Study the information carefully and answer the questions given below:

If we arrange the alphabets in the word "RATE" in the English alphabetical order, word "AERT" is formed. Then the third alphabet from the left in this word is "R". similarly, from the word "OPEN" we get - "ENOP" and the third alphabet from the left is "O". From the word "CHEF" we get - "CEFH" the third alphabet from the left "F". From the word "TOY" we get - "OTY" and the third alphabet from the left is "Y". If we use all these letters, then a meaningful English word "FORTY" can be formed.

Solution

Coins For 79 Paise :

25 paise × 3 coins + 2 paise × 2 coins Total number of coins for 79 paise = 5

Coins For 66 Paise :

50 paise × 1 coin + 10 paise × 1 coin + 2 paise × 3 coin

Total number of coins for 66 paise = 5 coins

For 1.01 Paise :

50 paise × 1 coin + 25 paise × 1 coin + 10 paise × 2 coin + 2 paise × 3 coin

Total number of coins for Rs. 1.01 paise = 7 coins

So, total coins used = (5 + 5 + 7) coins

= 17 coins

Ans.(A) (because given that smallest no. of coin)

Qus : 5NIMCET PYQ

Some friends planned to contribute equally to jointly buy a CD player. However, two of them decided to withdraw at the last minute. As a result, each of the others had to shell out one rupee more than what they had planned for. If the price (in Rs.) of the CD player is an integer between 1000 and 1100, find the number of friends who actually contributed?

Solution

We will assume the friends to be x and the contribution they are going to make be y

so,

xy = (x-2)(y+1)

= xy - 2y + x - 2

x = 2(y+1)

Here are the possible values of y,x and yx:

y = 21,22,23,24

x = 44,46,48,50

xy = 920, 1012,1104,1200

1000 < xy < 1100 (y,x)

= (22,46)

which will be x = 46

So the number of friends would be x -2 = 44

Qus : 7NIMCET PYQ

NIMCET Previous Year PYQNIMCET NIMCET 2019 PYQ

Solution

Let n_f be number of families, n_g be number of girls, n_b be number of boys and n_abe number of adults.

number of adults more than number of boys, number of boys more than number of girls and number of girls more than number of families.

hence we have, n_a > n_b > n_g > n_f ..........................(1)

we check the above relation (1) with different values for number of families, starting with n_f= 1

Let n_f= 1 , then n_b + n_g= 3 , if n_g =2 then n_b = 1 . But number of boys is greater than number of girls.
due to this contradiction, n_f ≠ 1

Let n_f= 2 , then n_b + n_g= 6 , if n_g =3 then n_b = 3 . But number of boys is greater than number of girls.
due to this contradiction, n_f ≠ 2

Let n_f= 3 , then n_b + n_g= 9 , if n_g =4 then n_b = 5 . number of adults n_a = 6.

hence the relation n_a > n_b > n_g > n_fis satisfied for the above numbers, 6>5>4>3
hence minimum number of families is 3
