A) always greater than either of the original fractions B) always less than either of the original fractions
C) sometimes greater and sometimes less than either of the original fractions D) remains the same
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) always less than either of the original fractions

Explanation:

We can easily Answer this by taking some values.

 

The question states that the two fractions, each have values between 0 and 1.

Let us say one of the fraction is 1/2 and the other fraction is 1/3 .

The product of the two fractions is 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6 .
 is lesser than both 1/2  and 1/3 .

Q:

An owner of a Dry fruits shop sold small packets of mixed nuts for Rs. 150 each and large packets for Rs. 250 each. One day he sold 5000 packets, for a total of Rs. 10.50 lakh. How many small packets were sold ?

A) 2000 B) 3000
C) 2500 D) 3500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2000

Explanation:

Let 's' be the number of small packets and 'b' the number of large packets sold on that day.

 

Therefore, s + b = 5000 ... eqn (1)

 

Each small packet was sold for Rs.150.
Therefore, 's' small packets would have fetched Rs.150s.

 

Each large packets was sold for Rs.250.
Therefore, 'b' large packets would have fetched Rs.250b.

 

Total value of sale = 150s + 250b = Rs. 10.5 Lakhs (Given)

 

Or 150s + 250b = 10,50,000 ... eqn (2)

 

Multiplying equation (1) by 150, we get 150s + 150b = 7,50,000 ... eqn (3)

 

Subtracting eqn (3) from eqn (2), we get 100b = 3,00,000
Or b = 3000

 

We know that s + b = 5000
So, s = 5000 - b = 5000 - 3000 = 2000.

 

2000 small packets were sold.

Q:

The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4.15 is

A) 0 B) 37.5
C) 27 D) 15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 37.5

Explanation:

Angle between hands of a clock

 

When the minute hand is behind the hour hand, the angle between the two hands at M minutes past H 'o clock

 

=> 30H-M5+M2 degrees

 

Here H = 4, M = 15 and the minute hand is behind the hour hand.

 

Hence the angle

 

 = 30[4-(15/5)]+15/2 = 30(1)+7.5 = 37.5 degrees
