MCQ 11 Mark
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

Mark the correct alternative in the following:
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 $(x, y)$ $\Big( \frac{\text{mx}_2 + \text{nx}_{ 1 } }{ \text{m + n}} ,\frac { \text{my}_{ 2 } + \text{ny}_1 }{ \text{m + n}}\Big)$

$\frac{\text{g}}{4}$
$\therefore \frac{4}{3}\pi\text{r}^3\times8=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}^3$
$\Rightarrow\text{R}=2\text{r}$
$\text{g}=\frac{\text{GM}}{\text{r}^2},\text{g}'=\frac{\text{GM}}{\text{R}^2}$
$\Rightarrow\Big(\frac{\text{g}'}{\text{g}}\Big)=\frac{\text{r}^2}{\text{R}^2}$
$\therefore\text{g}'=\frac{\text{g}}{4}.$

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

$12$ men can finish a piece of work in $25$ days. The number of days in which the same piece of work can be done by $20$ men, is:
  • A
    $10$ days.
  • B
    $12$ days.
  • $15$ days.
  • D
    $14$ days.
Answer
Correct option: C.
$15$ days.
It is given that $12$ men can finish a piece of work in $25$ days.
Let the number of days required to do the same piece of work by $20$ men be $x$ days.
We get,
$20 : 12 = 25 : x$
$=\frac{12\times25}{20}$
$= 15$ Days.

A train travelling at a speed of $75\ mph$ enters a tunnel $3\frac{1}{2}$ miles long. The train is $\frac{1}{4}$ mile long. How long does it take for the train to pass through the tunnel from the moment the front enters to the moment the rear emerges?
  • A
    $2.5$ min
  • $3$ min
  • C
    $3.2$ min
  • D
    $3.5$ min
Answer
Correct option: B.
$3$ min
Total distance covered $=\Big(\frac{7}{2}+\frac{1}{4}\Big)\text{miles}$
$=\frac{15}{4}\text{miles}$
$\therefore$ Time taken $=\Big(\frac{15}{4\times75}\Big)\text{hrs}$
$=\frac{15}{4}\text{hrs}$
$=\Big(\frac{15}{20}\times60\Big)\text{min}$
$=3\text{ min}$

$Rs. 1250$
The ratio between the number of passengers travelling byIstandIIndclass between the tworailwaystations is $1 : 50$
Where as the ratio ofIstandIIndclass fares between the same stations is $3 : 1$
Then ratio of the amount collected from the $1^{st}$ class and $2^{nd}$ class passengers $3 : 50$
$\therefore$ amount collated from the $2^{nd}$ class passengers $=\frac{50}{53}\times1325=1250\text{ Rs.}$

If $\frac{\text{x}}{2\text{y}+\text{z}-\text{x}}=\frac{\text{y}}{2\text{z}+\text{x}-\text{y}}=\frac{\text{y}}{2\text{z}+\text{y}-\text{z}}$ and $\text{x}+\text{y}+\text{z}\neq0$ then what is each ratio equal to.
  • $\frac{1}{2}$
  • 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 $\frac{1}{2}$

If the cost of $30$ packets of $8$ pencils each is $Rs. 600$, what is the cost of $25$ packets of $12$ pencils each?
  • A
    $Rs. 725$
  • $Rs. 750$
  • C
    $Rs. 480$
  • D
    $Rs. 720$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$Rs. 750$
Total pencils in $30$ packets of $8$ pencils
$= 30 \times 8 = 240$
And total pencils of $25$ packets of $12$
Pencils $= 25 \times 12 = 300$
Now cost of $240$ pencils $= Rs. 600$
Then cost of $1$ percent $=\text{Rs. }\frac{600}{24}$
And cost of $300$ pencils $=\text{Rs. }\frac{600\times300}{240}$
$=\text{Rs. }750$
