Answer

1. ANSWER : C 


 Explanation -  Number of students who passed half-yearly exams in the school 


= (Number of students passed in half-yearly but failed in annual exams) + (Number of students passed in both exams)
= (6 + 17 + 9 + 15) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)

= 288.

Also, Number of students who passed annual exams in the school

= (Number of students failed in half-yearly but passed in annual exams) + (Number of students passed in both exams)

= (14 + 12 + 8 + 13) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)

= 288.

Since, the number of students passed in half-yearly = the number of students passed in annual exams. Therefore, it can be inferred that both the examinations had almost the same difficulty level.

Thus Statements (a), (b) and (d) are false and Statement (c) is true. 


 


 2. ANSWER : D 


 Explanation -  Since the classification of the students on the basis of their results and sections form independent groups, so the total number of students in the class: 


 = (28 + 23 + 17 + 27 + 14 + 12 + 8 + 13 + 6 + 17 + 9 + 15 + 64 + 55 + 46 + 76)

= 430. 


 


 3. ANSWER : D 


 ExplanationPass percentages in at least one of the two examinations for different sections are:


  For Section A = 14+6+6428+14+6+64×100 = 84112×100% = 75%


 For Section B =12+17+5523+12+17+55×100  % = 78.5%


 For Section C = 8+9+4617+8+9+46×100%= 78.75%


 For Section D = 13+15+7627+13+15+76×100%= 79.39%


  Clearly ,the pass percentage is maximum for Section D 


 


  


 4. ANSWER : A


 Explanation - Total number of students passed in annual exams in a section 


= [ (No. of students failed in half-yearly but passed in annual exams) + (No. of students passed in both exams) ] in that section


 Success rate in annual exams in Section A= 14+64112 × 100% = 69.64%


 Similarly, success rate in annual exams in:


 Section B = 12+55107×100% =  62.62% 


 Section C = 8+4680×100% = 67.5% 


 Section D = 89131×100% = 67.94% 


 Clearly, the success rate in annual examination is maximum for Section A. 


 


  


 5. ANSWER : D 


 Explanation - Total number of failures in half-yearly exams in a section


  = [ (Number of students failed in both exams) + (Number of students failed in half-yearly but passed in Annual exams) ] in that section


 Failure rate in half-yearly exams in Section A %= 37.5 %


 Similarly, failure rate in half-yearly exams in:


  Section B = 32.71%


  Section C = 31.25%


  Section D = 30.53%


  Clearly, the failure rate is minimum for Section D.


 = (Number of students passed in half-yearly but failed in annual exams) + (Number of students passed in both exams)


 = (6 + 17 + 9 + 15) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)


 = 288.


 


 Also, Number of students who passed annual exams in the school


 = (Number of students failed in half-yearly but passed in annual exams) + (Number of students passed in both exams)


 = (14 + 12 + 8 + 13) + (64 + 55 + 46 + 76)


 = 288.


 


Since, the number of students passed in half-yearly = the number of students passed in annual exams. Therefore, it can be inferred that both the examinations had almost the same difficulty level.


Thus Statements (a), (b) and (d) are false and Statement (c) is true.

Q:

What is the common ratio of the following geometric sequence?

4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,...

A) 0.5 B) -1
C) 1.5 D) -0.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 0.5

Explanation:

In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

 

Herein the given sequence, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,...

Common Ratio r = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5/1 = 0.25/0.5 = 0.125/0.25 == 0.5.

Q:

3 men, 4 women and 6 children can complete a work in 7 days. A woman does double the work a man does and a child does half the work a man does. How many women alone can complete this work in 7 days  ?

A) 6 B) 9
C) 5 D) 7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 7

Explanation:

Let 1 woman's 1 day work = x.

Then, 1 man's 1 day work = x/2 and 1 child's 1 day work  x/4.

So, (3x/2 + 4x + + 6x/4) = 1/7

28x/4 = 1/7 => x = 1/49

1 woman alone can complete the work in 49 days.

So, to complete the work in 7 days, number of women required = 49/7 = 7.

Q:

Ram sell his goods 25% cheaper than Shyam and 25% dearer than Bram. How much % is Bram's good cheaper than Shyam ?

A) 60% B) 40%
C) 50% D) 30%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40%

Explanation:

Lets say shyam sells at 100,

 

Since Ram sells 25% cheaper than Shyam,

 

Therefor Ram sells at less than 25% of100 or 75 rs.

 

Ram sells 25% dearer than Bram or 125% of Ram =100% of Bram or

 

125% of x (say x price of bram )=75rs.
or 100% of x =60rs.
hence price of bram is 60rs.

 

now Bram's good is cheaper than Shyam's as (100-60)x100/100% or 40%.

 

Hence Brams Good is 40% cheaper than that of Shyam's good.
