Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 4

40 + 10 ÷ 2 × 8 - 17 = 17
After interchanging '+' and '-', we get:
40 - 10 ÷ 2 × 8 + 17 = 17
40 - 5 × 8 + 17 = 17
40 - 40 + 17 = 17
17 = 17
Thus, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 5

11 + 204 - 6 = 80
209 ≠ 80
Option 2: Interchanging + and - ; 6 and 12, we get:
17 - 11 + 6 × 36 ÷ 12 = 80
17 - 11 + 6 × 3 = 80
17 - 11 + 18 = 80
24 ≠ 80
Option 3: Interchanging × and - ; 6 and 12, we get:

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 17

Total production of type A cars in 2015 = 56
Total production of type B cars in 2014 = 48

Total production of type C cars in 2017 = 57
Total production of type E cars in 2018 = 60
Total production of type C and type E cars in 2017 and 2018, respectively = 57 + 60 = 117
The ratio of the total production of type A cars in 2015 and type B cars in 2014 taken together to the production of type C cars in 2017 and type E cars in 2018 taken together

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 19
The expression (a + b - c)3 + (a - b + c)3 - 8a3 is equal to:
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 19
Let (a + b - c) = A, (a - b + c) = B and -2a = C
(a + b - c)3 + (a - b + c)3 - 8a3
= (A)3 + (B)3 - (C)3
As A + B + C = a + b - c + a - b + c - 2a = 0
(A3 + B3 + C3 = 3ABC when A + B + C = 0)
A3 + B3 + C3 = 3ABC
= 3(a + b - c) (a - b + c) (-2a)
= 6a(a - b + c) (c - a - b)
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 20
If the radius of a right circular cylinder is decreased by 10%, and the height is increased by 20%, then the percentage increase/decrease in its volume is:
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 3 - Question 20
Volume of right circular cylinder = πr2h
Radius of a right circular cylinder is decreased by 10% and the height is increased by 20%.
So,
r1 = r × 90/100 = 0.9r
h1 = h × 120/100 = 1.2h
Volume of new right circular cylinder = π(r1)2(h1) = π(0.9r)2 (1.2h) = 0.972(πr2h)
Decrement in volume = πr2h - 0.972 (πr2h) = 0.028(πr2h)
Percentage decrement in volume = [0.028(πr2h)/(πr2h)] × 100 = 2.8%
Hence, answer option 4 is correct.
