350
Let the number of
Girls be X
Then number of
boys = (600-x)

A 3500/- b
3800/- c 3600/= d 3400/-
Let cost price (C.P.) = 100.
Profit = 30 %. Selling price (S.P.) = (100 + 30) = 130. If selling price (S.P.) is 130, then cost price (C.P.) is 100. If selling price (S.P.) is 1, then cost price (C.P.) is $ (100/130). If selling price (S.P.) is 4550, then cost price (C.P.) is (100 /130 × 4550) = 3500 Answer A 3500/- |

d None of these
Let the no

Total tigers = 858-x
Total legs =
2x=4(858-x)=1746
=2x+3432-4x=1746
2x=3432-1746=1686
X=1686/2=843

12 A hemispherical bowl
of internal radius

a liquid , The
liquid is to be
filled into cylindrical
shaped small bottles
of diameter 3
cm and height
4 cm .
How many bottles
will be needed
to empty the
bowl
A 45 b 54
c 35
d 48
Radius of hemisphere= 9 cm
volume of hemisphere= 2/3 π r3
= 2/3 x9x9x9 π
= 486 π
radius of cylindrical shaped bottles= 3/2 cm
height= 4 cm
volume of bottles= π r2h
= 3/2x 3/2 x 4 π
=9 π
now,
Reaquired no. of bottles= volume of hemisphere/ volume of bottles
. =486 π/9π
. =54
Hence, no. of bottles required to empty the bowl = 54

increased by 300 %
the resultant fraction
is 6/11 . What
was the original fraction .
A 5/11 b
7/11 . c 8/13
d 8/11
If numerator increase
200 % then Numerator will be x+2x =3x
and denominator increased by 300% means denominator will be y = 3y =4y new fraction will be 3x/4y =6/66 (g
3x/4y = 6/11
dividing numerator by 3 and denominator by 4 both side we will get x/y =6/3/11/4 x/y=6x4/11x3 x/y =24/33 x/y =8/11 Answer d 8/11 |
