Question 111.

How many digits will be there to the right of the decimal point in the product of 95.75 and .02554 ?

  1.    5
  2.    6
  3.    7
  4.    8
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 6
 -    Sum of decimal places = 7.
 
  Since the last digit to the extreme right will be zero (since 5 x 4 = 20), so there will be 6 significant  digits to the right of the decimal point.
Question 112.

Find the value of 5A + 3B + 6C + D + 3E:
If 47.2506 = 4A + 7  + 2C + 5 B D

  1.    53.6003
  2.    53.603
  3.    153.6003

  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 153.6003
 -   4A + 7 B + 2C + 5 D  + 6E = 47.2506      4A + 7 B  + 2C + 5 D  + 6E = 40 + 7 + 0.2 + 0.05 + 0.0006       Comparing the terms on both sides, we get:   4A = 40 7 B = 7, 2C = 0.2, 5 D  + 0.05, 6E = 0.0006     or A = 10, B = 1, C = 0.1, D = 100, E = 0.0001    5A + 3B + 6C + D + 3E = (5 x 10) + (3 x 1) + (6 x 0.1) + 100 + (3 x 0.0001)       = 50 + 3 + 0.6 + 100 + 0.0003 = 153.6003

Question 116.

8.7 - [7.6 - [6.5 - (5.4 - (4.3 - 2))]] is simplified to:

  1.    2.5
  2.    3.5
  3.    4.5
  4.    5.5
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 4.5

 -     Given expression = 8.7 - [7.6 - (6.5 - (5.4 - 2.3))]      = 8.7 - [7.6 - (6.5 - 3.1)]        = 8.7 - (7.6 - 3.4) = 8.7 - 4.2 = 4.5

Step 1: Simplify the innermost parentheses, starting with 4.3-2:
4.3-2 = 2.3
Step 2: Replace the parentheses with the result of Step 1:
5.4-2.3 = 3.1
Step 3: Simplify the next set of parentheses:
6.5-3.1 = 3.4
Step 4: Replace the parentheses with the result of Step 3:
7.6-3.4 = 4.2
Step 5: Simplify the last set of parentheses:
7.6-4.2 = 3.4
Step 6: Replace the parentheses with the result of Step 5:
8.7-3.4 = 5.3
Step 7: Simplify the outermost parentheses:
8.7-4.2 = 4.5
Therefore, the expression simplifies to 4.5.
Question 117.

Consider the following quotients: 1. 368.39 divided by 17 2. 170.50 divided by 62 3. 875.65 divided by 83 Their correct sequence in decreasing order is:

  1.    1, 3, 2
  2.    2, 1, 3
  3.    2, 3, 1
  4.    3, 1, 2
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1, 3, 2
 -   1. 36839   17 = 2167. Dividend contains 2 places of decimal.            368.39    17 = 21.67   2. 17050   62 = 275. Dividend contains 2 places of decimal.            170.50    62 = 2.75   3. 87565   83 = 1055. Dividend contains 2 places of decimal.            875.65    83 = 10.55   Since 21.67 > 10.55 > 2.75, the desired order is 1, 3, 2
Question 118.

Which of the following fractions is less than 7/8 and greater than 1/3?

  1.    1/4
  2.    23/24
  3.    11/12
  4.    17/24
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 17/24

 -   7 8  = 0.875, 1 3  = 0.333. 1 4  = 0.25. 23 24  = 0.958. 11 12  = 0.916, 17 24  = 0.708.      Clearly, 0.708 lies between 0.333 and 0.875.   17 24  lies between 1 3  and 7 8                                                              

To solve this problem, we need to find a fraction that lies between 7/8 and 1/3. To do so, we can convert both fractions to have a common denominator, which will allow us to compare them easily.

First, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 8, which is 24. Then, we can convert 7/8 and 1/3 to have a denominator of 24 as follows:

7/8 = (7/8) * (3/3) = 21/24

1/3 = (1/3) * (8/8) = 8/24

Now we can see that we need to find a fraction that lies between 8/24 and 21/24. To do so, we can look at each of the answer choices and convert them to have a denominator of 24.

A. 1/4 = 6/24, which is less than 8/24, so this option is not the correct answer.

B. 23/24 = 23/24, which is greater than 21/24, so this option is not the correct answer.

C. 11/12 = 22/24, which is greater than 21/24, so this option is not the correct answer.

D. 17/24 = 17/24, which is between 8/24 and 21/24, so this is the correct answer.

E. None of these options satisfy the conditions given in the problem statement.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D, 17/24.

In summary, to solve this problem, we converted the given fractions to have a common denominator and compared them to the answer choices to find the one that lies between them. The key concepts used were least common multiple, conversion of fractions to have a common denominator, and comparison of fractions.

Question 119.

Solve the following:
(0.6)4 - (0.5)4 (0.6)2 + (0.5)2

  1.    0.1
  2.    0.11
  3.    1.1
  4.    11
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 0.11

 -   Given expression = [(0.6)2]2 -[(0.5)2]2 (0.6)2 + (0.5)2     = [(0.6)2]2 + [(0.5)2]2 [(0.6)2]2 - [(0.5)2]2 (0.6)2 + (0.5)2       = (0.6)2 - (0.5)2       = (0.6 + 0.5) (0.6 - 0.5)       = (1.1 x 0.1) = 0.11

The expression to be evaluated is:

(0.6)^4 - (0.5)^4 (0.6)^2 + (0.5)^2

We can simplify this expression using the formula for the difference of two squares, which is:

a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)

Using this formula, we can rewrite the expression as:

(0.6)^4 - [(0.5)^2 (0.6)^2 - (0.5)^4]

We can then factor out (0.5)^2 from the second term in the brackets:

(0.6)^4 - (0.5)^2 [(0.6)^2 - (0.5)^2]

Using the formula for the difference of two squares again, we can simplify the second term in the brackets:

(0.6)^4 - (0.5)^2 [(0.6 + 0.5)(0.6 - 0.5)]

Simplifying further:

(0.6)^4 - (0.5)^2 (1.1)(0.1)

Now we can substitute the values and evaluate:

(0.6)^4 - (0.5)^4 + (0.5)^2

= (0.1296) - (0.00625) + (0.25)

= 0.39335

Therefore, the answer is option B, 0.11.

To summarize, we used the formula for the difference of two squares to simplify the expression, and then substituted the values and evaluated to get the final answer.

Answer: Option D. -> 640/99
 -   6.46  = 6 + 0.46  = 6 +  46   =   594 + 46   =   640 . 99 99 99
