A vessel, full of water, weighs 16.5 kg. When the vessel is (1/4)th full, it weight 5.25 kg. Then, weight of the empty vessel (in kg) is ?
Let the weight of vesel = x kg Then, 1/4 of volume of water = (5.25 - x)kg Full volume of water = (16.5 - x)∴ 4(5.25 - x) = (16.5 - x)⇒ 21 - 4x = 16.5 - x ⇒ 21 - 16.5 = 3x ∴ x = 4.5/3 = 1.5 kg
Number of decimal places in the given expression = 8Number of decimal places in (A) = 8Number of decimal places in (B) = 9 Number of decimal places in (C)= 7Clearly , the expression in (A) is the same as the given Expression.
Number of male voters = 4/10 of 1575 = 4/10 x 1575 = 630 Number of female voters=1575 - 630 = 945 Now, total votes that candidate got = (6/10) x 630 + (4/10) x 945 = 378 + 378 = 756
Length of each piece = 3 1/4 = 13/4 m Maximum pieces that can be cut = 30/(13/4) = 9 ∴ Rope left = 30 - 13/4 x 9 = 120 - 117/4 = 3/4 m∴ Required fraction = 3/4/30 = 1/4
