ANSWERS AND SOLUTION :
1.(b) ; Required surface area =  Ï€r^2+ 2Ï€rh    
= πr(r+2h)
= 22/7 * 7/2 (7/2 + 2 * 4)
= 11* (7 + 16)/2 = 11 * 23/2
= 126.5 sq.mt

2.(b) ; Required weight of pipe = Ï€(R^2 – r^2)h
= 22/7 (4^2 – 2^2) 700
= 26400 cm^2
= 26400 * 5/1000 kg
132 kg
 
3.(c) Total surface area of two halves = 3Ï€r^2 + 3Ï€r^2
= 6Ï€r^2
Required cost = 8 * 6Ï€r^2  = Rs. 48Ï€r^2

4.(c) Required average price
= (2 × 5.5 + 3 × 3.5 + 3 × 5.5 + 5 × 1.5)/((2+3+3+5))
= (11.0 + 10.5 + 16.5 + 7.5)/13
= 45.5/13
= Rs. 3.50/-

5.(a) Required time = L.C.M of (200, 300, 360 and 450) second
= 1800 seconds
 
6.(a); Quantity of water flows in 1 hour = πr^2h
= (22 ×7 ×7 ×5000)/(7 ×100 ×100) = 77 cm^3
Volume of water in pipe = (50 ×44 ×7)/100  154 cm^3
so Required time = 154/77 = 2 hours

7.(d) ; Let quantity of acid in mixture = x
And quantity of water in mixture = 3x
According to question,
x + 5/3x = 1/2
=> 3x = 2x + 10
=> x = 10 litres
So, Total quantity of new mixture
= x +3x + 5 = 4x + 5
= 4 * 10 + 5 = 45 litres

8.(a); Let price of a banana be =  Rs. 100/-
then, price of an apple and a guava respectively will be Rs. 200/- and Rs. 250/-
Sum of prices of 4 bananas, 2 apples and 3 guavas
= 400 + 400 + 750
= Rs. 1550/-
Sum of prices of 4 bananas, 2 apples and 3 guavas
= 110/100 * 400 * 110/100 * 400 + 110/100 * 750
= 440 + 440 + 825 = Rs. 1705/-
So, increased percentage = (1705 – 1550)/1550 * 100
= 155/1550 * 100 = 10%

9.(a) Let distance between house and station be x km
According to question
x/5 – x/6 = (7+5)/60
(6x – 5x)/30 = 12/60
7x = (30* 12)/60 = 6 km

10.(c) Total increment in age = 11 * 2 = 22 months
so Total ages of two new players
= (18 + 20) years + 22 months
= 38 years + 22  months
