  • Question 1/10
    2 / -0.5

    Three years ago, Rahul borrowed a sum of money at compound interest rate of 10% per annum compounding annually. If the present value of that borrowed money is Rs. 11,979, how much money was borrowed by Rahul?

    Solutions

    Given:

    Present Value = Rs. 11,979

    Interest rate = 10% per annum

    Time = 3 years

    Concept:

    Compound Interest formula, 

    Amount. =  P(1 + r/100)n 

    Solution:

    Let the borrowed money (Principal) be P.

    We have the formula for compound interest, P(1 + r/100)n = Amount.

    Here, P(1 + 10/100)3 = 11,979

    Solving for P, we get P = 11,979/(1.1)3 = Rs. 9,000.

    Hence, Rahul borrowed Rs. 9,000.

  • Question 2/10
    2 / -0.5

    10 women can do a work in 6 days and 6 men can do the same work in 5 days. If all these men and women work together, then how many days will they take to finish this work?

    Solutions

    Given: 

    10 women can do a work in 6 days.

    6 men can do the same work in 5 days.

    Formula Used:

    Work Done = time × efficiency

    Calculation:

    ⇒ 10W × 6 = 6M × 5

    ⇒ 60W = 30M

    ⇒ W/M = 1/2

    Total Work = 60

    Time = 60/(10 × 1 + 6 × 2)

    ⇒ 60/22 = 30/11

  • Question 3/10
    2 / -0.5

    In ΔABC, D is a point on side AB such that BD = 3 cm and DA = 4 cm. E is a point on BC such that DE || AC. Then Area of ΔBDE : Area of trapezium ACED 

    Solutions

    Given:

    BD = 3 cm

    DA = 4 cm

    Concept used:

    Concept of similarity

    Calculation:

    Here ΔABC ∼ ΔBDE [∵ DE || AC and ∠B is common for two triangles]

    So,

    ΔABC/ΔBDE = 72/32

    ⇒ ΔABC/ΔBDE = 49/9

    ACED = ΔABC - ΔBDE

    ⇒ 49 - 9 = 40

    ∴ Ratio is 9 : 40

    ∴ Then Area of ΔBDE : Area of trapezium ACED is 9 : 40

  • Question 4/10

    Calculation:

  • Question 5/10
    2 / -0.5

    The remainder when 1919 + 20 is divided by 18, is:

    Solutions

    Given:

    1919 + 20

    Concept used:

    A ≡ B (Mod C) means A leaves a remainder of B when divided by C.

    Calculation:

    We know,

    19 ≡ 1 (Mod 18)

    ⇒ 1919 ≡ 119 (Mod 18)

    ⇒ 1919 ≡ 1 (Mod 18)

    When 20 is divided by 18, the remainder = 2

    (1919 + 20) ≡ (1 + 2) (Mod 18)

    ⇒ (1919 + 20) ≡ 3 (Mod 18)

    ∴ The remainder when 1919 + 20 is divided by 18, is 3.

  • Question 6/10
    2 / -0.5

    Solutions

  • Question 7/10
    2 / -0.5

    In ΔABC, AC = BC and ∠ABC = 50°, the side BC is produced to D so that BC = CD then the value of ∠BAD is:

    Solutions

    ∠ABC = ∠BAC = 50° [AC = BC]

    In ΔABC

    ∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = 180°

    ⇒ 50° + 50° + ∠ACB = 180°

    ⇒ ∠ACB = 180° - 100°

    ⇒ ∠ACB = 80°

    Now, ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180°

    ⇒ ∠ACD = 180° - 80° = 100°

    Now, ∠CAD = ∠CDA [AC = BC = CD]

    In ΔACD

    ∠CAD + ∠CDA + ∠ACD = 180°

    ⇒ 2∠CAD + 100° = 180°

    ⇒ 2∠CAD = 180 - 100 = 80

    ⇒ ∠CAD = 80°/2 = 40°

    Now, ∠BAD = ∠BAC + ∠CAD

    ∴ ∠BAD = 50° + 40° = 90°

  • Question 8/10
    2 / -0.5

    Pipes A and B can fill a tank in 36 minutes and 45 minutes, respectively. Both these pipes were opened simultaneously. After 20 minutes, a leak at the bottom of the tank was spotted which was immediately sealed. The tank was full in another 15 minutes. The leak alone can empty the full tank in:

    Solutions

    Given:

    Pipes A and B can fill a tank in 36 minutes and 45 minutes

    Concept used:

    Total work = Time taken by the pipes × efficiency of the pipes

    Calculation:

    Let the efficiency of the leakage be (- x) units/minute

    LCM of 36 and 45 = 180

    So, Let the total work be 180 units

    Now, efficiency of pipe A = 180/36 = 5 units/minute

    And, efficiency of pipe B = 180/45 = 4 units/minute

    According to the question,

    All three pipes were opened for the first 20 minutes, and then the leakage pipe was sealed and the tank was full in 15 minutes.

    i.e., (9 - x) × 20 + 15 × 9 = 180

    ⇒ 180 - 20x + 135 = 180

    ⇒ - 20x = - 135

    ⇒ x = 135/20 or 27/4

    Now, time taken by the leakage pipe to empty the tank = Total work\Efficiency

    ⇒ 180/(27/4) ⇒ 180 × (4/27)

    ⇒ 80/3

    ∴ The leak alone can empty the full tank in

    Directions For Questions

    Study the given histogram and answer the question that follows.

    The histogram represents the percentage of marks obtained by a number of a students of a school in the class X Board Examination in 2018. The total number of students = 250.

    ...view full instructions


    The number of students who have obtained less than 50% marks is approximately what percentage less than the number of students who have obtained 90% marks and above?

    Solutions

    Calculation:

    Students who obtained less than 50% marks approximately = 10

    Students who obtained more than 90% marks and above = 25

    Difference = 25 - 10 = 15

  • Question 10/10
    2 / -0.5

    In the given figure, PQRS is a trapezium in which PM || SN, NR = 9 cm, PS = 12 cm, QM = NR and NR = SN. What is the area (in cm2) of trapezium?

    Solutions

    Given:

    PS = 12 cm

    NR = 9 cm

    QM = NR and NR = SN

    Formula Used:

    Area of Trapezium = (1/2) × (Sum of Parallel Sides) × Height

    Calculation:

    According to the question,

    QM = NR and NR = SN

    ⇒ QM = NR = SN = 9 cm

    Again according to the question,

    PM || SN

    ⇒ PS = MN = 12 cm

    In trapezium PQRS,

    QR = QM + MN + NR

    ⇒ QR = 9 + 12 + 9 = 30 cm

    Height = SN = 9 cm

    Area of Trapezium = (1/2) × (PS + QR) × SN

    ⇒ Area of Trapezium = (1/2) × (12 + 30) × 9

    ⇒ Area of Trapezium = (1/2) × (12 + 30) × 9

    ⇒ Area of Trapezium = 189 cm2
