1. One Dozen Notebooks quoted at 125 are available at 20% discount. How many notebooks can be bought for Rs 75?
One dozen notebooks = 12 notebooks
MRP of 12 Notebooks = 125
Discount % = 20
Discount in Rupee = 125 x `\frac{20}{100}`
= `\frac{125}{5}`
= 25 Rupee
Hence cost of 12 notebooks = 100
or
Rupee 100 buys = 12 notebooks
Rupee 75 buys = `\frac{12}{100}` x 75
= 9 notebooks .
2. `{(x\;+\frac1x)}^3` = 27 then now value of `x^2\+\frac1{x^{2\}}` ?
a) 11
b) 9
c) 25
d) 7
`{(x\;+\frac1x)}^3` = 27
`{(x\;+\frac1x)}` = 3
`x^2\+\frac1{x^{2\}}` = `3^2` - 2 = 7 as ( `{(x\;+\frac1x)}` = a
3. `\frac{x^4+x^2+1}{x^2+x+1}`
`\frac{x^4+x^2+1}{x^2+x+1}\=\frac{x^4+x^2+1+x^2-x^2}{x^2+x+1}\=\frac{x^4+2x^2+1-x^2}{x^2+x+1}`
`\frac{{(x^2+1)}^2-x^2}{x^2+x+1}\;=\;\frac{(x^2+x+1)\;(x^2-x+1)}{x^2+x+1}\;=\;(x^2-x+1)\;\\\\\\\\\\`
4. String of a kite is 158m long and it makes an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal. What is height of kite?
a) 99
b) 79
c) 100
d) 80
Solution : SinΘ = 30°
using trigonometric function
SinΘ = `\frac{P}{H}`
= `\frac{BC}{AB}`
`\frac{1}{2}` = `\frac{BC}{158}`
`\frac{158}{2}` = 79 meter
5. What is perimeter of equilateral triangle whose height is 3.46 cm. ( √3 = 1.73)
Solution: Height of equilateral triangle = `\frac{√3a}{2}`
`\frac{√3a}{2}` = 3.46
= `\frac{3.46 ✖ 2}{1.73}`
= 4 cm
Perimeter of triangle = 3a = 3 x 4 = 12 cm
6 . if A: B = 11: 7 , B: C = 5:9 then find A:B:C ?
Solutions: Make equal B of both side
A:B = ( 11:7) x 5 = 55: 35
B:C = ( 5:9) x 7 = 35: 63
A:B:C = 55: 35: 63
7. Inner and Outer radii of two concentric circles are 6.7cm and 9.5 cm respectively. What is difference between their circumference?
Solution: Let Radius of larger circle = R cm
Radius of smaller circle = r cm
circumference of larger circle = 2ᐱR
circumference of smaller circle = 2ᐱr
difference between their circumference = 2ᐱR - 2ᐱr
= 2ᐱ( R - r)
= 2 x `\frac{22}{7}` ( 9.5 - 6.7)
= 1.76 cm
8 . By selling an article for Rupee 1,170 Elisa suffers as much loss as she would have gained by selling it at a profit of 22%. If she sells it for Rupee 1450 then what is her loss or profit percent?
Solution: Let Cost Price = C.P = x Rupee
Selling Price= S.P = 1,170 Rupee
Loss = C.P - S.P
= x - 1,170
Profit on selling at 22% gain = `\frac{122x}{100}` - x
According to question
x - 1,170 = `\frac{122x}{100}` - x
x - 1,170 = `\frac{22x}{100}`
x - `\frac{22x}{100}` = 1170
`\frac{78x}{100}` = 1170
x = 1500
loss% = `\frac{1500 - 1450}{1500}`
= 3.3%
9. A boat can travel with a speed of 19km/h in still water. If speed of stream is 3 km/h, what will be total time to 88 km downstream and 24 km upstream.
Solution: Upstream speed = 19 - 3 = 16km/h
downstream speed = 19 + 3 = 22 km/h
Time = `\frac{Distance}{Speed}`
Upstream time = `\frac{24}{16}` hour
Downstream time = `\frac{88}{22}` = 4 hour
Total time = 5.5 hour
10. Sin A - Cos A = 0 then what is Cot A
Solutions: if SinA - Cos A = 0
Sin A = Cos A
Cot A = `\frac{CosA}{SinA}`
= `\frac{CosA}{CosA}`
= 1
