Q:

The area of a square is equal to the area of a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 5 cm more than a side of the square and its breadth is 3 cm less than the side of the square. What is the perimeter of the rectangle ? 

A) 15 cm B) 18 cm
C) 34 cm D) 26 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 34 cm

Explanation:

Let the side of the square be 's' cm

 

length of rectangle = (s+5) cm

 

breadth of rectangle = (s-3)cm

 

(s+5) (s-3) = 

 

s2 - 5s - 3s - 15 = s2 

 

2s = 15

 

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L+B) = 2(s+5 + s–3) = 2(2s + 2)

 

= 2(15 + 2) = 34 cm

Q:

Tanks A and B are each in the shape of a right circular cylinder. The interior of tank A has a height of 10 meters and a circumference of 8 meters, and the interior of tank B has a height of 8 meters and a circumference of 10 meters. The capacity of tank A is what percent of the capacity of tank B ?

A) 76% B) 72%
C) 80% D) 82%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 80%

Explanation:

circumference of A = 2πr = 8 => so r = 4π
volume = π×4π2×10 = 160π
circumference of B = 2πr   = 10 => so r = 5π
volume = π×5π2×8 =  200π
so ratio of capacities = 160/200 = 0.8
so capacity of A will be 80% of the capacity of B.

Q:

Lasya alone can do a work in 16 days. Srimukhi’s efficiency is 20 % lesser than that of Laya. If Rashmi and Srimukhi together can do the same work in 12 days, then find the efficiency ratio of Rashmi to that of Lasya?

A) 19 : 7 B) 30 : 19
C) 8 : 15 D) 31 : 17
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 8 : 15

Explanation:

Given Lasya can do a work in 16 days.

 

Now, time taken by Srimukhi alone to complete the work = 16 x 100/80

 

Time taken by Rashmi = n days

 

=> (12 x 20)/(20 - 12) = (12 x 20)/n

 

=> n= 30 days.

 

Required ratio of efficiencies of Rashmi and Lasya = 1/30  ::  1/16  = 8 : 15.

Q:

What is the profit or loss % when a shopkeeper bought 4 mangoes for Rs. 6 and sold them @ 4 mangoes for Rs. 4?

A) 36.333% B) 33.666%
C) 33.333% D) 36.666%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 33.333%

Explanation:

Cost of 4 mangoes = Rs. 6 

Cost of 1 mango = Rs. 6/4 = Rs. 1.5

Now, Selling Price of 4 mangoes = Rs. 4

Selling Price of 1 mango = Rs. 4/4 = Rs. 1.0

 

      • We observe that, S.P < C.P

 

Hence, the shopkeeper incurs a loss.

 

Required loss% = loss/C.P x 100

Loss = 1.5 - 1 = 0.5

C.P = 1.5

Loss% = (0.5/1.5) x 100

 = (5/15) x 100

 = 1/3 x 100

 = 100/3

 = 33.333%.
