a. 5 leaps b. 10 leaps c. 50 leaps d. 25 leaps
Q8. The Onion imported from china and US are known as “Chinapiyaj” and “Amipiyaj” respectively.
Last year the prices of Chinapiyaj and Amipiyaj were in the ratio 3 : 4. The prices of Chinapiyaj last year and this year is in the ratio 4 : 5 and that of Ampiyaj is in the ratio 8 : 9. This year, a kg of Chinapiyaj and a kg of Amipiyaj together cost Rs. 66.
How much does a kg of Chinapiyaj Cost this year?
a. Rs. 24 b Rs. 36 c. Rs. 30 d. Rs. 32
Q9. The time taken by a jet, to reach a certain place while flying at a speed, slower by 300 m/h than the normal, is double the time taken by it while flying at a speed faster by 300 m/h than normal. What is the ratio of the ‘delay time’ while flying slower to the ‘early time’ while flying faster?
a. 3 : 2 b. 1 : 2 c. 2 : 1 d. cannot be determined
Q10. Given that a + b varies as c + 1/c and that a –b varies as c – 1/c, find the relation between a, b and c provided c = 2 when a =3 and b =1.
a. a = 22c/15 + 2/15c
b. b = 22c/15 + 2/15c
c. c = 22a/15 + 2/15a
d. None of the above

The easiest way to solve such questions is by taking some values of a, b,c and d.
for ex. for this case take
a = 1
b = 2
c = 4
d = 8
and find out the value of the expression. i am getting the answer as e
Q4. P, Q and R are distinct positive real numbers.
[ P^4 (Q^2 + R^2) + Q^4 (P^2 + R^2) + R^4 (Q^2 + P^2) ] / (PQR)^2 must be more than
a. 6 b. 7 c. 8 d. None of these
ans is (d) because sume must be more than 5
Q6. Three positive numbers a b and c are such that abc/(a+b+c) = ab + bc + ca.
What is the value of (a+b+c)/a + (b+c+a)/b + (c+a+b)/c ?
a. 0
b. a+b+c
c. a+b+c+abc
d. None of these
ans(d) ans=1

@jigar
I get nother soln...Plz check it....
Q1. If a/b = b/c = c/d, then the value of
sqrt [(a^5 + b^2c^2 + a^3c^2)/(b^4c + d^4 + b^2cd^2)]
a. a/d b. b/d c. c/d d. all of these e. None of the these
Soln. Let a/b=b/c=c/d=k.
=>a=dk^3,b=dk^2,c=dk...
By puttin d values: [(a^5 + b^2c^2 + a^3c^2)/(b^4c + d^4 + b^2cd^2)]
=k^6(test it)
sqrt [(a^5 + b^2c^2 + a^3c^2)/(b^4c + d^4 + b^2cd^2)]=k^3=a/d
So option (a) is correct....
Giv ur best to d world.
Nd d best will cm back to u....

Q1 is easily solved by replacing using k as constant..
Q2 is solved by basic math..but i do not know of a easy way to do this..can any one suggest how to...there has to be some exponential series involved as the process can be repeated any number of times...plz do provide an easy way :)
Thanks in adv
