Question : Find the value of $k$, if $13 - [10 - \{16 + 8 \div(k - 2)\} + 2] = 20$

Option 1: $\frac{14}{3}$

Option 2: $\frac{31}{3}$

Option 3: $\frac{40}{13}$

Option 4: $\frac{23}{13}$

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{14}{3}$


Solution : $13-[10-\{16+8 \div(k-2)\}+2] = 20$
⇒ $13-[10-{16-\frac{8}{k-2}}+2] = 20$
⇒ $13-[10-\{\frac{16k-32+8}{k-2}\}+2] = 20$
⇒ $13-[\frac{10k-20-16k+32-8+2k-4}{k-2}]=20$
⇒ $13-[\frac{-4k}{k–2}] = 20$
⇒ $13+\frac{4k}{k–2} = 20$
⇒ $13k-26+4k = 20k-40$
⇒ $3k = 14$
⇒ $k = \frac{14}{3}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{14}{3}$.

Question : The number of solid spheres, each of diameter 6 cm, that could be moulded to form a solid metal cylinder of height 90 cm and diameter 4 cm is:

Option 1: 10

Option 2: 14

Option 3: 16

Option 4: 13

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 10


Solution : We have,
The radius of the sphere, $R$ = 3 cm
The radius of the cylinder, $r$ = 2 cm
The height of the cylinder, $h$ = 90 cm
Now, the required number of solid spheres
= $\frac{\text{ Volume of the cylinder}}{\text{Volume of the Sphere}}$
