- a^3 +b^3 +c^3- 3abc =? if a=2, b=4, c=-6. (0)
Ans) a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc
= (1/2)(a + b + c)((a – b)^2 + (b – c)^2 + (c – a)^2)
As,
a+b+c = 0,
a^3 + b^3 + c^3 – 3abc = 0
- Ayan sells a sari at profit of 25%. If he reduces the selling price by Rs 240 , then he suffers a loss of 5%. What was the initial selling price of the sari? ( Rs 1000)
Ans) let, CP of a sari = 100 unit
Ayan sells at 25% profit = at 125 unit
If he reduces the price by 240 Rs., he suffers 5% loss
Then, he sells the sari at = 95 unit
According to question,
(125-95) = 30 unit = 240 Rs.
=> 100 unit = (240/30) x 100 = 800 Rs. = C.P. of a sari
At 25% profit, the initial SP of a sari
= 800 x (125/100)
= 1000 Rs.
19.If two successive discounts of 25% and 30% are given, then what is the ratio of marked price to selling price? (40:21)
Ans) let, M.P. = 100 Rs.
After First discount, Price becomes =
100-25 = 75 Rs.
After 2nd Discount, Price becomes =
75 x 70/100 = 52.5 Rs.
Therefore, ration of M.P. : S.P
= 100 : 52.5
= 1000 : 525
Dividing by 25
= 40 : 21
- A work can be completed by 28 women in 36 days. If 4 women leave after working for 18 days, then how many days will be needed to complete the remaining work? (21 days)
Ans) Number of person days required = 28 × 36 = 1008
Number of person days spent = 28 × 18 = 504
Number of people left = (28 – 4) = 24
Using the formula for person days 1008 = 504 + 24x
=> 24x = 1008 – 504 = 504
=> x = 504/24 = 21 days
∴ Number of days needed to complete remaining work = 21
