A shopkeeper announces a discount of 10% on a washing machine set. The marked price of washing machine is 12000.how much will a customer have to pay for buying the washing machine set if the rate of sales tax is 8%? (i) The VAT paid by the shopkeeper (ii) Total amount that the consumer pays for the washing machine.

Answer»

Given Discount = 10%, m. p = Rs.12,000, S.T = 8% 

Amount paid = S.P =? 

Discount of 10% on mp = 10% of Rs.12,000 

New m.p=12,000 – 1,200 = Rs.10,800 

\(=\frac{10}{100}\times 12,000 = 71,200\)

∴ Total amount to be paid = 10,800+8% of 10,800 

\(= 10,800 + \frac{8}{100}\times 10,800 \)

= 10,800 + 864 = Rs.11,664

9. \( \frac{x^{2}-6 x+9}{5-4 x-x^{2}} \geqslant 0 \)

Answer»

\(\frac{x^2 - 6x + 9}{5 - 4x - x^2} \ge 0\)

⇒ \(\frac{(x - 3)^2}{-(x^2 + 4x - 5)} \ge 0\)

⇒ \(\frac{(x - 3)^2}{(x + 5) (x - 1)} \le 0\)

⇒ \((x -3)^2 = 0 \; or\;(x + 5) (x - 1) < 0\)   \((\because (x - 3)^2 \ge 0)\) 

⇒ \(x = 3 \;or\; -5< x< 1\)

⇒ \(x \in (-5, 1) \cup \{3\}\)

Monthly income of A and B are in the ratio 2:3 and their monthly expenditure are in the ratio 3:5. If each saves Rs. 100 per month. Find the monthly incomes of A and B.

Answer»

Let the monthly incomes be 2x and 3x respectively since their savings are Rs. 100 their expenditure would be (2x – 100) and (3x – 100) 

Given (2x - 100)/(3x - 100) = 3/5 ⇒ x = Rs. 100 

∴ Monthly incomes of A = Rs 400 

Monthly income of B = Rs. 600

If A, B, and C can do a piece of work in 15, 30, and 60 days respectively. In how many days together they will do the same work?1. 10 days2. 12 days3. 60/11 days4. 60/7 days

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 60/7 days

Given:

A can do the work in 15 days

B can do the work in 30 days

C can do the work in 60 days

Concept used:

If a person does the work in x days then work done by the person in 1 day = 1/x of total work.

Calculation:

Part of work done by A in a day = 1/15

Part of work done by B in a day = 1/30

Part of work done by C in a day = 1/60

Together they will do 1/15 + 1/30 + 1/60 of the total work in a day

Together they will do 7/60 of the total work in a day

Time taken to do the work = 1/(7/60)

⇒ Time taken to do the work = 60/7

∴ Together they will do the work in 60/7 days

Direction: Given below are two quantities named I and II. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the two quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose among the possible answers.Quantity I: 3 kmphQuantity II: A boat sails in still water at 8.5 km/h, but takes thrice as long to sail upstream than downstream. Find the speed of the stream.1. Quantity I ˃ Quantity II2. Quantity I ˂ Quantity II3. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II4. Quantity II ≥ Quantity I5. Quantity II = Quantity I

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Quantity I ˂ Quantity II

Quantity I: 3 kmph

Quantity II:

Speed of boat = 8.5 km/h

Let the speed of the stream be x km/h

⇒ Downstream speed = (8.5 + x)

⇒ Upstream speed = (8.5 – x)

According to the question,

(8.5 + x) = 3 × (8.5 – x)

⇒ 8.5 + x = 25.5 – 3x

⇒ 8.5 – 25.5 = -3x – x

⇒ 17 = 4x

⇒ x = 4.25

Speed of stream = 4.25 kmph

∴ Quantity I ˂ Quantity II

A can do a work in 6 days and B can do the same in 4 days. Both of them finish the work together and get Rs. 300. What is the share of A?1. Rs. 1202. Rs. 1503. Rs. 1804. Rs. 200

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 120

Given 

Time taken to complete a work  by A = 6 days 

Time taken to complete a work by B = 4 days

Both of them finish the work together and get = 300 Rs 

Formula used 

Efficiency = Work/Time 

Calculation 

Let the LCM of 6 and 4 = 12 

Then total work = 12 

The efficiency of A in 1 day = 12/6 = 2

The efficiency of B in 1 day = 12/4 = 3 

The efficiency of A and B in 1 day  = 2 + 3 = 5 

Then,  A gets  Rs. = (Total amount/The efficiency of A and B in 1 day) × efficiency of A

⇒ (300/5) × 2 = 120

∴ The share of A is 120 Rs.

Pipe A and B can fill a tank in 10 hours and 20 hours respectively, if an outlet pipe C is left open which can empty the tank in 40 hours then in how much time will the tank be filled if they are opened together?1. 10 hours2. 40/7 hours3. 8 hours4. 7 hours

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 8 hours

Given:

A can fill a tank in 10 hours

B can fill a tank in 20 hours

C can empty a tank in 40 hours

Concept used:

If a tap can fill or empty a tank in x hours then the tank filled or emptied by the tap in 1 hour = 1/x of the total tank.

Calculation:

A can fill a tank in 10 hours

Tank filled by P in 1 hour = 1/10

B can fill a tank in 20 hours

Tank filled by Q in 1 hour = 1/20

C can empty a tank in 40 hours

Tank emptied by R in 1 hour = 1/40

Tank filled in 1 hour = 1/10 + 1/20 - 1/40

Tank filled in 1 hour = 5/40

Tank filled in 1 hour = 1/8

The tank will be filled in 1/(1/8) hours

∴ The tank will be filled in 8 hours

Direction: Given below are two quantities named I and II. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the two quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose among the possible answers.Quantity I: Cost price of an article is 50% of the selling price and the selling price is Rs. 8000. Find his profit percent.Quantity II: An article is sold at a profit of Rs. 200, which is 40% of its cost price. If its C.P. is increased by 20% and the selling price is Rs. 1000. Then, find the new profit percent.1. Quantity I = Quantity II2. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II3. Quantity I ≤ Quantity II4. Quantity I ˂ Quantity II5. Quantity I ˃ Quantity II

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : Quantity I ˃ Quantity II

Quantity I:

C.P = 50% of selling price

⇒ 50 % × 8000 = Rs. 4000

⇒ Profit = Rs. (8000 – 4000) = Rs. 4000

Profit percent = (4000/4000) × 100 = 100 %

Quantity II:

Let the C.P. be Rs. x

⇒ 40% of x = 200

⇒ x = (200 × 100)/40

⇒ x = Rs. 500

Revised cost price = 500 + 20% of 500

⇒ 500 + 100 = Rs. 600

⇒ Profit = Rs. 1000 – Rs. 600 = Rs. 400

Profit percentage = (400/600) × 100%

⇒ 200/3%

Quantity I > Quantity II

A die is tossed thrice. Find the probability of getting an odd number at least once.

Answer»

When a dice is tossed thrice, the sample space, is S = {(x,y,z):x,y z e (1,2,3,4,5,6}} 

which contains 6 x 6 x 6 = 216 Equally likely sample points.

 Let E: “an odd number at least once” 

E1: not an odd number any time 

E1: "An even number on all throws” 

E1 = {(x, y, z): x,y, ze{2,4,6}j 

e1 contains 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 equally likely simple events. Required probability = P(E) = 1 - P(E).

= 1 = 27/216 = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8

Ravi can complete a task in 6 days and Mohan can complete the task in 9 days. In how many days can Ravi and Mohan together complete the same task?1. \(3\frac{3}{5}\) days2. 9 days3. 15 days4. \(3\frac{2}{5}\) days

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : \(3\frac{3}{5}\) days

Given:

Ravi can complete the task in 6 days

Mohan can complete the task in 9 days

Formula used:

Total work = Efficiency × Time

Calculation:

Taking L.C.M of 6 and 9

⇒ L.C.M of 6 and 9 = 18

⇒ Efficiency of Ravi = (18/6) = 3

⇒ Efficiency of Mohan = (18/9) = 2

Time taken by Ravi and Mohan together to complete the work = 18/(3 + 2) = 18/5

⇒ 18/5 = \(3\frac{3}{5}\;days\)

Ravi and Mohan together can complete the task in \(3\frac{3}{5}\;days\).
