A solid cube of edge 14 cm is melted down and recasted into smaller and equal cubes each of edge 2 cm; find the number of smaller cubes obtained.

Answer»

Edge of the big solid cube = 14 cm

Volume of the big solid cube = 14 x 14 x 14 cm3 = 2744 cm3 

Edge of the small cube = 2 cm

Volume of one small cube = 2 x 2 x 2 cm3 = 8 cm3 

Number of smaller cubes obtained = Volume of big cube/Volume of one small cube = 2744/8 = 343

If the sum of 'n'​​​​​​ terms of two different AP are in ratio (2n+4) : (5n+5),then find the respective ratio of their 12th terms.

Answer» {n/2(2a1+(n-1)d1}/{n/2(2a2+ (n-1)d2} =(2n+4)/(5n+5)

Where a1,a2 are first terms of two APs and d1 and d2 are common difference.

We have

{(2a1+(n-1)d1}/{2a2+(n-1)d2}=(2n+4)/(5n+5)

Putting n=25 we have

(A1)12/(A2)12 = 54/130=27/65

Given, (2n + 4) / (5n + 5) = { 2a1 + (n-1) d1 } / { 2a2 + (n-1) d2 }

Putting n = 1, we get a2 = 5/3 a1 .....(1)

Putting n = 2 and n = 3, we get,

d1 = 2/5 d2 .....(2)

3/5 d2 = a1 ......(3)


So, we have the relations b/w a1, a2, d1 and d2. Hence, the ratio comes as 5/12

Volume of each cube = edge x edge x edge

= 3 x 3 x 3 cm2

= 27 cm3

Number of cubes in the surface structure = 15

Volume of the structure = 27 x 15 cm3

405 cm3

Prove that the area of an equilateral triangle described on one side of a square is equal to half the area of an equilateral triangle described on one of its diagonals.

Answer»

Let the side length of square ABCD is a.

The length of diagonal of square is \(\sqrt{a^2+a^2}\) = \(\sqrt 2 a\)

Let A1 and A2 are areas of equilateral triangles described on one side of square and one diagonal of that square, respectively.

And we also know that area of equilateral triangle whose side length is a is \(\frac{\sqrt 3}{4}\)a2 

∴ A1 = \(\frac{\sqrt 3}{4}\) a2

And A2 = \(\frac{\sqrt 3}{4}\) (\(\sqrt 2 a\))

= \(\frac{\sqrt 3}{4}\) × 2a2 

\(\frac{2\sqrt 3}{4}\) a2 

\(\frac{A_1}{A_2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) 

⇒ A1 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)A2

Hence Proved.

If 2 ampere and 3 ampere resistors are connected in series to a 12v source, what is the current through the circuit?

Answer»
R¹=2 ohm
R²= 3 ohm
As they are in series so, 
Equivalent resistance = 2+3= 5 ohm
Then, by Ohm's Law,
      I=V/R
Current = 12/5 = 2.4 Ampere

The incomes of two persons P and Q are in the ratio 5 ∶ 6. If each of them saves Rs.200 per month, the ratio of their expenditures is 3 ∶ 4. Find the income of Q.1. Rs.7402. Rs.8003. Rs.7504. Rs.600

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs.600

Given:

Income ratio of P and Q = 5 : 6

Individual savings of P and Q = ₹ 200

Expenditure ratio = 3 : 4

Formula used:

Profit = Investment × Time period

Calculation:

Let income of P be 5x

Let income of Q be 6x

(5x – 200)/(6x – 200) = 3/4

⇒ 20x – 800 = 18x – 600

⇒ 20x – 18x = 800 – 600

⇒ 2x = 200

⇒ x = 100

Income of P = 100 × 5 = 500

Income of Q = 100 × 6 = 600

The income of Q is 600.

In a class there are 20 boys and the remaining students are girls. The mean weights of the total 50 students is 23 kg. The mean weight of boys is 30.Then find out the mean weight of girls.

Answer»

Total weight of girls and boys = Mean x no. of students

 = 23 x 50 = 1150

Weight of boys = Mean of boys x no. of boys

 = 30 x 20 = 600

Weight of girls = Mean of girls x no. of girls

Total weight - Weight of boys = Mean of girls x 30

1150 - 600 = Mean of girls x 30

550 = Mean of girls x 30

\(\therefore\) Mean of girls ≡ 550/30 ≡ 18

Mean of the girls weight ≡ 18

The income of A and B is in the ratio 8 : 9. If their total income is increased by Rs.1700 and B’s income gets decreased by Rs 100 then the ratio of income of A and B becomes 9 : 8. Find the original income of A and B.1. Rs. 7000, Rs. 80002. Rs. 7000, Rs. 90003. Rs. 8000, Rs. 90004. Rs. 7200, Rs. 81005. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 7200, Rs. 8100

Given:

The ratio of income of A and B = 8 : 9

Increment in A’s income = 1700

The decrement in B’s income = 100

New ratio of income of A and B = 9 : 8

Formula used:

Income = Expenditure + Saving

Calculation:

Let the income of A and B is Rs. 8x and 9x respectively.

Then, (17x + 1700)/(9x – 100) = 17/8

⇒ 136x + 13600 = 153x – 1700

⇒ 136x – 153x = 13600 + 1700

⇒ 17x = 15300

⇒ x = 900

A’s income = 8 × 900

⇒ 7200

B’s income = 9 × 900

⇒ 8100

∴ The income of A and B is Rs. 7200 and Rs. 8100 respectively.

By making salt as a tool of protest, Gandhiji proved that any trivial issue can be snowballed into a popular strategy to trigger public protest and intensify a mass movement. Examine this statement in the light of Civil Disobedience Movement launched by Gandhiji.

Answer»

Civil Disobedience Movement: 

The Lahore Congress Session of 1929 decided to start a civil disobedience movement under the leadership of Gandhiji. This was the second mass movement launched by Gandhiji against the British.

With the civil disobedience movement, Gandhiji meant to disobey all anti-popular and antidemocratic laws made by the British government. As part of the movement, Gandhiji proposed the following.

  • To lift salt tax. 
  • To declare 50% tax relaxation for farmers. 
  • To increase the tax on imported foreign clothes. 
  • To release political prisoners. 
  • To cut short military budget and high salary of top officials. 
  • To dissolve the secret surveillance wing formed to watch Indians. 
  • To start coastal shipping service. 
  • To implement prohibition of liquor.

Gandhiji gave top priority to reducing salt tax due to a variety of reasons. He selected salt as a powerful tool against the British because:

  • Salt tax constituted two fifth portion of the income collected by the British through taxes. 
  • Salt tax was a heavy burden for the poor people. 
  • There was three fold hike on salt price. 
  • The British government banned small scale indegenous salt production. 
  • The demand for lifting salt tax was a slogan suitable to inspire all segments of the society.

Gandhiji began the civil disobedience with Salt Satyagraha. The Salt Satyagraha began with the famous Dandi March by Gandhiji on 30 March, 1930. Gandhiji along with 78 followers marched from Sabarmali Ashram to Dandi, a coastal village in Gujarat. He broke the salt law by making salt. Inspired by the call of Gandhiji, people in various parts of the country started to produce salt on their own, violating the British regulations.

Payyannur in Kerala, Vedaranyam in Tamil Nadu, Bombay in Maharashtra, Naokhali in Bengal and North West Frontier Province were some of the centres of this protest. As part of the protest, volunteers made salt and distributed it to the people, hoisted national flag and chanted anti- British slogans. Gandhiji was arrested and the movement was suppressed callously.
