What will come in place of question mark (?) in the following number series?  4, 9, 19, 39, ?1. 242. 793. 684. 29

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 79

Calculation:

4

⇒ 4 × 2 + 1 = 9

⇒ 9 × 2 + 1 = 19

⇒ 19 × 2 + 1 = 39

⇒ 39 × 2 + 1 = 79

∴ 79 will be next number in this series.

The correct option is 2 i.e. 79.

2.

Which one is incorrect? 1. 25 × 2 × 10 = 100 × 5 × 22. 7 × 1 × 13 = 13 × 73. 12 × 0 × 5 = 13 × 04. 178 × 2 = 89 × 4

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 25 × 2 × 10 = 100 × 5 × 2

Calculation:

25 × 2 × 10 = 500

100 × 5 × 2 = 1000

7 × 1 × 13 = 13 × 7 = 91

12 × 0 × 5 = 13 × 0 = 0

178 × 2 = 89 × 4 = 356

∴ In option 1 product of RHS and LHS is not equal.

The correct option is 1  i.e. 25 × 2 × 10 = 100 × 5 × 2

If the five-digit number 235 xy is divisible by 3, 7 and 11, then what is the value of (3x - 4y)?1. 92. 53. 84. 10

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 10

Given:

Five-digit number 235xy is divisible by 3, 7 and 11

Concept used:

Divisibility rule of 3- The sum of its digit is divisible by 3.

Divisibility rule of 7-  To make a pair of 3 from unit digit than subtract left over pair,

The result is divisible by 7.

Divisibility rule of 11- The difference of the sum of odd place and even place is zero or multiples of 11.

The result is divisible by 11.

Calculation:

235xy

For 3, x + y = 2, 5, 8, 11

For 11, (7 + y) - (3 + x) = 0 or 11

y = 2 then x = 6, x + y = 8

For 7, 562 - 023 = 539

it is also divisible by 7

number = 23562 and x = 6, y = 2

now,

3x - 4y = 18 - 8 = 10

∴ The value of 3x - 4y is 10.

4.

What will be the HCF of 56, 216, 28 ?1. 282. 23. 84. 4

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 4

Given-   

Given numbers = 56, 216, 28

Concept Used-

The greatest number which divides a given set of numbers is the HCF of that given set of numbers.

Calculation- 

56 = 7 × 23

216 = 23 × 33

28 = 22 × 7

∴ HCF of 56, 216, 28 = 22 = 4.

5.

The product of 216 and a number is P. Taking 12 away from P gives 6900. The number is:1. 232. 303. 364. 32

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 32

Calculation:

Let assume that number is x

According to the question

216 × x = P        ----(1)

P – 12 = 6,900       ----(2)

⇒ P = 6,900 + 12

⇒ P = 6,912

Placing value of P in Equation (1)

⇒ 216 × x = 6,912

⇒ x = 6,912 ÷ 216

⇒ x = 32

∴ That number is 32.

The correct option is i.e. 32.

In how many ways can a committee of 3 ladies and 4 gentlemen be selected from agathering of 8 ladies and 7 gentlemen? What will be the number of ways in case of Ms Arefusing to be in the committee if Mr. B is a member?

Answer»

3 ladies out of 8 can be selected in 8C3 ​ ways and 4 gentlemen out of 7 in 7C4 ​ ways. 

Now each way of selecting 3 ladies is associated with each way of selecting 4 gentlemen. 

Hence, the required number of ways = 8C3 ​ × 7C4 ​ =56×35=1960. 

We now find the number of committee of 3 ladies and 4 gentlemen in which both Mrs A and Mr B are member. 

In this case we can select 2 other ladies from the remaining 7 in 7C2 ​ ways and 3 other gentlemen from the remaining 6 in 6C3 ​ ways. 

∴ The number of ways in which both Mrs A and Mr B are always included = 7C2 ​ × 8C3 ​ =21×20=420 

Hence the required number of committee in which Mrs A and Mr B do not serve together =1960=420=1540.

12.

While the gentlemen ___ the recent events, the ladies ___ about the weather. A) discuss/talk B) are discussing/was talking C) being discussed/being talked D) were discussing/were talking E) have discussed/have talked

Answer»

Correct option is D) were discussing/were talking

Solve the differential equation:(D2 + 4D + 1)y = sin x .

Answer»

(D2 + 4D + 1)y = sin x

It's auxiliary equation is

m2 + 4m + 1 = 0

= m2 + 4m + 4 - 4 + 1 = 0

= (m + 2)2 = 3

= m + 2 = ± √3

= m = -2 ± √3

C.F = C1e-(2 + √3)x + C2e-(2 - √3)x

P.I = \(\cfrac1{D^2+4D+1}\) sin x

\(\cfrac1{-1^2+4D+1}\)sin x

\(\cfrac1{4D}\) sin x

\(\cfrac1{4}\) \(\int\) sin x (\(\because\) \(\cfrac1{D}\) f(x) = \(\int\) f(x) )

= - \(\cfrac1{4}\) cos x

\(\therefore\) complete solution of given differential equation is

y = C.F + P.I

= C1e-(2 + √3)x + C2e-(2 - √3)x

\(\cfrac{-cos\,x}4\)

\(\frac {d^4y}{dx^4} + \frac {d^3y}{dx^3} + \frac {d^2y}{dx^2}\) = 0d4y/dx4 + d3y/dx3 + d2y/dx2 = 0Homogeneous high order differential equation.

Answer»

Given differential equation is \(\frac {d^4y}{dx^4} + \frac {d^3y}{dx^3} + \frac {d^2y}{dx^2}\)

It's auxiliary equation is m4 + m3 + m2 = 0

= m2 (m2+m+1) = 0

= m = 0, 0, \(\frac {-1\pm \sqrt{1-4}}{2}\) 

= m = 0, 0, \(\frac {-1}{2}\pm\frac {\sqrt3}{2}\)

∴ C.F. = (C1 + C2x)e0x + e-x/2 \((C_3\,cos\frac {\sqrt3}{2}x + C_4sin \frac {\sqrt3}{2}x)\)

= C1 + C2 x + e-x/2 (\((C_3\, cos (\frac {\sqrt3}{2}x) + C_4\, sin (\frac {\sqrt3}{2}x)\)

15.

Solve: \(\frac {dy}{dx} \) = 1 - xy + y - x.

Answer»

\(\frac {dy}{dx} \) = 1-xy+y-x

= 1-x + y (1-x)

= (1-x) (1+y)

∴  \(\frac {dy}{1+y} \) = (1-x) dx

= ln [1+y] = \(x-\frac {x^2}{2} + C\) ( By integrating both sides)

which is solution of given differential equation.

16.

Find the consumer's surplus for the demand function \( p=10-x-x^{2} \) and the supply function is \( p=x+2 \) at an equilibrium.

Answer»

Given that

Pd = 10 - x - x2----(1)

and Ps = x + 2---(2)

On equilibrium, we have

Pd = Ps

⇒ 10 - x - x2 = x + 2

⇒ x2 + 2x - 8 = 0

⇒ (x + 4) (x - 2) = 0

⇒ (x + 4) (x - 2) = 0

⇒ x = 2, -4

\(\therefore\) x = 2 (\(\because\) x never be negative)

Put x = 2 in equation (1) we get

(Pd)2 = 10- 2 - 22

 = 10 - 2 - 4

 = 10 - 6 = 4

Now consumer's surplus = \(\int\limits_0^2(10-x-x^2)dx-2\times4\)

 = \([10x-\frac{x^2}2-\frac{x^3}3]_0^2-8\) 

 = 20 - 2 - 8/3 - 8

 = 10 - 8/3

 = \(\frac{30-8}3=\frac{22}3\)

17.

Mr. Rajkumar has invested 20000 in a year 2014 for 5 years. If CAGR for that investment turned out to be 11.84 %. What will be the end balance?

Answer»

Given t = 5 years

Vbegin = 20000 & CAGR = 11.84%

\(\because\) CAGR = \([(\frac{V_{final}}{V_{begin}})^{1/t}-1]\times100\)

⇒ 11.84  = \([(\frac{V_{final}}{20000})^{1/5}-1]\times100\) 

⇒ 1 + 0.1184 = \((\frac{V_{final}}{20000})^{1/5}\)

⇒ \(\frac{V_{final}}{20000}\) = (1.1184)5 = 1.7498

⇒ Vfinal = 34996

The end balance will be 34996.

Which is better investment : 6% Rs. 100 shares at Rs. 120 or 8% Rs. 10 shares at Rs. 15.

Answer»

Let the investment in each case = Rs. 120 In the first case,

Dividend on Rs. 120 = Rs. 6

In second case, Dividend on Rs. 10

= 8 × 10/100 = 0.8

Now dividend on Rs. 15 = 0.8

then dividend on Rs. 120 = (0.8 × 120)/15 = Rs. 6.4

It is clear that, second investment i.e. 8%

Rs.10 shares at 15 is more profitable.

The average monthly expenditure of a family for the first four months is ₹ 2570, for the next three months ₹ 2490 and for the last five months ₹ 3030. If the family saves ₹ 5320 during the whole year, the average monthly income of the family during the year is

Answer»

Total annual expenditure of the family = Rs. (4 x 2570 + 3 x 2490 + 5 x 3030)

= Rs. (10280 + 7470 + 15150) 

= Rs. 32900

Total income = Rs. (32900 + 5320) = Rs. 38220

∴  Required average monthly income = \(\frac{3880}{12}\) = Rs. 3185

21.

The compound interest and the simple interest on a certain sum of money for certain period of time and at the same rate of interest are the same find the time.

Answer»

\(C.I. = S.I\)

⇒ \(P\left( 1 + \frac R{100}\right)^T - P = \frac{PRT}{100}\)

⇒ \(P \left(\left(1 + \frac R {100}\right)^T - 1 \right) = \frac{PRT}{100}\)

⇒ \(\frac {RT}{100} = \left( 1 + \frac R{100}\right)^T - 1\)

⇒ \(\frac {RT}{100} + 1 = \left(\frac{100 + R}{100}\right) ^T\)

⇒ \(\frac{RT + 100}{100} = \left(\frac {R + 100}{100}\right)^T\)

For T = 1,

L.H.S = \(\frac{R + 100}{100}\)

R.H.S. = \(\frac{R + 100}{100}\) 

Hence, for after 1 year compound interest will be equal to simple interest.

speech about importance of birds and animals in our life

Answer»

Animals and birds do control and balance our environment. They have a great importance in our lives.  Animals are important in our daily life as well as for other purposes. Such that we use animals for providing us food, clothing, help in our works. In India animals are worshiped like snake, bull, oxen,cow,etc. All the fauna in the world is important. Even the small of the smallest of living creature is the part of the whole ecosystem.if any of the species would exhaust the whole ecosystem would be in danger. Animals and birds also can inspire us such that weaver birds inspired us to weave,dogs inspire us to be loyal and ants and the bees inspire us to work hard. Camel is the sheep of the desert who fulfills all the needs of the locals. It is only the one animal to survive in the desert without water for so many days.the next is cow it gives milk and some people do eat the meat of cow.horse, bullocks,elephant, etc. Are used for hazardous works still we are killing elephants for their tusks.if there would not have been birds then wright brothers would not have got the ideas about aeroplane. If there would not have been fishes the no ships were formed.So animals also contribute to the development of technologies.so if you want further development in technologies then stop killing animals and hurting them ruthlessly and teens should create an awareness among adults to not to kill animals.

A train moving with the speed of 25 m/s crosses a platform which is one third of its length in 20 seconds. What would be the length of the train?1. 325 m2. 125 m3. 275 m4. 225 m5. 375 m

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : 375 m

Given:

Speed of train = 25 m/s

Time taken to cross the platform = 20 second

Length of platform = Length of train/3

Formula used:

Distance = Speed × Time

Solution:

Let the length of train be 3x m

Length of platform = (1/3) × 3x

Length of platform = x m

Total distance covered by train = 3x + x = 4x m

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ 4x = 25 × 20

⇒ 4x = 500

⇒ x = 125

Length of train = 3x = 3 × 125

∴ Length of train is 375 m

Two boats P and Q travels downstream from A to B. The ratio of time taken to cover the distance from A to B by both boat is 4 : 5. If speed of boat Q is 34 km/h and speed of stream is 6 km/h, what will be the speed of  boat P, when it travel from B to A?1. 40 km/h2. 50 km/h3. 44 km/h4. 38 km/h5. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 38 km/h

Given: 

The ratio of time taken to cover the distance from A to B by both boats is 4 : 5

The speed of boat Q is 34 km/h

Concept: 

When distance is constant 

The ratio of speed is equal to inverse the ratio of time.

Hence, if the ratio of the speed of A : B is 4 : 5, the ratio of time taken by A and B would be 5 : 4. 

Calculation: 

Let the speed of boat P be x km/h.

According to the question 

The speed of boat P downstream is (x + 6) km/h

The speed of boat Q in downstream is (34 + 6) = 40 km/h 

Now, 

The ratio of the speed of boat P and Q is 

⇒ (x + 6) : 40 = 5 : 4

⇒ x + 6 = 50

⇒ x = 44 km/h

So, 

The speed of boat P, when It travels from B to A (upstream)

⇒ 44 - 6 

⇒ 38 km/h

∴ 38 km/h
