7th october Gre Quants Question

1. In a group of men and women, 1/3 are men. If 2 women leave the group, then men will be 2/5 of the group. How many members are there in the group?

2. The value of (5sqrt2+sqrt3)(sqrt2-sqrt3) = ?

3. If a < 0 < b < c, then
Col A: ac/b
Col B: ac

4.

Given a figure like above, here PQRS is a square of length 10 and the line VT is the perpendicular to the diameter of the semicircle PQ and it is also given that PU = 2, then find the length of VT?

5. Given 2 < a < 5 < b < 8 and if the average of 3, 6, 9, a, b is 6.2, then find the value of a + b?

6. Given that an investment of a company in 1990 has increased by 15% in a span of 5years i.e. by 1995 and the same investment increased by 30% in a span of 10years i.e. by 2000.
Col A: The percentage increase from 1995 to 2000
Col B: 15%

7.

Given a square PQRS with side length 8 as above and ‘Q’, ‘S’ points are centers of the circles. Find the area of the shaded region?

8. If the below lines are plotted
x + y = 5 &
2x + 2y = 8
Col A: The shortest distance between the lines
Col B: 1

9. Given two circles that are concentric having radii 2, 5. If the tangent to the smaller circle intersects the bigger circle at ‘S’ and ‘T’, then find the length of ‘ST’?

10. If a < 0 & b > 0, then
Col A: a^-7 * b^-2
Col B: (a*b)^-14

11. A Data interpretation question is given, with the data about “The Available number of rooms in Top 12 hotels in a city” and the questions asked were….
i. The Ratio of available rooms of 3 large hotels to the total rooms in a city.
ii. The median value of the number of rooms of the 12 hotels.

sorry 2nd one is 7-4root6....
8th ...the lines are parallel so the distance between the parallel line is
(c1-c2)/root(a2+b2)...hope u got it.???????

hey pavan explain me the 9th question...?

still feel hazy....explain me the 8th in detail....

5)(3+6+9+a+b)/5=6.2
solve it u will get a+b=13

the condition for the 5th question 2 < a < 5 < b < 8 is wrong i think......

9)
draw a tangent to the smaller circle which cuts the lager one at S and T....thenmark the centre a O....join OS and OT....mark the point which touch the circle as U.....join OU.....take traingle OUT...by pythogoras theorem OT2=OU2+UT2......THEN U GET UT=ROOT 21...........
therefore ST=SU+UT....ST=2*ROOT21......
HOPE THIS IS CORRECT....CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG.........draw the diagram u will get it easily.........i couldnt draw the diagram here.....

Hi to everybody...
can any one explain me abt the9th ques on oct 7th thread....and the ans for...10th ques of oct 7th shud be A..since..a<0...hey..pavanj and pradeey cheeck it out once....

Anonymous said...

hii subrahmanyam.... col a will be negative always and col b will be positive.....so the answer is B...hope u got it...

my answers:
1. 12
2. 7-5sqrt(3)+sqrt(6)
3. D
4. 14
5. 13
6. B
7. 64-8pi
8. the distance is sqrt(2)/2, so answer is B
9. 2*sqrt(21)
10. B
correct me if I'm wrong

in the group 1/3 are men, so men: women=1:2
so: x/(3x-2)=2/5
x=4
total number is 12

Anonymous said...

et the group be G

men = (1/3) G

when two women left New G = G-2

now men will be (2/5) of new G

ie ) (1/3)G = (2/5) * ( G-2 )

on solving u end up with G=12 .....hope i helped....

1.)(2/3)x-2=(3/5)(x-2)=>x=12

2.)7-4*6^1/2

3.)D

sorry guys 8th answer is 2^1/2 i.e. is 1.414 ans. will be a

can someone explain 6th and 7th,please???
thank u so much~~

why 4th is "14" rather than"4"?
could someone explain it?
