Between Shivani and Parinita, a money was distributed in the ratio of 5 : 7. If Parinita gives Rs. 5 to Shivani, the ratio will change to 3 : 4. What is the amount divided?1. Rs. 3962. Rs. 4083. Rs. 4204. Rs. 432

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Rs. 420

Given:

Money was distributed in the ratio of 5 : 7.

New ratio = 3 ∶ 4

Concept used:

Using linear equation.

Calculation:

The money distributed between Shivani and Parinita be 5x and 7x. 

Parinita gives Rs. 5 to Shivani ,

Parinita's money = 7x – 5.

Shivani's money = 5x + 5.

According to question,

 (5x + 5)/(7x – 5) = 3/4

⇒ 4(5x + 5) = 3(7x – 5)

⇒ 20x + 20 = 21x – 15

⇒ 20 + 15 = 21x – 20x

⇒ x = 35

Total amount = 5x + 7x 

= 12x

= 12 × 35

= 420

∴ The amount divided is Rs.420.

Let the two numbers be 19x and 26x.

If 2 added to 19x = 19x + 2.

According to the question,

(19x + 2)/26x = 3/4

⇒ 4(19x + 2) = 3 × 26x

⇒ 76x + 8 = 78x

⇒ 2x = 8

⇒ x = 4

So, Big number =  26 × 4 = 104

∴The big number is 104.

By selling a plot for Rs. 40,50,000 a man gets 10% loss, and then at what price (in Rs) should he sell to gain 20%?1. 55,00,0002. 45,00,0003. 54,00,0004. 50,00,0005. None of the above

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 54,00,000

Calculation:

Selling Price = 40,50,000

Let the CP of the plot be x

∴ 40,50,000 = x – (x × 10%)

⇒ 40,50,000 = 9x/10

⇒ x = 45,00,000

CP = 45,00,000

So, SP to get 20% profit

⇒ 45,00,000 + (4500000 × 20%)

⇒ 54,00,000

He should sell at 54,00,000. 

23881.

If selling price is doubled, the profit triples. Find the profit percent.1. 66 2/3 %2. 100%3. 105 1/3 %4. 120%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 100%

Given:

New Selling price = 2 × SP

New profit = 3 × P

Concept used:

Profit % = {(SP - CP)/CP} × 100

Calculation:

P = SP - CP      ----(1)

3P = 2SP - CP      ----(2)

On multiplying equation (1) by 3, we get 

3P = 3SP - 3CP     ----(3)

Equating (3) and (2),

3SP - 3CP = 2SP - CP

⇒ SP = 2CP

Now, from (1) we have

P = SP - CP

⇒ P = 2CP - CP

⇒ P = CP

Profit percentage = (P/CP) × 100 = 100%

∴ The profit percentage is 100%.

23882.

If selling price is doubled profit triples. Find profit percent.1. 200%2. 400%3. 50%4. 100%

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 100%

Formula used:

Profit = SP - CP

Profit % = (Profit/CP) × 100

Here, SP → Selling price, CP → Cost price

Concept used:

Profit and the loss is always given on CP

Calculation:

Let the SP and CP be x and y respectively

Profit = (x - y)

Now, the S.P. is doubled, then the new S.P. is 2x

New profit = (2x - y)

According to the question:

⇒ 3(x - y) = 2x - y

⇒ 3x - 3y = 2x - y

⇒ x = 2y      ----(1)

Now, Profit = SP - CP

⇒ x - y = 2y - y = y      ----(from eq (1))

Profit % = (Profit/CP) × 100

⇒ (y/y) × 100 = 100%

∴ The profit is 100%

When operated separately, pipe A takes 5 hours less than pipe B to fill a cistern, and when both pipes are operated together, the cistern gets filled in 6 hours. In how much time (in hours) will pipe B fill the cistern, if operated separately?1. 92. 103. 154. 18

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 15

Given:

Pipe A takes 5 hours less than pipe B to fill a cistern.

Time to fill the tank by pipe A and B together = 6 hours

Formula used:

Efficiency = Total work/total time

Concept used:

Let time to fill the whole tank by pipe B alone be x hours.

So, time to fill the whole tank by pipe A will be (x - 5) hours.

Let capacity of total tank be 6x(x - 5) units.

Efficiency of pipe A = 6x(x - 5)/(x - 5)

⇒ 6x units/hour

Efficiency of pipe B = 6x(x - 5)/x

⇒ 6(x - 5) units/hour

Efficiency of A and B together = 6x(x - 5)/6

⇒ x(x - 5) units/hour

Equating combined efficiency,

6x + 6(x - 5) = x(x - 5)

⇒ 6x + 6x - 30 = x2 - 5x

⇒ 12x - 30 = x2 - 5x

⇒ x2 - 5x - 12x + 30 = 0

⇒ x2 - 17x + 30 = 0

⇒ (x - 15)(x - 2) = 0

Taking (x - 15) = 0

⇒ x = 15 hours

∴ Pipe B will fill the cistern in 15 hours.

23884.

The sum of two numbers is 156 and their H.C.F is 12. Find the number of such pairs1. 12. 23. 34. 6

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 6

Given:

Sum of the numbers = 156

H.C.F of numbers = 12

Concept used:

If H.C.F of two numbers is H, then number are Hx and Hy. Where x and y are relatively prime number or coprimes.

Calculation:

Let numbers are 12x and 12y, where x and y are coprimes

Now, 12x + 12y = 156

⇒ 12 (x + y) = 156

⇒ x + y = 156/12 = 13

∴ possible values if x and y are

(x = 1, y = 12), (x = 2, y = 11)

(x = 3, y = 10), (x = 4, y = 9)

(x = 5, y = 8), (x = 6, y = 7)

Therefore, possible numbers of pairs = 6

What least number should be subtracted from 2983 so that the resulting number when divided by 9, 10 and 15, the remainder in each case is 3?1. 102. 133. 124. 9

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 10

Given :

A number when divided by 9,10 and 15 the remainder in each case be 3

What least number should be subtracted from 2983 to get desired result

Concept used :

Take the LCM of given numbers to get required value and perform accordingly

Calculation :

LCM of 9,10 and 15 = 90

Now, when 2983 divided by 90 the remainder is 13 

⇒ 13 should be subtracted from 2983 to make it divisible by all three numbers i.e. 9,10 and 15

⇒ Desired number = 2983 - 13

⇒ 2970

but there should be remainder of 3 in each case

⇒ 3 must be added to 2970

⇒ 2973

⇒ 10 is the least number that should be subtracted from 2983 to get desired result

Simplify: \({\left[ {\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{2}} \right)\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{3}} \right)\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{4}} \right)\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{5}} \right) \ldots \ldots ..\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{{100}}} \right)} \right]^{ - 0.5}} = \;?\)1. 12. 103. 0.14. 100

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 10

We are given the following equation:

\({\left[ {\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{2}} \right)\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{3}} \right)\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{4}} \right)\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{5}} \right) \ldots \ldots ..\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{{100}}} \right)} \right]^{ - 0.5}} = \;?\)

⇒ [(1/2) × (2/3) × (3/4) × (4/5) × .................. × (99/100)]–0.5 = ?

In this equation, each denominator of previous term will be cancelled out by the numerator of the next term.

Hence, we obtain:

⇒ [1 × (1/100)]–0.5

⇒ (100)0.5

⇒ 10

∴ \({\left[ {\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{2}} \right)\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{3}} \right)\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{4}} \right)\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{5}} \right) \ldots \ldots ..\left( {1 - \;\frac{1}{{100}}} \right)} \right]^{ - 0.5}} = \;10\)

The points (-a, -b), (0, 0), (a, b) and (a2, ab) are:1. Vertices of a parallelogram.2. Collinear.3. Vertices of a rectangle.4. None of these.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Collinear.

Concept:

  • The slope m of the line joining the two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is m = \(\rm \frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\).
  • The slopes of parallel lines are the same.
  • If the lines have the same slope and also have a common point, then they are the same line.

 

Calculation:

Let's say that the points are A(-a, -b), B(0, 0), C(a, b) and D(a2, ab).

Using the slope formula, the slope of the line AB will be:

mAB\(\rm \frac{-b-0}{-a-0}=\frac{-b}{-a}=\frac{b}{a}\)

Also, the slopes of the lines BC, CD and AD are:

mBC\(\rm \frac{0-b}{0-a}=\frac{-b}{-a}=\frac{b}{a}\)

mCD\(\rm \frac{b-ab}{a-{a}^{2}}=\frac{b(1-a)}{a(1-a)}=\frac{b}{a}\)

mAD\(\rm \frac{-b-ab}{-a-{a}^{2}}=\frac{b(-1-a)}{a(-1-a)}=\frac{b}{a}\)

Since the slopes of all the lines are same and they also have some common points between them, we can say that the points are actually collinear.

The correct answer is B. Collinear.

Let the number be x

According to the question,

⇒ 100 – [25 × (x/100)] = x

⇒ x + (25x/100) = 100

⇒ 125x = 10000

⇒ x = 10000/125

⇒ x = 80

∴ The number is 80.

Three workers A, B and C together can complete the work in 5 days. Worker A is 25% more efficient than B and C takes 8 days more than A to complete the work when working alone. If worker D can complete the task in 24 days working with A, how many days it will take for both of them to complete the work?1. 6 days2. 8 days3. 16 days4. 4 days5. 5 days

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 8 days

Worker A is 25% more efficient than B and C takes 8 days more than A to complete the work 

∴ Let the time taken by B to complete the work be x days

Then, time taken by A = x × (100/125) = 4x/5

Time taken by C = (4x/5) + 8 = 4(x + 10)/5

Together can complete the work in 5 days

∴ (1/x) + (5/4x) + (5/4x + 40) = 1/5

⇒ {4(x + 10) + 5(x + 10) + 5x}/4x(x + 10) = 1/5

⇒ (14x + 90)/(4x2 + 40x) = 1/5

⇒ 70x + 450 = 4x2 + 40x

⇒ 4x2 – 30x – 450 = 0

⇒ 2x2 – 15x – 225 = 0

⇒ 2x2 – 30x + 15x – 225 = 0

⇒ 2x(x – 15) + 15(x – 15) = 0

⇒ x = 15, -15/2

Rejecting negative value of x

Time taken by A = (4 × 15)/5 = 12 days

Time taken by D = 24 days

∴ Working together 

⇒ (1/12) + (1/24) = (2 + 1)/24 = 1/8

∴ Time taken by both of them is 8 days

23891.

In certain mixture of honey and water, quantity of water is twice the quantity of honey. If 'x' ml of mixture is taken out and 80 ml of honey is added the ratio of honey and water in the mixture becomes 21 ∶ 26. What will be the ratio of honey and water in the final mixture, if '2x' ml of honey is added in the mixture and quantity of water at the beginning was 300ml. 1. 30 ∶ 412. 33 ∶ 263. 35 ∶ 224. 9 ∶ 115. 21 ∶ 29

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 33 ∶ 26

Given:

Quantity of water is twice the quantity of honey

Quantity of water initially = 300ml

Solution:

Quantity of water initially = 300ml

∴ Quantity of honey in the mixture = 300/2 = 150 ml

Now, 'x' ml of mixture is taken out and 80 ml of honey is added the ratio becomes 21 ∶ 26

Quantity of honey left = 150 – x × (150/450) + 80 = 230 – x/3

Quantity of water left = 300 – x × (300/450) = 300 – 2x/3

∴ (230 – x/3)/(300 – 2x/3) = 21/26

⇒ (690 – x)/(900 – 2x) = 21/26

⇒ 17490 – 26x = 18900 – 42x

⇒ 16x = 960

⇒ x = 60

∴ 60 ml of mixture is taken out

Quantity of honey = 230 – (60/3) = 230 – 20 = 210

Quantity of water = 300 – (120/3) = 300 – 40 = 260

Now,  '2x' ml of honey is added in the mixture 

∴ Quantity of honey = 210 + 120 = 330

Quantity of water = 260

∴ Required ratio = 330/260 = 33/26

∴ The ratio of honey and water in the final mixture is 33 ∶ 26

Explanation:

For larger values of K, it will encircle the critical point (-1+j0), which makes closed-loop system unstable. 

23896.

The forward path transfer function of a unity negative feedback system is given by G(s) = K/((s + 2)(s - 1))The value of K which will place both the poles of the closed-loop system at the same location, is ______.  

Answer»

Given G(s) = k/((s + 2)(s - 1))

H(s) = 1

Characteristic equation: 1 + G(s)H(s) = 0

1 + K/((s + 2)(s - 1)) = 0

The poles are s1,2 = - 1± √(9/4 - 4k)

If 9/k - k = 0, then both poles of the closed loop system at the same location.

So, K = 9/4  ⇒ 2.25
