Question : In $\triangle P Q R, S$ is a point on the side QR such that $\angle Q P S=\frac{1}{2} \angle P S R, \angle Q P R=78^{\circ}$ and $\angle P R S=44^{\circ}$. What is the measure of $\angle PSQ$?
Option 1: 68$^{\circ}$
Option 2: 56$^{\circ}$
Option 3: 58$^{\circ}$
Option 4: 64$^{\circ}$
Correct Answer: 64$^{\circ}$
Solution :
$\angle Q P S=\frac{1}{2} \angle P S R$ Let $\angle PSR = 2\theta$ and $\angle QPS = \theta$ Sum of all the sides of the triangle = $180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\angle QPR + \angle PRS + \angle RQP = 180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $78^{\circ} + 44^{\circ} + \angle
Question : The slant height of a cone is 20 cm. If the area of its base is 616 cm2, then what is the curved surface area of this cone? (use $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: 960 cm2
Option 2: 400 cm2
Option 3: 1760 cm2
Option 4: 880 cm2
Correct Answer: 880 cm2
Solution : Given: The slant height of a cone is 20 cm. The area of its base is 616 cm2. The curved surface area of the cone is $\pi rl$ where $r$ and $l$ are its radius and slant height respectively. According to
Question : An inlet pipe can fill an empty tank in $4 \frac{1}{2}$ hours, while an outlet pipe drains a filled tank in $7 \frac{1}{5}$ hours. The tank is initially empty, and the two pipes are alternately opened for an hour each, till the tank is filled, starting with the inlet pipe. In how many hours will the tank be filled?
Option 1: 24 hours
Option 2: $20 \frac{1}{4}$ hours
Option 3: $20 \frac{3}{4}$ hours
Option 4: $22 \frac{3}{8}$ hours
Correct Answer: $22 \frac{3}{8}$ hours
Solution : An inlet pipe can fill an empty tank in $4\frac{1}{2}$ hours while an outlet pipe drains a filled tank in $7\frac{1}{5}$ hours. In 1 hour the inlet pipe can fill $\frac{2}{9}$th of the tank. In 1 hour the outlet pipe can empty $\frac{5}{36}$th
Question : An army of 12000 consists of Europeans and Indians. The average height of a European is 5 ft 10 inches and that of an Indian is 5 ft 9 inches and that of the whole army is 5 ft $9\frac{3}{4}$ inches. Then the number of Indians in the army is:
Option 1: 3000
Option 2: 4000
Option 3: 5500
Option 4: 2700
Correct Answer: 3000
Solution : Given: Average height of a European = 5 feet 10 inches Average height of an Indian = 5 feet 9 inches Average height of the army = 5 feet $9\frac{3}{4}$ inches By using alligation method, we get: European = 5 feet $9\frac{3}{4}$ inches – 5
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, BIND is coded as 9214 and DRIB is coded as 4109. What is the code for N in the given code language?
Option 1: 4
Option 2: 2
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 9
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: BIND is coded as 9214 and DRIB is coded as 4109.
Analyse the codes for BIND and DRIB. Here, the common alphabets of BIND and DRIB→B, I, D And, common numbers→4, 1, 9 Therefore, the remaining letter in BIND is N and the remaining
Question : A shopkeeper claims to sell his article at a discount of 10% but marks his articles by increasing the cost of each by 20%. His gain percentage is:
Option 1: 18%
Option 2: 12%
Option 3: 8%
Option 4: 16%
Correct Answer: 8%
Solution : Let $100x$ be the cost price. Marked price = 20% above cost price = $100x + 20x$ = $120x$ Discount = 10% of marked price = 10% of $120x$ = $12x$ Selling price = marked price – discount = $120x - 12x$ = $108x$ Gain
