Asked In SSC

ANS

60%
let there be 100 visitors = 25p *100 = 2500 is orignal revenue.
20% discount price of each cost = 25*(20/100)=5. So new price=20 p
new revenue = 1.28 * 2500 = 3200
new visitors = 3200/20 = 160
increase = 60 %

10. if 20+15=24 and 64+13=42 then 11+28=?

Asked In SSC

ANS:

i think ... in place of 64 it would be 62 ..
20 +15=24 ( 2-0 =2 , 5-1= 4 )
62+13=42 ( 6-2=4 ,3-1=2)
then 11+28 = 06

12. x^2+y^2+2x+1=0 then the value of x^31+X^35=????

Solution

x^2+y^2+2x+1=0
=> (x+1)^2 + y^2 = 0
now sum of two perfect square numbers is zero means both number should be zero
means x = -1 and y = 0
so x^31+x^35= (-1)^31 +(-1)^35 = -1-1 = -2

13. One Word Substitute

14. LCM of two prime numbers x and y(x>y)is 161.The value 3y-x is :
(a)-2
(b)-1
(c)1
(d)2

Asked In SSC

ANS:
Answer: A) -2

Explanation:

H. C. F of two prime numbers is 1. Product of numbers = 1 x 161 = 161.

Let the numbers be a and b . Then , ab= 161.

Now, co-primes with product 161 are (1, 161) and (7, 23).

Since x and y are prime numbers and x >y , we have x=23 and y=7.

therefore 3y-x = (3 x 7)-23 = -2

15. A river 3 m deep and 40 m wide is flow at the rate of 2 km per hour. How much water(in liters) will fall into the river in 1 minute?

Asked In SSC

ANS:
given
depth=3m.
width=40m.
flowing rate that is, length=2km/hr=200/6m/minute.
therefore volume of water that flows into the sea in 1 minute=3(40)(200/6)
=4000m
=4000(1000)litres.
=4000Kilo litres.

16. Three men A,B,C working together can do a job in 6hours less time than A alone, in 1 hour less time than B aloneand in one half the time needed by c when working alone.Then A and B together can do the job in ?

Asked In SSC

ANS:

1/a+1/b+1/c=1/x
1/(x+6)+1/(x+1)+1/(2x)=1/x
(x+1)(2x)+(x+6)(2x)+(x+1)(x+6)/(x+1)(x+6)(2x)=1/x
5x^2+21x+6/2x^3+14x^2+12x=1/x
5x^3+21x^2+6x=2x^3+14x^2+12x
3x^3+7x^2-6x=0
x(3x^2+7x-3)=0
x(3x^2+9x-2x-6)=0
x(3x(x+3)-2(x+3))=0
x(3x-2)(x+3)=0
therefore x=0
x=2/3
x=-3
x=2/3 is considered
1/t=1/a+1/b=1/x-1/c=1/2x=3/4
t=4/3

17. A sum of Rs. 12,000 deposited at compound interest becomes double after 5 years. After 20 years, it will become

Asked In SSC

ANS:
Answer : [D] 192000
Explanation :

12000 (1 + R/100)^5 = 24000
(1+R/100)^5 =2
[ (1+R/100)^5 ]^4 =2^4
(1+R/100)^20 =16
p (1+R/100)^20 =16 p
12000 (1+R/100)^20 =16*12000
=192000
