Q15. The area of a square field is 28800 sq.m. How long will ittake a woman walking at 7.2 km/hr to cross the field diagonally?
Answer: 2 minutes.
Let 'a' meters be the length of a side of the square field.
Hence, the diagonal = square root 2 * a = square root (2 * area) = 240 m.
The time taken to cross a length of 240 meters while traveling at7.2 km/hr = (240*60)/(1000*7.2) = 2 minutes.
Q16. On a farm there were only chickens and goats. One day the farmer decided to count the number of animals he had. When he counted the heads of the animals, the number totalled up to 300. But, when he counted the number of legs, the number totaled up to 650. How many chickens were there in the farm?
Answer: 275 Chickens and 25 Goats.
Let there by 'x' chickens and 'y' goats.
Therefore, x + y = 300 --- (1)
Each chicken has 2 legs and each goat has 4 legs
Therefore, 2x + 4y = 650 --- (2)
Solving equations (1) and (2), we get x = 275 and y = 25.
There were 275 chickens and 25 goats in the farm.
Q17. If the mean of numbers 44, x, 78, 67 and 86 is 66, then what is the mean of 128, 157, 312, 123 and x?
Answer: 155.
The average of the 5 numbers 44, x, 78, 67 and 86 is 66.
Therefore, the sum of these 5 numbers is 66 * 5 = 330
i.e. 44 + x + 78 + 67 + 86 = 310
Hence, x = 330 - 275 = 55.
The average of 128, 157, 312, 123 and x = (128+157+312+123+55)/5 = 155
