JMO questions STD V / STD VI

1.       You are given that 47658 x 39876 = 1900410408. Without directly multiplying, use the given information to solve the following question:
52.342 x 0.60124
2.       Find the value of 19999 x 299999 using the information 19999 = 20000 – 1 and 299999 = 300000 – 1.
3.       Consider the number 12345.....11121314........566. Find the 500th digit.

fill in the next numbers:
2, 7, 10, 22, 18, 37, 26,........


pipes and cistern

A leak in the bottom of a tank can empty the full tank in 6 hours. An inlet pipe fills water at the rate of 4 liters a minute. When the tank is full, the inlet is opened and due to the leak, the tank is empty in 24 hours. How many liters does the cistern hold?


pipes and cisterns

Three pipes A, B and C can fill a tank in 6 hours. All the three pipes are kept open for 2 hours, C is then closed and A and B fills the remaining part in 7 hours. The number of hours taken by C alone to fill the tank is ................


pipes and cisterns

A tank is filled in 10 hours by three pipes A, B and C. The pipe C is twice as fast as B and B is twice as fast as A. How much time will pipe A alone take to fill the tank?

pipes and cisterns

Three pipes A, B and C can fill up a tank from empty to full in 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 30 minutes respectively. When the tank is empty, all the three pipes are opened. A, B and C discharge chemical solutions P,Q and R respectively. What is the proportion of the solution P in the liquid in the tank after 6 minutes?
