Q:

In a purse there are 30 coins, twenty one-rupee and remaining 50-paise coins. Eleven coins are picked simultaneously at random and are placed in a box. If a coin is now picked from the box, find the probability of it being a rupee coin?

A) 4/7 B) 2/3
C) 1/2 D) 5/6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2/3

Explanation:

Total coins 30

In that,

1 rupee coins 20

50 paise coins 10

Probability of total 1 rupee coins =  20C11

Probability that 11 coins are picked = 30C11

Required probability of a coin now picked from the box is 1 rupee = 20C11/30C11 = 2/3.

Q:

Shawn invested one half of his savings in a bond that paid simple interest for 2 years and received Rs.550 as interest. He invested the remaining in a bond that paid compound interest, interest being compounded annually, for the same 2 years at the same rate of interest and received Rs.605 as interest. What was the value of his total savings before investing in thesetwo bonds?

A) Rs.2543 B) Rs.2534
C) Rs.2546 D) Rs.2750
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs.2750

Explanation:

 

Shawn received an extra amount of (Rs.605 – Rs.550) Rs.55 on his compound interest paying bond as the interest that he received in the first year also earned interest in the second year.

 

The extra interest earned on the compound interest bond = Rs.55

 

The interest for the first year =550/2 = Rs.275

 

Therefore, the rate of interest =55275*100= 20% p.a.

 

20% interest means that Shawn received 20% of the amount he invested in the bonds as interest.

 

If 20% of his investment in one of the bonds = Rs.275, then his total investment in each of the  bonds =27520*100 = 1375. 

As he invested equal sums in both the bonds, his total savings before investing = 2 x 1375 =Rs.2750.

Q:

Three taps P, Q and R can fill a tank in 12 hrs, 15 hrs and 20 hrs respectively. If P is open all the time and Q and R are open for one hour each alternately, starting with Q, then the tank will be full in how many hours ?

A) 9 hrs B) 7 hrs
C) 13 hrs D) 11 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7 hrs

Explanation:

Given,

P can fill in 12 hrs

Q can fill in 15 hrs

R can fill in 20 hrs

=> Volume of tank = LCM of 12, 15, 20 = 60 lit

=> P alone can fill the tank in 60/12 = 5 hrs

=> Q alone can fill the tank in 60/15 = 4 hrs

=> R alone can fill the tank in 60/20 = 3 hrs

Tank can be filled in the way that

(P+Q) + (P+R) + (P+Q) + (P+R) + ....

=> Tank filled in 2 hrs = (5+4) + (5+3) = 9 + 8 = 17 lit

=> In 6 hrs = 17 x 6/2 = 51 lit

=> In 7th hr = 51 + (5+4) = 51 + 9 = 60 lit

=> So, total tank will be filled in 7 hrs.

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 30, 5

Explanation:

The figure may be labelled as shown

 

 

Rectangles :

 

The simplest rectangles are CVSR, VETS, RSWM and STKW i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of two components each are CETR, VEKW, RTKM and CVWM i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of three components each are ACRP, PRMO, EGHT and THIK i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of four components each are CEKM, AVSP, PSWO,VGHS and SHIW i.e 5 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of five components each are AETP, PTKO, CGHR and RHIM i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of six components each are ACMO and EGIK i.e 2 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of eight components each are AGHP, PHIO, AVWO and VGIW i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of ten components each are AEKO and CGIM i.e 2 in number.

 

AGIO is the only rectangle having sixteen components

 

Total number of rectangles in the given figure = 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 30.

 

Hexagons :

 

The hexagons in the given figure are CDEKLM, CEUKMQ, CFHJMQ, BEUKNP and BFHJNP. So, there are 5 hexagons in the given figure.
