EXERCISE 4 (OBJECTIVE TYPE QUESTIONS SOLUTION IN 221 230)

221.       Let number of boys = X. then, number of girls = (60 – X).

     X (60 –X ) + (60 –X ) X = 1600   60X - X² + 60X - X² = 1600

     2X² - 120X + 1600 = 0   X² - 60X + 800 = 0.

     (X – 40) ( X – 20) = 0   x = 40 or X = 20.

                                  So, we are not definite. Hence, data is inadequate.

222.       Let the distance covered by taxi be X k. then, distance covered by car = (80 – X) km.

      1.5X + 0.5 (80 –X ) = 50    X = 50 – 40 = 10km.

223.       Let the distance covered by taxi be X. number of incorrect answers = (60 –X)

             4X = (60 – X)= 130       5X = 190   X = 38.

224.       Let number of matches lost = X. then, number of matches won = X + 3.

      2 – (X + 3 ) – X = 23    X = 17.

      Hence, total number of matches played =X + 9x + 3) =2X = 3= 37.

225.       Let the number of 20-paise coins be X. then, number of 25 –paise coins =(324 –X).

      0.20 x X + 0.25 ( 324 – X) = 71   20X + 25 (324 – X) = 7100

      5 X = 1000      X = 200.


     Hence, number of 25-paise coins = (324 – X) = 124.

226.       Let number of notes of each denomination be X.

     Then, x + 5X + 10X = 480    16X = 480     X = 30.

     Hence, total number of notes = 3X = 90.

227.       Original share of 1 person = 1/8.new share of 1 person = 1/7

     Increase = (1/7 – 18) = 1/56.

     Required fraction = (1 / 56) / (1/8) = (1/56 x 8) = 1/7.

228.       Let total number of sweets be X. Then,

      X/140 –X175 = 4     5X – 4X = 3 x 700         X = 2800.


229.       Let the number of persons be x. then,

     96/ X – 4 - 96 / X  =4     1/Z – 4  - !/z  = 4/96     Z – (Z-4) / Z (Z_4) = 1/24.

     X² + 5X – 150 = 0       ( X + 15) (X – 10) = 0    Z = 10.

230.   Let the number of balls purchased be x.

Then, 450 / X – 450 / X = 5 = 15     1Z – 1/Z + 5 = 15/ 450


X + 5 – X / X (X + 5)  = 1/30

X² + 5X – 150 = 0                ( X + 15) ( X – 10) = 0    Z = 10.
