Q:

The length of a rectangle is twice its breadth. If its length is decreased by 5 cm and breadth is increased by 5 cm, the area of the rectangle is increased by 75 sq.cm. Find the length of the rectangle?

A) 10cm B) 20cm
C) 30cm D) 40cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20cm

Explanation:

Let the breadth of the given rectangle be x then length is 2x.
thus area of the given rect is 2x2

 

 

 

after dec 5cm from length and inc 5cm breadth , new lenght becomes 2x-5 and breadth is x+5.thus new area =(2x-5)(x+5)=2x2+5x-25

since new area is 75 units greater than original area thus
2x2+75 = 2x+5x-25
5x=75+25
5x=100
therefore x=20
hence length of the rectangle is 40 cm.

Q:

How many 6-digit even numbers can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 so that the digits should not repeat and the second last digit is even ?

A) 521 B) 720
C) 420 D) 225
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 720

Explanation:

Let last digit is 2
when second last digit is 4 remaining 4 digits can be filled in 120 ways, similarly second last digit is 6 remained 4 digits can be filled in 120 ways.
so for last digit = 2, total numbers=240

 

Similarly for 4 and 6
When last digit = 4, total no. of ways =240
and last digit = 6, total no. of ways =240
so total of 720 even numbers are possible.
