Question 113
The price of a bottle of cold drink is 10. One bottle of cold drink can also be bought by returning 10 empty bottles. A person has 1,000 and 19 empty bottles. What will be the number of empty bottles he possesses at the end if he buys maximum number of bottles of cold drink and consumes all?
Result
Explanation:
1. Initial buy: ₹1000 buys 100 bottles. Total empty bottles now: 100 + 19 = 119. 2. Exchange 1: 110 empty bottles get 11 new bottles. 9 empty bottles remain. 3. Consume & Exchange 2: Consume 11, making 9 + 11 = 20 empty. Exchange 20 for 2 new bottles. 0 empty remain. 4. Consume & Final: Consume 2, leaving a final total of 2 empty bottles.
Question 114
If the radius of the new spherical container is double the radius of the old spherical container, then the ratio of the volume of the new container and the volume of the old container is
Result
Explanation:
The volume of a sphere is proportional to the cube of its radius (V ∝ r3). If the new radius (rnew) is double the old radius (rold), so rnew = 2rold. The new volume will be (23) = 8 times the old volume. Therefore, the ratio is 8:1.
Question 115
A container is filled with 300 litres of hydrogen gas. The first day it loses 100 litres of hydrogen gas and everyday it loses one-third of the volume it lost in the previous day. Then the container...
Result
Explanation:
The total amount of gas lost forms an infinite geometric series: 100 + 100/3 + 100/9 + ... The sum of this series is S = a / (1 - r) = 100 / (1 - 1/3) = 100 / (2/3) = 150 litres. This is the maximum amount of gas that can ever be lost. Therefore, the container will always have at least 300 - 150 = 150 litres remaining.
Question 116
The area of the smallest circle which contains a square of area 4 cm2 inside is
Result
Explanation:
If a square has an area of 4 cm2, its side length is 2 cm. The diameter of the smallest circle containing this square is equal to the diagonal of the square. Diagonal = 22+22 = 8 = 2$sqrt{2}$ cm. The radius of the circle is half the diameter, r = 2 cm. The area of the circle = πr2 = π(2)2 = 2$pi$ cm2.
Question 117
Three persons A, B and C run a business together and their shares are 17%, 37% and 46% respectively. Any profit they earn is distributed according to the proportion of their shares. If the difference of the profits of B and A on a given date is 1,000, what is the profit of C on that day?
Result
Explanation:
The difference in profit share between B and A is 37% - 17% = 20%. This 20% of the total profit equals ₹1,000. Let the total profit be P. Then 0.20 * P = 1000, so P = 5000. C's profit is 46% of the total profit: 0.46 * 5000 = ₹2,300.
Question 118
The circumference of a circle is 2π cm. Then the area of a square inscribed in the circle is
Result
Explanation:
Given Circumference C = 2πr = 2π cm, the radius r must be 1 cm. The diameter of the circle is 2r = 2 cm. For an inscribed square, the diameter of the circle is equal to the diagonal of the square. The area of a square is (diagonal²)/2. Therefore, Area = (22)/2 = 4/2 = 2 cm2.
