A+B=132
B+C=130
C+D=102
B+D=116
A+2B+C=262
B+C+2D=218
A+B-2D=44
132-2D=44
D=44

12. A cylinder is 6 cms in diameter and 6 cms in height. If spheres of the same size are made from the material obtained, what is the diameter of each sphere?

Answer: 3 cms

Explanation:

The volume of the cylinder is Pi x r^2 x h = Pi x 3^2 x 6 = 54Pi
Volume of a cylinder is 4/3 x Pi x r^3
Now 54Pi = 12 x 4/3 x Pi x r^3
54 = 16 x r^3
r^3 = 54/16 = 27/8
r = 3/2
Therefore diameter is 3 cms

15. A survey of a village showed that 1 / 10 of the total population speak neither Hindi nor English. 1 / 5 of them cannot speak English and 3 / 7 of them cannot speak Hindi. What percentages of people know only one language?

Answer: 42.86%

Explanation:

persons who can speak English = 1 - (1/5) = 4/5
persons who can speak Hindi = 1 - (3/7) = 4/7
persons who can speak any or both = 1 - 1/10 = 9/10
so total persons speak both = 4/5 + 4/7 - 9/10 = 33/70
persons speak any = 1 - 33/70 - 1/10 = 3/7
% = 300/7% = 42.86%

Answer: 10

Explanation:

2ab = (a^2 + b^2) - (a - b)^2
= 29 - 9 = 20
ab = 10.

17. 2 containers labeled A and B are filled with red and blue marbles in given quantities: -
Container RED BLUE
A 6 4
B 60 40
Each container is shaken vigorously. After choosing 1 of the container, without looking, draw out a marble. From which container you have the max probability of choosing a blue marble?

Answer: Equal chances from each container

Explanation:

If any one choose container A then prob = (1/2)*(4/10)=1/5
If any one choose container A then prob = (1/2)*(40/100)=1/5

18. Below is a pseudo code Read x

While(x < 60)
write x
x = x*3

The last number in the sequence is 54, what has the user entered as the initial value of x

Answer: 2

Explanation:

Given Last value int seq. = 54.

and in every Loop result multiplied By 3.

So By Backward Approach

54/3=18 => 18/3=6

=> 6/3=2.

So, The Starting Value Is 2

19. If m^2+m^-2=23;then what is the value of m^3+m^-3?

Answer: 110

Explanation:

m^2+m^-2=23
=> (m + m^-1)^2 - 2 = 23
=> (m + m^-1) = 5

m^3+m^-3 = (m + m^-1)^3 - 3(m + m^-1) = 5^3 - 3*5 = 110

20. If m=2- _/3
Find the value of:
(m^6+m^5+m^4+1)/m^3

Answer: (61 - 5?3)

Explanation:

m = (2 - ?3)
=> 1/m = (2 + ?3)

(m^6+m^5+m^4+1)/m^3
= m^3 + m^2 + m + 1/m^3
= (m + 1/m)^3 - 3(m +1/m) + m(m+1)
= 4^3 - 3*4 + (2-?3)(3-?3)
= 64 - 12 + 9 - 5?3
= (61 - 5?3)
