Question 81.  Given that p 1. What is the minimum value of p2+625p2?
  1.    5
  2.    10
  3.    25
  4.    50
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 50
:
D
The minimum value will occur when p2=625p2
p4=625p=5
Putting the value of p in the equation, min value =p4=625p=5=25+62525=25+25=50
Question 82. A rice trader sells one type of rice at Rs 2.70 per kg and loses 10%. He sells another type of rice at 4.5/kg and gains 1212%. His objective is to mix these two types and sell the mixture at 3.95/kg and get a profit of 25%. What should be the ratio of quantities of rice mixed?
  1.    23:6       
  2.    84:16
  3.    6:1
  4.    None of these

Answer: Option B. -> 84:16
:
B
This question can be solved using alligation. For alligation; remember to always consider the cost price only.
Selling Price (SP)
Cost Price (CP)
SP of rice 1 = 2.70/kg CP (rice 1) = 2.70.9 = 3/kg
SP of rice 2 = 4.5/kg CP (rice 2) = 4.51.125 = 4/kg
SP of mixture = 3.95/kg CP (mixture) = 3.951.25 = 3.16/kg
A Rice Trader Sells One Type Of Rice At Rs 2.70 Per kg And ...
Required Ratio = 84:16

Solving, we get (4x + 3)×3+2 = 71 x=5.
Question 84. If x, y, z are positive numbers such that  x + [y] + {z} = 3.8, [x] + {y} + z = 3.2, {x} + y + [z] = 2.2, where [p] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to p and {p} denotes the fractional part of p. E.g. [1.23] = 1, {1.23} = 0.23 = 23100. The numerical value of [x2+y2+z2] is -

Answer: Option C. -> 9
:
C
Adding the three equations we get, 2(x+y+z)=9.2x+y+z=4.6.
Subtracting first eq. from the above eq. we get {y}+[z]=0.8{y}=0.8 and [z]=0.
Subtracting second eq. from the above eq. {x}+[y]=1.4{x}=0.4 and [y]=1.
Subtracting third eq. from the above eq. [x]+{z}=2.4[x]=2 and {z}=0.4.
x=2.4,y=1.8 and z=0.4.
Hence, choice (c) is the right answer.
Question 85. The number of different 12-letter arrangements that can be made from the letters of the word 'BYJUSCLASSES' so that all vowels do not occur together is 10!4! × A  Find the value of 'A'. Given 'A' is a three digit natural number.
Ans: ___.
 Discuss Question

:
There are 12 letters, in which 'S' appears 4 times and 3 vowels are A,E,U.
Take all vowels (AUE) as a single object
So number of permutations when vowels occur together =10!4! × 3!
Arrangements of 12 letters take all at atime =12!4!
Required arrangements when al vowels do not occur together
=12!4! - 10!4! × 3!
=10!4! (12 × 11 -6)
=10!4! × 126
A = 126

The above diagram is self-explanatory. 180-4x+x+y=180
Hence y=3x, k=3.
Question 87. How many natural number solutions are there for the equation, A+B+C = 100?
  1.    99C2
  2.    99C3          
  3.    101C2     
  4.    99C99
  5.    Cannot be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 99C2
:
A
Natural number solutions means each of A,B and C can take a value ≥ 1
This is a Similar to Different question, with a lower limit condition. (Refer ebooklet for indepth explanation)
To take care of the condition, that we are dealing with natural numbers,
give A,B &C 1 initially
(A+1)+(B+1)+(C+1)=100
Thus, this reduces to A+B+C=97.
This question is now based on arrangement of 97 zeroes and 2 ones=99C2
The answer is 99C2 which is option (a)
Question 88. The numbers x,y,z are proportional to 2,3,5. The sum of x,y and z is 100. The number y is given by the equation y = ax - 10. Then 'a' is___
 Discuss Question

:
x : y: z: :2 : 3 : 5
x=2y3 and z=5y3
x+y+z=100
2y3+y+5y3=100
y= 30 & x=20
But y= ax-10
30 = 20a - 10
​a=2
Question 89. How many solutions are there for the equation A+B+3C = 10 if A,B,C are whole numbers?
  1.    22
  2.    25
  3.    24
  4.    14
  5.    Cannot be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 25
:
B
It is given that A,B and C can take values ≥0
Give values to C from 0 to 3
At C=0, the equation changes to A+B=10. Number of solutions will be based onarrangement of 10 zeroes and 1 one = 11C1= 11
At C=1, the equation changes to A+B=7. Number of solutions=8C1=8
At C=2, the equation changes to A+B=4. Number of solutions=5C1=5
At C=3, the equation changes to A+B=1. Number of solutions=2C1=1
Total number of solutions = 11+8+5+1 = 25
