A kiddy bank of a child contains all Rs. 1, 50 paise and 25 paise coins. What is the total amount in the bank ?
(1) Total number of coins are 20
(2) The number of 50 paise and 25 paise coins are in the ratio of 7:3.

A) only 1 is needed	B) only 1 is needed
C) Both and 2 are needed	D) None

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both and 2 are needed

Explanation:

Given that 50 paise and 25 paise coins are in the ratio of 7:3, they can be either 7 & 3 or 14 & 6.
As total 20 coins also includes Rs. 1 coins, so 50 paise & 25 paise coins are 7 & 3 respectively & Rs. 1 coins are 10.
Total amount = (100x10) + (50x7) + (25x3)=1425 paise or Rs.14.25.

Q:

If $x = 2 + 2^{\frac{2}{3}} + 2^{\frac{1}{3}}$ then find the value of $x^{3} - 6 x^{2} + 6 x$ ?

A) 1	B) 2
C) 3	D) 4

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2

Explanation:

Given that $x = 2 + 2^{\frac{2}{3}} + 2^{\frac{1}{3}}$

So x - 2 = $2^{\frac{2}{3}} + 2^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Now cubing on both sides, we get

=> $x^{3} - 8 - 6 x^{2} + 12 x = 4 + 2 + 6 (x - 2)$

Therefore, $x^{3} - 6 x^{2} + 6 x = - 6 + 8 = 2$

Q:

Express 3/8 and 1/10 as a Decimals?

A) 1.375 & 1	B) 0.375 & 1
C) 13.75 & 1.1	D) 0.375 & 0.1

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 0.375 & 0.1

Explanation:

3/8 as a Decimal :

In this we should convert the denominator into 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000,... to make it simple.

Now to make 8 into 1000, we multiply numerator and denominator with 125

=> $\frac{3 x 125}{8 x 125} = \frac{375}{1000} = 0.375$

1/10 as a Decimal :

1 divided into 10 parts of each 0.1.

Therefore, 3/8 = 0.375 and 1/10 = 0.1 in decimals.
