10^2, 10^2 + 11^2, 11^2 + 12^2, 12^2 + 13^2,…. - The perimeter of a rectangle is half the circumference of circle whose area is 3850 cm2. If the breadth of rectangle is 30 cm, find its area.
A) 685 cm2
B) 710 cm2
C) 732 cm2
D) 750 cm2
E) None of theseD) 750 cm2
Explanation:
Shortcut-
ᴨr2 = 3850, so r = 35
now perimeter of rect. = (1/2)*2ᴨr = 110
so 2(l+30) = 110, so l = 25
area = 25*30 - There are 2 mixtures of milk and water such that mixture P contains 30% water and mixture Q contains 20% water. Equal quantities of both mixtures are taken and put in a bottle. What is the ratio of milk to water in the bottle?
A) 3 : 5
B) 3 : 1
C) 5 : 2
D) 2 : 7
E) 9 : 2B) 3 : 1
Explanation:
Let x litres taken from both, so milk : water in bottle
70% of x + 80% of x : 30% of x + 20% of x - The person has expenditure of Rs 6,000 in a month with his salary being Rs 10,000. The next month his salary increases by 10% and expenditure by 20%. What is the % change in the his savings?
A) 6.2% increase
B) 5.26% decrease
C) 5.02% increase
D) 5% decrease
E) None of theseD) 5% decrease
Explanation:
Savings = 10,000 – 6000 = 4000
Income becomes = (110/100)*10,000 = 11,000
Exp. becomes = (120/100)*6,000 = 7,200
So savings now = 11000 – 7200 = 3800
So % decrease in savings = (4000-3800)/4000 * 100 = 5% - After getting two successive discounts, an article which was marked at Rs 750 was bought for Rs 540. The first discount was 20%. What is the second discount being given?
A) 30%
B) 17%
C) 25%
D) 10%
E) None of theseD) 10%
Explanation:
750*80/100*x/100 = 540
x = 540*100*100/80*750
x = 90 then % = 100-90 = 10% - 30 men who can complete a work in 16 days started the work and after working for 6 days, 10 more men joined. In how many days the remaining work will be completed?
A) 6
B) 10 2/3
C) 8
D) 7 1/3
E) 7 1/2E) 7 1/2
Explanation:
30 m in 16 days, so (30+10)=40 men in (30*16)/40 = 12 days
So
(1/16)*6 + (1/12)*x = 1
Solve, x = 7.5 days
