Let the two parts be x and (74 - x).

Then, 5x + 11(74 – x) = 454 ⇔ 6x = 360 ⇔ x = 60.

So, the two parts are 60 and 14.

Question: 4

A class starts at 10 a.m. and lasts till 1.27 p.m. Four periods are held during this interval. After every period, 5 minutes are given free to the students. The exact duration of each period is

(A) 42 minutes

(B) 48 minutes

(D) 53 minutes

View Answer

Ans: B

Time between 10 a.m. and 13.27 hours = 3 hrs. 27 min. = 207 min.

Total duration of free time = (5 × 3) min = 15 min.

Remaining time = (207 – 15) min. = 192 min.

∴ Duration of each of the 4 periods = $$({192}/{4})$$ min. = 48 min.

(D) 7.4

View Answer

Ans: C

Maximum internal assessment score = $$({47}/{50} × 10)$$ = 9.4

Minimum internal assessment score = $$({14}/{50} × 10)$$ = 2.8

∴ Required difference = (9.4 – 2.8) = 6.6.
