A man reads 3/8 of a book on a day and 4/5 of the remainder on the second day. If the number of pages still unread are 40, then how many pages did the book contain?

Answer»

Let the number of pages be p.

Number of pages read on first day = 3p/8

Remaining pages = p - 3p/8 = (8p - 3p)/8 = 5p/8

Number of pages read on second day = 4/5 x 5p/8 = p/2

Now , remaining pages = p - [ 3p/8 + p/2]

= p - [(3p + 4p)/8] = [p- 7p/ 8]

= [(8p - 7p)/ 8] = p/8

According to the question

p/8 = 40

⇒ p = 40 x 8

∴ p = 320

35.

1 is the smallest prime number?

Answer»

Using this definition, 1 can be divided by 1 and the number itself, which is also 1, so 1 is a prime number. However, modern mathematicians define a number as prime if it is divided by exactly two numbers. For example: 13 is prime, because it can be divided by exactly two numbers, 1 and 13.

Find the smallest number which is divisible by 12, 15, 20 and also is a perfect square?1. 16002. 4003. 9004. 3600

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 900

Concept used:

LCM will be the smallest number divisible by all of the numbers and the required answer will be the multiple of LCM

Calculation:

12 = 2 × 2 × 3

15 = 3 × 5

20 = 2 × 2 × 5

LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

⇒ 60

Out of the 4 options, 900 is the multiple of 60 and also a perfect square

∴ The smallest number which is divisible by 12, 15 and 20 and also is a perfect square is 900

41.

Find the smallest perfect square number divisible by 12, 15 and 18.1. 9002. 16003. 4004. 100

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 900

Given:

The numbers are 12, 15 and 18.

Concept used:

To make N(LCM) = xa × yb × zperfect square.      (where x, y and z are prime numbers and a, b and c are integers)

Multiply the number by the same number whose power is odd.

Calculations:

12 = 22 × 31

15 = 31 × 51

18 = 21 × 32

N =  22 × 32 × 51

Multiply N by 5 to get perfect square,

5N = 22 × 32 × 52 = 900

∴ The smallest perfect square number divisible by 12, 15 and 18 is 900.

42.

Find the smallest number which is divisible by 12, 15, 20 and also is a perfect square?1. 16002. 9003. 36004. 400

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 900

Calculation:

LCM of 12, 15 and 20 by prime factorization method

12 = 2 × 2 × 3

15 = 3 × 5

20 = 2 × 2 × 5

LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

⇒ 60

The smallest number which is divisible by 60 and is a perfect square = 60 × 15

⇒ 900

∴ The required number is 900

43.

Multiplication of matrices E and F is G. Matrices E and G are\(E = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {cos\theta }&{ - sin\theta }&0\\ {sin\theta }&{cos\theta }&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\) and \(G= \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&0&0\\ 0&1&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\). What is the matrix F?1. \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {cos\theta }&{ - sin\theta }&0\\ {sin\theta }&{cos\theta }&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\)2. \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {sin\theta }&{cos\theta }&0\\ { - cos\theta }&{sin\theta }&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\)3. \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {cos\theta }&{sin\theta }&0\\ { - sin\theta }&{cos\theta }&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\)4. \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {sin\theta }&{ - cos\theta }&0\\ {cos\theta }&{sin\theta }&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\)

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {cos\theta }&{sin\theta }&0\\ { - sin\theta }&{cos\theta }&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\)

\(E = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {cos\theta }&{ - sin\theta }&0\\ {sin\theta }&{cos\theta }&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\) & \(G = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&0&0\\ 0&1&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\)

According to problem, E × F = G

OR, \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {cos\theta }&{ - sin\theta }&0\\ { - sin\theta }&{cos\theta }&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\) × \(F = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&0&0\\ 0&1&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\)

Hence it can be seen that product of (E × F) is unit matrix. So F will be the inverse of E.

\(\Rightarrow F = {E^{ - 1}} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {cos\theta }&{sin\theta }&0\\ { - sin\theta }&{cos\theta }&0\\ 0&0&1 \end{array}} \right]\)

Comprehension35 out of 100 people like only coffee, 40 like only tea, 15 like both tea and coffee and 10 like only milk.What is the ratio of people who like milk and people who like tea?A. 1/4B. 2/11C. 2/7D. 1/21. D2. A3. C4. B

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : B

Given:

Total people = 100

People like Coffee = 35

People like Tea = 40

People like Tea and coffee = 15

People like Milk = 10

Calculation:

People like tea

⇒ 40 + 15

⇒ 55

The ratio of people who like milk and people who like tea

⇒ 10/55

⇒ 2/11

∴ The ratio of people who like milk and people who like tea is 2/11.
