2. If 378 coins consist of one rupee, 50-paise and 25-paise coins whose values are in the

ratio of 13 : 11 : 7, the number of 50-paise coins will be

1) 132   2) 128    3) 136    4) 133    5) None of these

ANSWER

ANS:132

Number of one rupee=13x/1=13x

Number of 50paise=11x/1/2 =22x

Number of 25paise = 7x/1/4 =28x

13x+22x+28x=378

thrfre x=7

Number of 50 paise coins=22*7=132

15/1*2=30==3x thrfre x=10

5. In an examination, 80% of the students passed in Mathematics and 75% passed in

English, while 15% of the students failed in both the subjects. If 350 students passed in

both the subjects, find the total number of students who appeared in the examination.

1) 500     2) 450       3) 540    4) 550    5) None of these

ANSWER

ANS:1

Students who failed in both the subjects = 15%
Students who passed in either of the subjects Mathematics or English = 100 – 15 = 85%
n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A∩B)
85 = 80 + 75 – n(A∩B)
n(A∩B) = 70
ie, the number of students who passed in both the subjects = 70% = 350
The total number of students =350/70*100=500
