ANSWER: 34.25
Explanation:
Average runs scored by Virat Kohli in 10 matches: Total runs scored/10—(1)
Average runs scored by Virat Kohli in 6 matches: (Total runs in 6 matches)/6
=> 42 = Runs/6
=>252 runs
Using (1):
=>38.9 = Runs/10

9) The number 243 has been divided into three parts in such a way that one third of the first part, fourth of the second part and half of the third part are equal. Determine the largest part.
a. 108
b. 86
c. 74
d. 92
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 108
Explanation:
It is given that 243 has been divided into 3 numbers x y and z for instance.
Second condition mentioned in the question is:
=> x/3 = y/4 =z/2
Clearly the biggest number is y. So let us solve w.r.t. y.
=> x = 3y/4
=> x =3z/2
=> z = y/2
=> x+y+z = 243
=> y/2 + 3y/4 + y = 243
9y/4 = 243
=> 243*4/9
=> 108

10) If the money was put in for the same duration of time by A,B and C, three business partners and four times A’s capital is equal to 6 times B’s capital is equal to 10 times C’s capital. Determine that out of a total profit of Rs 4650 what is C’s share?
a. Rs 2250
b. Rs 1550
c. Rs 450
d. Rs 900
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: Rs 900
Explanation:
It is given that business partnership is independent of time in this case as all the investors have invested their money for same amount of time.
Let A’s capital be x, B’s capital be y and C’s capital be z.
=>x+y+z = 4650
=> 4x = 6y = 10z
=>C’s share is z so let us solve the question w.r.t. z
=>x = 5z/2
=>y = 5z/3
=>(5z/2)+(5z/3)+(z) = 4650
=>31z = 4650*6
=>z = 900

b. 4.5 hours
c. 1.25 hours
d. 4 7/17 hours
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 3 9/17 hours
Explanation:
It is given that Pipe A,B and C work simultaneously.
Pipe A and B are filling the tank and Pipe C is emptying it.
In 1 hour volume of tank filled by Pipe A: 1/5th
In 1 hour volume of tank filled by Pipe B: 1/6th
In 1 hour volume of tank emptied by Pipe C: 1/12th
Working together Pipe A B and C fill x volume of tank.
=>1/x = (1/5)+(1/6)-(1/12)
=>x=60/17 hours
