SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 1

What is the sum of ... up to 20 terms?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 1
Given expression: up to 20 terms

= (1 + 4 + 7 + 10 + ...) up to 20 terms

Now, 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 + ... is an AP with a = 1, n = 20 and d = 3, where the symbols have their usual notations.

Sn = (n/2)(2a + (n - 1)d)

Thus, sum = (20/2)(2 x 1 + 19 x 3) = 590

Now,

= (2/3 + 1/12 + 1/20 + ....)

= (3/4 + 1/20 + ...)

= (4/5 + 1/30 + ...)

It is to be noted that if n terms of the above series are added, the result is n/(n + 1).

Thus, the sum of 20 such terms is 20/21.

Thus, final sum = 590 + 20/21 = 12410/21

Hence, answer option 1 is correct.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 2

An equilateral triangle of side 12 cm is drawn. What is the area (in cm2) of the largest square which can be drawn inside it?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 2

Let AB be x cm.

In triangle ABN, let NB be the base.

Hence, AN = x/2 and NE or side of the square = x cm

And cos 30° = BN/AB

In triangle BFE, using Pythagoras theorem,

BE = BN + NE

By solving this, we get

Area of the square = (side)2

= (24√3 - 36)2 [(a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab]

= 1728 + 1296 - 2 × 24√3 × 36

= 3024 - 1728√3

Directions: Study the graph carefully and answer the following question.

Q. In 2008, If the firm faces extra expense of the value Rs. 50 lakh, and earns Rs. 45 lakh more, then the approximate % change in the savings of the firm during the given years is

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 3
Initial income of the firm = 4360 lakh

Initial expense of the firm = 2720 lakh

Initial savings of the firm = 4360 - 2720 = 1640 lakh

After the changed situation,

Income = 4360 + 45 = 4405 lakh

Expense = 2720 + 50 = 2770 lakh

Savings = 4405 - 2770 = 1635 lakh

Therefore,

Required % = x 100 = 0.304878% = 0.31% Loss

Hence, this is the required result.

From (i) and (ii),

After rationalising, we get

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 5

Each interior angle of a regular polygon is 120° greater than each exterior angle. How many sides are there in the polygon?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 5
Exterior angle = x

Interior angle = x + 120°

n(120° + x) = (n – 2) 180°

120°n + 360° = 180°n – 360°

360° + 360° = 60°n

720° = 60°n

n = 12

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 6

Arjun invested Rs. 2400 and Bhaskar invested Rs. 3600 in a startup. After the completion of four successful months of the startup, Keshav also invested Rs. X in this startup. After the completion of eight successful months of the startup, Bhaskar withdrew Rs. 600. When annual profit was calculated, it came out to be Rs. 22,500 and Keshav's share in this profit was Rs. 8000. What is the value of X?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 6
Investment made by Arjun = 2400 × 12 = 28,800

Investment made by Bhaskar = 3600 × 8 + 3000 × 4 = 40,800

Investment made by Keshav = X × 8 = 8X

Calculating the ratio of their investments as the profit sharing ratio will also be the same.

Arjun : Bhaskar : Keshav = 28,800 : 40,800 : 8X = 3600 : 5100 : X

Sum of ratio = 3600 + 5100 + X = 8700 + X

It is given that

22,500X = 8,000X + 69,600,000

22,500X - 8,000X = 69,600,000

14,500 X = 69,600,000

X = 48,00

This is the correct answer.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 7

Which of the following values of θ satisfies the given equation?

= 4, where θ ∈ (0, π)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 7

⇒ 2cosθ - 4cos2θ = 0

⇒ 2cosθ(1 - 2cosθ) = 0

i.e. cosθ = 0 or 1 - 2cosθ = 0

θ = 90° or cosθ = 2/4 = 1/2 ...(1)

As for θ = 90°, denominator becomes zero, which is not possible.

Also, cos60° = 1/2 ...(2)

From (1) and (2), we have

cosθ = cos60° or θ = 60°

5 + (22 - 1) = 8

8 + (23 - 1) = 8 + 7 = 15

15 + (24 - 1) = 15 + 15 = 30

30 + (25 - 1) = 30 + 31 = 61 (But it is mentioned as 60)

61 + (26 - 1) = 61 + 63 = 124

Hence, "60" is the correct answer.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 27
Given:

Total mobile phones in the box are 35.

The average weight of 12 mobile phones is 50 grams.

The average weight of 11 mobile phones is 40 grams.

The average weight of the remaining mobile phones is 45 grams.

Concept:

Often "average" refers to the arithmetic mean, the sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers are being averaged.

Formula used:

Total weight = Average weight × total number of items

Average = Total sum of all numbers / Total numbers of items

Calculation:

Total mobile phones in the box are 35.

The average weight of 12 mobile phones = 50 grams.

Then, the total weight of 12 mobile phones

⇒ 12 × 50 = 600 grams

The average weight of the next 11 mobile phones is 40 grams.

Then, the total weight of 11 mobile phones

⇒ 11 × 40 = 440 grams

Remaining number of mobile phones

⇒ 35 – 12 – 11 = 12

The average weight of the remaining mobile phones is 45 grams.

Then, the total weight of the remaining mobile phones

⇒ 12 × 45 = 540 gram

Now the total weight of 35 mobile phones

⇒ 600 + 440 + 540 = 1580 grams

Now to find the average weight of 35 mobile phones

Average = Total weight / Total numbers of an item

⇒ 1580 / 35 = 45.12 grams

∴ the average weight of all mobile phones is 45 grams.

The HCF of two or more than two numbers is the greatest number that divides each of them exactly.

Calculation:

Let Manju's age is 12x years

∴ Rupam's age = (5/12) × 12x years = 5x years

Now,

HCF of (12x and 5x) is 4

The greatest common factor of (12x and 5x) is x

∴ x = 4

Manju's age = 4 × 12 = 48 years

Rupam's age = 4 × 5 = 20 years

∴ The difference between Manju's age and Rupam's age = 48 -20 = 28 years

⇒ Total volume of water in the solution = 150 - 45 = 105 l

Let the quantity of milk added be "a"

According to the question-

⇒ a + 45 = 75

∴ a = 30 l

Total quantity of milk in the final solution = 45 + 30 = 75 l

The quantity of milk that should be added is 75 l.

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 30

X and Y can do a piece of work in 45 days and 40 days respectively. They begin to work together, but X leaves after n days and then Y completes the remaining work in 23 days. What is n equal to ?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 9 - Question 30
Given

Time taken by X to complete a work = 45 days

Time taken by Y to complete a work = 40 days

Time taken by Y to complete the remaining work = 23 days

Formula used:

Work = Efficiency × Time

Calculation:

LCM of 45 and 40 is 360

Efficiency of X = (360/45) = 8 units/day

Efficiency of Y = (360/40) = 9 units/day

Work done by Y in 23 days = (23 × 9) = 207 units

Work done by (X + Y) in = (360 − 207) = 153 units

Time is taken by X and Y to complete the 153 units

⇒ [(153/(8 + 9)] days

⇒ (153/17) = 9 days

∴ The required value of n is 9.
