10. A tank has a leak, which would empty it in 8 hours. A tap is turned on which fills at the rate of 4
liters per minute and the tank is now emptied in 12 hours. Find the capacity of the tank.
a) 5670 lit
b) 5760 lit
c) 6570 lit
d) 6750 lit

1. (1)
1200 2.5 = 480
480 2.5 = 192
192 2.5 = 76.8
76.8 2.5 = 30.72
30.72 2.5 = 12.288
? = 12.288 2.5 = 4.9152
2. (3)
963 1 x 36 = 963 36 = 927
927 - 2 x 36 = 927 72 = 855
855 3 x 36 = 855 108 = 747
747 4 x 36 = 747 144 = 603
603 5 x 36 = 603 180 = 423
? = 423 6 x 36 = 423 216
= 207
3. (2)
29 x 29 = 841
31 x 31 = 961
33 x 33 = 1089
35 x 35 = 1225
37 x 37 = 1369
39 x 39 = 1521
? = 41 x 41 = 1681
4. (4)
18 x 1 + 2 = 18 + 2 = 20
20 x 2 + 4 = 40 + 4 = 44
44 x 3 + 6 = 132 + 6 = 138
138 x 4 + 8 = 552 + 8 = 560
560 x 5 + 10 = 2800 + 10 = 2810
? = 2810 x 6 + 12 = 16860 + 12
= 16872
5. (2) : 6 x 5 4 = 26
26 x 5 + 4 = 134
134 x 5 4 = 666
666 x 5 + 4 = 3334
3334 x 5 4 = 16666
16666 x 5 + 4 = 83334
6. (3 ) : Total weight of (36+44) Students = (36x40+44x35)kg = 2980kg
Therefore average weight of the whole class = (2980/80) kg
Therefore average weight = 37.25kg
7. (3) : Total sum of 48 numbers = (50 30) (35 +40)
= 1500 75= 1425
Average = 1425/48
= 29.68
8. (3) : Since each one of the three numbers a, b, and c is divisible by 3, the numbers can be represented as 3p,3q,
and 3r, respectively, where p, q, and r are integers.

The product of the three numbers is 3p3q3r=27(pqr).

Since p, q, and r are integers, pqr is an integer and therefore abc is divisible by 27.
9. let p/q=a then q/p=1/a
a - (1/a)=21/10
(a^2 -1)/a=21/10
10(a^2)-10=21a
10(a^2)-10-21a=0
10(a^2)-25a+4a-10=0
5a(2a-5)+2(2a-5)=0
5a+2=0 ; 2a-5=0
2a-5=0
a=5/2
=>4(5/2)+4(2/5)
(20/2)+(8/5)
(100+16)/10
=>58/5

10. according to the question,

1/8 * 1/x = 1/12
solving we get,
x = 24
so total capacity is,
24*4*60 = 5760 lt..

In 1 minute a tap fill the tank 4 litre

so,in 8 hours=(8*60)minute=480 minute a tap fill the tank (480*4)=1920 litre.
according to question 1920 litre will be emptied in 8 hours.
so,in 12 hours it will be emptied 2880 litre.
again,the tap fill the tank 4 litre in 1 minute.
so,in 12 hours=720 minutes the tap fill the tank (720*4)=2880 litre
so,according to question as the two works(filling the tank & empty the tank) are going on in 12
hours,so the capacity of the tank=(2880+2880)litre=5760litre
