Question : The value of $(\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{42}+\frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90})$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{1}{10}$
Option 2: $\frac{3}{5}$
Option 3: $\frac{3}{20}$
Option 4: $\frac{7}{20}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{20}$
Solution : $=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{30}+\frac{1}{42}+\frac{1}{56}+\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90}$ $=(\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{30})+(\frac{1}{42}+\frac{1}{56})+(\frac{1}{72}+\frac{1}{90})$ $=(\frac{3+2}{60})+( \frac{4+3}{168})+( \frac{5+4}{360})$ $=(\frac{1}{12})+( \frac{1}{24})+( \frac{1}{40})$ $=\frac{10+5+3}{120}$ $=\frac{18}{120}$ $=\frac{3}{20}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{3}{20}$.
Question : Directions: What will come in the place of (?) in the following equation, if + and – are interchanged and × and ÷ are interchanged? 63 ÷ 3 + 14 × 7 – 16 = ?
Option 1: 113
Option 2: 103
Option 3: 203
Option 4: 213
Correct Answer: 203
Solution : Given: 63 ÷ 3 + 14 × 7 – 16 = ?
After interchanging + and –, × and ÷, the equation becomes – = 63 × 3 – 14 ÷ 7 + 16 = 63 × 3 – 2 + 16 = 189 –
Question : Directions: If the cost of 16 kg of wheat is Rs. 384, what is the cost of 90 kg of wheat?
Option 1: Rs. 2,016
Option 2: Rs. 2,024
Option 3: Rs. 2,610
Option 4: Rs. 2,160
Correct Answer: Rs. 2,160
Solution : Given: The cost of 16 kg of wheat = Rs. 384
According to the question, The cost of 1 kg wheat = 384 ÷ 16 = 24 Rs. Therefore, the cost of 90 kg of wheat = 90 × 24 = 2160 Rs.
So,
Question : If the ratio of the diameters of two right circular cones of equal height is 3 : 4, then the ratio of their volume will be:
Option 1: 3 : 4
Option 2: 9 : 16
Option 3: 16 : 9
Option 4: 27 : 64
Correct Answer: 9 : 16
Solution : The ratio of the diameters of two right circular cones of equal height = 3 : 4 Let diameter of 1st cone be $3x$. Diameter of 2nd cone $= 4x$ Radius of the 1st cone, $r_1 = \frac{3x}{2}$ Radius of
Question : In $\triangle \mathrm{CAB}, \angle \mathrm{CAB}=90^{\circ}$ and $\mathrm{AD} \perp \mathrm{BC}$. If $\mathrm{AC}=24 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{AB}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$. then find the value of $AD$ (in cm).
Option 1: 9.23
Option 2: 8.23
Option 3: 7.14
Option 4: 10.23
Correct Answer: 9.23
Solution : Given, In $\triangle \mathrm{CAB}, \angle \mathrm{CAB}=90^{\circ}$ and $\mathrm{AD} \perp \mathrm{BC}$. $\mathrm{AC}=24 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{AB}=10 \mathrm{~cm}$ Applying Pythagoras theorem, $BC^2=AC^2+AB^2$ ⇒ $BC^2 =24^2+10^2$ ⇒ $BC = 26$ cm Now, area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height}$ So, $\frac{1}{2}\times AC\times AB=\frac{1}{2}\times AD\times BC$ ⇒ $24\times 10 = AD
