Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 1

Which of the following cannot be the factor of both ab and ba if ab is a two-digit number and a, b ≠ 0 and a ≠ b?

Detailed Solution for Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 1

For a number to be divisible by 5, it should have either 0 or 5 at its unit's place.
But in the problem, it is given that the number is a two-digit number and the digits are unequal as well as not equal to 0.
Let us take another number instead of taking 0, i.e. 2 and 5.
Now, two-digit numbers by using 2 and 5 are 25 and 52, from which 25 is divisible by 5, but 52 is not.
Therefore, 5 cannot be the factor of both ab and ba.

Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 4

Directions: A solid consists of a cuboid having length and breadth each equal to 'l' m and the height of the cuboid is 3.14l m. This cuboid is surmounted on a cubical solid of side 'l' m.

What would be volume of the whole solid?

Detailed Solution for Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 4

We have sides of cuboid :-
length = l and breadth = l and
height = 3.14 l
We know, volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height
Volume = l × l × 3.14l
Volume = 3.14 l3 m3.
Now, to find the volume of the solid on which the cuboid is surmounted:
Volume of cube = (side)3
Volume = l3
Therefore, volume of the whole solid = Vol. Of cuboid + Vol. Of cube
= 3.14 l3 + l3
= 4.14 l3m3

Height of cylinder = 15 m
Radius of cylinder = 3 m
Curved surface area = 2πrh = 90π
Radius of cone = 3 m
Height of cone = 4 m (19 – 15 = 4 m)
Slant height, ℓ = = 5
Curved surface area of cone = πrℓ = 15π
Curved surface area of cone + cylinder
90π + 15π = 105π
= 105 x (22/7) = 330 m2

Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 7
There are 350 boys in the first three standards. The ratio of the number of boys in the first standard to the number of boys in the second standard is 2 : 3, while that of the number of boys in the second standard to the number of boys in the third standard is 4 : 5. What is the total number of boys in the first and the third standards?
Detailed Solution for Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 7
The ratio of number of boys in the first standard to the number of boys in the second standard = 2 : 3 = 8 : 12
The ratio of number of boys in the second standard to the number of boys in the third standard = 4 : 5 = 12 : 15
Now,
Ratio of first to second to third standard = 8 : 12 : 15
Consider that the total number of boys in first, second, and third standard is 8x, 12x and 15x, respectively.
Now, 8x + 12x + 15x = 350
or, 35x = 350
or, x = 10
Hence, the total number of boys in the first and the third standards = 8x + 15x = 23x = 230
Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 8
On dividing x3 + 2x2 - 4x + 7 by x + 2, the quotient and the remainder are x2 - a and 15, respectively. What is the value of a?
Detailed Solution for Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 8
p(x) = x3 + 2x2 - 4x + 7
g(x) = x + 2
By division algorithm,
p(x) = g(x)q(x) + r(x)
x3 + 2x2 - 4x + 7 = (x + 2)(x2 - a) + 15
Or, x3 + 2x2 - 4x + 7 - 15 = (x + 2)(x2 - a)
Or, x3 + 2x2 - 4x - 8 = (x + 2)(x2 - a)
Or, x2(x + 2) - 4(x + 2) = (x + 2)(x2 - a)
Or, (x2 - 4)(x + 2) = (x + 2)(x2 - a)
Or, (x2 - 4) = (x2 - a)
Or, x2 - x2 = -a + 4
Or, a = 4
Hence, (2) is the correct option.

If (y - 1) is the mean proportional between 2(y - 1) and (y - 9), what is the value of y?
Detailed Solution for Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 10
(y - 1) is the mean proportional between 2(y - 1) and (y - 9).
So,
2(y - 1)(y - 9) = (y - 1)2
(y - 1)(2(y - 9)) = (y - 1)2
2(y - 9) = (y - 1) (y - 1 ≠ 0)
2y - 18 = y - 1
y = -1 + 18
y = 17

Detailed Solution for Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 13
Let the number of 50 cent coins be n.
Thus, number of 1 dollar coins = n + 18
Now, 50n + (n + 18) × 100 = 21,600
Or, n = 132
Hence, answer option 3 is correct.
Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 14

Directions: There is a circular field with radius 6.9 cm and length of its chord is 9.75 cm.

Find the appoximate angle that the chord subtends at centre of the circle.

Detailed Solution for Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 14

According to the question:
θ = angle between the two radius and chord
chord length = 2 × r× sin (θ/2)
9.75= 2 × 6.9 × sin (θ/2)
0.7065 = sin (θ/2)
1/√2 = sin (θ/2)
θ/2 = 45°
θ = 90°

Hence, option 2 is correct.

Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 15

The interior angles of a convex polygon are in AP. The smallest angle is 120° and the common difference is 5°. Find the number of sides of the polygon.

Detailed Solution for Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 15

Let n be the number of sides of the polygon.
The sum of its interior angles is given by (n - 2) × 180°. … (i)
Hence, the interior angles form an AP with first term 'a' = 120° and common difference = 5°.
Sum of n terms of AP = Sn = n/2[2 × 120° + (n - 1) × 5°) = n/2[240° + (n - 1)5°] … (ii)
Equating (i) and (ii), we get
(n - 2) × 180° = n/2[240° + (n - 1)5°]
⇒ (n - 2) × 360 = n(240 + 5n - 5) = n(235 + 5n)
⇒ 360n - 720 = 235n + 5n2
⇒ 5n2 - 125n + 720 = 0
Or n2 - 25n + 144 = 0 or (n - 16)(n - 9) = 0
⇒ n = 16 or n = 9
But when n = 16, last angle = Tn = a + (n - 1)d = 120° + 15(5°) = 120° + 75°
= 195°, which is not possible [∵ Angle > 180°]
Hence, n = 9.
Number of sides of the polygon = 9

Detailed Solution for Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 18

Let the sum be Rs. P.
The first sum is recovered after x years.
The second is recovered after (x + (1/2))years.
As the amount in each case is the same, the interest received is also the same.
Thus, =
9x = 8x + 4
x = 4 years
So, in the first case, it is recovered after 4 years.
In the second case, it is recovered after 4 + 1/2 = 4(1/2) years.

Detailed Solution for Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 20

Let the cost price of one chair be Rs. x and the cost price of one stool be Rs. y.
Then, A.T.Q.
4x + 9y = 1340 ... (i)
Also, 4(10% of x) + 9(20% of y) = 188

... (ii)
On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
9y = 1880 - 1340
Or, 9y = 540
Or, y = 60
On substituting y = 60 in Eq. (i), we get
4x + 540 = 1340
Or, 4x = 1340 - 540
Or, 4x = 800
Or, 4x = 800
Thus, Ram had to pay Rs. 800 for the chairs.

Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 30

A spherical ball of radius 4 cm is to be divided into eight equal pieces by cutting it along the axes, as shown below. Find the surface area of each piece (in cm2).

Detailed Solution for Test: Elementary Mathematics - 4 - Question 30

The ball, after being cut, will have eight parts, each with the same volume and the same surface area.
The ball will look somewhat like figure (1), when seen from the top before cutting.
After cutting, it will look something like figure (2), as shown below:

Now, the surface area of each piece = Area (ACBD) + 2 (Area CODBC).
The darkened surface is nothing but the arc AB from side glance, which means its surface area is one-eighth the area of the sphere, i.e. (1/8) × 4 π r2 = (1/2)πr2
Now, CODBC can be seen as a semicircle with radius 4 cm.
Therefore, 2 (Area CODB) = 2[1/2]πr2 = πr2
Surface area (in cm2) of each piece = (1/2)πr2 + πr2 = (3/2)π42 = 24π
