Ques:- The price of sugar increases by 20%, by what % should a housewife reduce the consumption of sugar so that expenditure on sugar can be same as before ?(a) 15%(b) 16.66%(c) 12%(d) 9%
Recent Answer : Added by Rk On 2021-08-25 14:15:42:

(b) 16.66%

Earlier for ₹x we could purchase y gm of sugar.
Now we pay ₹1.2x for y gm of sugar

(As there was an increase in price so, x + 20%x = 1.2x)

At current rates for ₹x you can purchase y/1.2 gm of sugar

So the reduced consumption is y-(y/1.2)

Percentage change = (reduced consumption/ original consumption ) *100

That is (0.2/1.2) *100 = 16.66% (approx)

Ques:- Out of 10 persons working on a project, 4 are graduates. If 3 are selected, what is the probability that there is at least one graduate among them?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2022-09-28 18:37:01:

Out of 10 persons, 4 are graduates; so, (10 – 4) = 6 are under-graduates.

If there is no restriction, any three can be chosen from the ten in (10C3) = 120 ways.

Now, if all three chosen are under-graduates; it can take place in (6C3) = 20 ways.

Therefore, the probability that there will be no graduate among the three chosen = (20 / 120) = (1 / 6).

Therefore, the probability that there will be at least one graduate among the three chosen = {1 – (1 / 6)} = (5 / 6) = 0.8333.

Ques:- On a certain island,5% of the inhabitants are one-legged.The total population is 10,000.If half of the two legged persons go barefoot,what is the least number of shoes needed in the island?
Recent Answer : Added by DK BOSS On 2021-07-16 09:53:22:

10000

one-legged =5% of 10000=500

remaining=10000-500=9500

barefooted=9500/2=4750

remaining people= 9500-4750=4750

hence required number of shoes= 4750*2+500*1=100005% of 10000 = 500 one legged

9500 / 2 = 4750 bare foot

minium no of shoes = 4750*2 + 500*1 = 10000

Recent Answer : Added by Bhagirathi H On 2022-09-15 16:37:05:

Fathers before age=3*before sons age—-(1)
After 2.5 years..
Fathers before age+2.5 years =2.5*sons age—-(2)
Substitute (1) in (2),
3*sons before age+2.5 years=2.5*sons age
0.5*sons age=2.5 years
Sons before age=5years
So current age after 2.5 years,
Sons before age+2.5 =5+2.5=7.5 years
