Q:

How many rectangles can be drawn with 36 cm as the perimeter, given that the sides are positive integers in cm?

A) 8 B) 9
C) 10 D) 11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9

Explanation:

Perimeter = 36


⇒ 2 ( l + w ) = 36


⇒ l + w = 18


Since length and width are positive integers in centimeters.

Therefore, possible dimensions are :


( 1, 17 )cm , ( 2, 16 ) cm , ( 3, 15 ) cm, (4 , 14) cm, ( 5,13) cm, ( 6, 12) cm , ( 7, 11) cm, ( 8, 10 ) cm, ( 9, 9) cm.


Hence, there are 9 rectangles.

Q:

If sum of upstream and downstream speed of a boat is 82 kmph, and the boat travels 105 km. upstream in 3 hr, Find the time taken by boat to cover 126 km downstream. 

A) 2.8 hrs B) 2.7 hrs
C) 2.6 hrs D) 2.5 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2.7 hrs

Explanation:

Let Speed of boat in still water = b

Let Speed of still water = w

Then we know that,

Speed of Upstream = U = boat - water

Speed of Downstream = D = boat + water

Given, U + D = 82

b - w + b + w = 82

2b = 82

=> b = 41 kmph

From the given data,

41 - w = 105/3 = 35

w = 6 kmph

Now,

b + w = 126/t

=> 41 + 6 = 126/t

=> t = 126/47  = 2.68 hrs.

Q:

The length of a rope in meter by which a cow must be tethered in order that she may be able to graze an area of 2826 sq.m is ?

A) 15 mts B) 30 mts
C) 24 mts D) 36 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 30 mts

Explanation:

The cow can graze an area of 2826 sq.m i.e it is able to cover area of circle of 2826 sq.m

 

Therefore, πr2 =2826
r2 =(2826×7/22) = 899.18 = 900
r = 30 m.

 

Therefore, the radius of the circle implies the length of the rope = 30 mts.

Q:

Two dice are rolled simultaneously. Find the probability of getting the sum of numbers on the on the two faces divisible by 3 or 4?

A) 3/7 B) 7/11
C) 5/9 D) 6/13
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5/9

Explanation:

Here n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36

E={(1,2),(1,5),(2,1),(2,4),(3,3),(3,6),(4,2),(4,5),(5,1),(5,4),(6,3) ,(6,6),(1,3),(2,2),(2,6),(3,1),(3,5), (4,4),(5,3),(6,2)}

=> n(E)=20

Required Probability n(P) = n(E)/n(S) = 20/36 = 5/9.

Q:

How many 3-digit numbers can be formed from the digits 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 which are divisible by 5 and none of the digits is repeated ?

A) 15 B) 20
C) 5 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20

Explanation:

Since each number to be divisible by 5, we must have 5 0r 0 at the units place. But in given digits we have only 5.

 

So, there is one way of doing it.

 

Tens place can be filled by any of the remaining 5 numbers.So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.

 

The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.

 

Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.
