34. An error 2% in excess is made while measuring the side of a square. The percentage of error in the calculated area of the square is ?


Answer: 4.04%

Explanation:
100 cm is read as 102 cm.
 A1 = (100 x 100) cm2 and A2 (102 x 102) cm2.
(A2 - A1) = [(102)2 - (100)2]
= (102 + 100) x (102 - 100)
= 404 cm2.
 Percentage error =404x 100%= 4.04%
100 x 100

33. A and B can do a work in 8 days, B and C can do the same work in 12 days. A, B and C together can finish it in 6 days. A and C together will do it in :

Answer: 8 days

Explanation:


(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1 ;
6

(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1 ;
8

(B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1 .
12

Therefore (A + C)'s 1 day's work
= ( 2 x 1 ) - ( 1 + 1 )
6 8 12

= ( 1 - 5 (
3 24

= 3
24

= 1 .
8
So, A and C together will do the work in 8 days.

32. Student A has secured 9 marks more than student B and A's marks was 56% of the sum of A&B's marks. The marks obtained by A and B are??

Answer: 
42,33

Explanation:
Let their marks be (x + 9) and x.
Then, x + 9 =56(x + 9 + x)
100

 25(x + 9) = 14(2x + 9)
 3x = 99
 x = 33
So, their marks are 42 and 33.

28. Find the output


Program:
main()
{
    int a[5] = {5, 1, 15, 20, 25};
    int i, j, m;
    i = ++a[1];
    j = a[1]++;
    m = a[i++];
    printf("%d, %d, %d", i, j, m);
}



Ans : 3,2,15

Explanation :

Step 1int a[5] = {5, 1, 15, 20, 25}; The variable arr is declared as an integer array with a size of 5 and it is initialized to
a[0] = 5a[1] = 1a[2] = 15a[3] = 20a[4] = 25 .
Step 2int i, j, m; The variable i,j,m are declared as an integer type.
Step 3i = ++a[1]; becomes i = ++1; Hence i = 2 and a[1] = 2
Step 4j = a[1]++; becomes j = 2++; Hence j = 2 and a[1] = 3.
Step 5m = a[i++]; becomes m = a[2]; Hence m = 15 and i is incremented by 1(i++ means 2++ so i=3)
Step 6printf("%d, %d, %d", i, j, m); It prints the value of the variables i, j, m
Hence the output of the program is 3, 2, 15
