10. Find value of tan6°x tan42°x tan48°x tan84°
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 0

ANSWERS AND SOLUTION:
1.(D)Explanation:
Work done by the leak in 1 hour = (1/2-3/7)=1/14
SO Leak will empty the tank in 14 hrs.

2(B)Explanation:
S.P.=(100+gain%)/100 x C.P)
So, C.P. = (100/110x25.75)
When S.P. = 25.75 then
 Profit=25.75-25=Re.0.75
Profit%=0.75/25x100=3%

3(A)Explanation :
P = Rs.900
SI = Rs.81
T = ?
R = 4.5%
T= (100×SI)/PR= (100×81)/(900×4.5)=2 years

4(B)Explanation:
Since the sphere is drawn into wire,volume of the sphere is equal to volume of the wire.4/3p(3)^3= p(5/10)^2xh
=>h=144cm

5(A)
6(A)
7(B)Explanation:
Let his marked price be x
SP = MP-Discount
so 480 = x-2(10/100)x
x = 600

8(A)Explanation:
Let B take x days to do the work.
A takes (x+6) days to do the work.
Workdone by A in 7 days. 7/x+6
Workdone by B in 10 days. 10/x
So 7/x+6 + 10/x =1
(7x+10x+60)/(x+6)(x) = 1
17x + 60=x^2+6x
=>x^2 - 11x-60 = 0
=>x^2-15x + 4x-60=0
=>x(x-15)+4(x-15)=0
=>x=15
A can do the 21 days and B can do 15 day.

9(C)Explanation:
We have M1D1H1 = M2D2H2
so 12x15x8 = 9xD2x10
D2 = 16days.

10(A)
