- (c); Let the speed of a boat & stream be x & y kmph.
According to question
25/(x-y)+39/(x+y)=8 …………(i)
&
35/(x-y)+52/(x+y)=11………..(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
x=9, y=4
Hence speed of stream, y=4
- (d); Let the number of green marble=x
So, xC1/24C1=2/3
x=16
So, No. of blue marble=24-16=8
- (b); Total number of cases=10C4
Favourable number of cases=(4C2X6C2)/10C4=9/21
4(c); Probability of selecting black ball from 1st boy.=(1/2)X(6C1/14C1)=3/4
Probability of selecting black ball from 2nd boy=(1/2)X(7C1/11C1)=7/22
Required Probability=(3/14)+(7/22)=41/77
- (b); Let diagonals of rhombus be x & y.
Given x+y=10
½ x.y=9
xy=18
x^2+y^2=(x+y)^2-2xy
=(10)^2-2.18
=(10)^2-2.18
=64
- (a); Side of square=(784)^(1/2)=28
2pi R=(11/4)X4X28
R=28
Diameter of another circle B=1/2 R=(1/2)X28=14
r=14/2=7
Area of circle=B=pi*7^2=154 cm^2
- (c); Number of tiles needed=(Area of square room)/(Area of tile)
=(10X100X10X100)/(50X50)
=400
- (d); Ratio of the amount collected from 1st& 2nd class fairs=(3X1): (1X50)= 3 : 50
Required Amount=2650X(50/53)=2500
- (a); 80% of total marks=80% of 105X5=420
So, obtained marks in Science=420-(89+92+98+81)=60
- (e); Let the rate of Interest allowed by bank be r%
(12000X5X10)/100)-((12000X3Xr)/100)=3320
r=7(4/9)%
- (a); Required Average=(5000+10000+15000+30000+40000+50000)X1/6
=25000
- (c); Required Percentage=(40000/250000)X100=160%
- (a); Required Number=90000X(70/100)=63000
14 (a); Required Ratio=10000 : 75000= 2 : 15
15 (e); Required Percentage=(45000-30000)X100)/45000
=33% Approx
