Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 10
In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is an electrical safety device that operates to provide overcurrent protection of an electrical circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, thereby stopping or interrupting the current. It is a sacrificial device. Once a fuse has operated, it is an open circuit. It must be replaced or rewired, depending on type.

If a + b + c = 8 and ab + bc + ca = 20, then a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc is equal to
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 14
We have the formula
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ac)
We can write it as follows.
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c)(a2 + b2 + c2 - (ab + bc + ac))
Now, we have
a + b + c = 8
ab + bc + ac = 20
Putting values, we get
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc = 8(a2 + b2 + c2 - 20) .... (1)
Now, we also know that
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ac)
Putting values, we get
82 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(20)
a2 + b2 + c2 = 64 - 40
a2 + b2 + c2 = 24
So, put this in equation (1).
We have
a3 + b3 + c3 - 3abc
= 8(24 - 20)
= 32

What number should be added to each of the numbers 55, 100, 65 and 116, so that the resulting numbers are in continued proportion?
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 15
Let number added = x
For continued proportion of a, b, c, d,
a/b = c/d
Then,
(55 + x)/(100 + x) = (65 + x)/(116 + x)
or, 6380 + 171x + (x)2 = 6500 + 165x + (x)2
or, 6x = 120 (By solving the above equation)
or, x = 20

Anu fixes the selling price of an article at 25% above its cost of production. If the cost of production goes up by 20% and she raises the selling price by 10%, then her percentage profit is (correct to one decimal place):
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 16

Initially profit = 25%
Let the cost price be Rs. 100
Selling price = = 125
Profit = 125 = 100 = Rs. 25
Now,
Cost price = = Rs. 120
Selling price = = Rs. 137.5
Profit = 137.5 - 120 = 17.5
Profit percentage = = 14.6%

The average of twelve numbers is 45.5. The average of the first four numbers is 41.5 and that of the next five numbers is 48. The 10th number is 4 more than the 11th number and 9 more than the 12th number. What is the average of the 10th and 12th numbers?
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 17
The average of 12 numbers = 45.5
Sum of 12 numbers = average × number of numbers = 45.5 × 12 = 546
The average of the first four numbers = 41.5
Sum of first four numbers = 41.5 × 4 = 166
The average of next five numbers = 48
Sum of next five numbers = 48 × 5 = 240
Sum of the first 9 numbers = sum of first four numbers + sum of next five numbers = 166 + 240 = 406
10th number = 4 + 11th number ------ (1)
10th number = 9 + 12th number ------ (2)
Sum of the first 9 numbers + 10th number + 11th number + 12th number = 546
406 + 10th number + 10th number - 4 + 10th number - 9 = 546
3 × 10th number = 546 - 406 + 4 + 9
3 × 10th number = 153
10th number = 51
From eqn. (1),
12th number = 10th number - 9 = 51 - 9 = 42
The average of the 10th and 12th numbers = (51 + 42)/2 = 46.5
Hence, answer option 1 is correct.

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 18

Total production of E cars = 48 + 55 + 64 + 65 + 68 = 300

The average production of type C cars during 2012 to 2016 is approximately what percent less than the total production of type D cars in 2012 and type E cars in 2014?
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 19

Total production of type C cars during 2012 - 2016 = 44 + 45 + 67 + 63 + 76 = 295
Average production of type C cars during 2012 - 2016 = 295/5 = 59
Production of type D cars in 2012 = 46
Production of type E cars in 2014 = 64
Total production of type D cars in 2012 and type E cars in 2014 = 46 + 64 = 110
Required difference = 110 - 59 = 51
Therefore, percentage = (51/110) x 100 = 46.36%
= 46.4%

An article is sold for Rs. 1680 after two successive discounts of 20% and 16%. What is the marked price of the article?
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 21
Effective discount = -20 - 16 + (-20 x -16)/100
= -36 + 3.2 = -32.8%
Therefore,
Selling price = 67.2%
67.2% of MP = 1680
So, MP = 1680 x 100/67.2 = Rs. 2500

The difference between compound interest and simple interest on Rs. p at 7.5% per annum for 2 years is Rs. 45. What is the value of p?
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 22

Rate of interest = 7.5%
Time = 2 yr
Difference between CI and SI = Rs. 45
Let sum = Rs. 100x

Compound interest = Amount - principal

Compound interest = 115.5625x - 100x = Rs. 15.5625x
Difference between CI and SI = 15.5625x - 15x = 0.5625x
According to the question, it is Rs. 45.
So, x = 45/0.5625 = 80
Then, sum = 100x = 100 × 80 = Rs. 8000
Therefore, p = Rs.8000
