525

525

34.78%

 

Solution: Option D
Explanation:

If the question states x, y have to be distinct, then the best solution would be x = 350, y = 700, HCF = 350.

So the HCF is 525.

The question is "What is the maximum value of the HCF between x and y?"
Hence the answer is "525"

Choice D is the correct answer.

Solution: Option C

Explanation:

Any factor of this number should be of the form 2a * 5b * 7c.
For the factor to be an odd number,
a should be 0.
b can take values 0, 1, 2, 3.
and c can take values 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
Total number of odd factors = 4 * 5 = 20.

Let length of edge on along to Rocky's side = x

length of edge on along to Darwin's side = y

length of edge on along to James's side = z

xy = 4
xy could be 2 *2 or 4 * 1
221
222 These are the possible triangle sided fields.
223
441

22x will be a triangle if x is 1, 2 or 3 (trial and error).
44x is a triangle only if x is 1.
1. 221 is acute. 12 + 22 > 22
2. 222 is equilateral. So acute.
3. 223 is obtuse. 22 + 22 < 32
4. 144 is acute. 12 + 42 > 42

The question is " x, y, z are integer that are side of an obtuse-angled triangle potato shaped filed. If xy = 4, find z."
And so, the third side has to be 3

Hence, the answer is 3.

Solution: Option D

Explanation:
Let the total distance be x, then

[{(2/3) x }/6 ] + [{(1/3) x }/7 ] = 7/5
x/9 + x/21 = 7/5
7x = 63
x = 9
Therefore, total distance = 6 km

None of these

5.87%

Solution:10%
Explanation:
Given:
Sum of money amounts in 2 yrs = Rs. 2420
Sum of money amounts in 3 yrs = Rs. 2662
So, interest on Rs.2420 for 1 yr = 2662 - 2420
= Rs. 242
SI = PNR/100
242 = (2420 x 1 x R)/100
R = (242 x 100)/2420
R = 10%.

She asked, “We will be going to the national zoo, the next day.”

She said she would be going to the national zoo tomorrow.

While changing statements spoken in the direct speech into indirect speech, verbs such as ‘said’ is followed by ‘that’. Future continuous tense verb ‘will be going’ changes to past, ‘would be going’. The first person pronoun ‘we’ needs to be changed too, to third person ‘they’, also the time word ‘tomorrow’ changes to ‘the next day’ Thus, the given sentence can be written as, ‘She said that they would be going to the national zoo, the next day’. The other sentences are incorrect because they do not change the verbs. The first sentence and second sentences are in the direct sentence format, however both are incorrect as first uses ‘asked’ which should be used for a question

2. 222 is equilateral. So acute.
3. 223 is obtuse. 22 + 22 < 32
4. 144 is acute. 12 + 42 > 42

The question is " x, y, z are integer that are side of an obtuse-angled triangle potato shaped filed. If xy = 4, find z."
And so, the third side has to be 3

Hence, the answer is 3.

Solution:10%
Explanation:
Given:
Sum of money amounts in 2 yrs = Rs. 2420
Sum of money amounts in 3 yrs = Rs. 2662
So, interest on Rs.2420 for 1 yr = 2662 - 2420
= Rs. 242
SI = PNR/100
242 = (2420 x 1 x R)/100
R = (242 x 100)/2420
R = 10%.
