1. Sum of two numbers x, y = 1050. What is the maximum value of the HCF between x and y?

350

700

700

19.57%

1050

1050

20.52%

525

525

34.07%

 

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.

21.94%

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.

More than one possible value of z exists

More than one possible value of z exists

37.41%

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

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.

4. Devesh can cover a certain distance in 1 hour 24 minutes by covering two-third of the distance at 6 km/hour and the rest at 7 km/hr. Calculate total distance.

7/5 km

7/5 km

23.42%

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

5.57%

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%.
