A man spends $\frac{1}{5}$​ of his salary to meet pocket expenses and​ $\frac{4}{5}$ of the remainder to meet other expenses If his monthly savings amount to $Rs.1200$ his monthly salary is:
  • A
    $Rs.3, 750$
  • B
    $Rs.8, 500$
  • C
    $Rs.7, 000$
  • $Rs.7, 500$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$Rs.7, 500$

 Let the monthly salary is $Rs.x$ Then pocket expenses is $\frac{1}{5}\text{x}=\frac{\text{x}}{5}$ And other expenses is $\frac{4}{5}$ of reminder $\frac{4\text{x}}{5}=\frac{16}{25}$ Then total expenses $=\frac{\text{x}}{5}+\frac{16\text{x}}{25}=\frac{21\text{x}}{25}$
Then savings $=\text{x} +\frac{21\text{x}}{25}=\frac{4\text{x}}{25}$ But saving given $\text{Rs }1200 \frac{ 4\text{x}}{25}=1200 \Rightarrow\text{x}=7500\text{ Rs}$
Then monthly salary $Rs.7500.$

Mark against the correct answer in the following:
If $(2n + 5) = 3(3n - 10),$ then $n =?$
  • $5$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $\frac{2}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$5$

$ 2n + 5 = 3(3n - 10)$
$⇒ 2n + 5 = 9n - 30$
$⇒ 9n - 2n = 5 + 30$
$⇒ 7n = 35$
$⇒ n = 5$

If seven times a number is $15$ less than twelve times the same number, then the number is:
  • A
    $2$
  • $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $5$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3$
 Let the number is $x$
Given, seven times a number is $15$ less than twelve times the same number
$\Rightarrow 7x = 12x - 15$
$\Rightarrow 12x - 15 - 7x = 0$
$\Rightarrow 5x - 15 = 0$
$\Rightarrow 5x = 15$
$\Rightarrow\text{x} = \frac{15}{3}$
$\Rightarrow x = 3$
So, the number is $3$

If we divide both sides of the equation by the same number, the balance is:
  • Undisturbed
  • B
    equal
  • C
    None of these
  • D
    Disturbed
Answer
Correct option: A.
Undisturbed
If we divide both sides of the equation by the same number, the balance is undistributed.
This is because, it will not make any effect on that equation.
Example: let equation is
$x = 5$
Now divide both sides by $4,$ we get
$\frac{\text{x}}{4} = \frac{5}{4}$
Now apply cross-multiplication, we get
$x \times 4 = 5 \times 4$
$\Rightarrow 4x = 20$
$⇒ x = \frac{20}{4}$
$⇒ x = 5$
So we get the same equation again.

If $43m = 0.086,$ then the value of $m$ is:
  • $0.002$
  • B
    $0.02$
  • C
    $0.2$
  • D
    $2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0.002$

Given equation is $43m = 0.086$
On dividing the given equation by $43,$ we get
$\text{m}=\frac{0.086}{43}$
If we remove the decimal, we get $1000$ in denominator
$\text{m}=\frac{86}{43}\times\frac{1}{1000}=\frac{1}{1000}=0.002$

Maya, Madhura and Mohsina are friends studying in the same class. In a class test in geography, Maya got $16$ out of $25.$ Madhura got $20.$ Their average score was $19.$ How much did Mohsina score$?$
  • A
    $20$
  • $21$
  • C
    $25$
  • D
    $27$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$21$

 Average score of Maya, Madhura and Mohsina $= 19$
So $($Score of Maya $+$ Score of Madhura $+$ Score of Mohsina$) 3 = 19$
$\Rightarrow $ Score of Maya $+$ Score of Madhura $+$ Score of Mohsina $= 19 \times 3$
$\Rightarrow $ Score of Maya $+$ Score of Madhura $+$ Score of Mohsina $= 57$
$\Rightarrow 16 + 20 +$ Score of Madhura $= 57$
$\Rightarrow 36 +$ Score of Madhura $= 57$
$\Rightarrow $ Score of Madhura $= 57 - 36$
$\Rightarrow $ Score of Madhura $= 21$

Two-third of a number is greater than one-third of the number by $5.$ The number is:
  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $5$
  • $15$
  • D
    $12$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$15$

Let the number be $x.$
As, two-third of a number is greater than one-third of the number by $5.$

$\Rightarrow\frac{2\text{x}-\text{x}}{3}=5$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{3}=5$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=5\times3$
$\therefore\text{x}=15$
So, the number is $15.$

The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is $36.$ The larger number is:
  • A
    $17$
  • B
    $15$
  • $19$
  • D
    $21$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$19$

 Let the two consecutive odd numbers be $x$ and $x + 2.$
As, the sum of the two consecutive odd numbers is $36.$
$\Rightarrow x + (x + 2) = 36$
$\Rightarrow 2x + 2 = 36$
$\Rightarrow 2x = 36 - 2$
$\Rightarrow 2x = 34$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{34}2$
$\Rightarrow x = 17$
$\therefore x + 2 = 17 + 2 = 19$
So, the larger number is $19.$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(c).$

Answer
Correct option: B.
$27$
Let the three consecutive odd numbers be $x, x + 2$ and $x + 4.$
As, the sum of the three consecutive numbers is $81.$
$⇒ x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 81$
$⇒ 3x + 6 = 81$
$⇒ 3x = 81 - 6 ($By transposing $6$ to $R.H.S.)$

Answer
Correct option: C.
$3z + 8 = 3 + z$
 
 Let us solve the equation:
$a.$ Given equation is $5y - 3 = -18$
$\Rightarrow5\text{y}=-18+3[ $transposing $3$ to $\text{RHS}]$
$\Rightarrow5\text{y}=-15$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}=-3 ($integer$) [$dividing both sides by $5]$
$b.$ Given equation is $3z - 9 = 0$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}=9 [$transposing $9$ to $\text{RHS}]$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=3( $integer$) [$dividing both sides by $3]$​​​​​​​
$c.$ Given equation is $3z + 8 = 3 + z$
On transposing $z$ and $8$ to $\text{LHS}$ and $\text{RHS}$ respectively, we get
$\Rightarrow3\text{z}-\text{z}=3-8$
$\Rightarrow2\text{z}=-5$
$\Rightarrow\text{z}=-\frac{5}{2}[$dividing both sides by $2]$
Which is neither a positive fraction nor an integer.
$d.$ Given equation is $9y + 8 = 4y - 7$
On transposing $4y$ and $8$ to $\text{LHS}$ and $\text{RHS}$ respectively, we get
$\Rightarrow9\text{y}-4\text{y}=-7-8$
$5\text{y}=-15$

If the sum of a number and its two-fifth is $70.$ The number is:
  • A
    $70$
  • $50$
  • C
    $60$
  • D
    $90$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$50$

Let the number be $x.$
As, the sum of a number and its two-fifth is $70.$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+\frac25\text{x}=70$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}1+\frac{\text{2x}}5=70$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{5x}}{5}+\frac{\text{2x}}{5}=70$
$\Rightarrow\frac{5\text{x}+2\text{x}}{5}=70$
$\Rightarrow\frac{7\text{x}}{5}=70$
$\Rightarrow7\text{x}=70\times5 ($By transposing $5$ to $R.H.S.)$
$\Rightarrow7\text{x}=350$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{350}{7} ($By transposing $7$ to $R.H.S.)$
$\therefore\text{x}=50$
So, the number is $50.$

  • $30$
  • B
    $36$
  • C
    $45$
  • D
    $60$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$30$

$\therefore\frac{2}{3}\text{x}=\text{x}-10$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}-\frac{2}{3}\text{x}=10$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{3}\text{x}=10$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=30$

Which of the following equations can be formed starting with $x = 0?$
  • A
    $2x + 1 = -1$
  • B
    $\frac{\text{x}}{2}+5=7$
  • $3x - 1 = -1$
  • D
    $3x - 1 = 1$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$3x - 1 = -1$

We have, $x = 0$
On multiplying both the sides by $3,$ we get
$3 \times x = 3 \times 0$
$\Rightarrow 3x = 0$
On adding $(-1)$ both the sides, we get
$3x + (-1) = 0 + (-1)$
$\Rightarrow 3x - 1 = -1$

Write the equation for The sum of two times $y$ and $10$ is $42:$
  • $2y + 10 = 42$
  • B
    $y + 11 = 3$
  • C
    $2y = 42$
  • D
    $y + 10 = 42$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$2y + 10 = 42$

two times $y = 2y$
Now the sum of two times $y$ and $10$ is $42$ is written as $2y + 10 = 42$

Mark against the correct answer in the following:
If $2\text{z}+\frac{8}{3}=\frac{1}{4}\text{z}+5$ then $z =?$
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • $\frac{4}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{4}{3}$

$2\text{z}+\frac{8}{3}=\frac{1}{4}\text{z}+5$
$\Rightarrow2\text{z}-\frac{1}{4}\text{z}=5-\frac{8}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{8\text{z}-\text{z}}{4}=\frac{15-8}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{7}{4}\text{z}=\frac{7}{3}$
$\Rightarrow\text{z}=\frac{7}{3}\times\frac{4}{7}$
$=\frac{4}{3}$

The zero of $3x + 2$ is:
  • A
    $\frac23$
  • B
    $\frac32$
  • $-\frac23$
  • D
    $\frac{-3}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$-\frac23$
If $3x + 2 = 0,$ then
$3x = -2 ($Transposing $+2$ to $R.H.S.)$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}-\frac{2}{3}$
So, the zero of $3x + 2$ is $-\frac23.$
Note: A zero is that number, when put in place of the variable, makes the expression equal to zero.
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(c).$

If $\frac{\text{x}}{3} = 4,$ then the value of $2x + 5$ is:
  • A
    $9$
  • B
    $17$
  • C
    $25$
  • $29$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$29$

Given, $\frac{\text{x}}{3} = 4,$ then the value of $2x + 5$ is
$\Rightarrow x = 4 \times 3$
$\Rightarrow x = 12$
Now, $2x + 5 = 2 \times 12 + 5 = 24 + 5 = 29$

Mark against the correct answer in the following:
Two complementary angles differ by $10^\circ .$ The larger angle is:
  • $60^\circ $
  • B
    $50^\circ$
  • C
    $64^\circ $
  • D
    $54^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$60^\circ $

Let first angle $= x$
Then second $= 90^\circ - x$
$x - (90^\circ - x) = 10$
$\Rightarrow x - 90^\circ + x = 10^\circ $
$\Rightarrow 2x = 10^\circ + 90^\circ = 100^\circ $
$x = 50^\circ $
Second angle $= 90^\circ - 50^\circ = 40^\circ $
Larger angle $= 50^\circ $
