34958.A man can do a work in 3 days alone and a women can do the same work in 9 days alone. If both are work together in how many days they finished the same work.
$\dfrac{14}{9}$ days
6 days
2 $\dfrac{1}{4}$ days
3 $\dfrac{1}{2}$ days
Explanation:

Man's 1 day's work =1/3

Woman's 1 day's work =1/9

(Man +Woman)'s 1 day's work =$\dfrac{A\times B}{A+B}$

=$\dfrac{3\times9}{12}$

=$\dfrac{9}{4}=2\dfrac{1}{4}$

34960.Work in a fort 300 men had provisions for 90 days after 20 days 50 men left the fort. How long would the food last at the same rate?
160 days
210 days
84 days
80 days
Explanation:
After 20 days,the remaining food can be consumed by 300 boys for 70 days.
But,the no of boys reduced from 300 to 250.
therefore, 250 boys had food for X days.
Now, less boys, more days (Indirect proportion)
.'. 250 : 300::70 : X
=> 250*x =300*70
=> x = 300*70/250
=>84
34962.Simplify:
$\dfrac{\sqrt[3]{729}-\sqrt[3]{27}+\sqrt[2]{16}}{\sqrt[3]{512}+\sqrt[3]{343}-\sqrt[4]{256}}=$
$\dfrac{11}{10}$
$\dfrac{10}{11}$
$\dfrac{9}{10}$
$\dfrac{12}{11}$
Explanation:

$\dfrac{9-3+4}{8+7-4}=\dfrac{10}{11}$

34964.How many years will take certain amount to double at 8% interest per annum at simple interest?
13$\dfrac{1}{2}$ years
12$\dfrac{1}{2}$ years
10 $\dfrac{1}{2}$ years
9 years
Explanation:

Let Principal = P, then, Amount = 2P,T=?
Formula=T = (100 × S.I)/(P × R)

So , S.I. = A - P = 2P – P = P

T = (100 × S.I)/(P × R)
= ( 100 × P)/(P × 8)
= 25/2
= 12 $\dfrac{1}{2}$ years

34966.Surface Area of a hemisphere is 2772 cm2 then the total surface area of hemisphere is
4158 cm2
3172 cm2
3882 cm2
4258 cm2
Explanation:

surface area of hemisphere = 2772 cm²

2 Π r² = 2772

2 x (22/7) x r² = 2772

r² = 2772 x (1/2) x (7/22)

r² = 441

r = √21 x 21

r = 21

Total surface area of hemisphere = 3 Π r²

= 3 x (22/7) x (21)²

= 3 x (22/7) x (21) x (21)

= 3 x (22) x (3) x (21)

= 4158 cm²

Total surface area of sphere = 4158 cm²

34968.Choose the correct option to complete the alphabet letter series __ ABA__ CABC __DCBA __BAB_A
ABDCA
BCADC
ABCDD
CBDAA
Explanation:

The series is aababcabcddcbacbabaa.

Thus, the letters equidistant from the beginning and the end of series are the same.

34970.Simplify: $\dfrac{x+3}{x^{3}-1}\div\dfrac{3x+9}{x^{2}+x+1}$
$\dfrac{1}{3x+1}$
3x+1
3x-3
$\dfrac{1}{3x-3}$
Explanation:
By applying formula:
$x^3-y^3 = (x-y)(x^2+xy+y^2)$

$\dfrac{x+3}{(x-1)(x^{2}+x+1)}\times\dfrac{x^{2}+x+1}{3(x+3)}$

$=\dfrac{1}{3x-3}$

34972.Sasi purchased a house for ₹ 27,75,000 and spent ₹ 2,25,000 on its interior decoration. He sold the house to make a profit of 40%. What is the selling price of the house?
₹ 31,20,000
₹36,00,000
₹42,00,000
₹ 48,00,000
Explanation:
Purchased amount=Rs.27,75,000
Interior decoration=Rs.2,25,000

New total price=(27,75,000+2,25,000 )=Rs.3000000

using Formula,S.P=$\dfrac{100+profit%}{100 *C.P}$

=$\dfrac{100+40}{100 *3000000}$

=Rs.42,00,000
34974.Simplify: (1350 $\div$ 15 - 5) $\div$ (47.5 - 15 x 2.5)
85
10.5
10
8.5
Explanation:

(1350 ÷ 15 - 5) ÷ (47.5 - 15 x 2.5)

As per BODMAS rule,

=(90-5)/(47.5-37.5)

=85/10

=8.5
