SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 18
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 18
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 19
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 19
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 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 20

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%

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 21
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 21
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 22

If the data related to the production of type E cars is represented by a pie-chart, then the central angle of the sector representing the production of cars in 2013 will be:

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 22

Total production of E cars = 48 + 55 + 64 + 65 + 68 = 300
Production of E cars in 2013 = 55
Therefore, angle in the pie-chart = (55/300) x 360 = 66°

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 23

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 23

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%

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 24

The ratio of the total production of type A cars in 2014 and 2016 and type C cars in 2013 taken together to the total production of type B cars and type D cars taken together in 2014 is:

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 24

Total production of type A cars in 2014 and 2016 = (56 + 64) = 120
Total production of type C cars in 2013 = 45
Total production of type B cars and type D cars taken together in 2014 = (63 + 57) = 120
Ratio =
=
= 11 : 8

SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 25
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 25
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
SSC CGL Tier I Mock Test - 9 - Question 26

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 26

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
