Q. A gold ornament weighs 16 g with gold:copper = 3:1. How many grams of pure gold must be added to make the ratio 4:1 ? āĻĒā§ā§°āĻļā§āύ: āĻāϟāĻž āϏ⧋āĻŖā§° āĻ…āϞāĻ‚āĻ•āĻžā§°ā§° āĻ“āϜāύ 16 g āφ⧰⧁ āϏ⧋āĻŖ : āϤāĻžāĻŽ = 3 : 1āĨ¤ āĻ…āύ⧁āĻĒāĻžāϤ 4 : 1 āϕ⧰āĻŋāĻŦāϞ⧈ āĻ•āĻŋāĻŽāĻžāύ āĻ—ā§ā§°āĻžāĻŽ āĻ–āĻžāρāϟāĻŋ āϏ⧋āĻŖ āϝ⧋āĻ— āϕ⧰āĻŋāĻŦ āϞāĻžāĻ—āĻŋāĻŦ ?


Soln:


Let gold to copper = 3 : 1
→ Total parts = 4


So,
Gold = (3/4) × 16 = 12 g
Copper = (1/4) × 16 = 4 g


Let x g of pure gold be added.
Then new ratio = (12 + x) : 4 = 4 : 1


(12 + x) / 4 = 4 / 1
12 + x = 16
x = 4 g


Ans: Add 4 grams of gold.

Soln:
Let Karim’s salary = 7x and Rahim’s salary = 5x.
According to the question:
7x – 5x = 400
2x = 400
x = 200


Rahim’s salary = 5 × 200 = ₹1000


Ans: Rahim’s salary = ₹1000

Soln:


·  Numbers starting with 2: 200–299 → 100 numbers


·  Numbers ending with 2: 102, 112, 122, …, 292 → 20 numbers


·   Numbers counted twice (both start with 2 and end with 2): 202, 212, …, 292 → 10 numbers


Total numbers = 100 + 20 – 10 = 110


Ans: 110


Q: In a school, each student is assigned a unique ID number from 1 to 100.


·  A student plays football if and only if their ID is divisible by 4.


·  A student plays cricket if and only if their ID is divisible by 6.


How many students play both football and cricket ?


Soln:


Find numbers divisible by both 4 and 6



  • LCM of 4 and 6 = 12

  • So, students playing both → multiples of 12


List multiples of 12 up to 100
12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96


Count them : Total = 8


Ans: 8 students

Options:



  1. Always less

  2. Always greater

  3. Always equal

  4. Cannot say


Ans: Always greater


Example:



  • Take a proper fraction: 2 / 5 ​

  • Increase numerator and denominator by 1: 2+1/5+1 = 3/6 =0.5

  • Original fraction 2 / 5 = 0.4

  • New fraction 0.5 > 0.40

Soln :



  • Difference per student = ₹3

  • Old students = 12

  • Total after joining = 12 + 13 = 25

  • Number of new students = 13


Original Total Expense = Difference per student × Old students × Total students after joining / Number of new students


Substitute numbers:


Original Total Expense = 3 × 12 × 25 / 13 = 900 / 13 ≈ 69


Ans: ₹69 per day


    Q. 0.2Ė…5 bar on 5 (that is 0.25555…)


0.25 bar on 5  = 0.2 + 0.05 bar on 5  = 1/5 + 1/18 = 23/90


Short Trick:
“Subtract, then divide by 9 and 0 rule”
0.ab‾ bar on b = (ab−a)/90


Q. 0.375 bar on 75 = ?


Fraction = (Number without decimal)(Number before repeating part) / 2 nines _Same number of 9’s as repeating digits​​ + 1 zero_ Same number of 0’s as non-repeating digits​​


Number without decimal = 375
Number before repeating part = 3, Here 75 repeating no


So the number = 0.375 bar on 75


Fraction = 375 - 3 / 990


Simplify:


372 / 990 = 62 / 165


Answer: 0.375‾=62 / 165


Short trick memory:
If bar on two digits after one non-repeating digit → 0.abc bar on two digits : 0.abc = (abc - a) / 9900


Q. 0.67 (bar only on 7) = ?


 Identify parts


·         Non-repeating part = 6


·         Repeating part = 7


     Number = 0.67 bar on 7


Fraction = (Number without decimal)(Number before repeating part) / 2 nines _Same number of 9’s as repeating digits​​ + 1 zero_ Same number of 0’s as non-repeating digits


Apply it


Number without decimal = 67
Number before repeating part = 6


Repeating digits = 1 → one 9
Non-repeating digits = 1 → one 0


Fraction = 67 − 6 / 90 = 61 / 90


Answer = 61 / 90


Short Trick:
If bar on one digit after one non-repeating digit →0.ab bar on b = (ab-a) / 90

Q. Find the sum of numbers from 1 to 35.


Soln.
We know,
Sum of first n natural numbers = n(n + 1) / 2


Here, n = 35


So,
= 35 × (35 + 1) / 2
= 35 × 36 / 2
= 35 × 18
= 630


Therefore, the sum of numbers from 1 to 35 = 630....
