Q:

Two pipes A and B can fill a cistern in 4 minutes and 6 minutes respectively . If these pipes are turned on alternately for 1 minute each how long will it take to the cistern to fill?

Answer

As the pipes are operating alternatively, thus their 2 minutes job is = $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{12}$

In the next 2 minutes the pipes can fill another $\frac{5}{12}$ part of cistern.

Therefore, In 4 minutes the two pipes which are operating alternatively will fill $\frac{5}{12} + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5}{6}$ Remaining part = $1 - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{1}{6}$

Pipe A can fill $\frac{1}{4}$ of the cistern in 1 minute

Pipe A can fill $\frac{1}{6}$ of the cistern in = $\frac{2}{3}$ min

Therefore, Total time taken to fill the Cistern

4 + $\frac{2}{3}$ minutes.

Q:

(51 + 52 + 53 + .........+100) is equal to

Answer

51 + 52 + 53 + ...........+ 100

= (1 + 2 + 3 + .... + 100) - (1 + 2 + 3 + ...... + 50)

= It is in the form of $\frac{n (n + 1)}{2} s e r i e s s u m m a t i o n$

= n1 = 100 , n2 = 50

= $[\frac{100 (100 + 1)}{2}] - [\frac{50 (50 + 1)}{2}]$

= (5050 - 1275) = 3775

Q:

Simplify

$\frac{1 . 5^{3} + 4 . 7^{3} + 3 . 8^{3} - 3 x 1.5 x 4.7 x 3.8}{1 . 5^{2} + 4 . 7^{2} + 3 . 8^{2} - 1.5 x 4.7 - 4.7 x 3.8 - 1.5 x 3.8}$

A) 6	B) 8
C) 10	D) 12

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 10

Explanation:

Apply $\frac{a^{3} + b^{3} + c^{3} - 3 a b c}{a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - a b - b c - c a} = a + b + c$

Hence the answer is 1.5 + 4.7 + 3.8 = 10.

C) 16	D) 32

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16

Explanation:

given

$48 \sqrt{?} + 32 \sqrt{?} = 320$

=> $6 \sqrt{?} + 4 \sqrt{?} = 40$

Now squaring on both sides

=> $36 x ? + 16 x ? + 48 x ? = 1600$
