Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 7 - Question 19
Concept

If N is divided b/w A, B & C in the ratio a : b : c then

Share of A = [a/(a+b+c)] × N

Share of B = [b/(a+b+c)] × N

Share of C = [c/(a+b+c)] × N

Calculation:

Given ratio is ½ : ¼ : 5/16

LCM of (2, 4, 16) = 16

Multiply the given ratio with 16

⇒ 8 : 4 : 5 :: A : B : C

Greatest part = 8/(8 + 4 + 5) = 8/17

Smallest part = 4/(8 + 4 + 5) = 4/17

⇒ (4/17) × 68000 = 16000

∴ The difference between the greatest part and the smallest part is Rs. 16000.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 7 - Question 20

What is the probability of getting all heads if three coins are tossed simultaneously?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 7 - Question 20
Given:

Three coins are tossed simultaneously.

Outcome should be all heads.

Concept used:

The probability of the occurrence of an event A is given by: P(A) = n(A)/N, where n(A) is the number of ways of occurring of event A and N is the total number of ways in which the event can occur.

The number of ways in which r objects can be selected out of n objects = nCr = n!/{r!(n − r)!}.

n! = 1 × 2 × … × n.

0! = 1.

Calculation:

Total number of possible outcomes in tossing 3 coins = N = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8.

Total number of ways of getting 3 heads = 3C3 = 3!/{3!(3 − 3)!} = 1.

Required probability = 1/8.

∴ The probability of getting all heads is 1/8.

In a city, 65% people are rice eaters, 40% people are wheat eaters and 25% are both rice and wheat eaters. What percent of the people are neither rice eaters nor wheat eaters?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 7 - Question 22
Given: In a city, 65% people are rice eaters, 40% people are wheat eaters and 25% are both rice and wheat eaters.

Calculation:

Using Venn Diagram we get,

Considering the universal set to be 100%.

Percentage of those who're only Rice eater = 65 - 25 = 40%

Percentage of those who're only Wheat eater = 40 - 25 = 15%

Now, the percentage of those who're neither rice eaters nor wheat eaters

⇒ 100 - 40 - 15 - 25 = 20%

∴ The percentage of people neither rice eaters nor wheat eaters is 20%.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 7 - Question 23

The length, breadth and height of a rectangular cuboid are 20 m, 5 m and 25 m respectively. If the length increases by 25%, breadth increases by 15%, and height decreases by 10%, what will be the corresponding increase or decrease in the volume of the cuboid?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 7 - Question 23
GivenThe length, breadth, and height of a rectangular cuboid are 20 m, 5 m, and 25 m respectively.

Concept used:Volume of a cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height

Final discount percentage after two successive discounts of A% and B%

Calculation:Initial volume of the cuboid = 20 × 5 × 25 = 2500 m3

Revised length = 20 + 20 × 25% = 25 m

Revised breadth = 5 + 5 × 15% = 5.75 m

Revised height = 25 - 25 × 10% = 22.5 m

Final volume = 25 × 5.75 × 22.5 = 3234.375 m3

Now, % increase

⇒ 29.375% ≈ 29.38%

∴ The corresponding increase in the volume of the cuboid is 29.38%.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 7 - Question 24

The incomes of α and β are in the ratio 9 : 4 and their expenses are in the ratio 7 : 3. If each saves ₹4,500, then what is the expenditure of β?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 7 - Question 24
let the income of α = 9x & β = 4x

Expenses of α = 7y & β = 3y

Savings of each = 4500/-

We know that-

Savings = (income – expenses) → (expenses + Savings) = income

Then

= α = 7y + 4500 = 9x ……………(i)

= β = 3y + 4500 = 4x …………(ii)

= 4 (7y + 4500) = 9 (3y + 4500)

= 28y + 18000 = 27y + 40500

= 28y -27y = 40500 – 18000

= y = 22500

so the expenditure of β = 3y

= 3 × 22500 = 67,500/-

A Cruise ship goes downstream 250 km from Kanpur to Allahabad in 5 hours. Cruise speed in still water is 40 km/hr. Find the time taken by cruise when it Returned to Kanpur at the same speed.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 7 - Question 25
Given:-

Distance between Kanpur and Allahabad = 250 km

Cruise Speed in still water(v) = 40 km/hr

Time taken when goes downstream = 5 hours

Formula used:-

Time = Distance/Speed

Calculation:-

Let the stream velocity be u,

When goes downstream,

Relative speed = v + u = 40 + u

⇒ 5 = 250/(40 + u)

⇒ 200 + 5u = 250

⇒ u = 50/5 = 10 km/hr = Speed of stream

When goes upstream,

Relative speed = v - u = 40 - 10 = 30 km/hr

∴ Time = 250/30

Time = 8.34 hours

Time is taken = 8.34 × 60 = 500 mins

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 7 - Question 28
Given:-

(a2 - b2)sinθ + 2abcosθ = a2 + b2

Formula used:-

sin(A + B) = sinA.cosB + cosA.sinB

Calculation:-

From Triangle ABC,

⇒ cosα.sinθ + sinα.cosθ = 1

⇒ sin(θ + α) = sin90o

⇒ θ + α = 90

⇒ θ = 90 - α

Taking tan both sides-

⇒ tanθ = tan(90 - α) = cotα

A seller sells a bat at a profit of 40 %. Had he bought it at 20% more and sold it for 120 more the profit will be 100 %. Find the cost price of the bat.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 7 - Question 29
Given

A seller sells a bat at 40% profit.

If he bought it at 20% more and sold it for 120 more there will be 100% profit earned.

Concept used:

SP = CP + Profit

Profit percentage = (Net profit / CP) × 100

Calculation:

Let the CP is Rs 100. So,

SP = 100 + (40/100) × 100

⇒ 100 + 40 = 140

So the new CP is

100 + (20/100) × 100

⇒100 + 20 = Rs 120

New SP = 120 + 120

⇒ Rs 240

So, as per the question

(SP - CP) = 100%

Rs (240 – 120) = 100%

⇒ 100 % = Rs 120

So the cost price of the bat is Rs 120.
