Solutions
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol.
∛a+∛b=∛c
=∛a+∛b-∛c=0 …(i)
If a + b + c = 0
Then a^3+b^3+c^3=3abc
From equation (i)
a+b-c=-3∛abc
Cubing both side
(a+b-c)^3=-27 abc
(a+b-c)^3+27abc=0
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. 20% yearly = 10% half year
=11/10
13310/10000=(11/10)^n
(11/10)^3=(11/10)^n
n = 3 years
=1 1/2 year
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol.
Let the C.P. of each article be Rs. x
Then, C.P. of 16 articles = Rs. 16x
S.P. of 15 articles = 135% of Rs. 16x
=Rs.(135/100)×16x=Rs.108x/5
S.P. of 1 article = Rs. (108x/5)×(1/15) = Rs. 36x/25
If S.P. is Rs. 96, M.P. = Rs. 100
If S.P. is Rs. =36x/25, M.P. = Rs. (100/96)×(36x/25)
= Rs. 3x/2
Increase in M.P. over C.P.
=((3x/2)-x)/x)×100
= 50%
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol.
Let the cost of mobile phone = 100
So, P = 112 Rs.
Q = 96 Rs.
Required ratio Q : P = 96 : 112 = 6 : 7
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol.
According to the formula,
Required distance = ab(t1+t2 )/(b – a)
Where a = 5/2, b = 7/2, t1 = 6, t2 = 6
∴ Required distance = ( (5/2) × (7/2) x (12/60) ) / (7/2) – ( 5/2)
(35/4) x (1/5)
=7/4 km
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol.
Time taken by A to run 1 km = 290 seconds.
Time taken by B to run 1 km = 300 seconds.
A can give B a start of (300 – 290) sec, i.e. 10 sec.
In 300 sec, B runs 1000 m.
In 10 sec, B runs (1000/300) × 10 m = 100/3 m
∴ A can give B a start of 100/3 m.
