Question : A tap can fill a tank in $5 \frac{1}{2}$ hours. Because of a leak, it took $8 \frac{1}{4}$ hours to fill the tank. In how much time (in hours) will the leak alone empty 30% of the tank?
Option 1: $\frac{99}{20}$
Option 2: $\frac{5}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{9}{2}$
Option 4: $\frac{17}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{99}{20}$
Solution : Time taken by A to fill the tank = $5\frac{1}{2}\ \text{hours} = \frac{11}{2}\ \text{hours}$ Because of leak, the tank filled in = $8\frac{1}{4}\ \text{hours} = \frac{33}{4}\ \text{hours}$ LCM of 11 and 33 = 33 Capacity of the tank = 33 Efficiency of A to fill
Question : $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ and $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$ are similar triangles and their areas are 49 cm2 and 144 cm2 respectively, If $EF$ = 16.80 cm, then find $BC$.
Option 1: 7.5 cm
Option 2: 9.8 cm
Option 3: 8.7 cm
Option 4: 11.4 cm
Correct Answer: 9.8 cm
Solution : Given, $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ and $\triangle \mathrm{DEF}$ are similar triangles. $\therefore$ The ratio of their area will be equal to the ratio of squares of their lengths. ⇒ $\frac{49}{144} = \frac{\text{BC }^2}{(16.80)^2}$ ⇒ $\text{BC} = \sqrt{\frac{49}{144}\times(16.8)^2}$ ⇒ $\text{BC} =16.8\times \frac{7}{12}$ ⇒ $\text{BC} = 9.8\ \mathrm{cm}$
