    2 / -0.5

    The downstream speed of a boat is 17 km/hr and the speed of current is 2 km/hr. What is the total time (in hours) taken by the boat to cover 65 km upstream and 170 km downstream?

    Solutions

    Let the speed of boat in still water be u km/hr.

    The speed of current = v = 2 km/hr

    ⇒ The downstream of boat = u + v = 17 km/hr

    ⇒ The speed of boat in still water = u = 17 - 2 = 15 km/hr

    ⇒ The upstream of boat = u - v = 15 - 2 = 13 km/hr

    We know that,

    Time = Distance/Speed

  • Question 2/10
    2 / -0.5

    If m ∶ n = 2 ∶ 3 and x ∶ y = 4 ∶ 5, then the value of 10mx + 4ny ∶ 5mx + 3ny is __________.

    Solutions

    Given:

    m ∶ n = 2 ∶ 3

    x ∶ y = 4 ∶ 5

    Solution:

    Let m = 2a and n = 3a 

    x = 4b and y = 5b

    Putting the above value in the given expression, we will get:

    ⇒ 10mx + 4ny ∶ 5mx + 3ny 

    ⇒ (10 × 2a × 4b) + (4 × 3a × 5b) ∶ (5 × 2a × 4b)  +  (3 × 3a × 5b)

    ⇒ (80ab) + (60ab) : (40ab) + (45ab)

    ⇒ 140ab : 85ab = 28 : 17

  • Question 3/10
    2 / -0.5

    In the following figure, if PT = 12 cm and PB = 24 cm, then find AB.

    Solutions

    Given:

    Formula Used:

    From the tangent theorem,

    PT2 = PA x PB

    Calculations:

    ⇒ Here, PT = 12 cm

    ⇒ PB = 24 cm

    Now put the value of PT and PB 

    ⇒ PT2 = PA x PB

    ⇒ 122 = PA x 24

    ⇒ PA = 144 / 24 = 6 cm

    As we know,

    ⇒ PB = PA + AB

    ⇒ AB = PB - PA = 24 - 6 = 18 cm

    ⇒ Hence, The value of AB is 18 cm.

  • Question 5/10
    2 / -0.5

    A seller offers a 17% discount on a TV set with a marked price of Rs. 5600. If he still earns a profit of Rs. 500, then what is the cost price of the TV set?

    Solutions

    Short trick:

    Cost price = 5600 × 83/100 - 500 = Rs. 4148

    Detailed solution:

    Marked price of TV set = Rs. 5600

    Discount = 17%

    Selling Price of TV set after discount,

    = 5600 - 5600 × (17/100)

    = 5600 - 56 × 17

    = 5600 - 952

    = 4648

    Selling price of TV set = Rs. 4648

    Profit earned (given) = Rs. 500

    Profit = S.P - C.P

    ⇒ 500 = 4648 - C.P

    ⇒ C.P = 4148

    ∴ Cost price of TV set is Rs. 4148.

    Thus, the correct answer is option 2.

  • Question 6/10
    2 / -0.5

    The surface area of a cuboid having length 6 cm, breadth 7 cm and height 8 cm is:

    Solutions

    Given:

    A cuboid having length 6 cm, breadth 7 cm and height 8 cm

    Concept used: 

    Surface area = 2(LB + BH + HL)

    Calculation:

    ⇒ Surface area = 2[(6 x 7) + (7 x 8) + (8 x 6)]

    ⇒ 2(42 + 56 + 48)

    ⇒ 2 x 146

    ⇒ 292 cm2

    ∴ The surface area of a cuboid having length 6 cm, breadth 7 cm and height 8 cm is 292 cm2

  • Question 7/10
    2 / -0.5

    Jay takes a loan of Rs 10,000 from Amit at 5% simple interest for 2 years. He also takes the same amount at the same rate and the same time from Mukesh at compound interest. Find the difference in the interest paid by Jay shah.

    Solutions

    Given:

    Amount of money taken on Loan by Jay = Rs 10,000.

    Rate of interest = 5%

    Time = 2 years.

    Concept:

    Simple interest = ((P × R × T)/100)

    Equivalent Rate on Compound interest = ( X + Y + ((X × Y)/100) 

    Calculation:

    Equivalent Rate on Compound interest = ( 5 + 5 + ((5 × 5)/100) = 10.25%

    Total simple interest on Rs 10000 at 5% for 2 years = (10,000 × 10%) = Rs 1000

    Total Compound interest on Rs 10000 at 5% for 2 years = (10,000 × 10.25%) = Rs 1025

    Difference in the Interest paid = Rs 25

  • Question 8/10
    2 / -0.5

    Three people A, B, and C invested a total amount of Rs. 38000 in a startup business. Their investment time is in the ratio of 2 : 5 : 3. After 1 year they received a profit share of Rs. 24000, Rs. 35000 and Rs. 57000 respectively. What is the ratio of their amount of investment?

    Solutions

    GIVEN:

    A received Rs. 24000

    B received Rs. 35000

    C received Rs. 57000

    FORMULA:

    Profit Share ratio = Investment Amount × Investment Time

    CALCULATION:

    Let the ratio of money investment be x : y : z

    ⇒ Ratio of profit share = 2x : 5y : 3z

    According to the question

    2x : 5y : 3z = 24000 : 35000 : 57000 = 24 : 35 : 57

    ⇒ x : y : z = 12 : 7 : 19

  • Question 10/10
    2 / -0.5

    If the ratio of the radii of two circles is 2 : 3, then the ratio of their circumference is

    Solutions

    Given:

    The ratio of the radius of the two circles = 2 : 3

    Formula used:

    The circumference of the circle = 2 × π × r      (Where, r = The radius of the circle)

    Calculation:

    Let be assume the radius of the circles is 2p and 3p respectively

    ⇒ The circumference of the first circle = 2 × π × (2p)

    ⇒ The circumference of the second circle = 2 × π × (3p)

    ⇒ The required ratio of the circumferences = { 2 × π × (2p)}/{2 × π × (3p)} = 2 : 3

    ∴ The required result will be 2 : 3.
