How many planks of size 2 m x 25 cm x 8 cm can be prepared from a wooden block 5 m long, 70 cm broad and 32 cm thick, assuming that there is no wastage? |
|
Answer» We know that, Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height Therefore, Total volume of the block = (500 × 70 × 32) = 1120000 cm3 Total volume of each plank = 200 × 25 × 8 = 40000 cm3 Hence, Total number of planks that can be made = \(\frac{Total\,volume\,of\,the\,block}{Volume\,of\,each\,plank}\) = \(\frac{1120000}{40000}\) = 28 planks |

Write the disadvantages of object oriented programming. |
|
Answer» The few disadvantages of OOP are: 1. Size: Object-Oriented programs are much larger than other programs. In the early days of computing, space on hard drives, floppy drives and in memory was at a premium. Today we do not have these restrictions. 2. Effort: 3. Speed: 4. Not suitable for all types of problems: 5. Not all programs can be modeled accurately by the objects model. If you just want to read in some data, do something simple to.it and write it back out, you have no need to define classes and objects. However, in some OOP languages, you may have to perform this extra step. 6. The objects often require extensive documentation. |

Mention any two advantages of object oriented programming over earlier programming methods. |
|
Answer» 1. OOP provides useful features like Inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation, not available in earlier programming methods. 2. Once an object is created, knowledge of its implementation is not necessary for its use. In older programs, coders needed understand the details of a piece of code before using it in this or another program. |

A godown measures 40 m × 25 m × 10 m. Find the maximum number of wooden crates each measuring 1.5 m × 1.25 m × 0.5 m that can be stored in the godown. |
|
Answer» The godown has its length (l1) as 40 m, breadth (b1) as 25 m, height (h1) as 10 m, while the wooden crate has its length (l2) as 1.5 m, breadth (b2) as 1.25 m, and height (h2) as 0.5 m. Therefore, volume of godown = l1 × b1 × h1 = (40 × 25 × 10) m3 = 10000 m3 = (1.5 × 1.25 × 0.5) m3 = 0.9375 m3 Let n wooden crates can be stored in the godown. Therefore, volume of n wooden crates = Volume of godown 0.9375 × n = 10000 n = 10000/0.9375 = 10666.66 Therefore, 10666 wooden crates can be stored in the godown. |

The Coefficients of variation of two series are 30% and 25% and their standard deviations are 15 and 9 respectIvely. Find their means. |
|
Answer» First Series: Coefficient of variation: 30% s = 15 x̄ = ? Coefficient of variation = \(\frac{s}{\bar x}\) × 100 ∴ 30 = \(\frac{15}{\bar x}\) × 100 ∴ 30x̄ = 1500 ∴ x̄ = \(\frac{1500}{30}\) ∴x̄ = 50 Second series: Coefficient of variation: 25% s = 9 x̄ = ? Coefficient of variation = \(\frac{s}{\bar x}\) × 100 ∴ 25 = \(\frac{9}{\bar x}\) × 100 ∴ 25x̄ = 900 ∴ x̄ = \(\frac{900}{25}\) ∴x̄ = 36 |

Answer» Given, Area of 3 adjacent faces of a cuboid = x, y, z V = volume of cuboid Let a, b, c are respectively length, breadth, height of each faces of cuboid So, x = ab = y = bc = z = ca V = abc Hence , xyz = ab × bc × ca = (abc)2 = v2 (v=abc) = v2 = xyz Proved. |
|
| 343. |
The areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are x, y, and z. If the volume is V, prove that V2 = xyz. |
|
Answer» Let us consider, Areas of three faces of cuboid as x,y,z So, Let length of cuboid be = l Breadth of cuboid be = b Height of cuboid be = h Let, x = l×b y = b×h z = h×l Else we can write as xyz = l2 b2 h2….. (i) If ‘V’ is volume of cuboid = V = lbh V2 = l2 b2 h2 = xyz …… from (i) ∴ V2 = xyz Hence proved. |
|
| 344. |
The areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are x, y and z. If the volume is V, Prove that V2 = xyz. |
|
Answer» Let a, b and c be the length, breadth, and height of the cuboid. Then, x = ab, y = bc and z = ca [Since areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are x, y and z (Given)] And xyz = ab x bc x ca = (abc)2 ……(1) We know, Volume of a cuboid ( V ) = abc …..(2) From equation (1) and (2), we have V2 = xyz Hence proved. |
