Question : The ratio of the volume of the two cones is 2 : 3, and the ratio of the radii of their bases is 1 : 2. The ratio of their heights is:
Option 1: 3 : 8
Option 2: 8 : 3
Option 3: 4 : 3
Option 4: 3 : 4
Correct Answer: 8 : 3
Solution : Let their radii be $x$ and $2x$ and their heights be $h$ and $H$ respectively. According to the question, $\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_1^2 h_1}{\frac{1}{3}\pi r_2^2 h_2}$ ⇒ $\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{r_1^2 h_1}{r_2^2 h_2}$ ⇒ $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x^2 h}{(2x)^2 H}$ ⇒ $\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x^2 h}{4x^2 H}$ ⇒ $\frac{h}{H}=\frac{8}{3}$ Hence, the correct answer is
Question : Direction: If Ramya's rank is 22nd out of 46 students, what is her rank from the last?

Question : Directions: If A means add, B means divide, C means multiply and D means subtract, then 180 B 36 C 5 A 8 D 32 = ?
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 3
Option 3: 1
Option 4: 2
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : Given: 180 B 36 C 5 A 8 D 32 = ?
On replacing the letters with mathematical signs, the equation becomes – = 180 ÷ 36 × 5 + 8 – 32 = 5 × 5 + 8 – 32 = 25 + 8
Question : The product of the digits of a two-digit number is 24. If we add 45 to the number, the new number obtained is a number formed by interchanging the digits. What is the original number?
Option 1: 54
Option 2: 83
Option 3: 38
Option 4: 45
Correct Answer: 38
Solution : Let the unit digit of the number be $y$ and the tens digit be $x$. Number $= 10x$ + $y$ Product of digits $= x$ × $y = 24$ ---------------(i) According to the question, $10x+y+45 = 10y + x$ ⇒ $9y-9x= 45$ ⇒ $y-x =

Question : When P is subtracted from each of the numbers 8, 6, 2 and 9, the numbers so obtained in this order are in proportion. What is the mean proportional between (3P - 6) and (9P - 4)?
Option 2: 28
Option 3: 29
Correct Answer: 28
Solution : According to the question, $(8-P)(9-P)=(6-P)(2-P)$ $⇒72+P^2-17P=12+P^2-8P$ $⇒9P=60$ $⇒P=\frac{20}{3}$ Mean proportion between $(3P - 6)$ and $(9P - 4)$ = $\sqrt{(3P - 6)(9P - 4)}$ = $\sqrt{(3×\frac{20}{3} - 6)(9×\frac{20}{3} - 4)}$ = $\sqrt{14×56}$ = $28$ Hence, the correct answer is 28.
Question : $\triangle$ABC is similar to $\triangle$PQR. If the ratio of the perimeter of $\triangle$ABC and the perimeter of $\triangle$PQR is 24 : 16 and PQ = 4.8 cm, then the length (in cm) of AB is:
Option 1: 8.6
Option 2: 7.2
Option 3: 4.6
Option 4: 2.8
Correct Answer: 7.2
Solution :
Given: $\triangle$ABC is similar to $\triangle$PQR. The ratio of the perimeter of $\triangle$ABC and the perimeter of $\triangle$PQR is 24 : 16 and PQ = 4.8 cm. Since, $\triangle$ABC is similar to $\triangle$PQR, We know, The ratio of similar sides of the two similar triangles
