SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 5 - Question 1

If A = 0.abcabc ____, then by which of the following numbers can A be multiplied so as to get an integral value?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 5 - Question 1
A = 0.abcabc ... (1)

1000A = abc + 0.abc... = abc + A ... (2)

Equation (2) - Equation (1) gives:

999A = abc

A = abc/999

Now, 2997A = 3 × abc

And, 1998A = 2 × abc

Thus, A can be multiplied by both 1998 and 2997 to get an integral value.

Hence, answer option 4 is correct.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 5 - Question 16
Given:

Rate = 5% per annum

Late fee = Rs. 100000

Return on money invested = 20%

Difference between amount gained and amount returned = Rs. 75000

Formula used:

SI = (P × R × T)/100

Calculation:

According to question,

Loan taken of Rs.500000

SI on loan for x years = (500000 × 5 × x)/100

⇒ 25000x

Total amount to be paid = 500000 + 25000x

After investing Rs.500000 amount gained,

⇒ 500000 + 20% of 500000

⇒ Rs. 600000

Difference between total amount after gain and amount returned = Rs. 75000

⇒ 600000 - (500000 + 25000x) = 75000

⇒ 100000 - 25000x = 75000

⇒ 25000x = 25000

⇒ x = 1 year

∴ The correct answer is 1 year.

⇒ 1/√3 + 1/2√3

⇒ 1/√3 × (1 + 1/2)

⇒ 3/2√3

Similarly,

Sum of circumradius and inradius for bigger triangle,

⇒ 4 × 4 × 4/ 4 × √3/4 × (4)2 + √3/4 × (4)2/ (4 + 4 + 4)/2

⇒ 4/√3 + 2√3/3

⇒ 4/√3 + 2/√3

⇒ 6/√3

Ratio = 3/2√3 : 6√3

⇒ 3/2 : 6

⇒ 3 : 12

⇒ 1 : 4

∴ The correct answer is 1 : 4.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 5 - Question 18
Given

Raman and Tapan starts a business and invested Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 50,000 respectively.

After six months Raman added Rs. 10,000 more and Tapan withdrew Rs. 30,000.

At the end of the year if the business profited Rs. 10,000.

Concept used:P1 : P2 = (I × T)1 : (I × T)2

Where,

P1 and P2 are the profit earned by the first person and second person respectively.

(I × T)1 is the capital invested or product of the amount of investment done and the time of investment for the first person.

(I × T)2 is the capital invested or product of the amount of investment done and the time of investment for the second person.

Calculation:

According to the question,

For Raman:

The amount invested for the first six months = Rs. 10,000

The amount invested for the last six months = Rs. 10,000 + Rs. 10,000 = Rs. 20,000

For Tapan:

The amount invested for the first six months = Rs. 50,000

The amount invested for the last six months = Rs. 50,000 - Rs. 30,000 = Rs. 20,000

Now,

Capital invested by Raman = (Rs. 10000 × 6) + (Rs. 20000 × 6)

Capital invested by Tapan = (Rs. 50000 × 6) + (Rs. 20000 × 6)

Now,

The required ratio for the profit = (Rs. 10000 × 6) + (Rs. 20000 × 6) : (Rs. 50000 × 6) + (Rs. 20000 × 6)

The required ratio for the profit = 3 : 7

Again according to the question,

The profit earned by Tapan

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 5 - Question 19
Given:

A temple of a conical roof of radius 2 m and height is twice that of the radius.

Cost of painting per sq. m = Rs. 512

Formula used:

(1.) Lateral surface area of cone = πrl

Where,

r = radius of cone

l = slant height

(2.) Slant height = √(r2 + h2)

Where,

h = height of the cone

Calculation:

According to the question,

The radius of the cone = 2 m

The height of the cone = 4 m

Let l be the slant height of the cone.

⇒ l2 = 4 + 16

⇒ l = 2√5 m

Let A be the lateral surface area of the cone.

⇒ A = πrl

⇒ A = 3.14 × 2 × 2√5

⇒ A ≈ 28 m2

Since the cost of painting per sq. m = Rs. 512

Therefore, the total cost of painting a conical roof = Rs. 512 × 28 = Rs. 14336

Therefore, 'Rs. 14336' is the required answer.

A man sells an article at 10% above its cost price. If he had bought it at 15% less than what he paid for it and sold it for Rs. 33 less, he would have gained 10%. Find the cost price of the article.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 5 - Question 21
Given

Markup percentage = 10%

Profit percentage = 10%

Concept used:

Selling price = Cost price × (1 + profit %)

Calculation:

Let the cost price be 100x

Selling price = 100x × 110/100 = 110x

Reduced Cost price = 100x × 85/100 = 85x

Reduced selling price = 85x × 110/100 = 187x/2

According to the question, 110x - 187x/2 = Rs. 33

⇒ 33x/2 = Rs.33 ⇒ x = Rs.2

∴ The cost price of the article = 100 × 2 = Rs.200.

⇒ ? = 576 + 210 - 30

⇒ ? = 756

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 5 - Question 29

If (a + b) : (b + c) : (c + a) = 5 : 7 : 8 , Then find the value of ab : bc : ca

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 5 - Question 29
Given

(a + b) : (b + c) : (c + a) = 5 : 7 : 8

Calculation:

Let, a + b = 5k , so (b + c) and (c + a) is 7k and 8k respectively.

As per the question,

(a + b) + (b + c) + (c + a) = 5k + 7k + 8k

⇒ 2 (a + b + c) = 20

⇒ (a + b + c) = 10k

So,(a + b + c) - (b + c) = 10k - 7k

⇒ a = 3k

(a + b + c) - (c + a) = 10k - 8k

⇒ b = 2k

(a + b + c) - (a + b)) = 10k - 5k

⇒ c = 5k

So, ab : bc : ca = 3k × 2k : 2k × 5k : 5k × 3k

⇒ 6k2 : 10k2 : 15k2

⇒ 6 : 10 : 15

∴ The value is 6:10:15

SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 5 - Question 30

What will be the cost of painting the curved surface area of a plastic cylindrical toy with a radius of 42 cm and a height of 3.5 cm? If the cost of painting is at the rate of Rs 70 per cm2.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 5 - Question 30
Given

The radius of the cylindrical toy = 42 cm.

The height of the cylindrical toy = 3.5 cm

Cost of painting = Rs 70 per cm2.

Formula used:

The curved surface area of the cylindrical toy = 2πrh

( r = radius , h = height)

Calculation:

As per the question,

The curved surface area of the cylindrical toy = 2 × π × 42 × 3.5

⇒ 2 × (22/7) × 42 × 3.5 [as we know π = 22/7]

⇒ 2 × 22 × 42 × 0.5

⇒ 2 × 22 × 21

⇒ 44 × 21

⇒ 924 cm2

So, the total cost = 924 × 70

⇒ Rs 64680

∴ The cost of painting the curved surface area is Rs 64680
