Answer : 1. "20"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 20 Explanation: Given height of the conical tent = 3 m Diameter = 10 => Radius = D/2 = 10/2 = 5 m  Now, as the tent is in the conical form Volume of the conical tent = πr2h3  => (22 x 5 x 5 x 3) / (7 x 3)  = 22 x 25/7  = 78.54 cu.m  Given each person requires 3.92 cu.m of air  => Number of persons can be seated in the tent = 78.54/3.92 = 20.03 =~ 20

Answer : 3. "10"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 10 Explanation: Let the price of each note book be Rs.x. Let the number of note books which can be brought for Rs.300 each at a price of Rs.x be y. Hence xy = 300 => y = 300/x (x + 5)(y - 10) = 300 => xy + 5y - 10x - 50 = xy =>5(300/x) - 10x - 50 = 0 => -150+x2+5x multiplying both sides by -1/10x => x2+15x-10x-150=0 => x(x + 15) - 10(x + 15) = 0 => x = 10 or -15 As x>0, x = 10.
