Q:

The base of a triangular field is three times its altitude. If the cost of cultivating the field at Rs. 24.68 per hectare be Rs. 333.18, find its base and height.

A) B=900;H=300 B) B=300;H=900
C) B=600;H=700 D) B=500;H=900
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) B=900;H=300

Explanation:

Area of the field = Total cost/rate = (333.18/25.6) = 13.5 hectares
13.5*10000m2=135000m2 
Let altitude = x metres  and  base = 3x metres.
Then, 12*3x*x=135000x2=90000x=300 

Base = 900 m and Altitude = 300 m.

Q:

A and B can do a piece of work in 40 and 50 days. If they work at it an alternate days with A beginning in how many days, the work will be finished ?

Answer

(A+B)'s two days work = 140+150=9200 


 


Evidently, the work done by A and B duing 22 pairs of days 


 


 i.e in 44 days = 22×9200=198200 


 


Remaining work = 1-198200= 1/100


 


 Now on 45th day A will have the turn to do 1/100 of the work and this work A will do in 40×1100=25


 


 Therefore,  Total time taken = 4425daya

A) 150 B) 250
C) 350 D) 550

Circumference = No.of revolutions * Distance covered

 

Distance to be covered in 1 min. = (66 X1000)/60 m = 1100 m.
Circumference of the wheel = 2 x (22/7) x 0.70 m = 4.4 m.
Number of revolutions per min. =(1100/4.4) = 250.

A) 315 B) 385
C) 415 D) 485

therefore, x-700-x=15x+700-x2

 2x-700=70

 x=385

So, the two parts are 385 and 315.

 Hence, Area of the smaller = 315 hectares
