Correct answer is B
Using the venn diagram above
μ = 30
n(W) = 15
n(M) = 13
\(n(W ∪ M)^1 = 6\)
Let x = number of students that study both woodwork and metalwork
i.e. n(W ∩ M) = x
Number of students that study only woodwork,\(n(W ∩ M^1)\) = \(15 - x\)
Number of students that study only metalwork, \(n(W^1 ∩ M)\) = \(13 - x \)
Bringing all together,
\(n(W ∩ M^1)\) +\( n(W^1 ∩ M)\) + \(n(W ∩ M)\) + \(n(W ∪ M)^1\) = \(μ\)
∴ (15 - x) + (13 - x) + x + 6 = 30
⇒ 34 - x = 30
⇒ 34 - 30 = x
∴ x = 4
\(n(W ∩ M^1)\) = \(15 - 4 = 11\)
∴ The number of students that study woodwork but not metalwork is 11.
The angle of a sector of a circle of radius 3.4 cm is 115°. Find the area of the sector.
\((Take \pi = \frac{22}{7})\)
\(11.6cm^2\)
\(12.7cm^2\)
\(10.2cm^2\)
\(9.4cm^2\)
Correct answer is A
\(\theta = 115° , radius = 3.4cm^2\)
Area of a sector = \(\frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2\)
= \(\frac{115}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 3.4\times 3.4\)
= \(\frac{29246.4}{2520}\)
= \(11.6cm^2\)
Solve \(1 + \sqrt[3]{ x - 3} = 4\)
30
6
12
66
Correct answer is A
\(1 + \sqrt [3]{x-3} = 4\)
= \(\sqrt[3]{x - 3} = 4 - 1\)
\(\sqrt[3]{x - 3} = 3 \)
take the cube of both sides
= x - 3 = 27
x = 27 + 3
∴ x = 30
In the diagram, O is the center of the circle QRS and ∠SQR = 28°. Find ∠ORS.
\(56^0\)
\(28^0\)
\(76^0\)
\(62^0\)
Correct answer is D
∠SOR = 2 × 28° = 56° (angle at the centre is twice the angle at the circumference)
From ∆SOR
|OS| = |OR| (radii)
So, ∆SOR is isosceles.
∠ORS = \(\frac{180^0 - 56^0}{2} = \frac{124^0}{2}\) ( base angles of isosceles triangle are equal)
∴ ∠ORS = 62°
6 days
8 days
10 days
12 days
Correct answer is A
12 men working 8 hours a day can complete the work in 4 days
12 men working 1 hour a day will complete the same work in (8 x 4) days [working less hours a day means they have to work for more days]
1 man working 1 hour a day will complete same work in (8 x 4 x 12) days [fewer number of men working means the remaining ones will have to work for more days ]
So, it will take 1 man working 1 hour a day to complete a piece of work in (8 x 4 x 12) days = 384 days
Now,
1 man working 16 hours a day will complete the piece of work in (384/16) days = 24 days [working more hours a day means less days to complete the work]
∴ 4 men working 16 hours a day will complete the piece of work in (24/4) days = 6 days [more men working means fewer days to complete the work]
ALTERNATIVELY
12 x 8 x 4 = 4 x 16 x d
⇒ d = \(\frac{12 \times 8 \times 4}{4 \times 16}\)
⇒ d = \(\frac{384}{64}\)
⇒ d = 6
∴ 4 men working 16 hours a day will complete the piece of work in 6 days
