Given:
Income ratio of A and B = 7 : 8
Income ratio of B and C = 8 : 11
Difference in income between A and C = Rs. 800

To find:
Sum of income earned by all three (A, B, and C)

Approach:
1. Let the income of A, B, and C be 7x, 8x, and 11y respectively.
2. Use the given ratios to form equations and solve them to find the values of x and y.

Understanding the Equation
We start with the equation:
√7921 × √? = 6942
To simplify this, we can use the property of square roots:
√A × √B = √(A × B)
Therefore, we can rewrite the equation as:
√(7921 × ?) = 6942

Squaring Both Sides
Next, we square both sides to eliminate the square root:

    1050
  • b)
     540
  • c)
    1440
  • d)

Let us assume that the number with which Anita has to perform the multiplication is 'x'.
Instead of finding 35x, she calculated 53x.
The difference = 53x - 35x = 18x = 540
Therefore, x = 540/18 = 30
So, the new product = 30 x 53 = 1590.

A red light flashes three times per minute and a green light flashes five times in 2 min at regular intervals. If both lights start flashing at the same time, how many times do they flash together in each hour?
  • a)
    30
  • b)
    24
  • c)
    20
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arun Sharma answered  •  Sep 22, 2022
JEE
A red light flashes three times per minute and a green light flashes five times in 2 min at regular intervals. So red light fashes after every 1/3 min and green light flashes every 2/5 min. LCM of both the fractions is 2 min.
Hence, they flash together after every 2 min. So in an hour they flash together 30 times.

Charlie and Alan run a race between points A and B, 5 km apart. Charlie starts at 9 a.m. from A at a speed of 5 km/hr, reaches B, and returns to A at the same speed. Alan starts at 9:45 a.m. from A at a speed of 10 km/hr, reaches B and comes back to A at the same speed. At what time do Charlie and Alan first meet each other?
  • a)
    10 a.m.
  • b)
    10:20 a.m.
  • c)
    10:10 a.m

Solution:
Let us first calculate the time taken by Charlie to complete the round trip from A to B and back to A.
Distance between A and B = 5 km
Charlie's speed = 5 km/hr
Time taken to go from A to B = Distance/Speed = 5/5 = 1 hour
Time taken to come back from B to A = Distance/Speed = 5/5 = 1 hour
Total time taken by Charlie to complete the round trip = 1 + 1 = 2 hou

Let 4.669 be a and 2.331 be B
then the whole term becomes like
a²-b²/a²+b²-2ab
= (a-b)(a+b) / (a-b)²
= (a+b) / (a-b)
= 4.669 + 2.331 / 4.669 - 2.331
= 7/2.338 = 2.99

Multiplying Decimals

To solve this problem, we need to multiply 5.4 and 8.2. Here’s how we’ll do it:

Step 1: Ignore the decimal points and multiply 54 and 82.
54 x 82 = 4428

Step 2: Count the number of decimal places in the numbers we multiplied. There is one decimal place in 5.4 and two decimal places in 8.2, so we’ll add those together to get three decimal p

    75
  • c)
    41
  • d)

Since after division of a number successively by 3, 4 and 7, the remainders obtained are 2, 1 and 4 respectively, the number is of form ((((4*4)+1)*3)+2)k = 53K.
Let k = 1; the number becomes 53
If it is divided by 84, the remainder is 53.

Hence Option D is correct
