Q:

Find the sum to 200 terms of the series 2 + 5 + 7 + 6 + 12 + 7 + ....

A) 30,400 B) 30,200
C) 34,600 D) 38,400
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 30,400

Explanation:

we can treat every two consecutive terms as one.
So, we will have a total of 100 terms of the nature:
(2 + 5) + (7 + 6) + (12 + 7).... => 7, 13, 19,....

 

We know the sum of n terms  nn+12

 

Now, a= 7, d=6 and n=100
Hence the sum of the given series is
S= 100/2 x[2 x 7 + 99 x 6]
=> 50[608]
=> 30,400.

Q:

Joel travels the first 3 hours of his journey at 60 mph speed and the remaining 5 hours at 24 mph speed. What is the average speed of Joel's travel in kmph ?

A) 38 kmph B) 40 kmph
C) 60 kmph D) 54 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 60 kmph

Explanation:

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

Total distance traveled by Joel = Distance covered in the first 3 hours + Distance covered in the next 5 hours.

Distance covered in the first 3 hours = 3 x 60 = 180 miles
Distance covered in the next 5 hours = 5 x 24 = 120 miles

Therefore, total distance traveled = 180 + 120 = 300 miles.

Total time taken = 3 + 5 = 8 hours.

Average speed = 300/8 = 37.5 mph.

we know that 1 mile = 1.6 kms

=> 37.5 miles = 37.5 x 1.6 = 60 kms

Average speed in Kmph = 60 kmph.

Q:

A flagstaff 17.5 m high casts a shadow of length 40.25 m. What will be the height of a building, which casts a shadow of length 28.75 m under similar conditions ?  

A) 14 cm B) 13.5 cm
C) 12.5 cm D) 11.4 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12.5 cm

Explanation:

Let the required height of the building be x meter

More shadow length, More height(direct proportion)

Hence we can write as

(shadow length) 40.25 : 28.75 :: 17.5 : x
⇒ 40.25 × x = 28.75 × 17.5
⇒ x = 28.75 × 17.5/40.25
= 2875 × 175/40250
= 2875 × 7/1610
= 2875/230
= 575/46
= 12.5 cm
