  • A face of the clock is divided into three parts. First part hours total is equal to the sum of the second and third part. What is the total of hours in the bigger part?

     

    Ans

     

    let x be the bigger part  y and z  are  smaller parts
    x+y+z=78 and x=y+z so sub y+z=x in x+y+z=78  we  get  2x=78
    so x=78/2=39
    Ans is 39

  • ONE RECTANGULAR PLATE WITH LENGTH 8INCHES, BREADTH 11 INCHES AND 2 INCHES THICKNESS IS THERE.WHAT IS THE LENGTH OF THE CIRCULAR ROD WITH DIAMETER 8 INCHES AND EQUAL TO VOLUME OF RECTANGULAR PLATE?

     

    Ans

     

    vol. of rect. plate= 8*11*2=176

    area of rod=(22/7)*(8/2)*(8/2)=(352/7)

    vol. of rod=area*length=vol. of plate

    so length of rod= vol of plate/area=176/(352/7)=3.5

    the formula for the sum of the first n perfect squares is
     
                            n x (n + 1) x (2n + 1)
                            ______________________
                                      6

    Ans

     

    hi,



    i think



    it can be 15 bcoz



    2x+3y+4z=15



    3x+2y+z=10



    adding



    5x+5y+5z=25



    x+y+z=5 that is for 1 orange ,1 bannana and 1 apple requires 5Rs.



    so for 3 orange ,3 bannana and 3 apple requires 15Rs.



    i.e. 3x+3y+3z=15........

  • A work is done by the people in 24 min. One of them can do this work alone in 40 min. How much time required to do the same work for the second person

     

    Ans

     

    Two people work together in 24 mins.

    So, their one day work is

    (1/A)+(1+B)=(1/24)

    One man can complete the work in 40mins

    one man's one day work (1/B)= (1/40)

    Now,

    (1/A)=(1/24)-(1/40)

    (1/A)=(1/60)

    So, A can complete the work in 60 mins.

    2x=4.5-.25=4.25

    x=4.25/2=2.125

    x=2.125
