A rectangular field has its length and breadth in the ratio $5 : 3$ Its area is $3.75$ hectares The cost of fending it at $Rs. 5$ per metre is.
  • A
    $Rs. 400$
  • $Rs. 4000$
  • C
    $Rs. 1000$
  • D
    $Rs. 500$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$Rs. 4000$
B.  $Rs. 4000$
Solution:
Let the length and breadth of rectangle field is $5x$ and $3x$ respt and area $= 3.75$ hectars
We know that $1$ hectare $= 10000$ sq metes
Then area 37500 sq m Then Area $5x × 3x = 37500$
$⇒ 15x^2 = 37500$
$⇒ x^2 = 2500$
$⇒ x = 50$ Then length $5 × 50 = 250m$ and breadth $= 3 × 50 = 150m$
Than perimeter of rectangle field $=2(L + B) = 2(250 + 150) = 800m$
Then cost of fending $800 × 5 = 4000 Rs$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$Rs. 600$
It is given that the cost of $25$ packets of $12$ pencils each is $Rs. 750$;
Therefore, we have:
Cost of $(25 \times 12)$ pencils $= 300$ pencils $= Rs. 750$
Let the cost of $(30 \times 8)$ or $240$ pencils be $Rs. x,$
$\because$ $750 : 300 : : x : 240$
$\therefore$ Cost of $(30 \times 8) = 240$ pencils

If $343$ is the third proportional of $a$ and $b$, where $a : b = 1 : 7$, then value of $a + b$ is:
  • A
    $14$
  • B
    $24$
  • $56$
  • D
    $63$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$56$
If is given that,
$\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{1}{7}\ ....(1)$
According to the question,
$a : b : : b : 343$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{\text{b}}{343}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{7}=\frac{\text{b}}{343}\ ....[\text{From (1)}]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1\times343}{7}=\frac{\text{b}\times343}{343}$
$\Rightarrow49=\text{b}$
Now,
$\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}=\frac{1}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}}{49}=\frac{1}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{a}\times49}{49}=\frac{1\times49}{7}$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=7$
Thus, $a + b = 7 + 49 = 56$
Hence, the correct option is $(c)$.

Using the section formula, if a point $(x, y)$ divides the line joining the
points $(x_1​, y_1​)$ and $(x_2​, y_2​)$ internally in the ratio $m : n,$ then $(x, y)$ $\Big( \frac{\text{mx}_2 + \text{nx}_{ 1 } }{ \text{m + n}} ,\frac { \text{my}_{ 2 } + \text{ny}_1 }{ \text{m + n}}\Big)$
Substituting $(x_1​, y_1​) = (1, 0)$ and $(x_2​, y_2​) = (0, 0)$ and $m = 1, n = 2$ in the section formula,
we get the point $\text{P}=\Big(\frac{1(10)+2(1)}{1+2},\frac{1(10)+2(1)}{1+2}\Big)=\Big(\frac{2}{3},0\Big)$

If $4 : 3 = x^2 : 12,$ then the value of $x (x > 0).$
  • A
    $16$
  • $4$
  • C
    $9$
  • D
    $3$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$4$
$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{\text{x}^2}{12}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{4\times4}{3\times4}=\frac{\text{x}^2}{12}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{16}{12}=\frac{\text{x}^2}{12}$
$\Rightarrow4^2=\text{x}^2\ (\because\text{x}>0)$
$\Rightarrow4=\text{x}$

  • $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{2}$

Suppose,$\frac{\text{x}}{2\text{y}+\text{z}-\text{x}}=\frac{\text{y}}{2\text{z}+\text{x}-\text{y}}=\frac{\text{y}}{2\text{z}+\text{y}-\text{z}}=\frac{1}{\text{k}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{2\text{y }+\text{ z}-\text{x}}=\frac{1}{\text{k}},\frac{\text{y}}{2\text{z }+\text{ x}-\text{y}}=\frac{1}{\text{k}},\text{and }\frac{\text{y}}{2\text{z }+\text{ y}-\text{z}}=\frac{1}{\text{k}}$
$⟹ xk = 2y + z - x...................(1) yk = 2z + x - y .............. (2)$ and
$zk = 2x + y - z .............. (3)$ Adding $(1), (2)$ and $(3)$ we get $xk + yk + zk = 2x + 2y + 2z$
$⟹ (x + y + z) k = (x + y + z)$
$\therefore$ $k = 2$ Hence, each ratio is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$

Let the larger number be $x$.
Then, the smaller number be $(96 - x)$.
According to the question,
$\frac{96-\text{x}}{\text{x}}=\frac{3}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{(96-\text{x})\times\text{x}\times5}{\text{x}}=\frac{3\times\text{x}\times5}{5}$
$\Rightarrow5(96-\text{x})=3\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow480-5\text{x}=3\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}+5\text{x}=480$
$\Rightarrow8\text{x}=480$
$\Rightarrow\frac{8\text{x}}{8}=\frac{480}{8}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=60$

The ratio of three numbers is $3 : 4 : 5$ and the sum of their squares is $1250.$ The sum of the three numbers is:
  • $60$
  • B
    $90$
  • C
    $30$
  • D
    $50$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$60$
Let the three numbers be $3x, 4x$ and $5x.$
Given $(3x)^2 + (4x)^2 + (5x)^2 = 1250$
$9x^2 + 16x^2 + 25x^2 = 1250$
$\Rightarrow 50x^2 = 1250$
$\Rightarrow x^2 = 25$
$\Rightarrow x = 5$
$\therefore$ The three numbers are $3 \times 5, 4 \times 5$ and $5 \times 5$
i.e., $15, 20$ and $25$
Required sum $= 15 + 20 + 25 = 60$

  • B
    $\sqrt{\pi}:\sqrt{6}$
  • C
    $2:1$
  • D

Answer
Correct option: A.
$\sqrt{6}:\sqrt{\pi}$
Surface area of cube $= 6a^2$
Surface area of sphere $=\pi\text{r}^2$ As per question both are same
$4\pi\text{r}^2=6\text{a}^2\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}^2}{\text{a}^2}=\frac{3}{2\pi}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}^2}{\text{a}^2}=\frac{3}{2\pi}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}}{\text{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2\pi}}$
Then ratio of Diameter of sphere and edge of the cube $=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2\pi}}=\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt\pi}$

  • A
    $10$ days.
  • $12$ days.
  • C
    $15$ days.
  • D

$12$ days.
Let the required number of days be $x$.
Number of days is inversaly proportional to the number of men.
According to the question,
$6 : 3 : : x : 6$
$\Rightarrow\frac{6}{3}=\frac{\text{x}}{6}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{6\times6}{3}=\frac{\text{x}\times6}{6}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{36}{3}=\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=12$
Thus, $3$ men can do same work in $12$ days.

Present ages of Sameer and Anand are in the ratio of $5 : 4$ respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become $11 : 9$ respectively. What is Anands present age in years?
  • $24$
  • B
    $27$
  • C
    $40$
  • D
    Cannot be determined
Answer
Correct option: A.
$24$
Let the present ages of Sameer and Anand be $5x$ years and $4x$ years respectively
Then, $\frac{5\text{x}+3}{4}=\frac{11}{9}$
$\Rightarrow 9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3)$
$\Rightarrow 45x + 27 = 44x + 33$
$\Rightarrow 45x - 44x = 33 - 27$
$\Rightarrow x = 6$
$\therefore$ Anands present age $= 4x = 24$ years.

  • $14L$
  • B
    $14.5L$
  • C
    $18L$
  • D
    $18.3L$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$14L$
Quantity of rose drink Nisha made $= 16.5L$
Quantity of rose drink Sakshi made $= (3.5 + 16.5)L = 20L$
Quantity of rose drink Sakshi sold
$\frac{3}{4}\times20=15\text{L}$
$\therefore$ Quantity of rose drink left with Sakshi
$= (20 - 15)L = 5L$
So, quantity of rose drink left with Nisha
$=\frac{5}{2}\text{L}=2.5\text{L}$
$\therefore$ Quantity of rose drink Nisha sold
$= (16.5 - 2.5)L = 14L.$

  • C
    $14$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$6$
$\frac{\text{a + b}}{\text{b + c}}=\frac{6}{7}=\frac{\text{b + c}}{\text{c + a}}=\frac{7}{8}$
$\Rightarrow 7a + 7b = 6b + 6c$
$\Rightarrow 8b + 8c = 7c + 7a$
$\Rightarrow 7a + b = 6c \rightarrow 1$
$\Rightarrow 8b + c = 7a \rightarrow 2$
Putting $2$ in $1$
$\Rightarrow 8b + c + b = 6c$
$\Rightarrow\frac{9\text{b}}{5}=\text{c}$
$\therefore\text{b}=\frac{5\text{c}}{9}$
$a + b + c = 14$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{8b}+\text{c}}{7}+\text{b + c}=14$
$\Rightarrow\frac{8\times\frac{5\text{c}}{9}+\text{c}}{7}+\frac{5\text{c}}{9}+\text{c}=14$
