Q:

A single pipe of diameter x has to be replaced by six pipes of diameters 12 cm each. The pipes are used to covey some liquid in a laboratory. If the speed/flow of the liquid is maintained the same then the value of x is ?

A) 14.69 cm B) 29.39 cm
C) 18.65 cm D) 22.21 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 29.39 cm

Explanation:

Volume of water flowing through 1 pipe of diameter x = Volume discharged by 6 pipes of diameter 12 cms.

 

As speed is same, area of cross sections should be same. 

 

Area of bigger pipe of diameter x = Total area of 6 smaller pipes of diameter 12 

i.e πR2 = 6πR12   

Here R = R and R1 = 12/2 = 6   

R2 = 6×6×6   

R = 14.696   

=> D = X = 14.696 * 2 = 29.3938 cm.

Q:

Kalyan purchased a Maruti van for Rs. 1,96,000 and the rate of depreciation is 14(2/7) % per annum. Find the value of the van after two years ?

A) Rs. 1,24,000 B) Rs. 1,44,000
C) Rs. 1,32,000 D) Rs. 1,62,000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 1,44,000

Explanation:

Value of Maruti Van, V1 = Rs. 1,96,000
Rate of depreciation, r = 14(2/7)% = 100/7%; Time, t = 2 years
Let V2 is the value after depreciation.

V2 = V11 - r100t
V2 = 196001 - 10071002

V2 = 196000(6/7)(6/7)

V2 = (196000x36)/49 = Rs. 1,44,000.
