m | 4 |
-
Solution
60m + 65 = 61 (m + 1)
∴ 60m + 65 = 61m + 61
∴ m = 4
\(\sqrt{42}+\sqrt{53}\) | 10 |
-
Solution
\(\sqrt{42}\) is more than 6 and \(\sqrt{58}\) is more than 7.
Hence the total is more than 10.
(In GRE square root of a number is always considered as positive)
ΔMNO and ΔPQR have the same area.
MP < OR
The altitude of ΔMNO from N to MO | The altitude of ΔPQR from Q to PR |
-
Solution
Area of Δ = 1⁄2 base X height.
Base of ΔMNO is MO = MP + PO
Base of ΔPQR is PR = PO + QR
Since PO is same and MP is less than OR, the base MO is less than the base PR.
∴ To get the same area, altitude of ΔMNO will be greater than altitude of ΔPQR.
the figure shows the dimensions of a certain plot of land.
m | 12 |
-
Solution
Pythagoras triplet 6, 8, 10
∴ Col. A =10, Col. B = 12
value of the 9th term | 30 |
-
Solution
nth term of an A.P. = a + (n - 1)d
∴ Sum of middle 3 terms = sum of 5th, 6th and 7th term
= (a + 4d) + (a + 5d) + (a + 6d) = 3a + 15d
Sum of last three terms = sum of 9th, 10th and 11th term = (a + 8d) + (a + 9d) + (a + 10d)
= 3a + 27d
∴ d=4,a=4
Col. A = a + 8d = 36, Col. B = 60
probability of (A ∪ B) | 0.92 |
-
Solution
For independent events
P(A ∪ B) = P(A)+ P(B) - P(A).P(B)
= 0.6 + 0.8 - (0.6 × 0.8) = 0.92
∴ Col. A = Col. B
Profit Percent | 125% |
-
Solution
Let Cost Price of 20 apples and 15 figs = $100.
∴ Cost price of 4 apples and 3 figs =\(\frac{100}{5}\)= 20
Also Selling Price of 4 apples and 3 figs = \(\frac{100}{2}\) = $50
∴ Profit = $50 - $20 = $30
∴ Profit % = 30 × 100 = 150%
∴ Col. A = 150%, Col. B = 125%
cost price for that car.
Tom’s % gain in the transaction | 20 |
-
Solution
Dick sold the car to Harry at a loss of 20%.
Let Tom sell the car to Dick for $100.
∴ Dick now sells it to Harry for 0.80 × 100= $80.
∴ Dick's cost price for the car = Tom's cost price for the car = $80.
∴ Car cost $80 to Tom and he sold it at $100.
∴ % gain = \(\frac{20}{80}\) × 100 = 25%
∴ Col. A > Col. B
Average speed for the whole journey in kmph | 1.5 |
-
Solution
Average speed = \(\frac{Total\, distance}{Total\, time}\)
Let distance travelled at each speed is 8 kms.
∴ Time taken = 8⁄8,8⁄4,8⁄2 and 8⁄1 hours respectively. Total time taken 15 hours.
∴ Total distance travelled = 32 kms.
∴ Average speed = \(\frac{32}{5}\) = 2 kmph. approx.
(814)4 | (332)2 |
-
Solution
Col. A = 8116 = (34)16 = 364
Col. B = (332)2 = 364
