What is the value of [(sin 59° cos 31° + cos 59° sin 31°) ÷ (cos 20° cos 25° - sin 20° sin 25°)]?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 8 - Question 12
We know that sin A cos B + cos A sin B = sin (A + B)

sin 59° cos 31° + cos 59° sin 31° = sin (59 + 31) = sin 90°

cos A cos B - sin A sin B = cos (A + B)

cos 20° cos 25° - sin 20° sin 25° = cos (20 + 25) = cos 45°

sin 90° ÷ cos 45° = 1 ÷ 1/√2 = √2

Or X = 1/((1 + X + 1)/(1 + X))

Or X = (1 + X)/(2 + X)

Or X(2 + X) = 1 + X Or X2 + X - 1 = 0

Or X = (-1 - 51/2)/2 or (-1 + 51/2)/2

y = 2/(2 + (1/(1 + y)))

Or y = 2/((2y + 2 + 1)/(1 + y))

Or y = (2y + 2)/(2y + 3)

Or y(2y + 3) = 2y + 2

Or 2y2 + y - 2 = 0

y = (-1 - 171/2)/4 or (-1 + 171/2)/4

Now, taking X = (51/2 - 1)/2 and y = (171/2 - 1)/4, the value of X + y is obtained as the value that appears in answer option (2).

By taking other possible values for X and y, values of X + y are obtained that exist in none of the other answer options.

A runs thrice as fast as B and B runs 4 times as fast as C. the distance covered by C in 96 minutes will be covered by A in:

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 8 - Question 20

Given:

Speed of A = 3 × Speed of B ... (1)

Speed of B = 4 × Speed of C ... (2)

Concept used:

Speed = Distance / time

For constant distance, clearly speed is inversely proportional to time.

Calculation:

Using (1) and (2),

Speed of A = 3 × 4 × Speed of C

Speed of A = 12 × Speed of C.

Speed of A / Speed of C = 12 : 1.

Ratio of time taken will be inverse to the ratio of speeds of A and C as the distance is constant.

Time taken by A / Time taken by C = 1 : 12.

Time taken by A to cover a distance which is covered by C in 96 minutes

Time taken by A = 96 / 12

Time taken by A = 8 minutes.

∴ The time taken by A will be 8 minutes.

Note - In the official answer key, the answer was given as "12'' but in the calculation it was found to be "8". So, the option has been changed.

How many bullets can be made out of a lead cylinder 45 m high and the radius 18 cm, each bullet being 4.5 cm in diameter?

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 8 - Question 22

Given:

Height of lead cylinder = 45 m = 4500 cm.

The radius of the cylinder = 18 cm.

Diameter of the bullet = 4.5 cm.

Concept used:

The volume of sphere = (4 / 3) πr3

where r = radius of the sphere

Volume of cylinder = πr'2h

where

r = radius of the cylinder

h = height of the cylinder

Calculation:

Radius of sphere = diameter / 2 = 4.5 / 2 = 2.25 cm.

Let the number of bullets be N.

N × Volume of sphere = Volume of cylinder

N × (4 / 3) πr3 = πr2h

N × 4r3 = 3r'2h

N × 4 × (2.25)3 = 3 × (18)2 × 4500

N = 96000.

∴ 96000 bullets can be made from the lead cylinder.

Note - In the official answer key, the answer was given as "900'' but in the calculation, it was found to be "96000". So, the option has been changed.

By selling a car for Rs. 2,56,000, Raj gains 28%. If the profit is reduced to 16% then the selling price will be:

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL (Tier II) Practice Test - 8 - Question 23

Given:

Profit% for selling price Rs. 256000 = 28%

Concept used:

Profit% = [(SP - CP) / CP] × 100

where

SP = Selling price

CP = Cost price

Calculation:

For 28% profit, SP = Rs. 256000

Profit% = [(SP - CP) / CP] × 100

28 × CP = 25600000 - 100 × CP

128 × CP = 25600000

CP = 25600000 / 128

CP = 200000.

For 16% profit,

Profit% = [(SP - CP) / CP] × 100

32000 = SP - 200000

SP = 232000.

∴ The selling price will be Rs. 2,32,000.

Formula used:

Curved Surface Area (CSA) of cylinder = 2πrh

where

r = radius of cylinder.

h = height of cylinder.

Volume of cylinder = π × r2 × h

Calculation:

CSA of cylinder

CSA = 2πrh

5280 = 2 × (22 / 7) × 21 × h

5280 = 2 × 22 × 3 × h

h = 5280 / 132

h = 40 cm.

Volume of cylinder

= π × r2 × h

= (22 / 7) × 21 × 21 × 40

= 22 × 21 × 3 × 40

= 55440 cm3.

∴ The volume of the cylinder is 55440 cm3.
