MCQ: Problem Solving - Question 5

Which two signs need to be interchanged to make the following equation correct?
5 × 4 + 12 - 3 ÷ 6 = 18.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Problem Solving - Question 5

The given equation: 5 × 4 + 12 - 3 ÷ 6 = 18
On interchanging + and -, we get:
5 × 4 - 12 + 3 ÷ 6 = 18
⇒ 8 + 0.5 = 18 (false)
On interchanging ÷ and ×, we get:
5 ÷ 4 + 12 - 3 × 6 = 18
⇒ 1.25 - 6 = 18 (false)
On interchanging × and +, we get:
5 + 4 × 12 - 3 ÷ 6 = 18
⇒ 5 + 48 - 0.5 = 18 (false)
On interchanging ÷ and -, we get:
5 × 4 + 12 ÷ 3 - 6 = 18
⇒ 20 + 4 - 6 = 18
⇒ 18 = 18

Hence, we need to interchange ÷ and - to make the situation correct.

MCQ: Problem Solving - Question 9

Aravind and Biswanath start at the same time from their hostel and go to the ground with speeds of 30 km/h and 60 km/h, respectively. If Aravind takes 20 minutes longer than Biswanath to reach the ground, then find the distance between their hostel and the ground.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Problem Solving - Question 9

The speed of Aravind = 30 kmph
The speed of Biswanath = 60 kmph
Let the time take by Biswanath = X hours
Implies, the time taken by Aravind = X hours + 20 minutes = (X + 1/3) hours
Now,
Speed × Time = Distance
30 × (X + 1/3) = 60 × X 
⇒ 30X + 10 = 60X
⇒ 30X = 10
⇒ X = 1/3 hours = 20 minutes
Distance = 1/3 × 60 = 20 km

Hence, the distance between the hostel and the ground is 20 km.

MCQ: Problem Solving - Question 10

In a fruit market, watermelon costs Rs 25 per fruit, mango costs Rs 20 per fruit, an apple costs Rs 15 per fruit, and orange costs Rs 10 per fruit. If Indu bought 2 watermelons, 5 mangoes, 3 apples, and some oranges and paid a bill of Rs 285, what was the number of oranges purchased by her?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Problem Solving - Question 10

Given:

Watermelon costs = Rs. 25 per fruit

Mango costs =  Rs. 20 per fruit

An apple costs = Rs. 15 per fruit

Orange costs = Rs. 10 per fruit

If Indu bought 2 watermelons, 5 mangoes, 3 apples, and some oranges and paid a bill of Rs 285.

Let, Indu buy x orange.

∴ 2 × 25 + 5 × 20 + 3 × 15 + x × 10 = 285
⇒ 50 + 100 + 45 + 10x = 285
⇒ 10x = 285 − 195
⇒ 10x = 90

⇒ x = Rs. 9 per fruit

Hence, the correct answer is "9".
