Q:

5 sin(x)+ 12 cos(x) + r is always greater than or equal to zero. What is the smallest value satisfied by 'r' ?

A) -13 B) 11
C) 13 D) -11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 13

Explanation:

Given,

 5sinx + 12cosx ≥ -r 

⇒13513sin x + 1213cos x ≥ -rcosx) ≥ -r 

513= cosA => sinA =1213

 

=> 13(sinx cosA + sinA cosx) ≥ -r

 

=> 13(sin(x + A)) ≥ -r

 

we know that , -1 ≤ sin (angle) ≤ 1

 

=> 13sin (x + A) ≥ -13 ⇒rmin =13

Q:

The ratio between the perimeter and the breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 1. If the area of the rectangle is 216 sq. cm, what is the length of the rectangle?

A) 16cm B) 18cm
C) 24cm D) .Data inadequate
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 18cm

Explanation:

2(l+b)/b = 5/1 

=> 2l + 2b = 5b  

=> 3b = 2l  

=> b =(2/3) x l

 Then, Area = 216 sq.cm 

 

l x b = 216  

=> l x [(2/3)x l] =216  

=> l x l = 324 

=> l = 18 cm.

Q:

Prasanna invested certain amount in three different schemes X, Y and Z with the rate of interest 10% p.a, 12% p.a and 15% p.a respectively. If the total interest accrued in one year was Rs. 3200 and the amount invested in Scheme Z was 150% of the amount invested in Scheme X and 240% of the amount invested in Scheme Y, what was the amount invested in Scheme Y by Prasanna ?

A) Rs.6000 B) Rs.4500
C) Rs.7500 D) Rs.5000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs.5000

Explanation:

Let a, b and c be the amounts invested in schemes X, Y and Z respectively. Then,

As we know:

Simple interest (S.I.) = PTR/100

(a × 10 × 1/100) + (b × 12 × 1/100) + (c × 15 × 1/100) = 3200

= 10a + 12b + 15c = 320000 .........(1)

Now, c = 240% of b = 12b/5 .........(2)

And, c = 150% of a = 3a/2 => a = 2/3 c = (2 × 12)b/(3 × 5) = 8b/5 .......(3)

From (1), (2) and (3), we have

16b + 12b + 36b = 320000 => 64b = 320000 => b = 5000

∴ Sum invested in Scheme Y = Rs.5000.

Q:

From a deck of 52 cards, a 7 card hand is dealt.How many distinct hands are there if the hand must contain 2 spades and 3 diamonds ?

A) 7250100 B) 7690030
C) 7250000 D) 3454290
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 7250100

Explanation:

There are 13 spades,we must include 2: 13C2

 

There are 13 diamonds,we must include 3: 13C3

 

Since we can't have more than 2 spades and 3 diamonds,the remaining 2 cards must be pulled out from the 26 remaining clubs and hearts : 26C2

 

Therefore,13C2*13C3*26C2 = 7250100
