Question : If Sita and Gita can do a job together in 4 days and Sita alone can do the job in 6 days, in how many days can Gita do the job alone?
Option 1: 8
Option 2: 10
Option 3: 12
Option 4: 14
Correct Answer: 12
Solution : Given: Sita and Gita can do a job together in 4 days. Sita and Gita's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{4}$ Sita alone can do the job in 6 days. Sita's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{6}$ So, Gita's 1 day's work = $\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{12}$ So, Gita alone
Question : If $\sin \theta+\cos \theta = p$ and $\sec \theta + \operatorname{cosec} \theta = q$, then the value of $q \times (p^2-1)$ is:
Option 1: $1$
Option 2: $p$
Option 3: $2p$
Option 4: $2$
Correct Answer: $2p$
Solution : Given: $\sin \theta+\cos \theta = p$ and $\sec \theta + \operatorname{cosec} \theta = q$ Now, $q \times (p^2-1)$ Putting the values, we get: = $(\sec \theta + \operatorname{cosec} \theta) [(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^2 - 1]$ = $(\frac{1}{\cos \theta} + \frac{1}{\sin \theta})(2 \sin \theta \cos\theta)$ = $(\frac{\sin\theta
Question : Mohan completed a certain journey by car. If he covered 30% of the distance at 90 km/hr, 45% of the distance at 135 km/hr, and the remaining distance at 75 km/hr. His average speed (in km/hr) for the entire journey is:
Option 1: 100
Option 2: 90
Option 3: 105
Option 4: 95
Correct Answer: 100
Solution : Let the total distance travelled by Mohan = $100x$ km 30% of distance = $30x$ km 45% of distance = $45x$ km Remaining distance = ($100x-30x-45x$) = $25x$ km According to the question, $\therefore$ Total time taken = $\frac{30x}{90}$+$\frac{45x}{135}$+$\frac{25x}{75}$ = $\frac{x}{3}$+$\frac{x}{3}$+$\frac{x}{3}$ = $\frac{3x}{3}$ = $x$
