- 1) Check for all the nos.
4573 - 53 = 4520
4573 - 84 = 4489
4573 - 63 = 4512
4573 - 36 = 4537
No perfect squares ll end in 2 nd 7 nd 0 should also be neglected since perfect sq. has atleast 2 0's at d end...... So dont consider 1st, 3rd nd 4th case... Calculate sq. root for 2nd case... The nearest perfect square is 3600 which is square root of 60... So values result should be greater than 60...
Hence 4489 is the perfect square... 84 must be subtracted...
Ans : 84
2)(x-4)/7 + (7-2x)/6 = (8-x)/2
(6x-24+49-14x)/42 = (8-x)/2
50-16x = 336-42x
26x = 286
x = 11
Ans : 11
3) Let amount of sand nd cement be 3x nd x
3x+x = 1000kg
x = 250
Sand : cement => 750 : 250
(750+y)/250 = 6/1
y = 750
Ans : 750
6)114 km/h => 114*5/18 m/s => 95/3 m/s
66km/h => 66*5/18 m/s => 55/3 m/s
Time taken = (246+304)/(55/3 + 95/3) => 11 sec
Ans : 11 sec
7) (6)23 x (4)10 x (5)10
2*3*23*2*2*2*5*5*2*5
=> 2^5 * 3^1 * 5^3
=> 5+1+3 = 9 [If 23 is not considered as d prime factor...Otherwise it ll be 10]
Ans : 9
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(43) No(1)
- 5) Let d age of all the 6 people be 20...
After 5 years i.e. now their ages ll be 25...
Total age of all the 6 now is 25*6 = 150
Including baby's age, avg is 22... Let x be the age of baby...
(150+x)/7 = 22
x = 4
Ans : 4 years - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(19) No(1)
- babies age is 4 years
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 1.ans is 36
2.ans is 11
3.ans is 1 tonne
5.ans is 5 year

23 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(14)
- please explain why 3x+x=1000???? why it is not 3x+x=750
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- because 1 tonne=1000kg, so we take 3x+x = 1000
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- (x-4)/7 + (7-2x)/6 = (8-x)/2
(6x-24+49-14x)/42 = (8-x)/2
=> 50-16x = 336-42x
=> 26x = 286
=> x = 11 - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
