Well...Sum Can be obtained by .... Coffecients..-1,0,1...

Re: Quant by Arun Sharma - 01-10-2009, 01:09 PM

Hey puys, this is my first post here. have been following the site for quite some time though. awesome site i must say..

Had a few queries with arun sharma from the chapter percentages.

Pg 158 Q.44.

A salesman is appointed with a basic salary of 1200/month and the condition that for every sales of 10000 and above he will get 50% of basic and 10% of sales. this scheme does not operate for first 10000 of sales. what would be the value of sales if he wants to earn 7600 in a particular month?

Pg 158 Q42

Aus scored X runs in 50 overs. india tied the score in 20% less overs. if indias avg run rate had been 33.33% higher the scores would have been tied 10 overs earlier. find how many runs were scored by australia.

A.250
B.240
C.200
D. Cannot be determined.

My Sol. I started solving the sum through options.

Aus----240----50overs----4.8
Ind-----240----40overs----6
ind-----240---30overs-----8 (6*4/3)
hence all conditions are fullfilled
Apparently as per the book the ans cannot be determined which i couldnt understand why??

Thanks.

Q 44) Is the answer 78,000 .. ?

Q 42) If the Aus scored, 'y' runs then,

40*r = y
And, 30*r*4/3 = y => 40*r = 30*r*4/3

Here, r could be any real number.

And, as you have more than one solutions to the problem the answer is 'cannot be determined'

Let x*10000+10000 be the total sales.

Now 1000 x+ 600 * x= 7600-1200 = 6400
=> 1600 x = 6400
=> x = 4
Hence sale should be 10000*4 + 10000 = 50000

Is this correct?

please help me with the solution
Here..Let Speed of planes be a,b..both in m/s
Now...
(a+b)*15 = 1200..(1)
a+b = 80
Also
a*60 = 1200 + b*60
a-b = 20
So a = 50, b = 30 m/s
Answer = 30 m/s
