ABCD is a rectangle with AB = 14 cm and BC = 7 cm. Taking DC, BC and AD as diameters, three semi-circles are drawn as shown in the figure. Find the area of the shaded region.

Answer»

Given,

ABCD is a rectangle with AB = 14 cm and BC = 7 cm

It’s seen that,

The area of shaded region = Area of rectangle ABCD + 2 x area of semi-circle with AD and BC as diameters – area of the semi-circle with DC as diameter

= 14 x 7 + 2 x 1/2 π(7/2)– 1/2 π(7)2

= 98 + 22/7 x (7/2)– 1/2 (22/7)(7)2

= 98 + 77/2 – 77

= 59.5 cm2

The sum of two numbers is 4000. 10% of one number is 6\(\frac{2}{3}\)% of the other. The difference of the number is (a) 600 (b) 800 (c) 1025 (d) 1175

Answer»

(b) 800

Let one number = x 

Then, the other number = 4000 – x

Given, 10% of x = 6\(\frac{2}{3}\)% of (4000-x)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{10}{100}\) x x = \(\frac{20}{3}\) x \(\frac{1}{100}\) x (4000-x)

\(\Rightarrow\) 10x = \(\frac{20}{3}\) x 4000 - \(\frac{20X}{3}\)

\(\Rightarrow\) 10x + \(\frac{20X}{3}\) = \(\frac{20}{3}\) x 4000

\(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{50X}{3}\) = \(\frac{20}{3}\) x 4000

\(\Rightarrow\) x = \(\frac{20\times4000}{50}\) = 1600

The two numbers are 1600 and 2400.

\(\therefore\) Their difference = 2400 – 1600 = 800.

27.

What is the ratio in which two sugar solutions of concentrations 15% and 40% are to be mixed to get a solution of concentration 30% ?

Answer»

Let the required ratio be x : y. Then, \(\frac{15X}{100}\) + \(\frac{40y}{100}\) = \(\frac{30(X+y)}{100}\)

\(\therefore\) 15x + 40y = 30x + 30y

\(\Rightarrow\) 10y = 15x  \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{X}{y}\)\(\frac{10}{15}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\) \(\Rightarrow\) x : y = 2 : 3.

28.

The difference of the squares is of two numbers is 80% of the sum of their squares. The ratio of the larger number to the smaller number is (a) 5 : 2 (b) 2 : 5 (c) 3 : 1 (d) 1 : 3

Answer»

(c) 3 : 1

Let the two numbers be x and y.

Then, x2  - y2 = 80% of (x2 + y2)

\(\Rightarrow\) x2 - y2\(\frac{4}{5}\)(x2 + y2\(\Rightarrow\) x2\(\frac{4}{5}\)x2\(\frac{4}{5}\) y2 + y2

\(\Rightarrow\)\(\frac{1}{5}\)x2\(\frac{9}{5}\)y2  \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{X^2}{y^2}\) = \(\frac{9}{1}\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(\frac{X}{y}\)\(\frac{3}{1}\) \(\Rightarrow\) x:y = 3:1

Since the series of data given is of inclusive type, first we shall convert the class intervals into exclusive type using a correction factor.

C.F – LL of a CI – UL of the previous CI

\(\frac{15 - 14}{2}\) = 0.5

Where LL = Lower Limit

UL = Upper Limit

CI = Class Interval

CF = Cumulative frequency

(X)C-IFCumulative Frequency(C.F)

Median class = Size of \([\frac{N}{2}]\) th item

= \([\frac{65}{2}]\)th item = 32.5 th item so, it lies between 24.5 = 29.5

Medain = L + \([\frac{\frac{N}{2}-Cf}{f}]\times i\) Where L – Lower limit

C.f = Cumulative frequency of class preceding the median class

L – Length of the median class

N = Total of frequency

f = frequency of the median class

Median class = 24.5 – 29.5

I = 24.5; i = 5; c.f = 30; N = 65; f = 20

Medain = 24.5 +\([\frac{\frac{65}{2}-30}{20}]\times 5\)

Medain = Rs. 25.125

Highest income of lowest 50% of workers

Which of the following numbers is not a perfect square?A. 7056 B. 3969 C. 5478 D. 4624

Answer»

We know that, 

As per the properties of square, 

All the numbers that end with digits 2, 3, 7 or 8 are not a perfect square 

Hence, 

Considering the property, we get 

The number 5478 is not a perfect square 

As the last digit of the number is 8. 

Therefore, 

Option (C) is the correct option

31.

The length, breadth and height of a room are 825 cm, 675 cm and 450 cm respectively. Find the longest tape which can measure the three dimensions of the room exactly.

Answer»

Length = 825 cm = 3 × 5 × 5 × 11

Breadth = 675 cm = 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5

Height = 450 cm = 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5

Longest tape = HCF of 825, 675, and 450 = 3 × 5 × 5 = 75 cm

Therefore, the longest tape is 75 cm.

If 6 articles are sold for Re 1 then there is a loss of 20%. In order to gain 20%, what must be the number of articles sold for Re 1 ?

Answer»

S.P. of 6 articles = Re 1, Loss = 20 %

\(\therefore\) C.P. of 6 articles = \(\frac{1\times100}{(100-20)}\)\(\frac{100}{80}\) = \(\frac{5}{4}\) = 1.25

If the gain is 20%, then S.P. of 6 articles = \(\frac{1.25\times120}{100}\) = Rs 1.50

\(\therefore\) For Re 1, 4 articles are sold.

A General arranges his soldiers in rows to form a perfect square. He finds that in doing so,60 soldiers are left out .If the total number of soldiers be 8160, find the number of soldiers in each row.

Answer»

Total number of soldiers = 8160 

Number of soldiers left out = 60 

Number of soldiers arranged in rows to form a perfect square = 8160 – 60 

= 8100 

Hence, number of soldiers in each row = \(\sqrt{8100}\)

\(\sqrt{9\times9\times10\times10}\)

= 90

45.

A General arranges his soldiers in rows to form a perfect square. He finds that in doing so, 60 soldiers are left out. If the total number of soldiers be 8160, find the number of soldiers in each row

Answer»

 The total number of soldiers = 8160

Number of soldiers left out = 60

Number of soldiers arranged in rows to form a perfect square 

= 8160 – 60 

= 8100

Hence ,number of soldiers in each row 

= √8100

= √(9×9×10×10)

= 9×10

= 90

किसी चतुर्भुज के तीन कोण क्रमशः 75°,95° और 110° हैं। चौथे कोण का मान ज्ञात कीजिए।

Answer»

चतुर्भुज के चारों अंतः कोणों का योग 360° होता है । 

माना चौथा कोण x

⇒ 75° + 95° + 110° + x = 360°

⇒ 280° + x = 360°

⇒ x = 360° – 280° = 80°
