Ques:- The price of sugar increases by 20%, by what % should a housewife reduce the consumption of sugar so that expenditure on sugar can be same as before ?(a) 15%(b) 16.66%(c) 12%(d) 9%
Recent Answer : Added by Rk On 2021-08-25 14:15:42:

(b) 16.66%

Earlier for ₹x we could purchase y gm of sugar.
Now we pay ₹1.2x for y gm of sugar

(As there was an increase in price so, x + 20%x = 1.2x)

At current rates for ₹x you can purchase y/1.2 gm of sugar

So the reduced consumption is y-(y/1.2)

Percentage change = (reduced consumption/ original consumption ) *100

That is (0.2/1.2) *100 = 16.66% (approx)

Ques:- Name some pvt banks
Ques:- A can do a job in 18 days and B can do it in 30 days. A and B working together will finish twice the amount of work in ——- days?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-29 17:11:51:

A & B one day work= 1/18 + 1/30= 8/90

As we know that number of work is 1

1÷8/90= 1*90/8= 90/8.

Since they say “ twice the amount of work

Then ,2*90/8= 22.5 days

Ques:- When x is real what is the least value of (x**2-6*x+5)/(x**2+2*x+1)
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:23:

(x**2 – 6* x + 5) = (x-1)*(x-5)
(x**2 + 2 * x + 1) = (x + 1) * (x+1) = (x+1)**2
For what x is (x-1)*(x-5)/( (x+1)**2) a minimum?
One way to answer this question is by using calculus.
Take the derivative, and set to zero.
Since this is a fraction of polynomials, and a fraction is
zero only if it’s numerator is zero, we need calculate only
the numerator of the derivative and set it to zero.
The numerator of the
Derivative of (x-1)*(x-5)/( (x+1)**2) is
( (x-1) + (x-5) ) ( x+1)**2 – (x-1)(x-5)( 2 (x+1) )
= (2 x – 6) (x+1)**2 – (2) (x-1)(x-5) (x+1)
= 0
Divide through by 2 (x+1)
(x-3)(x+1) – (x-1)(x-5) = 0
(x**2 – 2 x – 3 ) – (x**2 – 6 x + 5) = 0
x**2 – x**2 – 2 x + 6 x – 3 – 5 = 0
4 x – 8 = 0
x = 2
Plugging in x = 2 into the original
(x**2-6*x+5)/(x**2+2*x+1)
gives us (2**2 – 6 * 2 + 5)/(2**2 + 2*2 + 1)
= (4 – 12 + 5) / (4 + 4 + 1) = -3/9 = -1/3
Least value is -1/3

Ques:- Radius of sphere is increased by 50%. By how much percentage is surface area is increased?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 11:59:36:

let original radius=100
original surface area lets say it x =4 * (22/7) * 100 *100
new radius=100 + 50% of 100=150
new surface area lets say it y = 4 * (22/7)* 150* 150
increase in surface area=((y-x)/x) * 100
i.e.
((4*(22/7)*150*150 – 4*(22/7)*100 *100) / (4*(22/7)*100*100))*100
=125
so the answer is 125%.
hope this helps you.

Ques:- Joe is fencing in a square area of 576 square feet. Fence posts, which are needed every three feet, cost 32.00 each. The fencing cost 4.50 per foot. What is the total cost of the fencing materials?
Recent Answer : Added by Vivek Bharadwaj On 2022-08-14 16:33:40:

Joe is fencing in a square area of 576 square feet.
Fence posts, which are needed every three feet, cost 32.00 each.
The fencing cost 4.50 per foot. What is the total cost of the fencing materials?

Solution:-
Area of Square is 576 sq ft.
so, the length of side = root(576) = 24 ft

Since the fencing would be done on the perimeter, we would need that
formula is 4*side = 96 ft.

Number of Fence post needed = 96/3 = 32

1 Fence post cost = 32
32 Fence Post cost = 32 * 32 = 1024

Fencing cost = Perimeter * fencing cost = 96 * 4.5 = 432

Total Cost = 432 + 1024 = 1456

Ques:- Three thives were caught stealing sheep, mule and camel. A says ” B had stolen sheep ” C says ” B had stolen mule” B says he had stolen nothing. the one who had stolen horse is speaking truth.the one who had stolen camel is lying . Tell who had stolen what? give the steps …
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:04:29:

Had is correct ! Anil went in right direction but ended up
with wrong answers
Soln: B lied ( see anil’s comment ) which implies B has not
stolen mule. So B could steal camel or sheep.
1) Lets assume B stole camel.
In that case, A lies ( refer – A says “B had stolen sheep”
), which implies A had stolen sheep ( becoz a lier cant
steal mule ). So A->sheep B->camel C->mule. But this cant
happen because C cant lie ( refer – C says ” B had stolen
mule” ).
2) Lets assume B stole sheep.
In that case, A is true ( refer – A says “B had stolen
sheep” ), which implies A had stolen mule. So A->Mule
B->Sheep C->camel. Here C lies ( refer – C says ” B had
stolen mule” )
SO ANS: answer A- mule, B-sheep, C camel
