At the end of one year, the profit ratio was 45 ∶ 42 ∶ 56, then the investment of B at the beginning was1. Rs. 3202. Rs. 3603. Rs. 2404. Rs. 900

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 900

Given:

A, B, and C entered into a business and the ratio of their investments was 5 ∶ 3 ∶ 4.

Calculations:

Let the ratio of initial investments be 5x, 3x, and 4x.

Ratio of their investments = 5x × 12 ∶ {3x × 6 + (3x + 1000) × 6} ∶ {4x × 8 + (4x + 2000) × 4}

⇒ 30x ∶ (18x + 3000) ∶ (24x + 4000)

According to the question,

\(\Rightarrow \frac{30x}{18x\ + \ 3000}\ =\ \frac{45}{42}\)

\(\Rightarrow \frac{30x}{18x\ + \ 3000}\ =\ \frac{15}{14}\)

⇒ 28x = 18x + 3000

⇒ 10x = 3000

⇒ x = 300

The B’s investment = 3x = 3 × 300 = Rs. 900

∴ The B's investment is Rs. 900.

Show that 5 + 3√2 is an irrational number.

Answer»

Solution: 
Let us assume, to the contrary that 5 + 3√2 is rational. 
So, we can find coprime integers a and b(b ≠ 0) 
such that 5 + 3√2 = a/b 
=> 3√2 = a/b - 5

=> √2 = (a - 5b)/3b 
Since a and b are integers,  (a - 5b)/3b is rational. 
So,  √2 is rational. 
But this contradicts the fact that √2 is irrational. 
Hence, 5 + 3√2  is irrational.

Water is flowing through a cylindrical pipe of internal diameter 2cm, into a cylindrical tank of base radius 40 cm at the rate of 0.7m/sec. By how much will the water rise in the tank in half an hour?

Answer»

For pipe, r = 1cm 

Length of water flowing in 1 sec, h = 0.7m = 7cm 

Cylindrical Tank, R = 40 cm, rise in water level = H

Volume of water flowing in 1 sec = πr2h = π x 1 x 1 x 70

= 70π 

Volume of water flowing in 60 sec = 70π x 60 

Volume of water flowing in 30 minutes = 70π x 60 x 30

Volume of water in Tank = πr2H = π x 40 x 40 x H 

Volume of water in Tank = Volume of water flowing in 30 minutes 

π x 40 x 40 x H = 70π x 60 x 30 

H = 78.75cm

If \( z_{1} \) and \( z_{2} \) are two distinct non-zero complex numbers such that \( \left|z_{1}\right|=\left|z_{2}\right| \), then \( \frac{z_{1}+z_{2}}{z_{1}-z_{2}} \) is always (A) purely real (B) purely imaginary (C) equal to zero (D) none of these

Answer»

z1 & z2 are two non zero distinct complex numbers and |z1| = |z2|

Now, \(\frac{z_1+z_2}{z_1-z_2}=\frac{(z_1+z_2)}{(z_1-z_2)}\times\frac{\overline{z_1-z_2}}{\overline{z_1-z_2}}\)

\(=\frac{(z_1+z_2)(\bar{z_1}-\bar{z_2})}{|z_1-z_2|}\) (\(\because z\bar z = |z|^2\))

\(=\frac{z_1\bar{z_1}-z_1\bar{z_2}+z_2\bar{z_1}-z_2\bar z_2}{|z_1-\bar z_2|^2}\) 

\(=\frac{|z_1|^2-|z_2|^2-z_1\bar z_2+z_2\bar z_1}{|z_1-z_2|^2}\)

\(=\frac{z_2\bar z_1-z_1\bar z_2}{|z_1-z_2|^2}\)....(1)

Let z1 = a + ib & z2 = c + id

Then \(\bar z_1\) = a - ib & \(\bar z_2\) = c - id

\(\therefore\) \(z_1\bar z_2\) = (a + ib)(c - id) = ac + bd + i(bc - ad)

\(z_2\bar z_1 = \) (c + id) (c - id) = ac + bd + i(ad - bc)

\(\therefore\) \(z_2\bar z_1-z_1\bar z_2 = \) (ac + bd + i(ad - bc)) - (ac + bd) - i(ad - bc)

 = 2i(ad - bc)

\(\therefore\) From (1)

\(\frac{z_1+z_2}{z_1-z_2}=\frac{2i(ad-bc)}{|z_1-z_2|^2}\) which is a purely imaginary number.

1721.

If \( z_{1}-z_{2} \) are two complex numbers such that \( \left|\frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}\right|=1 \) and \( \arg \left(z_{1} z_{2}\right)=0 \), then(A) \( z_{1}=z_{2} \)(B) \( \left|z_{2}\right|^{2}=z_{1} z_{2} \)(C) \( z_{1} z_{2}=1 \)(D) none of these

Answer»

From the first equation, |z1|=|z2|

From the second equation, arg(z1)+arg(z2)=0, the complex numbers are conjugate of each other.

So |z1|2=|z2|2=z1z2=Re2(z)+Im(z)2. Option (B) is correct!!

1. Let \( z_{1}, z_{2} \in C \) such that \( \left|z_{1}+z_{2}\right|=\sqrt{3} \) and \( \left|z_{1}\right|=\left|z_{2}\right|=1 \) then thevalue of \( \left|z_{1}-z_{2}\right| \) is

Answer»

We have |z1 + z2| = √3

and |z1| = |z2| = 1

∵ |z1 + z2|2 + |z1 - z2|2 = 2(|z1|2 + |z2|2)

⇒ |z1 - z2|2 = 2(|z1|2 + |z2|2) - |z1+z2|2

= 2(1+1) - 3  (∵ |z1| = |z2| = 1 and |z1 + z2| = √3)

= 4 - 3 = 1
