Question : The sum of the two numbers is 1215 and their HCF is 81. If the numbers lie between 500 and 700, then the sum of the reciprocals of the numbers is _____.
Option 1: $\frac{5}{702}$
Option 2: $\frac{5}{378}$
Option 3: $\frac{5}{1512}$
Option 4: $\frac{5}{1188}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{1512}$
Solution : Let the number be 81$x$ and 81$y$ 81$x$ + 81$y$ = 1215 ⇒ $x + y = \frac{1215}{81}$ = 15 Pair of $x+ y$ = (1,14), (2,13), (4,11), and (7,8) ⇒ $x = 7$ and $y = 8$ First number = 81 × 7 =
Question : A cone-shaped storage tank's height and radius are 9 feet and 7 feet, respectively. Determine how much liquid the tank can contain. (Take $\pi$ = 3.14)
Option 1: 471 cubic feet
Option 2: 450 cubic feet
Option 3: 435.32 cubic feet
Option 4: 461.58 cubic feet
Correct Answer: 461.58 cubic feet
Solution : The volume $V$ of a cone, where $r$ is the radius and $h$ is the height. $V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h$ $= \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (7)^2 \times 9$ $= 461.58$ Hence, the correct answer is 461.58 cubic feet.
