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 sum of money becomes 7/6 of itself in 3 years at a certain rate of simple interest. The rate per annum is ?

A) 45/7 % B) 50/9 %
C) 51/7 % D) 47/ 9 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 50/9 %

Explanation:

Let sum = S. Then, amount = 7S/6

S.I. = 7S/6 - S = S/6; Time = 3 years.

Rate = (100 x S) / (S x 6 x 3) = 5 5/9 = 50/9 %.

Q:

The diameter of the driving wheel of a bus is 140 cm. How many revolution, per minute must the wheel make in order to keep a speed of 66 kmph ?

A) 150 B) 250
C) 350 D) 550
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 250

Explanation:

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.

Q:

A bag contains 50 tickets numbered 1,2,3,4......50 of which five are drawn at random and arranged in ascending order of magnitude.Find the probability that third drawn ticket is equal to 30.

A) 551/15134 B) 1/2
C) 552/15379 D) 1/9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 551/15134

Explanation:

Total number of elementary events = 50C5
Given,third ticket =30

 

 

 

=> first and second should come from tickets numbered 1 to 29 = 29C2 ways and remaining two in 20C2 ways.

 

 

 

Therfore,favourable number of events = 29C2*20C2

 

 

 

Hence,required probability = 29C2*20C2/50C5 =551 / 15134

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
