The sum of the radii of two circles is 140 cm and the difference of their circumference is 88 cm. Find the diameters of the circles. 

Answer»

Let the radii of the two circles be r1 and r2.

And, the circumferences of the two circles be C1 and C2.

We know that, circumference of circle (C) = 2πr

Given,

Sum of radii of two circle i.e., r1 + r2 = 140 cm … (i)

Difference of their circumference,

C1 – C2 = 88 cm

2πr1 – 2πr= 88 cm

2(22/7)(r1 – r2) = 88 cm

(r1 – r2) = 14 cm

r1 = r2 + 14….. (ii) 

Substituting the value of rin equation (i), we have,

r+ r2 + 14 = 140

2r2 = 140 – 14

2r= 126

r2 = 63 cm

Substituting the value of rin equation (ii), we have,

r= 63 + 14 = 77 cm

Therefore,

Diameter of circle 1 = 2r= 2 x 77 = 154 cm

Diameter of circle 2 = 2r= 2 × 63 = 126 cm

The diameter of the driving wheel of a bus is 140 cm. How many revolutions per minute must the wheel make in order to keep a speed of 66 km per hour?

Answer»

Given diameter of the wheel = 140 cm

Desired speed of the bus = 66 km/hr

Distance covered by the wheel in 1 revolution = Circumference of the wheel 

Circumference of the wheel = πd

C = 22/7 × 140

C = 440 cm

Now, the desired speed of the bus = 66 km/hr = 66 × 1000 × (100/60) = 110000 cm/min

Number of revolution per minute = 110000/440

= 250

Therefore, the bus must make 250 revolutions per minute to keep the speed at 66 km/hr.

A boy is cycling such that the wheels of the cycle are making 140 revolutions per minute. If the diameter of the wheel is 60 cm, calculate the speed per hour with which the boy is cycling.

Answer»

Given the diameter of the wheel = 60 cm

Distance covered by the wheel in 1 revolution = Circumference of the wheel

Distance covered by the wheel in 1 revolution = πd

= 22/7 × 60 cm

Distance covered by the wheel in 140 revolutions = 22/7 × 60 × 140

= 26400 cm

Thus, the wheel covers 26400 cm in 1 minute. Then,

Speed = 26400/100 × 60 m/hr

= 264 × 60 m/hr

= 264 × 60/1000 km/hr

= 15.84 km/hr

The speed with which the boy is cycling is 15.84 km/hr.

A car travels 1 kilo meter distance in which each wheel makes 450 complete revolutions. Find the radius of its wheels.

Answer»

Total distance covered = 1 km = 100000 cm 

Distance covered by circular wheel in 1 revolution = circumference of circle 

Circumference of circle = 2πr 

Total no. of revolution = 450 

= 2πr × 450 = 100000

r = \(\frac{10000\times7}{450\times2\times22}\) = 35.35 cm

A bicycle wheel makes 5000 revolutions in moving 11 km. Find the diameter of the wheel.

Answer»

Given total distance covered by bicycle in 5000 revolutions = 11 km = 11000 m

Therefore distance covered in 1 revolution = 11000/5000 = 2.2 m = 11/5

Distance covered in 1 revolution = Circumference of the wheel

C = πd

11/5 = (22/7) d

d = (11 × 7)/ (5 × 22)

d = 77/110

d = 0.7 m

Therefore diameter of wheel = 0.7 m = 70 cm

In covering a distance s metres, a circular wheel of radius r metres makes s/2πr revolutions. Is this statement true? Why?

Answer»

True

Explanation:

The distance travelled by a circular wheel of radius r m in one revolution is equal to the circumference of the circle = 2πr

No. of revolutions completed in 2πr m distance = 1

No. of revolutions completed in 1 m distance = (1/2πr)

No. of revolutions completed in s m distance = (1/2πr) × s = s/2πr

Thus, the statement “in covering a distance s metres, a circular wheel of radius r metres makes s/2πr revolutions” is true.

The diameter of roller 1.5 m long is 84 cm. If it takes 100 revolutions to level a playground, find the cost of levelling this ground at the rate of 50 paise per square meter.

Answer»

Given,

Diameter of roller = 84 cm

So radius of roller =\(\cfrac{84}2\) = 42 cm = .42 m

Length of roller = 1.5 m

Area covered by roller in one revolution = 2πrh = 2 \(\times\cfrac{22}7\times \)4.2 \(\times\) 1.5 =  3.96 m2

Area covered by it in 100 revolution = 100 × 3.96 = 396 m2

Cost of levelling 1m2 area = Rs. .50

∴cost of levelling 396m2 = .50 × 396 = Rs. 198

The diameter of a roller 120cm long is 84cm. If its takes 500 complete revolutions to level a playground determine the cost of leveling at the rate of Rs. 25per square metre. (Use π = 22/7 )

Answer»

2r = 84cm

∴ r = 84/2cm = 42cm

h = 120cm

Area of the playground leveled in one complete revolution = 2πrh

= 2 × 22/7 × 42 × 120 × 31680cm2

∴  Area of the playground = 31680 × 500cm2

= (31680 x 500)/(100 x 100)m2 = 1584m2

∴ Cost of leveling @ Rs 25 per square metre = Rs 1584 × 25 = 39600.

The diameter of a roller is 84 cm and its length is 120 cm. It takes 500 complete revolutions to roll once over the play ground to level. Find the area of the play ground in m2

Answer»

Diameter of the roller = 84 cm 

Thus radius = 84/2 = 42 cm

= 42/100 = 0.42m

Length of the roller =120 cm 

= 120/100 = 1.2m

It takes 500 complete revolutions to roll over the play ground. 

Thus 500 × L.S.A. of the roller

= Area of the play ground 

∴ Area of the play ground = 500 × 2πrh

= 500 × 2 × 22/7 × 0.42 × 1.2 = 1584 m2

I had Rs 14.40 in one-rupee coins and 20 paise coins when I went out shopping. When I returned, I had as many one rupee coins as I originally had 20 paise coins and as many 20 paise coins as I originally had one rupee coins. Briefly, I came back with about one-third of what I had started out with. How many one-rupee coins did I have initially ? (a) 10 (b) 12 (c) 14 (d) 16

Answer»

(c) 14

Suppose I have x, one-rupee coins and y, 20 – paise coins.

x × 1 + y × 0.2 = 14.40 \(\Rightarrow\) x + 0.2y = 14.4 …(i) 

After shopping, I had y one-rupee coins and x 20-paise coins.

Also, x × 0.2 + y × 1 = \(\frac{1}{3}\) x 14.4

\(\Rightarrow\) 0.2x + y = 4.8 ........(ii)

[Note: To solve the equations of the form ax + by = c and bx + ay = d, where a \(\ne\) b, we can use the following method also.]

Adding eqn (i) and (ii), we get

1.2 x + 1.2 y = 19.2 \(\Rightarrow\)x + y = \(\frac{19.2}{1.2}\)= 16 .........(iii)

and subtracting eqn (ii) from eqn (i), we get 

– 0.8x + 0.8y = –9.6 \(\Rightarrow\) x – y = 12 ..........(iv)

Now adding (iii) and (iv), we get

2x = 28 \(\Rightarrow\) x = 14.

Salman started a hotel with an amount of ₹ 75,000. After 5 months Deepak joined with an amount of ₹ 80,000. At the end of the year they earned a profit of ₹ 73,000. How will they share their profit?

Answer»

Given Salman’s investment = ₹ 75000 

Salman’s period in business = 1 year = 12 months 

Deepak’s investment = ₹ 80000 

Deepak’s period in business = 7 months 

The ratio of investments of Salman to 

Deepak = 75000 : 80000 = 15 : 16 

The ratio of periods of business of 

Salman to Deepak = 12 : 7 

The profit should be distributed on the basis of compound ratio of 15 : 16 and 12 : 7 is 

15 × 12 : 16 × 7 = 180 : 112 

= 45 : 28 

Therefore, compound ratio = 45 : 28 

Profit = ₹ 73,000 

Total parts = 45 + 28 = 73 

∴ Salman’s profit = 73000 × 45/73 = ₹ 45000 

Deepak’s profit = 73000 × 28/73 

= ₹ 28,000

A car can finish a certain journey in 10 hours at the speed of 48 km/hr. By how much should its speed be increased so that it may take only 8 hours to cover the same distance?

Answer»

Let us consider the speed of the car as ‘x’ km/hr.

Time (hrs.)108
Speed (km/hr.)48x

We know k = xy

10 × 48 = 8 × x

x = (10×48)/8

= 60

Increased speed = 60 – 48 = 12km/hr.

∴ The speed should be increased by 12 km/hr. to cover the same distance.

121587.

Men1200x
Time (days)3525

We know k = xy

1200 × 35 = x × 25

x = (1200×35)/25

= 1680

So, 1680 – 1200 = 480 Men

∴ 480 men should join for the same stock to last for 25 days.

Two friends Prabhu and Suresh started a business with ₹ 1,00,000 each. After 3 months Suresh left the business. At the end of the year, there was a profit of ₹ 20,000. Calculate the profits shared by Prabhu and Suresh?

Answer»

Here Prabhu and Suresh started a business with ₹ 1,00,000. 

Prabhu continued till the end of the year.

Suresh continued only for 3 months. 

The ratio of the contributions = 100000: 100000 = 1 : 1 

Ratio of their period of business = 12 : 3 = 4 : 1 

So, their profits should be divided on the basis of compound ratio 

Compound ratio = 1 × 4 : 1 × 1 

Profit = ₹ 20,000 

Total parts= 4 + 1 = 5 

Suresh’s profit = 20000 × 1/5 

= ₹ 4000 

Prabhus profit = 20000 – 4000 

= ₹ 16000

At what rate a sum doubles itself in 8 year 4 months?

Answer»

Let the principle be P 

then A = 2P 

T =8 years 4 months = 8y \(\frac {4}{12}\) y = 8 \(\frac13\) years

R = R% say 

We know that

I = \(\frac {PTR}{100}\) 

Here I = A – P 

= 2P – P = P 

∴ P = \(\frac {P.\frac {25}{3}\times R}{100}\)

∴ R = 100 x \(\frac {3}{25}\) = 12%

121591.

₹ 3000 is lent out at 9% rate of interest. Find the Interest which will be received at the end of 2 1/2 years.

Answer»

P = ₹3000 R = 9% T = 2 1/2 years = \(\frac 52\)

3000 x \(\frac {9}{100} \times \frac 52\) = ₹675

121592.

How long will it take for a sum of ₹ 12600 invested at 9% per annum become to ₹ 15624?

Answer»

Here A = ₹ 15,624 

R = 9% T = ? 

P = ₹ 12,600 

∴ I = A – P = 15,624 – 12,600 = ₹ 3024

Also I = \(\frac {PRT}{100}\)

∴ 3024 = \(\frac {12600\times9\times T}{100}\)

∴  T = \(\frac {3024 \times 100}{12600\times 9} = \frac {24}{9} = \frac {8}{3} = 2\frac 23\) years

The cost of 12 quintals of soyabean is Rs 36,000. How much will 8 quintals cost?

Answer»

Let the cost of 8 quintals of soyabean be Rs x. The quantity of soyabeans and their cost are in direct proportion.

\(\therefore \frac{12}{36000} = \frac{8}{x}\)

∴ 12x = 8 × 36000 ….(Multiplying both sides by 36000x)

\(\therefore x = \frac{8 \times 36000}{12} = 24000\)

∴ The cost of 8 quintals of soyabean is Rs 24000.
