Q:

In a triangle ABC, angle 'a' is the smallest one & A+7B = 112. Find the range of value 'c' ?

A) 138 to 164 B) 125 to 147
C) 148 to 158 D) 152 to 164
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 152 to 164

Explanation:

A+7B=112

it is clear that A = 14, then it becomes A>=B, but A is smallest angle) given
so, range of A is 0.0001 to 13.9999 ( I am taking upto 4 decimal places)
so, range of B becomes 14 to 16 ( after rounding off to 4 decimal places)
so, range of C becomes 152 to 164 ( after rounding off to 4 decimal places)

Q:

The circumference of a circular base of Cylinder is 44 cm and its hight is 15 cm. Then the volume of the cylinder is?

A) 2759 cub. cm B) 2247 cub. cm
C) 2614 cub. cm D) 2311 cub. cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2311 cub. cm

Explanation:

Given Circumference of a circular base of a cylinder = 44 cm

We know that Circumference of a circle = 2πr = 44r = 22π

Now given the height of a cylinder h = 15 cm

Volume of a cylinder V = πr2h = π22π215 = 22 x 22 x 153.14 = 2311 cm3.

Q:

The ratio of efficiencies of two filling pipes is 4 : 5. There is a third emptying pipe which efficiency is two third of the average efficiency of first two filling pipes can empty a filled tank in 36 minutes. In how much time both the filling pipes can fill the tank when it is empty?

A) 16 min B) 12 min
C) 14 min D) 20 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 12 min

Explanation:

Let the efficiencies of filling pipes is 4p and 5p respectively.

Efficiency of pipe which empty the tank = 2/3 x 9p/2 = 3p

Total work = 3p x 36 = 108p

 

Time to fill the tank by both the pipes = 108p/9p = 12 min.
