Q 6- A bag contains 50 P, 25 P and 10 P coins in the ratio 5: 9: 4, amounting to Rs. 206. Find the number of coins of each type respectively.

A.360, 160, 200                           B. 160, 360, 200

C. 200, 360,160                            D. 200,160,300

Ans: C) 200, 360,160

Explanation:

let ratio be x.

Hence no. of coins be 5x ,9x , 4x respectively

Now given total amount = Rs.206

=> (.50)(5x) + (.25)(9x) + (.10)(4x) = 206

we get x = 40

=> No. of 50p coins = 200

=> No. of 25p coins = 360

=> No. of 10p coins = 160

Q 10 – 3125, 625, ________, 25, 5, 1

A.120o                          B. 130o

C. 125o                          D. 135o

Ans: B. 130o

Explanation:

A.2500                       B. 2700

C. 2900                       D. 3100

Ans: B. 2700

Explanation:

Total number of votes = 7500

Given that 20% of Percentage votes were invalid

Total valid votes = $\inline \fn_jvn 7500\times \frac{80}{100}$

1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes.

Hence the 2nd candidate should have got 45% of the total valid votes

=> Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x $\inline \fn_jvn \frac{45}{100}$

$\inline \fn_jvn =7500\times \frac{80}{100}\times \frac{45}{100}=2700$

Q 20 – What was the day on 15th august 1947 ?

A.Friday                         B. Saturday

C. Sunday                        D. Thursday

Ans:   A.Friday

Explanation:

15 Aug, 1947 = (1946 years + Period from 1.1.1947 to 15.8.1947)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 300 years = 1

46 years = (35 ordinary years + 11 leap years) = (35 x 1 + 11 x 2)= 57 (8 weeks + 1 day) = 1 odd day

Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May. Jun. Jul. Aug

(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 1 ) = 213 days = (30 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 1 + 3) = 5 odd days.

Given day is Friday.
