A. 15
B. 9
C. 18
D. 21
3x + 5x + 7x = 45
x =3
3x = 9
A. 15
B. 9
C. 18
D. 21
3x + 5x + 7x = 45
x =3
3x = 9
A. 10%
B. 12%
C. 6%
D. 8%
Explanation:
5000 = 72(100/R)2
5 R2 = 720 => R = 12
A. 85 miles
B. 70 miles
C. 50 miles
D. 120 miles
A. 2000
B. 3000
C. 4000
D. 6000
Explanation:
Let 815 + ? be k
=> 84k/100 – (815 * 84)/100 = 1680
=>84(k/100 – 815/100) = 1680
=> (k – 815)/100 = 20 => k = 2815
k = 815 + ? = 2815 => ? = 2000
A. 0.1
B. 0.2
C. 0.3
D. 0.4
Explanation:
As numerator is of the form a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b), so the given expression simplifying becomes
(0.92 – 0.82)/(0.9 + 0.8) (0.9 + 0.8) (0.9 – 0.8)/0.9 + 0.8 = 0.1
A. 70
B. 50
C. 40
D. 60
Amount of work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/30
Amount of work done by A and B in 20 days = 20 × (1/30) = 20/30 = 2/3
Remaining work – 1 – 2/3 = 1/3
A completes 1/3 work in 20 days
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = (1/3)/20 = 1/60
=> A can complete the work in 60 days
A. 225 cm2
B. 275 cm2
C. 285 cm2
D. 315 cm2
Area of a trapezium = 1/2 (sum of parallel sides) * (perpendicular distance between them) = 1/2 (20 + 18) * (15) = 285 cm2
