Question : If $A: B: C=2: 3: 5$, then what is the value of $(A+B):(B+C):(C+A)$?
Option 1: 8 : 15 : 14
Option 2: 5 : 8 : 7
Option 3: 6 : 9 : 14
Option 4: 9 : 10 : 12
Correct Answer: 5 : 8 : 7
Solution : Given: $A: B: C=2: 3: 5$ Let $A=2K,B=3K$, and $C=5K$ The value of $(A+B):(B+C):(C+A)$ $=(2K+3K) : (3K+5K) : (5K+2K)$ $=5K : 8K : 7K=5:8:7$ Hence, the correct answer is 5 : 8 : 7.
Question : A car covers 3 successive 2 km stretches at speeds of 20 km/hr, 40 km hr, and 60 km/hr respectively. Its average speed is:
Option 1: 38.56 km/hr
Option 2: 42.12 km/hr
Option 3: 32.72 km/hr
Option 4: 40.50 km/hr
Correct Answer: 32.72 km/hr
Solution : According to the question First stretch at 20 km/hr: ⇒ Time t1 = $\frac{2 km}{20km/hr}=\frac{1}{10}$ hr Second stretch 40 km/hr: ⇒ Time t2 = $\frac{2km}{40km/hr}=\frac{1}{20}$ hr Third stretch 60km/hr: ⇒ Time t3 = $\frac{2km}{60km/hr}=\frac{1}{30}$ hr ⇒ Total time = $\frac{1}{10} +
Question : The value of 3 × [{(11 – 3) ÷ ($\frac{1}{2}$) of 8} + 15 ÷ 3] is:
Option 1: 15

Option 3: 21
Option 4: 30
Correct Answer: 21
Solution : Given: 3 × [{(11 – 3) ÷ ($\frac{1}{2}$) of 8} + 15 ÷ 3] = $3 × [\left \{8÷ 4 \right \}+ 15 ÷ 3]$ = $3 × [{2} + \frac{15}{3}]$ = $3 × [2 + 5]$ = $3 × 7$ = $21$ Hence, the

Question : What will be the curved surface area of a cylinder having a radius of 20 cm and a height of 34 cm?(use $\pi$ = 3.14)
Option 1: 3245.7 cm2
Option 2: 4328.98 cm2
Option 3: 4270.4 cm2
Option 4: 4320.6 cm2
Correct Answer: 4270.4 cm2
