If $$\frac{{547.527}}{{0.0082}}{\text{ = }}x{\text{,}}$$   then the value of $$\frac{{547527}}{{82}}$$   is = ?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option D
Solution:
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{According to question,}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\frac{{547.527}}{{0.0082}}{\text{ = }}x{\text{ }} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{547527}}{{82}} \times 10 = x \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{547527}}{{82}} = \frac{x}{{10}} \cr} $$

The number of pairs of natural numbers the difference of whose squares is 45 will be ?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Let the numbers be x and y
According to question,
$$\eqalign{ & \left( {x > y} \right) \cr & {x^2} - {y^2} = 45 \cr & \left( {x + y} \right)\left( {x - y} \right) = 45 \cr & {\text{Make factor of 45}} \cr & {\text{15}} \times 3 \cr & \,\,9 \times 5\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,(3\,{\text{pairs}}) \cr & 45 \times 1 \cr} $$
These pairs gives the value of x and y which satisfy the given condition.

If $$\root 3 \of {{3^n}} {\text{ = 27,}}$$   then the value of n is = ?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
According to question,
$$\eqalign{ & \root 3 \of {{3^n}} {\text{ = 27}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {{3^n}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}} = {\left( 3 \right)^3} \cr & \Rightarrow {3^{\frac{n}{3}}} = {3^3} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{n}{3} = 3 \cr & \Rightarrow n = 9 \cr} $$

The lowest temperature in the night in a city is one third more than $$\frac{1}{2}$$ the highest during the day. Sum of the lowest temperature and the highest temperature is 100 degrees. Then what is the lowest temperature?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Let the highest temperature be x degrees
Then, lowest temperature
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{ = }}\left[ {\left( {1 + \frac{1}{3}} \right)\frac{x}{2}} \right]{\text{ degrees }} \cr & = \left( {\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{x}{2}} \right){\text{ degrees}} \cr & = \frac{{2x}}{3}{\text{ degrees}} \cr & \therefore x + \frac{{2x}}{3} = 100 \cr & \Leftrightarrow \frac{{5x}}{3} = 100 \cr & \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{{100 \times 3}}{5} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 60 \cr & {\text{So, lowest temperature}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\left( {\frac{2}{3} \times 60} \right){\text{degrees}} \cr & {\text{ = 40 degrees}} \cr} $$

A millionaire bought a lot of hats $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of which were brown. The millionaire sold $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of the including $$\frac{4}{5}$$ of the brown hats. What fraction of the unsold hats were brown ?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Let the number of hats purchase be x,
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Then, number of brown hats}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{x}{4} \cr & {\text{Number of hats sold}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{{2x}}{3} \cr & {\text{Number of hats left unsold}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\left( {x - \frac{{2x}}{3}} \right) = \frac{x}{3} \cr & {\text{Number of brown hats sold}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{4}{5}{\text{ of }}\frac{x}{4} = \frac{x}{5} \cr & {\text{Number of brown hats left unsold}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\left( {\frac{x}{4} - \frac{x}{5}} \right) = \frac{x}{{20}} \cr & \therefore {\text{Required fraction}} \cr & {\text{ = }}\frac{{\left( {\frac{x}{{20}}} \right)}}{{\left( {\frac{x}{3}} \right)}} \cr & = \frac{x}{{20}} \times \frac{3}{x} \cr & = \frac{3}{{20}} \cr} $$

A body of 7300 troops is formed of 4 battalions so that $$\frac{1}{2}$$ of the first, $$\frac{2}{3}$$ of the second, $$\frac{3}{4}$$ of the third and $$\frac{4}{5}$$ of the fourth are all composed of the same number of men. How many men are there in the second battalion?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option C
Solution:
Let the number of men in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th battalions be x, y, z and t respectively.
Then,
$$\eqalign{ & \frac{1}{2}x = \frac{2}{3}y = \frac{3}{4}z = \frac{4}{5}t \cr & \Rightarrow x = \frac{4}{3}y, \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,z = \frac{8}{9}y, \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,t = \frac{5}{6}y{\text{ }} \cr & {\text{Now,}} \cr & x + y + z + t = 7300 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{4}{3}y + y + \frac{8}{9}y + \frac{5}{6}y = 7300 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{24y + 18y + 16y + 15y}}{{18}} = 7300 \cr & \Rightarrow 73y = 7300 \times 18 \cr & \Rightarrow y = 1800 \cr} $$
