69. The curved surface area of a right circular cylinder of height 25 cm is 3300 cm2. Find the diameter of the base of the cylinder.

A. 12 cm

B. 23 cm

C. 21 cm

D. 42 cm

E. None of these

Solution

Given:

Curved surface area of cylinder = 3300 cm2

Height of cylinder = 25 cm

Formula used:

Curved surface area of cylinder = 2π × radius × height

Calculation:

2 × (22/7) × radius × 25 = 3300

⇒ Radius = (3300 ×7)/(2 × 22 × 25)

⇒ Radius = 21 cm∴ Diameter = 2 × 21 = 42 cm


70. Salman goes A to B with a speed of 40 km/h, and returns to A from B with a speed of 60 km/h. find the average speed of Salman during the whole journey (in km/h) and in (m/s).

A. 48 km/h or 13.33 m/s

B. 56 km/h or 15.55 m/s

C. 50 km/h or 13.88 m/s

D. None of the above

E. 54 Km/h or 15 m/s

Solution

Given:

Speed of Salman going from A to B is 40 km/h

Speed of Salman going from B to A is 60 km/h

Formula used:

Conversion of speed from km/h to m/s = speed (km/h) × (5/18)

Calculation:

Let the distance between A to B be 120 kms.

TimetakenbySalmantotravelfromAtoB=120/40=3hoursurs

TimetakenbySalmantotravelfromBtoA=120/60=2hours

Total distance covered from A to B and back to A = 120 +120 = 240 kms.

Total time taken = 3 + 2 = 5 hours

AverageSpeed=240/5=48

Average speed of Salman is 48 km/h

Speedinmeterpersecond=48×5/18=13.33meterpersecond

∴ Average Speed of Salman during whole journey is 48 km/h or 13.33 m/s.

Shortcut Trick

AverageSpeed=2×a×b/a+b

Where ‘a’ is the speed from one side and ‘b’ is the speed of return journey

Averagespeed=2×40×60/40+60=48kilometerperhour


71. A shopkeeper increased 50% price of its cost price and give 20% discount. After that he gain Rs. 660 then find the difference between profit and discount.

A. 220

B. 330

C. 440

D. 550

E. None of these

Solution

Given:

M.R.P = 50% Increase to C.P

Discount = 20%

Gain = Rs. 660

Formula Used:

Cost price × (100 + Profit %)/100 = Selling price

Also, Cost price × (100 – Loss %)/100 = Selling price

(M.R.P – S.P)/M.R.P × 100 = Discount %

Calculation:            

If C.P of a product = 100x

then, M.R.P = 100x(150/100)

⇒ 150x

Discount = 20%

⇒ 150x × 20/100 = 30x

S.P = 150x – 30x

⇒ 120x

Gain = S.P – C.P

⇒ 120x – 100x = 660

⇒ 20x = 660

⇒ x = 660/20

⇒ x = 33

Value of discount = 30x

⇒ 30 × 33

⇒ 990

Difference between discount and profit = 990 – 660

⇒ 330

 The difference between discount and profit is Rs. 330.

Hence, correct answer is option 5.


77. Two trains running in opposite directions cross a pole in 43 seconds and 27 seconds respectively and cross each other in 37 seconds. What is the ratio of their speeds?

A. 5 : 3

B. 4 : 5

C. 6 : 1

D. 7 : 5

E. None of the above

Solution

Given:

Two trains running in opposite directions cross a pole in 43 seconds and 27 seconds respectively.

Time taken to cross each other = 37 sec

Concept:

Relative speed.

Calculation:

Let the speed of the trains be x and y m/s (meters per second) respectively.

∴ Length of first train = 43x and length of second train = 27y meters

Since the trains run in opposite directions, their relative speed = (x + y) m/s

∴ (43x + 27y)/(x + y) = 37

⇒ 43x + 27y = 37x + 37y

⇒ 6x = 10y

∴ Required Ratio

⇒ 10 : 6

⇒ 5 : 3

The ratio of their speeds is 5 : 3.

A. 1 : 3

B. 3 : 8

C. 2 : 1

D. 1 : 4

E. Cannot be determined

Solution

Calculation:

The ratio of area and perimeter of rectangle = ab/2(a + b) (where a and b are sides of the rectangle)

The ratio of area and perimeter of rectangle =  ab/2(a + b) = 1/3

ab/2(a + b) = 1/3

3ab = 2a + 2b

∴Ratio cannot be determined

80. A boat moves downstream at the rate of 1 km in 3(1/3) minutes and upstream at the rate of 10km an hour. What is the speed of the boat in still water(in km/hr)?

A. 10

B. 12

C. 14

D. 16

E. 18

Solution

Given:-

Time for 1 km downstream distance = 3(1/3) minutes

Time for 10 km upstream = 1 hour.

Formula:-

Speed = Distance/Time

Downstream speed, D = u + v

Upstream speed, U = u – v

Speed of boat in still water = ½ (U + D)

u and v are boat and stream speeds.

Calculation:-

Time in hour = 3(1/3)/60 = 1/18

Downstream speed = 1/(1/18) = 18 km/hr

Upstream speed = 10 km/hr

Speed of boat in still water = ½ (18 + 10) = 14 km/hr
