Answer : 2. "1/6"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1/6 Explanation: Total work is given by L.C.M of 72, 48, 36 Total work = 144 units Efficieny of A = 144/72 = 2 units/day Efficieny of B = 144/48 = 3 units/day Efficieny of C = 144/36 = 4 units/day According to the given data, 2 x p/2 + 3 x p/2 + 2 x (p+6)/3 + 3 x (p+6)/3 + 4 x (p+6)/3 = 144 x (100 - 125/3) x 1/100 3p + 4.5p + 2p + 3p + 4p = 84 x 3 - 54 p = 198/16.5 p = 12 days. Now, efficency of D = (144 x 125/3 x 1/100)/10 = 6 unit/day (C+D) in p days = (4 + 6) x 12 = 120 unit Remained part of work = (144-120)/144 = 1/6.

Answer : 3. "decrease by 4%"
Explanation :
Answer: C) decrease by 4% Explanation: Here, x = 20 and y = - 20Therefore, the net % change in value=x + y + xy100 %= 20 + -20 + 20 × -20100% or - 4% Since the sign is negative, there is a decrease in value by 4%.

Answer : 2. "3:2:4"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 3:2:4 Explanation: Given, y/(x - z) = (y + x)/z = x/yyz = xy + x2 - yz - xz ....(1)Also xy = yx-z ⇒x2 -xz = y2 ....(2)Using (1) and (2), we get yz = xy - yz + y22yz = xy + y22z = x + y Only option (B) satisfies the equation.
Q: Tanks A and B are each in the shape of a right circular cylinder.

Answer : 3. "80%"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 80% Explanation: circumference of A = 2πr = 8 => so r = 4πvolume = π×4π2×10 = 160πcircumference of B = 2πr = 10 => so r = 5πvolume = π×5π2×8 = 200πso ratio of capacities = 160/200 = 0.8 so capacity of A will be 80% of the capacity of B.
