a³ - b³ = (a - b)³ + 3ab(a - b)

Calculations:

According to the question,

 $\left( {8{x^3} - \frac{1}{{64{x^3}}}} \right)$

= (2x)³ - (1/4x)³

= (2x - 1/4x)³ + 3(2x)(1/4x)(2x - 1/4x)

= 8³ + (3/2)(8)

= 512 + 12

= 524

Given:

Ramesh bought a mobile phone at 25% discount on the marked price. Had he bought it at 33% discount, he would have saved Rs. 640.

Calculations:

According to question,

(33 - 25)% of x = 640

⇒ 8 % of x = 640

⇒ 0.08x = 640

⇒ x = 640/0.08

⇒ x = 8000

Now, The Cost price 

= 75% of 8000

= 3/4 × 8000

= 6000

Hence, The required value is Rs. 6000.

Given : 

cosec θ + cot θ = 2/5

Formula used :

cosec²θ - cot²θ = (cosec θ + cot θ)(cosec θ - cot θ) = 1 

Calculations :

cosec θ + cot θ = 2/5     ....(1)

cosec θ - cot θ = 5/2    ....(2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 , we get 

cosec θ = 29/20

⇒ sinθ = 20/29          (sin θ = (1/cosec θ)

∴ sin θ is equal to 20/29.

Given:

Diameter of 20 cm then, height = 8 cm.

Formula used:

Volume of cylinder = πr2h

Where r and h are the radius and height of the cylinder

Calculation:

Using the above formula

So, Volume = 800π cm3

∴ Volume of the cylinder is 800π cm³.

Given:

Down payment = Rs.5,000

Formula:

Let P = Principal, R = Rate of interest and N = time

Compound interest = P(1 + R/100) n - P

Calculation:

Amount to be paid in installments = 25000 - 5000 = Rs.20000

Let each installment be of Rs.a

⇒ 20000 = a/(1 + 25/100) + a/(1 + 25/100) 2 + a/(1 + 25/100) 3

⇒ 20000 = 4a/5 + 16a/25 + 64a/125

⇒ 20000 = 244a/125

⇒ a = 20000 × 125/244

⇒ a = 10245.90

∴ Amount of each installment is Rs.10245.90.

Given:

First increase in salary = 10%

Second increase in salary = 5%

Formula used:

Ratio of Amount to Principal = 3 : 2

Interest for 2 years = 3 − 2 = 1 unit

Interest for 1 year = 1 ÷ 2 = 0.5 units

Rate % = (Interest per year ÷ Principal) × 100

Rate % = (0.5 ÷ 2) × 100 = 25%

∴ The correct answer is 25 Percent p.a.

Alternate Method

Given:

Time (T) = 2 years

Amount (A) = 3/2 × Principal (P)

Formula Used:

Simple Interest (SI) = (P × R × T) ÷ 100

Amount (A) = P + SI

Calculations:

⇒ SI = A − P

⇒ SI = (3/2)P − P = (1/2)P

⇒ (1/2)P = (P × R × 2) ÷ 100

⇒ 1/2 = 2R ÷ 100

⇒ 100 = 4R

⇒ R = 100 ÷ 4 = 25%

∴ The correct answer is 25 Percent p.a.

Additional Information

Simple Interest vs Compound Interest

In Simple Interest, the interest is calculated only on the Principal amount, whereas in Compound Interest, interest is calculated on the Principal plus accumulated interest.

Rate of Interest Formula

R = (SI × 100) ÷ (P × T). This formula is derived directly from the standard Simple Interest equation.

Effective Rate

The Effective Rate for SI is simply R × T. For example, 25% for 2 years results in a total interest of 50% of the Principal.

Given:

In the given figure, diameter AB and chord CD of a circle meet at P. PT is a tangent to the circle at T. If CD = 7.8 cm, PD = 5 cm, PB = 4 cm.

Formula used:

PB × PA = PD × PC

Calculations:

Let AB be x.

Now, According to concept, we have:

PB × PA = PD × PC

⇒ 4(4 + x) = 5(5 + 7.8)

⇒ 16 + 4x = 25 + 39

⇒ 4x = 64 - 16

⇒ x = 48/4 = 12

Hence, The Required value of AB is 12 cm.

Given:

The cost price and the selling price of an item are in the ratio 20 : 17.

Concept used :

loss percentage= (CP - SP)/CP × 100

Calculations:

According to question,

loss percentage

= $\rm\frac{\frac{CP}{SP} - 1}{\frac{CP}{SP}} \times 100$ 

= $\rm\frac{\frac{20}{17} - 1}{\frac{20}{17}} \times 100$

= $\rm\frac{\frac{3}{17}}{\frac{20}{17}} \times 100$

= $\rm\frac{3}{20} \times 100$

= 3 × 5

= 15

Hence, The Required Percentage value is 15%.

Hence, The Required value is $\frac{3}{7}$.

Given:

2m + 8w = 5 days

3m + 4w = 6 days

Formula used:

Total work = Efficiency × days 

Calculations:

⇒ (2m + 8w)5 = (3m + 4w)6

⇒ 10m + 40w = 18m + 24w

⇒ 16w = 8m

⇒ m/w = 2/1

⇒ Total work = (2 × 2 + 8 × 1) × 5

⇒ Total work = 12 × 5 = 60

Time taken by 1m and 2 w = 60/(1 × 2 + 2 × 1)

⇒ 15 days

∴ Time taken by 1 man and 2 woman is 15 days.

Given:

The floor of a room is 8 m 96 cm in length and 6 m 72 cm in breadth.

Calculations:

Length of floor 

= 8 m + 96 cm

= (800 + 96)cm

= 896 cm

Breadth of floor

= 672 cm

To get minimum no. of squares 

= HCF(896, 672)

= 224

No. of squares

= (896 × 672)/(224 × 224)

= 12

Hence, The Required value is 12.

Given:

p + q + r = 9,  and pq + qr + rp = 26

Formula used:

a³ + b³ + c3 - 3abc = (a + b + c){a2 + b2 + c2 -(ab + bc + ca)}

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2(ab + bc + ac) 

Calculation:

According to the question

p3 + q3 = 91, q3 + r3 = 72 and r3 + p3 = 35

Adding all 3 results, we get, 

⇒ 2(p3 + q3 + r3) = 198

⇒ (p3 + q3 + r3) = 198/2 = 99

Using the 2^nd  formula, we get, 

⇒ 9² = p² + q² + r² + 2(pq + qr + rp)

⇒ 81 = p2 + q2 + r2 + 2(26)

⇒  p2 + q2 + r2 = 81 - 52 = 29

Now using the 1^st formula, we get,

⇒ 99 - 3(pqr) = 9 {29 - 26}

⇒ 99 - 3(pqr) = 9 × 3

⇒ 99 - 27 = 3(pqr)

⇒ 72/3 = 24

∴ The value of pqr is 24.
