Explanation:

Let the total quantity of gold be p kgs.

According to the question,

50% of p + 25% of p + 12.5% of p = 130900

87.5% of p = 130900

p = 130900 x 100/87.5  = 149600 kgs.

 

Therefore, the initial gold quantity that king has = p = 149600 kgs.

A) Rs. 1911 B) Rs. 1909
C) Rs. 1901 D) Rs. 1907

Q:

A box contains 90 screws each of 100 gms and 100 bolts each of 150 gms. If the entire box weighs 35.5 kg, then the weight of the empty box is ?

A) 10.5 kgs B) 12 kgs
C) 9.6 kgs D) 11.5 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 11.5 kgs

Explanation:

Screws weight = 90x100 = 9000gms
bolts weight = 100 x 150 = 15000gms
weight = screws + bolts => 24000 gms =>24 kg
Given entire box weight = 35.5kg
empty box = entire box weight - weight => 35.5kg - 24kg => 11.5kg
so the empty box is 11.5kg.

Number of balls in the figure...

balls1523099634.jpg image

Answer

You have to actually count all the balls in the pyramid.
Simple way is to count the balls in each level.


So lower most level lets say 1st level has 4 x 4 balls; i.e. 16 balls
Similarly 2nd level has 3 x 3 balls; i.e. 9 balls.
3rd level has 2 x 2 balls; i.e. 4 balls.
The top most level has just 1 ball.


So the total number of balls is 16+9+4+1 = 30.


 


So the image has 30 Balls in all.
