A. 36 years
B. 24 years
C. 30 years
D. 18 years
20 + 24 + 8 * 2 = 60/2 = 30
A. 36 years
B. 24 years
C. 30 years
D. 18 years
20 + 24 + 8 * 2 = 60/2 = 30
A. 24.3 m
B. 243 m
C. 2430 m
D. 24300 m
A. -21
B. 1
C. 61
D. 21
Explanation:
a2 + b2 + ab = a2 + b2 + 2ab – ab
i.e., (a + b)2 – ab
from x2 – 9x + 20 = 0, we have
a + b = 9 and ab = 20. Hence the value of required expression (9)2 – 20 = 61.
A. Rs.849.40
B. Rs.877.40
C. Rs.901.60
D. Rs.815.20
E. None of these
Let the costs of each kg of apples and each kg of rice be Rs.a and Rs.r respectively.
10a = 24r and 6 * 20.50 = 2r
a = 12/5 r and r = 61.5
a = 147.6
Required total cost = 4 * 147.6 + 3 * 61.5 + 5 * 20.5
= 590.4 + 184.5 + 102.5 = Rs.877.40
A. 1:3
B. 4:3
C. 2:3
D. 2:1
Work done by 20 women in 1 day = 1/16
Work done by 1 woman in 1 day = 1/(16×20)
Work done by 16 men in 1 day = 1/15
Work done by 1 man in 1 day = 1/(15×16)
Ratio of the capacity of a man and woman =1/(15×16) : 1/(16×20) = 1/15 : 1/20
= 1/3 :1/4 = 4:3
A. Rs. 6400
B. Rs. 5600
C. Rs. 5000
D. Rs. 4800
E. None of these
Explanation:
Given SP = Rs. 6800
Marked price = [SP(100)]/(100 – d%) = (6800 * 100)/(100 – 15) = Rs. 8000
If SP = Rs. 8000, profit = 60%
CP = [SP(100)]/(100 + 60) = (8000 * 100)/160 = Rs. 5000
A. 5 km
B. 5.5 km
C. 6 km
D. 6.5 km
Average speed = ( 2 X 3 X 2/3 + 2 ) km/ hr = 12/5 km/ hr. Distance travelled = ( 12/5 X 5 )km = 12 km. So Distance between house and school = ( 12/2 )km = 6 km.
