Question 61

In a class of 100 students, 73 like coffee, 80 like tea and 52 like lemonade. It may be possible that some students do not like any of these three drinks. Then the difference between the maximum and minimum possible number of students who like all the three drinks is

Video Solution

Solution

Let n, s, d and t be the number of students who likes none of the drinks, exactly one drink, exactly 2 drinks and all three drinks, respectively.

It is given,

n + s + d + t = 100 ...... (1)

s + 2d + 3t = 73 + 80 + 52

s + 2d + 3t = 205 ...... (2)

(2)-(1), we get

d + 2t - n = 105

Maximum value t can take is 52, i.e. t = 52, d = 1 and n = 0

Minimum value t can take is 5, i.e. t = 5, d = 95 and n = 0 (This also satisfies equation (1))

Difference = 52 - 5 = 47

The answer is option A.

Question 62

Let ABCD be a parallelogram such that the coordinates of its three vertices A, B, C are (1, 1), (3, 4) and (−2, 8), respectively. Then, the coordinates of the vertex D are

Video Solution

Solution

In a parallelogram, two diagonals of parallelogram bisects each other, which concludes that mid-point of both diagonals are the same.

Midpoint of AC = $$\left(\ \frac{\ 1-2}{2},\ \frac{\ 1+8}{2}\right)$$

Let the coordinates of vertex D be (x,y)

$$\left(\ \frac{\ x+3}{2},\ \frac{\ y+4}{2}\right)=\left(\ \frac{\ 1-2}{2},\ \frac{\ 1+8}{2}\right)$$

x = -4 and y = 5

The answer is option D.

Question 63

For natural numbers x, y, and z, if xy + yz = 19 and yz + xz = 51, then the minimum possible value of xyz is

Video Solution

Solution

It is given, y(x + z) = 19

y cannot be 19.

If y = 19, x + z = 1 which is not possible when both x and z are natural numbers.

Therefore, y = 1 and x + z = 19

It is given, z(x + y) = 51

z can take values 3 and 17

Case 1:

If z = 3, y = 1 and x = 16

xyz = 3*1*16 = 48

Case 2:

If z = 17, y = 1 and x = 2

xyz = 17*1*2 = 34

Minimum value xyz can take is 34.

Question 64

Alex invested his savings in two parts. The simple interest earned on the first part at 15% per annum for 4 years is the same as the simple interest earned on the second part at 12% per annum for 3 years. Then, the percentage of his savings invested in the first part is

Video Solution

Solution

Let the savings invested in first part and second part be 'x' and 'y', respectively.

It is given,

$$\ \frac{\ x\times15\times4}{100}=\ \frac{\ y\times12\times3}{100}$$

60x = 36y

5x = 3y

Required percentage = $$\frac{x}{x+y}\times100=\frac{3}{3+5}\times100=37.5\%$$

The answer is option A.

Question 65

Pinky is standing in a queue at a ticket counter. Suppose the ratio of the number of persons standing ahead of Pinky to the number of persons standing behind her in the queue is 3 : 5. If the total number of persons in the queue is less than 300, then the maximum possible number of persons standing ahead of Pinky is

Video Solution

Solution

Let the number of persons standing ahead and behind of Pinky be 3a and 5a.

Total number of persons = 3a + 5a + 1(including pinky) = 8a + 1

8a + 1 < 300

8a < 299

a < 37.375

Maximum value a can take is 37.

The maximum possible number of persons standing ahead of Pinky = 3a = 3*37 = 111

Question 66

For any real number x, let [x] be the largest integer less than or equal to x. If $$\sum_{n=1}^N \left[\frac{1}{5} + \frac{n}{25}\right] = 25$$ then N is

Video Solution

Solution

It is given,

$$\Sigma_{n=1}^N\ \left[\frac{1}{5}+\frac{n}{25}\right]=25$$

$$\Sigma_{n=1}^N\ \left[\frac{5+n}{25}\right]=25$$

For n = 1 to n = 19, value of function is zero.

For n = 20 to n = 44, value of function will be 1.

44 = 20 + n - 1

n = 25 which is equal to given value.

This implies N = 44
