Let original radius = r , original area = p *r2 New radius = 3r/4 m, New area = p (3r/4)2
= p *r2/16
Decrease in area = p* r2 - 9p r2/16
= 7 p r2/16
Decrease % =m 7 p* r2 * 1/ p r2* 100

For a scholarship, at most n candidates out of 2n + 1 can be selected. If the number of different ways of selection of at least one candidate is 63, the maximum number of candidates that can be selected for the scholarship is:
Different ways of selection of at least one candidate out of m candidates = mC1 + mC2 + ... + mCm = 2m - 1 2m - 1 = 63 or, m = 6 Now 2n + 1 = 6 or, n = 2.5 So at most 2 candidate can be selected.
These questions are based on the situation given below:
A road network (shown in the figure below) connects cities A, B, C and D. All road segments are straight lines. D is the midpoint on the road connecting A and C. Roads AB and BC are at right angles to each other with BC shorter than AB. The segment AB is 100 km long.
Ms. X and Mr. Y leave A at 8:00 am, take different routes to city C and reach at the same time. X takes the highway from A to B to C and travels at an average speed of 61.875 km per hour. Y takes the direct route AC and travels at 45 km per hour on segment AD. Y's speed on segment DC is 55 km per hour.

Question :
The total distance traveled by Y during the journey is approximately
Distance traveled by X = AB + BC = 100 + BC Distance traveled by Y = AC Avg Speed of X = 61.875 kmph Let time taken by both = t hr So, 61.875t = 100 + BC And, AD/45 + DC/55 = t AD = DC as D is the mid point or, AC[1/90 + 1/110] = t or, 200AC = 9900t or, AC = 99/2t Hence (100+BC)/61.875 = AC/49.5 Now check from answer, put AC = 105 So BC2 = AC2- AB2 or BC = √1025 = 32 (100+BC)/AC = 132/105 = 1.25 = 61.875/49.5 Hence AC = 105

Question :
If n is any odd number greater t han 1, then n(n2 - 1) is (find maximum n possible)
n(n2 - 1) = n(n - 1) (n + 1). If n is a an odd number and n > 1, then either of (n + 1) and (n - 1) is a multiple of 4 and
the other is a multiple of 2. Also, since (n - 1), n, (n - 1) are three consecutive numbers, one of them must be a
multiple of three. thus the product has to be a multiple of (4 ? 3 ? 2) = 24.

Question :
The speed of a railway engine is 42 Km per hour when no compartment is attached, and the reduction in speed is directly proportional to the square root of the number of compartments attached. If the speed of the train carried by this engine is 24 Km per hour when 9 compartments are attached, the maximum number of compartments that can be carried by the engine is:
reduction in speed r = k√x where x is number of compartments v = 42 - k√x kmph 24 = 42 - k√9 or, k = 18/3 = 6 For max number of compartment v >0 or, 42 - 6√x > 0 or, 6√x < 42 or, √x < 7 or, x < 49 So, x = 48

Question :
Out of two -thirds of the total number of basket-ball matches, a team has won 17 matches and lost 3 of them. What is the maximum number of matches that the team can lose and still win three-fourths of the
total number of matches, if it is true that no match can end in a tie?
The team has already played 17 (won) + 3 (lost) = 20 matches. These constitute two-thirds of the total matches.
Thus the total number of matches is 30. If the team is supposed to win three-fourths of these, it has to win 22.5, i.e.
23 matches in all. There are (30 - 20) = 10 matches remaining. So the team has to win (23 - 17) = 6 of these 10
matches, i.e. it can lose no more than (10 - 6) = 4 matches.

Question :
Once I had been to the post-office to buy stamps of five rupees, two rupees and one rupee. I paid the clerk Rs 20, and since he did not have change, he gave me three more stamps of one rupee. If the number of stamps of each type that I had ordered initially was more than one, what was the total number of stamps that I bought?
At least two stamps of each type were ordered initially. So Rs. 2(5 + 2 + 1) = Rs. 16 have been spent. That leaves
Rs. (20 - 16) = Rs. 4. In these Rs. 4, three more stamps of one rupee were given, thus accounting for Rs. 19 in all. Since one more rupee remains, it means that one more stamps of Re. 1 was bought initially. So the total number of stamps is 2(of Rs. 5) + 2 (of Rs. 2) + 6(of Re. 1). Note that this is the only possible combination of stamps which is consistent with the given data.
