Question : In $\triangle ABC$, $D$ and $E$ are points on sides $AB$ and $AC$, such that $DE$ II $BC$. If $AD=x+3$, $DB =2 x-3$, $A E=x+1$ and $EC=2 x-2$, then the value of $x$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{4}{5}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{3}{5}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{5}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{5}$
Solution : As $DE \parallel BC$, and $\angle A$ is common in both $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle ADE$. ⇒ $\triangle ABC \sim \triangle ADE$ ⇒ $\frac{AB}{AD} = \frac{AC}{AE}$ ⇒ $\frac{AD+DB}{AD} = \frac{AE+EC}{AE}$ ⇒ $\frac{ (x + 3 + 2x - 3)}{(x + 3)} = \frac{(x +

Question : If two qualities of pulses 'X' and 'Y' of prices Rs. 100 and Rs.150 per kg are mixed in the ratio 7 : 20, then what is the price (in) of this mixture of pulses (correct to the nearest Rupee)?
Option 1: 137
Option 2: 135
Option 3: 134
Option 4: 136
Correct Answer: 137
Solution : Given: If two qualities of pulses 'X' and 'Y' of prices Rs. 100 and Rs. 150 per kg are mixed in a ratio of 7 : 20. So, the price of the mixture, = $\frac{(100×7)+(150×20)}{(7+20)}$ = $\frac{(700+3000)}{27}$ = $\frac{3700}{27}$ = Rs. 137.04 $\approx$ Rs. 137
