ANSWER FOR LAST WEEK QUESTIONS
1)Answer: Option(C) 24%
Solution:
Initially the mixture contains 30% alcohol = (30/100)×20 = 6 litres of alcohol
And 70% of water = (70/100)×20 = 14 litres of water.
After adding 5 litres of water, the mixture contains (14+5) = 19 litres of water and 6 litres of alcohol.
Therefore, percentage of alcohol = (6/25)×100 = 24%
2)Answer: Option(C)876
Solution:
We will first calculate the surface area of the cube and then we will calculate the quantity of the paint required and its total cost.
Surface area = 6a² = 6×8² = 384 sq.ft
16 sq.ft is covered by 1 kg of paint. 384 sq.ft will be covered by (384/16) = 24 kg of paint.
The cost of the paint is Rs.36.50 per kg.
So the total cost of painting = 36.50×24 = Rs.876
3)Answer: Option(A) 32%
Solution:
Let the original length be X and the original breadth be Y.
So the original area = XY
So, decrease in area = X*Y – {(80X/100)*(85Y/100)}
= XY – {(17/25)XY}
= (8/25)XY
Percentage decrease in area = (decrease in area/original area)*100
= (8/25)XY*(1/XY)*100
= 32%
4)Answer: Option(B) 384
Solution:
Area of one tile = 9”×9” = 82 inches
Area of one tile in feet = (9/12)*(9/12) = 9/16 ft²
Area of the floor = L×B = 12×18 = 216 ft²
Number of tiles required to cover the floor = (Area of the floor/Area of one tile) = {216/(9/16)}
= 384 tiles
5)Answer: Option(B) 27 km/hr
Solution:
Circumference of a circle = 2πr = 4(2/7) = 30/7 m
Distance covered in 7 revolution = 7×(30/7) = 30 m
Speed of train (km/hr) = {(30/4)×60×60×(1/1000)}km/hr
= (30/4)*(18/5) = 27 km/hr.
