How many spherical bullets can be made out of a solid cube of lead whose edge measures $44\space cm$, each bullet being $4\space cm$ in diameter.

  1. $2451$
  2. $2541$
  3. $2304$
  4. $2536$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Number of spherical bullets formed $ = \dfrac {Volume  of 

cube}{Volume   of   one   spherical  bullet} $





Volume of a cube of edge a $ = {a}^{3} $





 Volume of a sphere of radius 'r' $ = \dfrac { 4 }{ 3 } \pi { r }^{ 3 } $





As the diameter of the sphere is $4$ cm, its radius r $ = 2$ cm





Hence, number of spherical bullets formed $ = \dfrac {44 \times 44 \times 44}{\dfrac {4}{3}

\times \dfrac {22}{7} \times 2 \times 2 \times 2} = 2541 $

A hemispherical tank of radius $1\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}m$ is full of water. It is connected with a pipe which empties it at the rate of $7\space litres$ per second. How much time will it take to empty the tank completely?

  1. $26.74\space min.$
  2. $26.54\space min.$
  3. $26.4\space min.$
  4. $26\space min.$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Suppose the pipe takes $x$ seconds to empty the tank. 

Then, 
The volume of the water that flows out of the tank in $x$ seconds =Volume of the hemispherical tank

The volume of the water that flows out of the tank $x$ in seconds= Volume of the hemispherical shell of radius $175cm$

$\Rightarrow 7000x=\cfrac { 2 }{ 3 } \times \cfrac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 175\times 175\times 175$

$\Rightarrow x=\cfrac { 2 }{ 3 } \times \cfrac { 22 }{ 7 } \times \cfrac { 175\times 175\times 175 }{ 7000 } =1604.16seconds$

$\Rightarrow x=\cfrac { 1604.16 }{ 60 } =26.74\quad minutes$

Multiple choice maths measures of dispersion coefficient of variance variance and standard deviation statistics and probability range and mean deviation

If the coefficient of variation and standard deviation of a distribution are 50% and 20 respectively, then its mean is

  1. 40

  2. 30

  3. 20

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Given $\sigma = 20$, coefficient of variation $=50$ %
We know coefficient of variation $=\cfrac{\sigma }{\bar{x}}\times 100=50$
$\Rightarrow \bar{x} = 2\times \sigma = 40$

Multiple choice maths measures of dispersion coefficient of variance variance and standard deviation statistics and probability range and mean deviation

The sum of squares of deviations for $10$ observations taken from mean $50$ is $250 $. Then Co-efficient of variation is

  1. $10\%$
  2. $40\%$
  3. $50\%$

  4. None
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
$\sum(x-\overline{x})^2=250$, $\overline{x}=50$
$\Rightarrow$  Standard deviation $(\sigma)=\sqrt{\dfrac{250}{10}}=\sqrt{25}=5$
$\Rightarrow$  Coefficient of variation $=\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n}}$
                                             $=\dfrac{\sigma}{Mean}\times 100$

                                             $=\dfrac{5}{50}\times 100$

                                             $=10\%$
Multiple choice maths measures of dispersion coefficient of variance variance and standard deviation statistics and probability range and mean deviation

The Coefficient of Variation is given by:

  1. $\dfrac{Mean}{\ Standard \ \ deviation } \times 100$
  2. $\dfrac{\ Standard \ \ deviation }{Mean}$
  3. $\dfrac{Standard \ \ deviation }{Mean }\times 100$
  4. $\dfrac{Mean}{Standard \ Deviation}$

Explanation

The coefficient of variation (CV) is a standardized measure of dispersion 

. It is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean.
$CV\quad =\quad \cfrac { \sigma  }{ Mean }\times100 $

Multiple choice maths measures of dispersion coefficient of variance variance and standard deviation statistics and probability range and mean deviation

If mean of a series is 40 and variance 1486, then coefficient of variation is 

  1. $0.9021$
  2. $0.9637$
  3. $0.8864$
  4. $0.9853$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

If mean of the given dist. be $\bar{x}$ and S.D be $\sigma $
then given $\bar{x} = 40, \sigma^2 = 1486$
$\therefore$ Coefficient of variation $=\cfrac{\sigma}{\bar{x}}=\cfrac{\sqrt{1486}}{40}=.9637$

Multiple choice maths measures of dispersion coefficient of variance variance and standard deviation statistics and probability range and mean deviation

If the coefficient of variation and standard deviation of a distribution are 50% and 20 respectively, the its mean is

  1. 40

  2. 30

  3. 20

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

We know if a distribution having mean $\bar{x}$ and standard deviation $\sigma$
then coefficient of variation $=\cfrac{\sigma}{\bar{x}}\times 100$
$\therefore \cfrac{20}{\bar{x}}\times 100=50\Rightarrow \bar{x} = 40$
Hence required mean is $=40$

Multiple choice maths measures of dispersion coefficient of variance variance and standard deviation statistics and probability range and mean deviation

The sum of the squares of deviation of 10 observations from their mean 50 is 250, then coefficient of varition is

  1. 10%

  2. 40%

  3. 50%

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Given $\displaystyle \Sigma \left ( x _{i}-\overline{x} \right )^{2}=250$,$n=10,\overline{x}=50$

Now, $\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{n}\Sigma \left ( x _{i}-\overline{x} \right )^{2}}$

$= \sqrt{\dfrac{1}{10}\times 250}=5$ 
Hence coefficient of variation $\displaystyle =\dfrac{\sigma }{\overline{x}}\times 100=\dfrac{5}{50}\times 100=10$%
