Question 1: Mean Score of Girls and Boys
Problem:
20 girls and Y boys sat for an examination. The mean score for the girls was 52, and for the boys, it was 57. If the total score for both girls and boys was 2750, find the number of boys Y.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Given:
- Mean score (girls) = 52
- Mean score (boys) = 57
- Total score = 2750
- Number of girls = 20
Step 1: Total score from the girls
Mean = Total Score ÷ Number of Students
So, Total Score (girls)=52×20=1040\text{Total Score (girls)} = 52 \times 20 = 1040Total Score (girls)=52×20=1040
Step 2: Score contributed by boys Total Score (boys)=2750−1040=1710\text{Total Score (boys)} = 2750 – 1040 = 1710Total Score (boys)=2750−1040=1710
Step 3: Let the number of boys be Y Mean (boys)=Total Score (boys)Y⇒57=1710Y⇒Y=171057=30\text{Mean (boys)} = \frac{\text{Total Score (boys)}}{Y} \Rightarrow 57 = \frac{1710}{Y} \Rightarrow Y = \frac{1710}{57} = 30Mean (boys)=YTotal Score (boys)⇒57=Y1710⇒Y=571710=30
Final Answer: 30 boys
Option C
Question 2: Finding the Area of a Remaining Sector
Problem:
A sector of angle 120° is cut out from a circle of radius 13.5 cm. What is the area of the remaining part of the circle?
Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Understanding the Sector
- Total angle in a circle = 360°
- Removed sector = 120°
- Remaining (major sector) = 360° – 120° = 240°
Step 2: Area of a sector formula: Area=θ360×πr2\text{Area} = \frac{\theta}{360} \times \pi r^2Area=360θ×πr2
Substitute values:
- θ=240\theta = 240θ=240
- r=13.5r = 13.5r=13.5
- π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}π=722
Area=240360×227×(13.5)2\text{Area} = \frac{240}{360} \times \frac{22}{7} \times (13.5)^2Area=360240×722×(13.5)2
Step 3: Simplify the expression:
- 240360=23\frac{240}{360} = \frac{2}{3}360240=32
- 13.52=182.2513.5^2 = 182.2513.52=182.25
Area=23×227×182.25\text{Area} = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times 182.25Area=32×722×182.25
