Q1
Water flows into a tank 200 m × 150 m through a rectangular pipe of 1.5m × 1.25 m @ 20 kmph. In what time (in minutes) will the water rise by 2 metres?
- A. 48 min
B. 96 min
C. 108 min
D. 36 min
We know that, formula:
Volume of any Cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height
According to the given question:
[latex]\Rightarrow[/latex] Volume of the water required in the tank = (200 × 150 × 2) [latex]{m}^{3}[/latex] = 60000 [latex]{m}^{3}[/latex]
∴ Length of water column flown in1 min = [latex] \frac {(20 × 1000)}{60} m = \frac {1000}{3}[/latex] m
∴ Volume flown per minute = [latex]1.5 × 1.25 × (\frac {1000}{3}) {m}^{3} = 625 {m}^{3} [/latex]
∴ Required time = [latex](\frac {60000}{625}) min = 96 min.[/latex]
Hence, the required answer is 96 minutes.
Q2
Area of a square is given as 12800 sq miles, find the time taken by a lady to move across a diagonal with speed of 15 miles per hour.
- A. 8 hours
B. 9 hours
C. 8.5 hours
D. 10.66 hours
We have, area of a square = 12800 sq miles.
Hence [latex]{(side)}^{2} = 12800[/latex]
Side = [latex]\sqrt {12800}[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow[/latex] Side = 80[latex]\sqrt {2}[/latex]
We know that diagonal of a square = [latex]\sqrt {2}[/latex]× side
= [latex]\sqrt {2}[/latex] × 80 [latex]\sqrt {2}[/latex]
= 160 miles.
Hence we know that speed = [latex]\frac {distance}{time}[/latex]
Time = [latex]\frac {distance}{speed}[/latex]
Time = [latex]\frac {160}{15}[/latex]
= 10.66 miles/hr.
Q3
A sphere of radius 2 cms is dropped into a cylinder of radius 4 cms containing water upto 2.2 cms. The raise in the water level is?
- A. 0.67 cms
B. 0.90 cms
C. 0.77 cms
D. 0.80 cms
We know that
Volume of sphere = [latex](\frac {4}{3})π{r}^{3}[/latex]
Where r = radius of sphere
Volume of cylinder = [latex]π{R}^{2}H[/latex]
Where R = radius of cylinder
H = height of cylinder
Let h = raise height of water in cylinder
∵ Volume of water displaced in cylinder = volume of sphere
∴[latex]π{R}^{2}H = (\frac {4}{3})π{r}^{3}[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow {4}^{2} × h = \frac {4}{3} × {2}^{3}[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow h = \frac {2}{3} cms = 0.67 [/latex]cms
Q4
The volume and the radius of both cone and sphere are equal, then find the ratio of height of the cone to the diameter of the sphere?
- A. 2 : 3
B. 3 : 2
C. 2 : 1
D. 1 : 2
Volume of cone = [latex](\frac {1}{3})π{r}^{2}h[/latex]
Where r = radius of cone
Volume of sphere = [latex](\frac {4}{3})π{r}^{3}[/latex]
Where R = radius of sphere
According to the question
R = r and
[latex](\frac {1}{3})π{r}^{2}h = (\frac {4}{3})π{r}^{3}[/latex]
[latex]\Rightarrow[/latex] h = 4 × R = 2 × D (∵ 2 × R = diameter of sphere = D)
[latex]\Rightarrow \frac{h}{D} = \frac {2}{1}[/latex]
Q5
A rectangular carpet has an area of 120 sq metres and a perimeter of 46 metres. The length of its diagonal (in metres) is:
- A. 11
B. 13
C. 15
D. 17
We know that
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b)
Area of rectangle = l × b
Diagonal of rectangle = [latex]\sqrt{ ({l}^{2} + {b}^{2})}[/latex]
Where l = length of rectangle
b = breadth of rectangle
According to the question
2 (l + b) = 46 m
[latex]\Rightarrow[/latex] l + b = 23 m ………… (1)
And
l × b = 120 [latex]{m}^{2}[/latex] ………… (2)
Solving equation (1) and (2) we get
l = 15 m
b = 8 m
∴ Diagonal of rectangle = [latex]\sqrt{ ({15}^{2} + {8}^{2})} = \sqrt{ (225 + 64)}[/latex]
= [latex]\sqrt {289} = 17 [/latex]m
