Question Detail

Two numbers differ by 5. If their product is 336, then sum of two number is

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Friends you remember,
\begin{aligned}
=> (x+y)^2 = (x-y)^2 + 4xy
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> (x+y)^2 = (5)^2 + 4(336)
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> (x+y) = \sqrt{1369} = 37
\end{aligned}

1. Difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the two digits is 36, what is the difference between two numbers

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the ten digit be x, unit digit is y.
Then (10x + y) - (10y + x) = 36
=> 9x - 9y = 36
=> x - y = 4.

2. Find the number, when 15 is subtracted from 7 times the number, the result is 10 more than twice of the number

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the number be x.
7x -15 = 2x + 10 => 5x = 25 => x = 5

3. The product of two numbers is 120 and the sum of their squares is 289. The sum of the number is

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

We know
\begin{aligned}
(x + y)^2 = x^2 + y^2 + 2xy
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> (x + y)^2 = 289 + 2(120)
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> (x + y) = \sqrt{529} = 23
\end{aligned}

4. if the sum of \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} \end{aligned} and \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{5} \end{aligned} of a number exceeds \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{3} \end{aligned} of the number by \begin{aligned} 7\frac {1}{3} \end{aligned}, then number is

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Seems a bit complicated, isnt'it, but trust me if we think on this question with a cool mind then it is quite simple...
Let the number is x,
then, \begin{aligned} (\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{1}{5}x) - \frac{1}{3}x = \frac{22}{3} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> \frac{11x}{30} = \frac{22}{3}
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> x = 20
\end{aligned}

5. If one third of one fourth of number is 15, then three tenth of number is

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the number is x,
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{3} of\frac{1}{4} * x = 15
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> x = 15\times 12 = 180
\end{aligned}

\begin{aligned}
=> so \frac{3}{10} \times x = \frac{3}{10} \times 180 = 54
\end{aligned}
