Find the centre and radius of the sphere passing through the points O(0, 0, 0), A(a, 0, 0), B(0, b, 0) and C(0, 0, c).

Answer»

Let H(x, y, z) be the centre of the sphere

so that HO = HA = HB = HC = Radius. Now 

HO = HA

= (x - a)2 + y2 + z2

= x2 + y2 + z2

x = a/2

Similarly 

HO = HB

y = b/ 2

and HO = HC 

z = c/ 2

Therefore, the centre H is given by

(a/2, b/2, c/2)

and the radius is given by

HO = 1/2 √(a2 + b2 + c2)

If derivative of `y=|x-1|^(sinx)` at `x=-(pi)/2` is `(1+api)^(b)` then value of `|1/a+4b|` is

Answer» Correct Answer - 6
`y=|x-1|^(sinx)`
`y=(1-x)^(sin)` at `x=(pi)/2`
`logy=sinx.log(1-x)`
`1/y (dy)/(dx)=cosxlog(1-x)-(sinx)/(1-x)`
`(dy)/(dx)-|x-1|^(sinx)[cosx.log(1-x)-(sinx)/(1-x)]`
`=(1+(pi)/2)^(-1)[0+1/(1+(pi)/2)]=(1+(pi)/2)^(-2)`
`implies a=1/2,b=-2`
So `1/a+4b=2-8=-6`

A person sold two items a water bottle and a pillow set. The selling prices of both the items were same. The profit incurred on the pillow set was double than the profit incurred on selling the bottle. The cost price of the bottle was Rs. 600 more than the cost price of the pillow set, upon selling both the items the person incurred a total profit of Rs. 1800 and profit percentage on selling the bottle was 200/17%. Find the selling price the pillow set.1. Rs. 54002. Rs. 57003. Rs. 51004. Rs. 5900

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 5700

Given:

The selling prices of water bottle and pillow were same.

The profit incurred on the pillow set was double than the profit incurred on selling the bottle.

The cost price of the bottle was Rs. 600 more than the cost price of the pillow set.

Total profit of Rs. 1800 and profit percentage on selling the bottle was 200/17%.

Formula Used:

Profit or Gain = Selling price – Cost Price

Loss = Cost Price – Selling Price

Profit percentage = (Profit/Cost Price) x 100

Loss percentage = (Loss/Cost price) x 100

Calculation:

The profit incurred on the pillow set was double than the profit incurred on selling the bottle.

Profit on pillow = Rs. 1200

Profit on bottle = Rs. 600

⇒ 200/17% = 600

⇒ 1% = 51

⇒ 100% = 5100 = cost price of bottle

So, cost price of pillow = Rs. 4500

Selling price of pillow = Rs. (4500 + 1200) = Rs. 5700

∴ Selling price is Rs. 5700

A shopkeeper pays 12% of the cost price as tax while purchasing an item whose cost is Rs.500. He wants to earn a profit of 20% after giving a discount of 16% on the marked price. So, the marked price should be:1. Rs. 7802. Rs. 9603. Rs. 8404. Rs. 800

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 800

Given:
CP of item = Rs.500

Tax payed on purchasing = 12% 

Profit % while selling = 20%

Discount % given while selling = 16%

Concept Used:

Profit value = {(100 + % Profit)/100} × CP

Discounted price = {100/(100 – % Discount)} × CP

Calculation:

CP = Rs.500

After-tax paid CP,

⇒ 112/100 × 500

⇒ 560

He wants a profit of 20%

The selling price should be,

⇒ 120/100 × 560

⇒ Rs. 672

The discount he wants to give is 16%,

⇒ 100/84 × 672

⇒ 800

∴ The marked price of the article is Rs. 800.
