2 = 12*24*10 sq.cm  

 

12*daigonal1=12*24=12cm 

 

12*diagonal2=12*10=5cm 


side of a rhombus = (12)² + (5)² = 169      => AB = 13cm

76000×1257000×(12-x)=21

 

--> 912000 = 114000 ( 12 – x ) = 114 ( 12 – x ) = 912

Q:

A can write 32 pages in 6 hours and B can write 40 pages in 5 hours. If they write together, in how many hours they can write 110 pages ?

A) 7 hrs B) 6 hrs 10 min
C) 5 hrs 25min D) 8 hrs 15 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8 hrs 15 min

Explanation:

A can write in 1hour = 32/6 pages

Similarly, B in 1 hour = 40/5 pages

Together (A+B) in 1 hour = 32/6 + 40/5 = 40/3

So, A+B write 40/3 pages in 1 hour

A+B write 110 pages in (3/40) x 110 Hours = 8 hours 15 min.

Q:

There are 6561 balls are there out of them 1 is heavy. Find the minimum number of times the balls have to be weighted for finding out the heavy ball ?

A) 2414 B) 204
C) 87 D) 8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8

Explanation:

Suppose there are 9 balls

 

Let us give name to each ball B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9

 

Now we will divide all the balls into 3 groups.

 

Group1 - B1 B2 B3

 

Group2 - B4 B5 B6

 

Group3 - B7 B8 B9

 

Step1 - Now weigh any two groups. Let's assume we choose Group1 on left side of the scale and Group2 on the right side.

 

So now when we weigh these two groups we can get 3 outcomes.

 

Weighing scale tilts on left - Group1 has a heavy ball.
Weighing scale tilts on right - Group2 has a heavy ball.
Weighing scale remains balanced - Group3 has a heavy ball.
Lets assume we got the outcome as 3. i.e Group 3 has a heavy ball.

 

Step2 - Now weigh any two balls from Group3. Lets assume we keep B7 on left side of the scale and B8 on right side.

 

So now when we weigh these two balls we can get 3 outcomes.

 

Weighing scale tilts on left - B7 is the heavy ball.
Weighing scale tilts on right - B8 is the heavy ball.
Weighing scale remains balanced - B9 is the heavy ball.
The conclusion we get from this Problem is that each time weigh. We element 2/3 of the balls.

 

As we came to conclusion that Group3 has the heavy ball from Step1, we remove 6 balls from the equation i.e (2/3) of 9.

 

Simillarly we do the ame thing for the Step2.

 

Now going with this conclusion. We have 6561 balls.

 

Step - 1

 

Divided into 3 groups

 

Group1 - 2187Balls

 

Group2 - 2187Balls

 

Group3 - 2187Balls

 

Taking the similar steps as we did in the above example, we come to the conclusion that Group1 has the heavy ball.

 

Step - 2

 

Divided into 3 groups

 

Group1 - 729Balls

 

Group2 - 729Balls

 

Group3 - 729Balls

 

Taking the similar steps as we did in the above example, we come to the conclusion that Group1 has the heavy ball.

 

Step - 3

 

Divided into 3 groups

 

Group1 - 243Balls

 

Group2 - 243Balls

 

Group3 - 243Balls

 

Taking the similar steps as we did in the above example, we come to the conclusion that Group1 has the heavy ball.

 

Step - 4

 

Divided into 3 groups

 

Group1 - 81Balls

 

Group2 - 81Balls

 

Group3 - 81Balls

 

Taking the similar steps as we did in the above example, we come to the conclusion that Group1 has the heavy ball.

 

Step - 5

 

Divided into 3 groups

 

Group1 - 27Balls

 

Group2 - 27Balls

 

Group3 - 27Balls

 

Taking the similar steps as we did in the above example, we come to the conclusion that Group1 has the heavy ball.

 

Step - 6

 

Divided into 3 groups

 

Group1 - 9Balls

 

Group2 - 9Balls

 

Group3 - 9Balls

 

Taking the similar steps as we did in the above example, we come to the conclusion that Group1 has the heavy ball.

 

Step - 7

 

Divided into 3 groups

 

Group1 - 3Balls

 

Group2 - 3Balls

 

Group3 - 3Balls

 

Taking the similar steps as we did in the above example, we come to the conclusion that Group1 has the heavy ball.

 

Step - 8

 

So now when we weigh 2 balls out of 3 we can get 3 outcomes.

 

Weighing scale tilts on left - left side placed is the heavy ball.
Weighing scale tilts on right - right side placed is the heavy ball.
Weighing scale remains balanced - remaining ball is the heavy ball.
So the general answer to this question is, it is always multiple of 3 steps.

 

For 9 balls  32= 9. therefore 2 steps

 

For 6561 balls 38 = 6561 therefore 8 steps
