x,y,z are in continued proportion implies........

x/y=y/z

hence, xz=y^2 (cross multiplication)

xz/x^2=y^2/x^2 (dividing both sides of equation by x^2)

z/x=y^2/x^2

thatz it,

z:x=y^2:x^2

answer is a)z:x=y^2:x^2

THANX..

Answer is c -4.

Solution - When we take ten different sets of 2 digit no, where difference between them is 10, then it will be like ( 11,21,31...91) or 13,23,33,43,..93) and so on.

So unit digit will be same.

Tens digit will increse by 1, starting from 1 and ending at 9.

Suppose, x is unit digit.

Then nos are 1x,2x,3x..9x

Sum is 10*(1+2+3..+9) +9x

= 450+9x.......................................Eq 1

Nos chosen by student

x1,x2...x9

Sum = 10*9x +(1+2+3....+9)

= 90X+45.....................................Eq 2

Now Eq1=Eq2

450+9x=90x+45

81x = 405

x = 5

Now first original no is 1x......ie 15.

So positive difference is 5-1 = 4

Thus C is answer.

Hope i made it clear

here were some containers of quantity 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 12, 15, 22, 24, 38 liters. Each was filled with some liquid except one. The liquids are milk, water and oil. Quantity of each was like this. Water = 2* milk oil = 2* water. Find out which container was empty and containers filled with milk and oil.

Sol:

Let milk=x

water=2x

oil=4x.

Sum of their quantities=7x lit.

Sum of the quantities of the containers=130

That implies,

7x=130

Since, one container is empty, the container's quantity would be 4 lit.

(130/7= 18 and the remainder would be 4.)

So,

7x=126

x=18

Therefore,

milk=18 lit.

water=36 lit.

oil= 72 lit.

dear all, and Ganesan,

I think the ans is 90?

from 50 to 60 cost per head decreases by 15/-. so , it becomes 205 per head. therefore to get to 160, one needs to keep adding 10 members till the amt per head decreases from 205 to 160 and decreasing 15/- each time they add 10 more members...

doing so, u go from 50 to 90 members, each paying 160/-

let fixed cost be F, variable cost be V.

F+ 50*V= 220*50; eq(1)

F+ 60*V=205*60 eq(2)

from (1) & (2) , we get

F= 4500 & V=130 ;

let members be X;

F+ 130*X= X*160 ;

thus X=150 ;

members equals to 150..

I have solved the problem using the relation
Variable cost + Fixed charges = Total money collected

Assume that the fixed charges for the yoga class is 'x'
From the first condition
Total money collected = 50*220=11000
The variable cost per member would be = (11000-x)/50

Hence from the second condition
Total money collected = 60*205
  ((11000-x)/50)*60  +  x  = 60*205
from here x = 4500

Now from the third condition
let the no of members be N
((11000-4500)/50)*N + 4500 = 160N
From here N = 150

Hope I have explained it Clearly

so 10 other ditricts pop = 10*1.1x = 11x

total population = x+11x = 132000

x= 11000

Solution:
answer is 11,000

say least possible population is x,
which is possible when all other districts hav max. possible
population, that is, just 10% more thn x, i.e 1.1x
so, total population= 1.1x*10+x = 132,000
=>12*x = 132,000;
=>x = 11,000
which is the answer.

the answer is 11000 because when we take equal populations for all districts the population comes out to be 12000.so,now if you consider the option given only 11000 leaves us with a population of 121000 which has to be divided into 10 districts.so,if we take equal distribution the population of remaining district comes out to be 12100 which is exactly 10% greater than trhe min and hence just acceptable.any lower option wont satisfy this criteria

sarsij_bit

hi!
Here is the solution, with steps involved

Let the constant part of the expenses be 'C'. and let the variable part be (No of people * K) K is a constant which gives the expenses per person apart from the constant expenses part

so the 1st equation is
C + 50*K = 220*50 (220*50 is the total cost born by the whole group)
and the 2nd equation is
C + 60*K = 205*60

solving these equations we get C = 4500 and K = 130

Hence to get a per person expenses of 160, the number of people participating should be 150

Hope things are clear

Subject: Re: [Ascent CAT] Re: Doubt In Simple Equations

jaysuryadeb

Solution:

Let x be the variable amount per head. Let n be the no. of heads.

We can understand that x varies inversely with n. ie.

x=k/n

k=constant of proportionality

therefore, we can write nx =k ----------(1)

Now we are given that:

For 50 heads its 220/head. Let y be the fixed amount.

Then the variable amount is (220-y).

Using eqn (1) we get 50(220-y)=k ---------------(2)

Similarly for 60 heads it is 205/head.

We get 60(205-y)=k ---------------------(3)

Equating (2) and (3) we get the value of y=130

So for 50 heads the variable amount x= 220-130=90

Now, we have the amount as 160. Therefore the variable amount is 160-130=30

Using eq (1) we get 50(90) = n(30)

We get the reqd answer as n=150.

The expenses of the yoga in a colony are partly constant and partly vary with the number of members .if the no of members are 50 then each member has to bear 220 and if there is an additional of 10 members then the amt paid by each member decreases by 15 per month. How many members will be there if the share of the each member is 160?

ans a)150 b)90 c)60 d) cannot be determined.

the correct answer of this above question is 150.

rajibsam

a1, a2, a3, ...., a15

In the sequence shown, a[n] = a[n-1] + k, where
2<=n<=15 and k is a non-zero constant. How many of the
term in the sequence are greater than 10?

Given: a[8] = 10

Please solve.

Thanks,

sourav_getme

let x be the variable cost n f fixed cost

220*50=50x+f

205*60=60x+f

solving we get x=130

f=4500

now :let no of ppl be y

160*y=130*y+4500

y=150

Sudarshan TR <tr.sudarshan@...> wrote:

dear all, and Ganesan,

I think the ans is 90?

from 50 to 60 cost per head decreases by 15/-. so , it becomes 205 per head. therefore to get to 160, one needs to keep adding 10 members till the amt per head decreases from 205 to 160 and decreasing 15/- each time they add 10 more members...

doing so, u go from 50 to 90 members, each paying 160/-

Sudarshan.
