- 1
He sells 920 grams of rice and gains 80 grams
Gain % = 80/920 * 100 = 8.69%
- 2
Let the number of days he was absent be x days.
180 (40 – x) – 20 x = 5200
7200 – 180x – 20x = 5200
7200 – 200x = 5200
x = 2000/20 = 10 days
- 2
Required number = LCM of (25, 30, 35, 40) – 7
= 4200 – 7 = 4193
- 3
Time stopage rest per hour
Difference of speed/ Speed without stoppage = 60 minute
Now, 54-36/36 * 60 = 30 min per hour
- 5
Let Manorama son’s age be x years
Manorama’s age = 6x
(6x + 7)/(x + 7) = 11/3
18x + 21 = 11x + 77
7x = 56
x = 8
Manorama’s present age = 6x = 48 years
- 4;
Amount of salt in 40 kg of solution = 4/100 * 40 = 1.6 kg
Let x kg of pure salt be added.
Then, (1.6 + x)/ (40 + x) = 12/100
160 + 100x = 480 + 12x
88x = 320
x = 3.64 kg
- 3
(80x + 94y)/(x + y) = 86
80x + 94y = 86x + 86y
8y = 6x
x/y = 8/6 = 4/3 = 4 : 3
- 1;
Radius of formed cone = 4 cm
Slant height = 5 cm
Surface area of formed cone = πrl = 22/7 * 4 * 5 = 62.8 cm^2
- 1
N2 – 35% of N1 = 4/5 N2
N2 – 4/5N2 = 35/100N1
N2/5 = 35/100N1
N1/N2 = 1/5 * 100/35 = 4 : 7
- 2
Let the age of Anshu be x years
Bharti’s age = 3x
Charita’s age = x + 12
x + 3x + x + 12 = 57
or, 5x + 12 = 57
x = 9
Anshu, Bharti and Charita’s age are 9, 27, 21 years
