9500.Which of the following set of measurements will form a right angle triangle?
6, 9, 12
5, 8, 10
5, 5, 5$\sqrt{2}$
3, 4, 4$\sqrt{2}$
Explanation:
Right angled triangle=>$AB^{2}+BC^{2}=AC^{2}$
=>$5^{2}+5^{2}=(5\sqrt{2})^{2}$
=>25+25=$25\times 2$
=>50=50
9502.The value of - $\sqrt{609+\sqrt{248+\sqrt{60+\sqrt{7+\sqrt{81}}}}}$
20
25
16
9
Explanation:
solve it from right to left=$\sqrt{81}=9 then add with \sqrt{7}=>we get,\sqrt{9+7}=>\sqrt{16}$=4
then $\sqrt{4+60}=>\sqrt{64}=8$
then $\sqrt{8+248}=\sqrt{256}=16$
then $\sqrt{16+609}=\sqrt{625}=25$
9504.The price of a house is decreased from rupees fifteen lakhs to rupees twelve lakhs. The
percentage of decrease is
10%
20%
30%
40%
Explanation:
the price of house decreased from 15,00,000 to 12,00,000
so there difference =15,00,000-12,00,000=3,00,000=3 lakhs
the decreased percentage(%)=$\dfrac{3}{15}\times100$
=20%
9506.If 3 (t — 3) = 5 (2t + 1) then t = ?
-2
2
-3
3
Explanation:
3(t-3)=5(2t+1)
3t-9=10t+5
7t=-14
t=$\dfrac{-14}{7}$
t=-2
9508.The value of $\dfrac{1.75×1.75+2×1.75×0.75+0.75×0.75}{1.75 x 1.75- 0.75 x 0.75}$
3.5
6.25
1
2.5
Explanation:
the given question is in format of =$\dfrac{(a+b)^{2}}{a^{2}-b^{2}}$
therefore,=$\dfrac{(a+b)\times (a+b)}{(a+b) (a-b)}$
=$\dfrac{(a+b)}{(a-b)}$
ie.,=$\dfrac{1.75+0.75}{1.75-0.75}$
=2.5/1=2.5
9510.The value of $16^{3}\div 7^{3}$–$23^{3}$ is
-7728
7028
7728
-7718
Explanation:
$16^{3}+7^{3}-23^{3}$ is in the format of=$a^{3}+b^{3}-c^{3}$
then first take$ a^{3}+b^{3}=>16^{3}+7^{3}$ $[(a+b)(a^{2}-ab+b^{2})]$
$=>(16+7)(16^{2}-16(7)+7^{2})$
$=>23(256-112+49)$
=>23(144+49)
=>23(193)
=>4439
$7^{3}$=12167
$16^{3}+7^{3}-23^{3}$=4439-12167=-7728
9512.Find the next term of 4 in the series is 1, 1, 2, 8, 3, 27, 4, ...
31
29
16
64
Explanation:
$1,1^{3},2,2^{3},3,3^{3},4 then 4^{3} $will come in series therefore,$4^{3}=64$
9514.Three angles of a triangle are x - 30°, x - 45°, x + 15°, find the value of x.
Ꮾ0°
40°
80°
100°
Explanation:
Sum of the angles of triangle=$180^{0}$
therefore,x-30+x-45+x+15=$180^{0}$
3x-60=$180^{0}$
3x=$240^{0}$
x=$240^{0}$/3
x=$80^{0}$
9516.The difference between simple interest and compound interest for a sum of Rs. 12,000 lent
at 10% per annum in 2 years, is
Rs.80
Rs.90
Rs.120
Rs.100
Explanation:
Principal=Rs.12,000
Rate of interest=10%
years=2years
SI=$\dfrac{P\times N\times R}{100}$
=$\dfrac{12,000\times 2\times 10 }{100}$
=$\dfrac{240000}{100}$
=2400
CI=$A=P(1+\dfrac{r}{100})^ n-P$
$=12,000(1+\dfrac{10}{100})^2-12,000$
$=12,000(1+0.1)^2-12,000$
$=12,000(1.1)^2-12,000$
$=12,000\times 1.21-12,000$
$=14,520-12,000$
CI=Rs.2520
Diff btw CI and SI=2520-2400
=Rs.120
