Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : The statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but, statement II alone is not sufficient. Concept Used: Total work is LCM of work done by all the persons. Formula Used: Total Work = Efficiency × Time Calculations: Statement I. X, Y and Z together can do a piece of work in 19 days. X and Y together can complete the work in 28.5 days Y and Z together can complete the work in 38 days. Total work = LCM of (19, 28.5, 38) = 114 Total Work = Efficiency × Time 114 = (X + Y + Z) × 19 ⇒ (X + Y + Z) = 114/19 = 6 ----(1) Similarly, 114 = (X + Y) × 28.5 ⇒ (X + Y) = 114/28.5 = 4 ----(2) Similarly, 114 = (Y + Z) × 38 ⇒ (Y + Z) = 114/38 = 3 ----(3) Adding (2) and (3) and subtracting (1) from it, we get (X + 2Y + Z) – (X + Y + Z) = (4 + 3) – 6 ⇒ Y = 1 Putting in Y (3), we get Z = 3 – 1 = 2 Now, Total Work = Efficiency × Time ⇒ 114 = Z × Time ⇒ Time = 114/2 = 57 days So, statement I alone is sufficient to answer. Statement II. Y takes 29 days to complete the work alone. We cannot find efficiency of Z from this statement alone. So, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. ∴ The statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but, statement II alone is not sufficient. |

The marker is marked 15% above the cost price.Statement II. A discount of 4% is given and the cost price the marker is Rs. 250.1. The statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question but, statement II alone is not sufficient.2. The statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question but, statement I alone is not sufficient.3. Both the statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.4. Either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.5. Neither statement I nor statement II is sufficient to answer the question. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Both the statements I and II together are needed to answer the question. Formula Used: SP = MRP × (1 – D%/100) Profit = SP – CP Profit% on SP = (P/SP) × 100 where, MRP → Marked price, SP → Selling price, CP → Cost price, D% → Discount percent, P% → Profit percent Calculations: Statement I. Relation between MRP and CP is given, but the CP is not given ⇒ Statement I alone is not sufficient Statement II. CP = Rs. 250 MRP = Rs. (115/100) × 250 ⇒ MRP = Rs. 287.5 SP = MRP × (1 – D%/100) ⇒ SP = 287.5 × (1 – 4/100) ⇒ SP = Rs. 276 Profit = Rs. (276 – 250) ⇒ Profit = Rs. 26 Now, Profit% on SP = (P/SP) × 100 ⇒ Profit% on SP = (26/276) × 100 ⇒ Profit% on SP = 9.4% ∴ The statement I and statement II both are needed to answer the question. |

Directions: In the following question, two statements are numbered as Quantity I and Quantity II. On solving these statements, we get quantities I and II respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option.Quantity I: Three years ago, the ratio of age of son and father was 1 : 8. After three years the ratio of their age will become 5 : 19. What is the present age of son?Quantity II: Three years ago, the ratio of age of son and mother was 1 : 9. After two years the ratio of their age will become 1 : 4. What is the present age of son?1. Quantity I > Quantity II2. Quantity I < Quantity II3. Quantity I = Quantity II4. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II5. Quantity I ≤ Quantity II |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Quantity I > Quantity II Solving for Quantity I: Given: Three years ago, the ratio of age of son and father = 1 : 8 After three years, the ratio of age of son and father = 5 : 19 Calculations: Let three years ago from present, the age of son and father be x and 8x years respectively. So, After 6 years ratio of their age will be 5 : 19 ⇒ (x + 6)/(8x + 6) = 5 : 19 ⇒ 19x + 114 = 40x + 30 ⇒ 21x = 84 ⇒ x = 4 Present age of son = x + 3 ⇒ 4 + 3 ⇒ 7 ∴ Present age of son is 7 years. Solving for Quantity II: Given: Three years ago, the ratio of age of son and mother = 1 : 9 After three years the ratio of age of son and mother = 1 : 4 Calculations: Let three years ago from present, the age of son and mother be x and 9x years respectively. So, After 5 years ratio of their age will be 1 : 4 ⇒ (x + 5)/(9x + 5) = 1 : 4 ⇒ 4x + 20 = 9x + 5 ⇒ 5x = 15 ⇒ x = 3 Present age of son = x + 3 ⇒ 3 + 3 ⇒ 6 ∴ Present age of son is 6 years. ∴ Quantity I > Quantity II |

Learn Maths Decimal Formula, Theory, Tips, Properties, and Uses of Class 6 and class 7. It will helpful for the exam. |
Answer» Decimal:Do you ever thought that if there were no any decimal system in early age then if some want to buy only a part of whole then how they did that? Decimal system helped us to simplify the number system and elevate it. With the help of decimal system you now can take any amount of the whole and pay accordingly by using decimal system. Dot (∙) represents decimal. Tenth:When a whole object is described in 10 units one part of the whole is said to be tenth of that object. Similarly 2 part of the whole is said to be 2 tenths and so on. And the most important thing is when we have to describe 3 part and 2 objects, we can write 3 part of whole = \(\frac{3}{10}\) also written as 0.3 2 whole = 2 Total = 2 + \(\frac{3}{10}\) = 2.3 read as two point three. Representing Decimals on number line:We have to represent 0.6 on number line which is 6 part in 10. Fractions as decimals:We can represent any fraction as decimal. As \(\frac{8}{5}\) can be written as 10th order. We multiply its numerator and denominator by 2. Decimals as fractions:We can represent any decimal as fraction. As 3.5 when written in fraction is \(\frac{35}{10}\) which when divided by equal numbers to numerator and denominator i.e. divide it by 5 we get \(\frac{7}{2}\). Hundredth:If a whole object contains 100 part and then 1 part of it is called hundredth. As 5 part of the whole is \(\frac{5}{100}\) = 0.05 Comparing Decimals:When we have to compare two decimal terms as 5.3 and 5.37. First, we will check the whole part of the two numbers which in these number is same. Then we check its tenth part which is also the same in this case then we will check its hundredth part which in first number is zero and in 2nd number is 7 which is greater than zero. Thus, second number is greater than the first. “ We use Decimals in many ways in our lives. For example, in representing units of money, length and weight.” Decimal in terms ofMoney:We know that 100 paise = Rs.1 So, 1 paise = Rs. \(\frac{1}{100}\) = Rs. 0.01 Also, 55 paise = Rs. \(\frac{55}{100}\) = Rs. 0.55 And Rs1 and 32 paisa = Rs 1.32 Length:We know that 1cm = \(\frac{1}{100}\) m or 0.01 m. 56cm = \(\frac{56}{100}\) m = 0.56 m 1m and 30 cm =1m + \(\frac{30}{100}\) = 1.3m Weight:We know that 1000 g = 1 kg Therefore, 1 g =\(\frac{1}{1000}\)kg = 0.001 kg |

What is monopoly? Explain its features. ? |
|
Answer» Monopoly is the addition to two words, i.e. ‘Mono’ + ‘Poly’, i.e. single seller in the market. Being the single seller in on the supply of the commodity. Impure monopoly even no close substitute of In product is available in the market. In monopoly, no distinction arises between ‘firm’ and ‘industry’ i.e. firm is industry and industry is firm. Definitions:- 1. According to Mc councell, “Pure monopoly exists when a single firm is the sole producer of a product for which there are no close substitutes Features of Monopoly: The main features of monopoly are as follows:- 1. Single seller and large Number of buyers: Monopoly market consists single seller of the product but the number of buyers stands very large. No buyer can influence the price of the product due to his large number in the market. 2. No close substitutes: Monopoly firm produces such commodity which has no close substitute and as a result the cross elasticity of demand becomes zero. 3. Monopolist as a price- maker: Being the single seller in the market. The monopolist firm in itself a price- maker A monopolist firm can determine both price and quantity but not simultaneously (i.e either price or quantity at a particular time.) 4. No Entry of new firm : The entry of new firm into the industry is strictly prohibited. There is no competitor of monopoly firm in the market. 5. Demand curve Negatively sloped : Monopolist demand curve in negatively sloped and marginal revenue (MR) is lesion than average revenue (AR). The slope of demand curve depends on elasticity of demand. |

Learn Comparing Quantities and Ratio and Proportion formula and notes of class 6 and class 8. These ratios and proportion formulas and notes will help you to understand the concept. |
Answer» Ratio and Proportion Formulas & Notes:In everyday life, we always compare something of the same type. The ratio is also a mode of such comparisons. In this section, we will read ratio and proportion notes. Just an example you brought a bicycle for Rs 2000 and one of your friend brought the same bicycle in another shop for Rs. 1500. Now you compare the price as you had been thug by the shopkeeper by an amount of Rs.500. This amount of 500 came by taking the difference between the price of same quantity. This is the one way of comparison, but the method of taking difference is not good in case when we compare a much smaller amount to much higher amount. Such as we compare the price of a Tata Nano car to Lamborghini car. Read further in ratio and proportion notes. For this, the most accurate system was given as ratio which is comparison by division which is termed as Ratio. Ratio:When two quantities of same units are compared by division, this method of comparison is called ratio. It is said in this mode of comparison that one quantity is how many times the other.
Examples of ratio:
Proportion:If two ratios are equal, we say that they are in proportion and use the symbol ‘::’ or ‘=’ to equate the two ratios. This equation of ratio is said to be proportion. If two ratios are not equal, then we say that they are not in proportion. Also take a look at examples given in ratio and proportion notes. For representation of proportion: we can say 2, 5, 14 and 35 are in proportion which is written as 2 : 5:: 14 : 35 and is read as 2 is to 5 as 14 is to 35 or it is written as 2 : 5 = 14 : 35. Terms related to proportion:
Now read the other section of ratio and proportion notes i.e. unitary method. Unitary method:The method in which first we find the value of one unit and then the value of required number of units is known as Unitary Method.
Examples from ratio and proportion notes:
Solution: Total number of workers = 40 Number of males = 40 – 15 = 25 Therefore, the ratio of number of females to the number of males And that of number of males to the number of females
Learn and revise ratio and proportion notes to score better in examinations. |

Explain the managed floating exchange rate system. |
|
Answer» International trade and the flow of foreign investments are adversely affected by fluctuation of exchange rates. For solving this problem, Smithsonian Agreement was made on December 18,1971. This agreement raised the fluctuation range of exchange parity at both ends by 1 percent to 2.25 percent. On February 12,1973, after the devaluation of American dollar Smithsonian Agreement was broken. After Jamaica Agreement in January 1976, floating exchange rate system was launched under International monetary fund. In fact, floating exchange rate system was not a free flexible exchange rate system but is a managed floating exchange rate system in which the monetary authority of the nations were given the responsibility to eliminate short-run fluctuations of exchange rates without affecting the long-run trends of the exchange rates. Thus, in this given opportunity to enjoy the benefits of fixed exchange rates on one hand and also to maintain flexible exchange rate for adjusting imbalances in balance of payments on the other. In managed floating exchange-rate short-term fluctuations of exchange rate are controlled with the use of foreign exchange funds without affecting the long-term inclination of exchange rates. Clean Floating and Dirty Floating systems. i. In clean floating system, exchange rate is allowed to be determined by two free forces of demand and supply in the market. In this system, monetary authority is not allowed to interfere and foreign exchange market re-adjusts itself by demand and supply forces without any intervention. ii. In Dirty Floating system, the monetary authority of the country marks intervention to check fluctuations of exchange rate. The basic aim of this intervention is to favour domestic nation. Thus, in clear floating system exchange rte stability is obtained with flexibility to same extent but in dirty floating system, there is no flexibility in exchange rate. |
