SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 19
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 19
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
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 20
Sonu saves 15% of her income. If her income increases by 20% and she still saves the same amount as before, then what is the percentage increase in her expenditure? (correct to one decimal place)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 20
Let the initial income of Sonu be Rs. 100.
Savings = 15% = Rs. 15
Expenditure = Rs. (100 - 15) = Rs. 85
Income after increment = Rs. = Rs. 120
Savings = Rs. 15
Expenditure = Rs. 120 - Rs. 15 = Rs. 105
Increment in expenditure = Rs. 105 - Rs. 85 = Rs. 20
Percentage increment in expenditure = = 23.52%
Hence, answer option 2 is correct.
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 21
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 21
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

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 24
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 24
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.
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 25
If a2 + b2 - c2 = 0, then the value of is:
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 25
The given expression is 2(a6 + b6 - c6)/(3a2b2c2).
Or 2((a2)3 + (b2)3 - (c2)3 )/(3a2b2c2)
Now, it is given that a2 + b2 - c2 = 0 or a2 + b2 = c2
So, plugging in the value of c2 as a2 + b2, the given expression becomes 2((a2)3 + (b2)3 - (a2 + b2)3)/(3a2b2(a2 + b2))
Or 2((a2)3 + (b2)3 - ((a2)3 + (b2)3 + 3a2b2(a2 + b2)))/(3a2b2(a2 + b2))
Or, 2((a2)3 + (b2)3 - (a2)3 - (b2)3 - 3a2b2(a2 + b2))/(3a2b2(a2 + b2))
= 2(-3(a2b2(a2 + b2)))/(3a2b2(a2 + b2))
= -2
Hence, answer option 2 is correct.

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 28

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
