B. Rs.11,290
C. Rs.11,289
D. Rs.11,287
E. Rs.11,291

Answer: Option C

Solution: According to the question,

P = Rs.44,375

r = 12%

t = 2 years

C.I = P({1 + \( \frac{r} {100})^t\) – 1}

C.I = 44375{(1 + \( \frac{12} {100})^2\)– 1}

C.I = 44375{( \( \frac{25 + 3} {25})^2\)– 1}

C.I = 44375{\( \frac{784 } {625}\) – 1}

C.I = 44375{\( \frac{784 – 625} {625}\)}

C.I = 44375 x \( \frac{159} {625}\)

C.I = 71 x 159 = Rs.11,289

Pipes and Cistern:

6. Pipe J can fill a tank in 14hours while pipe K alone can fill it in 28hours and pipe L can fill a tank in 42hours. Pipe J was opened and after one hour Pipe K was opened and after two hours from start of Pipe J, Pipe L was also opened. Find the time in which the cistern is just full?

A. 3\( \frac{3} {11}hours \)
B. 8\( \frac{3} {11}hours \)
C. 7\( \frac{3} {11}hours \)
D. 5\( \frac{3} {11}hours \)
E. 6\( \frac{3} {11}hours \)

Answer: Option E

Solution: According to the question

Part of cistern filled by Pipe J in first 2 hours = \( \frac{1} {14} × 2 \) = \( \frac{1} {7}\)

357x – 323x – 204

34x = 204

x = 6

Number of students in Hindi class = 19x = 19 × 6 = 114

Part of cistern filled by Pipe K in one hour = \( \frac{1} {28} \)

Part of cistern filled by Pipe K in one hour = \( \frac{1} {28}\)

Remaining to the filled = 1 – \( \frac{1} {7} \) – \( \frac{1} {28} \)

Pipe J, K and L together 1hour filled = \( \frac{1} {14} \) + \( \frac{1} {28} \) + \( \frac{1} {42} \) = \( \frac{6 + 3 + 2} {84} \)

\( \frac{23} {28} \) part of cistern is filled by pipe J, K and L \( \frac{23/28} {11/84} \)

= \( \frac{23 × 84} {28 × 11} \)

= \( \frac{69} {11} \)

= 6\( \frac{3} {11} \)hours

3. The ratio of the length and the breadth of a rectangle is 4 : 3 and the area of the rectangle is 6912 sq cm. Find the ratio of the breadth and the area of the rectangle?

1. 1 : 96
2. 1 : 48
3. 1 : 84
4. 1 : 68

Correct Answer: 1
Solution:

Let the length and the breadth of the rectangle be 4x cm and 3x respectively.
(4x)(3x) = 6912
12x² = 6912
x² = 576 = 4 * 144 = 2² * 12² (x > 0)
=> x = 2 * 12 = 24
Ratio of the breadth and the areas = 3x : 12x² = 1 : 4x = 1: 96.

4. The area of the square formed on the diagonal of a rectangle as its side is 108 1/3 % more than the area of the rectangle. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 28 units, find the difference between the sides of the rectangle?

1. 8
2. 12
3. 6
4. 2

Correct Answer: 4
Solution:

Let the sides of the rectangle be l and b respectively.
From the given data,
(√l² + b²) = (1 + 108 1/3 %)lb
=> l² + b² = (1 + 325/3 * 1/100)lb
= (1 + 13/12)lb
= 25/12 lb
=> (l2 + b2)/lb = 25/12
12(l2 + b2) = 25lb
Adding 24lb on both sides
12l² + 12b² + 24lb = 49lb
12(l² + b² + 2lb) = 49lb
but 2(l + b) = 28 => l + b = 14
12(l + b)² = 49lb
=> 12(14)² = 49lb
=> lb = 48
Since l + b = 14, l = 8 and b = 6
l – b = 8 – 6 = 2m.

5. An order was placed for the supply of a carpet whose breadth was 6 m and length was 1.44 times the breadth. What be the cost of a carpet whose length and breadth are 40% more and 25% more respectively than the first carpet. Given that the ratio of carpet is Rs. 45 per sq m?

1. Rs. 3642.40
2. Rs. 3868.80
3. Rs. 4216.20
4. Rs. 4082.40

Correct Answer: 4
Solution:

Length of the first carpet = (1.44)(6) = 8.64 cm
Area of the second carpet = 8.64(1 + 40/100) 6 (1 + 25/100)
= 51.84(1.4)(5/4) sq m = (12.96)(7) sq m
Cost of the second carpet = (45)(12.96 * 7) = 315 (13 – 0.04) = 4095 – 12.6 = Rs. 4082.40

6. The circumferences of two circles are 264 meters and 352 meters. Find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles.

1. 4192 sq m
2. 4304 sq m
3. 4312 sq m
4. 4360 sq m

Correct Answer: 3
Solution:

Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be s m and l m respectively.
2∏s = 264 and 2∏l = 352
s = 264/2∏ and l = 352/2∏
Difference between the areas = ∏l² – ∏s²
= ∏{176²/∏² – 1322/∏²}
= 176²/∏ – 132²/∏
= (176 – 132)(176 + 132)/∏
= (44)(308)/(22/7) = (2)(308)(7) = 4312 sq m

7. A cube of side one meter length is cut into small cubes of side 10 cm each. How many such small cubes can be obtained?

1. 10
2. 100

Correct Answer: 3
Solution:

Along one edge, the number of small cubes that can be cut
= 100/10 = 10
Along each edge 10 cubes can be cut. (Along length, breadth and height). Total number of small cubes that can be cut = 10 * 10 * 10 = 1000
