Math Questions - Step-by-Step

Solutions
Q.2.1
In a company, 150 employees were asked for the preference of the form of training -
external or in-house. 95 employees preferred external training while 65 employees
preferred in-house training. If none of the employees did not prefer to training, how many
employees preferred:

(a) Both the forms of training


(b) External training only
(c) In-house training only

Solution:

Let A = External Training = 95


Let B = In-house Training = 65
Total (A ∪ B) = 150

We use the formula:


A ∩ B = A + B - (A ∪ B)

A ∩ B = 95 + 65 - 150 = 10

(a) Both = 10
(b) External only = 95 - 10 = 85
(c) In-house only = 65 - 10 = 55

Q.2.2
An office has 550 employees. 470 drink Tea, 320 drink Coffee. All employees drink at least
one. Can a contract be signed if the caterer demands at least 50% drink both?

Solution:

A = Tea = 470
B = Coffee = 320
A ∪ B = 550

A ∩ B = A + B - (A ∪ B) = 470 + 320 - 550 = 240

Percentage = (240 / 550) × 100 ≈ 43.64%


Since it's < 50%, condition is NOT fulfilled.
Q.3.1
Finn, Rosy, and Maya buy necklaces, rings, and bracelets, spending 23, 44, and 31
respectively. Find cost of each item.

Let x = necklace, y = ring, z = bracelet

Finn: 3x + y + 2z = 23
Rosy: x + 4y + 5z = 44
Maya: 6x + 2y + z = 31

From solving, we get:


Necklace = Rs 3
Ring = Rs 4
Bracelet = Rs 5

Q.3.2
A merchant buys 30 kg of rice at Rs 40/kg and 20 kg at Rs 30/kg. He sells half of the mixture
at Rs 50/kg. At what price should he sell the remaining to get 25% profit overall?

Cost of first 30 kg at Rs 40 = 30 × 40 = 1200

Cost of second 20 kg at Rs 30 = 20 × 30 = 600

Total cost = 1200 + 600 = 1800

Total weight = 50 kg

Selling price needed for 25% profit = 1800 × 1.25 = 2250

Half of the mixture = 25 kg, sold at Rs 50/kg = 25 × 50 = 1250

Remaining revenue needed = 2250 - 1250 = 1000

Remaining 25 kg should be sold at: 1000 / 25 = Rs 40/kg

Q.3.3
Rahul and Rohan have 45 marbles together. After losing 7 marbles each, the product of their
remaining marbles is 184. How many marbles did they originally have?

Let Rahul have x marbles, then Rohan has (45 - x) marbles

After losing 7 each:


Rahul has (x - 7)
Rohan has (45 - x - 7) = (38 - x)

Equation: (x - 7)(38 - x) = 184


Solving: (x - 7)(38 - x) = 184 → -x**2 + 45*x - 266 = 184

Solutions: x = 15, 30

So Rahul had 19 marbles, Rohan had 26 marbles originally.

Q.4.1
Find the equation of the line passing through (4, 3) and perpendicular to the line through (1,
2) and (3, 6).

Slope of line through (1,2) and (3,6): m = (6 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 4/2 = 2

Perpendicular slope = -1/2

Using point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 3 = -1/2(x - 4)

y - 3 = -1/2x + 2 → y = -1/2x + 5

Q.4.2
a) 2log(y) - log(4y) = log(y/6) - log(3)

Using log rules:

2log(y) = log(y^2), log(4y) = log(4) + log(y)

So: log(y^2) - log(4) - log(y) = log(y/6) - log(3)

= log(y) - log(6) - log(3) = log(y) - log(18)

Now simplify and solve: log(y^2 / 4y) = log(y / 18) → log(y / 4) = log(y / 18) → Not possible
unless y = 0 or 1
