Q:

The market value of a 10.5% stock, in which an income of Rs. 756 is derived by investing Rs. 9000, brokerage being 1/4%, is:

A) 108.25	B) 112.20
C) 124.75	D) 125.25

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 124.75

Explanation:

For an income of Rs. 756, investment = Rs. 9000.

For an income of $R s . \frac{21}{2}$ , investment = $R s . \frac{9000}{756} \times \frac{21}{2}$ = Rs. 125.

For a Rs. 100 stock, investment = Rs. 125.

Market value of Rs. 100 stock = $R s . (125 - \frac{1}{4})$ = Rs. 124.75

A) 2/7	B) 3/7
C) 4/7	D) 3/7

Total number of persons = 9

Out of 9 persons 4 persons can be selected in $9 C_{4}$ ways =126

1 man,1 woman and 2 children can be selected in $3 C_{1} * 2 C_{1} * 4 C_{1}$ ways =36

So,required probability = 36/126 =2/7

Q:

A large cube is formed from the material obtained by melting three smaller cubes of 3, 4 and 5 cm side. What is the ratio of the total surface areas of the smaller cubes and the large cube?

A) 2 : 1	B) 3 : 2
C) 25 : 18	D) 27 : 20

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 25 : 18

Explanation:

Volume of the large cube = $(3^{3} + 4^{3} + 5^{3})$ = 216 cu.cm.

Let the edge of the large cube be a.

So, $a^{3}$ = 216

=>a = 6 cm.

Required ratio = $\frac{6 (3^{2} + 4^{2} + 5^{2})}{6 (6^{2})} = \frac{25}{18}$
