Explanation:
Weight of the rice bag = 50kg. (Given)
Error weight of the rice bag = 50.5 kg. (Given)
Error in weight = Measured value - Actual value
= 50.5 - 50
= 0.5 kg
∴ Error Percent =
= 1%
Solution
∴ the error percentage is 1%.
Explanation:
- From 1 to 9, there are 9 pages, each using 1 digit.
- ∴ Total digits used = 9 × 1 = 9.
- From 10 to 99, there are 90 pages, each using 2 digit.
- Total digits used = 90 × 2 = 180.
- From 100 to 999, there are 90 pages, each using 3 digit.
- Total digits used = 900 × 3 = 2700
Solution
∴ Total no. of pages = 1074 pages.
Explanation:
Given, ax = b ----------- I
by = c ------------ II
cz = a ----------- III
ax = b can be written as,
b = ax
Substitute value of b in II, (ax)y = c
axy = c (∵ (pm)n = pmn) ---------- IV
By equation III, a = cz
Substitute value of a in IV,
(cz)xy = c
cxyz = c (∵ (pm)n = pmn)
xyz = 1
Solution
∴ The value of xyz = 1.
Explanation:
Let P = Profit, Cost price, CP = x and Selling Price, SP = y
By the formula , Profit % = [(SP - CP)/CP] × 100
P% = [(y-x)/x] × 100
Given,
P = y-x --------------------------- I
3P = 2y-x --------------------------- II
(∵ it is given that if selling price is doubled, profit triples)
Substitute I in II, 3P = 2y-x
3(y-x) = 2y-x
3y-3x = 2y-x
y = 2x ---------------------------- III
Substitute III, in the formula, P% = [(y-x)/x] × 100
= [(2x-x)x] × 100
= 1 × 100
= 100
Solution
∴ The profit percent is 100.
Explanation:
Let r1 be the radius of the sphere and r2 be the radius of base of the cone.
Given, the diameter of the sphere, d =12 cm.
∴ r1 = d/2
r1 = 12/2 = 6cm
∴ r2 = 6cm ( ∵ it is given that base of the cone has the same diameter as the sphere)
Step 1: Calculate the volume of the sphere
Volume of the sphere, V1 = (4/3)Ï€r₁³
Substituting the value of r1,
V1 = (4/3)Ï€ × 6³
= 904.78 cm³
Step 2: Calculating the volume of the cone,
Volume of the sphere, V2 = (1/3)Ï€r₂²h ------------- I
Since it is given that the sphere is melted to form the cone, their volumes are equal,
∴ V1 = V2
Substituting the value of r2 & V1 in equation I,
904.78 = (1/3)Ï€ × 6² × h
904.78 = 36 Ï€ /3 × h
h ~ 24cm
Solution
∴ The height of the cone is 24 cm.
Explanation:
Solution
∴ The length of the train is 225m.
Explanation:
50 Odd Natural Numbers, N ={1,3,5,7,9,11,13, 15,17, 19,.......99}
The product of 50 Odd Natural Numbers, N = (1 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 9 × 11 × 13 × 15 × .........99)
Method I
Any number multiplied by 5 gives either 0 or 5 in units place, and 5 multiplied by even gives '0' and 5 multiplied by odd gives '5'.
N = (1 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 9 × 11 × 13 × 15 × .........99)
= 5 × (1 × 3 × 7 × 9 × 11 × 13 × .........99)
= 5 × Odd no.
= 5 in the unit digit.
Method II
Notice a pattern in Odd Natural Numbers, N ={1,3,5,7,9,11,13, 15,17, 19,.......99}
ie, in the unit's digits it is { 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9....99}
This pattern repeats every 5 numbers. So, for the first 50 odd numbers, we have 10 complete cycles of this pattern.
∴ for each pattern, 1 × 3 × 5 × 7 × 9 = 945
∴ unit's digit of 945 is 5.
Solution
∴ The unit's digit in the product of the first 50 odd natural numbers is 5.
