9.fresh fruit contains 72%water and dryfruit contains 20% water .how much dry fruit from

100 popunds of fresh fruit can be obtained

cud u pls explain Q5

1) N=93
so N>90 or N>50
so both the options are true


2) As per the series.....the 67th number is 35
so A is greater


3) we dnt hav anything to do with area of a asquare or area of unshaded region......the sol is obtaind by calculating the area of unshaded area alone
it can be done =(area of a circle-area of the arc)
=pi(r*r)/2 - (angle/360)*pi(r*r)
HERE r=x/2 and angle=45deg


4) 9a+3b+c=25
=> 9*2+3*2+1=25
=> a=2,b=2,c=1.
=> a+b+c+=5


5) s(n)=1/3 for even n s(n)=-1/3 for odd values of n.....so 2^(-1/3)-3^(1/3)



6) 1feet=12 inches
so length = 48*12=576inch n width=10*12=120....
so nof tiles =576*120=1080
so 4r pack dr will b 100tiles.....
so no of packs 4r 1080 are approximately=11


7)as it is given x*y>0...it implies dt x&y are either +ve or -ve....
it is also given dt y>0
so x must also b a +ve number so we will gt many no.of solutions......


CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG...THANK U

NUMBERS WRONGLY ORDERD

IF A 4GT THE 7TH.....SO SEE DT THE ans GIVEN TO 7TH IS THE ANS 4R 8TH QSTN.....


7TH ANS IS .........four consecutive numbers...least is X....


so the numbers are......X,X+1,X+2,X+3.

so the mean is X+3/2

@@@@ manoj


9) sorry dude i didnt gt it


10) x%=10.5%.....so A is corrct to it.

(600*10.5)/100 = 63

63*2 = 126.........so 600+126=726

11) A=(P*N*R)/100

HERE IN D PROBLM A=2P.....N=1.....

SO R=200....SO R%=2%

12) I THINK THE DATA IS INSUFFICIENT...U SHLD HAV GIVEN NO.OF BIRDS...I THINK

13) SORRY I DID NT GT D ANS 4R DS TOOO....


THANKS DUDE...PLZ SAY ME D ans IF ANY ONE GTS

@@@MANOJ

12) IF DR ARE 6 BIRDS AND IF THERE ARE 5 BRANCHES THEN TWO BRANCHES WILL B LEFT IF BIRDS SIT TWO TO A BRANCH....I THINK U GT THE ANS.........

hello sreekanth,
plz check #1 i thnk da answer is N=21 or 63 and not 93.double means 2 times and not square. so da most valid answer is 30< N or N >50.

#8 i am getting (4x+6)/4=2(2x+3)/4 = 2x+3/2

plz chek

Anonymous said...

manoj,
m not sure but i thnk da answer to #9 is 5.6 pounds of dry fruit from 100 pounds of fresh fruits

i m nt very confident but plz chek

Anonymous said...

manoj, da answer 2 #1 is 48 pounds.
sorry for da mistake above.
plz correct if wrong

congrats SREEKANTHROCKS for a detailed soln..........everyone will appreciate this for next set of updates also.....pls do provide soln...... but for Q1 i think ans is 21 or 63 and for Q2 ans C..........pls check.......correct me if i'm wrong........

HELLO @@@@tuffgre@@@@


thanks 4r making the correction.u r r8 with the #1 qstn.
but plz verify the #7.....4 consect no....X,X+1,X,+2,X+3
so mean=(X+(X+1)+(X+2)+(X+3))/4
=(4X+6)/4
=X+3/2

Anonymous said...

HELLO @@@1400mytrgt@@@


THANKS 4R MAKING THE CORRECTION......u r rt.....it is 34...so ans is C........

HI @@@@manoj

so the probs will b solvd in the following way
A=(P*N*R%)
AS per the probs A=20P....
20P=(P*N*R%)
N=1yr
so R%=20
SO THE ANS WILL b..A IS GREATER

so that radius is increased by 4inches, then the volume of new sphere is how many times greater than the volume of old sphere----
answe is 208 pla explain....

5. if a coin is tosses 25 times
