Hints & Explanations

6. (d) Let the exhaust tap empties the tank in x

1. (d) Clearly, < = < 7
7 7 7 1 1 1 1
Then, + - = or
1 12 15 x 20
Þ is the smallest number..
7 1 1 1 1
= + -
2. (b) The given equation = x 1/3 + y 1/3 = z1/3 x 12 15 20
cubing both sides 1 5+ 4-3 6 1
(x1/3 + y1/3)3 = z or = = = or x = 10 min
x 60 60 10
Þ x + y + 3 (x2/3) (y1/3) + 3(x1/3) (y2/3) = z
Þ x + y + 3[(x2/3) (y1/3) + (x1/3) (y2/3)] = z 1
7. (d) In 1 day, work done by 12 men =
Þ x + y + 3 (x1/3) (y1/3) (x1/3 + y1/3) = z 18
putting x1/3 + y1/3 = z1/3 6 1
In 6 days, work done by 12 men = =
Þ x + y + 3 (x1/3) (y1/3) (z1/3) = z 18 3
Þ x + y – z = – 3 (x1/3) (y1/3) (z1/3) 2
Þ (x + y – z)3 = – 3 (x1/3) (y1/3) (z1/3) Remaining work =
3
Þ (x + y – z)3 = – 27xyz (cubing both sides)
Þ (x + y – z)3 = + 27xyz = 0 Now, m1 ´ d1 ´ w 2 = m 2 ´ d 2 ´ w1
3. (b) Let the no. of one rupee, 50 paise and 25 2
or 12 ´18 ´ = 16 ´ d 2 ´ 1
paise coins be 2x, 3x and 4x respectively. 3
According to question, 4 ´18 ´ 2
or d 2 = = 9 days
æ 3x 4x ö 16
` ç 2x + + ÷ = Rs. 216
è 2 4 ø 8. (d) Let the speed of the stream be x km/h.
Then, upstream speed = (15 – x) km/h.
8x + 6x + 4x and downstream speed = (15 + x) km/h.
Þ = 216
4 30 30
\ x = 48 Now, + = 4.5
(15 + x) (15 - x)
\ Number of 50 paise coins = 48 × 3 = 144
Solving these equations, we get x = 5 km/h.
