  • Question 1/10
    3 / -0

    The speed of train A is x km/ hr crosses 120 m platform in 16 seconds and the speed of train B is 108 km/hr it crosses the same platform in 40/3 seconds. If the length of the train A and B are the same, find the value of x.

    Solutions

    Speed of the train = x kmph

    Length of the platform = 120m

    Time taken by the train to cross the platform = 16 seconds

    Length of the both trains = y m

    ( y + 120)/(x ×  (5/18)) = 16

    (y + 120) = 5x/18 ×  16

    (y + 120) = 40x/9

    x = (y + 120)×  9/40

    Again,

    (y + 120) /(108 ×  5/18) = 40/3

    (y + 120)/30 = 40/3

    (y + 120) = 400

    y = 280m

    x = (280 + 120) ×  9/40 = 90kmph

    Hence, option(2) is correct.

  • Question 2/10
    3 / -0

    A alone can complete the project in 10 days; B alone can complete it in 20 days while C alone can complete it in 30 days. They together earn Rs. 1,100 for the project. By how much do the total earnings of A and C exceed the earnings of B?

    Solutions

    Given:

    A's time = 10 days,

    B's time = 20 days,

    C's time = 30 days,

    Total earning = Rs. 1,100

    Concept Used:

    Work done is inversely proportional to time

    Calculation:

    ⇒ A's work/day : B's work/day : C's work/day = 1/10 : 1/20 : 1/30 = 6 : 3 : 2

    ⇒ Earnings of A and C = (6 + 2)/11 ×  Rs. 1,100 = Rs. 800

    ⇒ Earnings of B = 3/11 × Rs. 1,100 = Rs. 300

    ⇒ Difference = Rs. 800 - Rs. 300 = Rs. 500

    Therefore, the total earnings of A and C exceed the earnings of B by Rs. 500.

    ∴ Option 4 is the correct answer.

  • Question 3/10
    3 / -0

    When the price of the product was decreased by 12%, the number sold increased by 24%. What was the effect on the total revenue in percentage?

    Solutions

    Formula used:

    % change in revenue = (New revenue - Initial revenue) / Initial revenue] × 100

    Calculation:

    Let's assume the initial price of the product is 100 Rs & initial items sold out be 100 units.

    New price = 100 - (12% of 100) = 100 - 12 = 88 Rs.

    Initial number sold increase = 100

    New number sold = 100 + (24% of 100) = 100 + 24 = 124 units

    Initial total revenue = Initial price × Initial number sold

    ⇒ 100 × 100 = 10,000 Rs

    New total revenue = 88 × 124 = 10,912 Rs.

    % change in revenue = (New revenue - Initial revenue) / Initial revenue] × 100

    ⇒ [(10,912 - 10,000) / 10,000] × 100

    ⇒  [912 / 10,000] × 100 = 9.12%

    Therefore, the effect on total revenue is an increase of approximately 9.12%.

  • Question 4/10
    3 / -0

    (120% of 675) + 92 = (? % of 1240) + 716

    Solutions

    Formula Used:

    X% = X/100

    Calculation:

    (120% of 675) + 92 = (? % of 1240) + 716

    ⇒ 810 + 92 = 12.4 × ? + 716

    ⇒ 902 - 716 = 12.4 × ?

    ⇒ 186/12.4 = ? = 15

    ∴ The correct answer is 15

  • Question 5/10
    3 / -0

    A dealer announces 8% and 18% discounts on a watch. If the selling price of the watch is ₹943, then the marked price of the watch is:

    Solutions

    Given:

    Selling price = ₹943

    Discounts = 8%, 18%

    Concept:

    The effective selling price after consecutive discounts of x% and y% on the marked price is (100 - x)(100 - y)% of the marked price.

    Calculation:

    Let the marked price be 'M'

    ⇒ 0.82 × 0.92 × M = 943

    ⇒ M = 943/(0.82 × 0.92)

    Therefore, the marked price of the watch is ₹1,250.

  • Question 6/10
    3 / -0

    There are 50 workers in a factory. Every man gets 95 Rs, and every woman gets 70 Rs. The sum of their wages is Rs 4100. Find the number of men.

    Solutions

    Given:

    Total workers = 50

    Wages of each man = Rs. 95

    Wages of each woman = Rs. 70

    Total wages = Rs. 4100

    Concept used:

    Total wages = Wages per head × Total number of workers

    Calculation:

    Let, number of men = a, and number of women = b

    According to the question,

    a + b = 50

    ⇒ b = 50 - a     ---(1)

    95 × a + 70 × b = 4100

    ⇒ 95a + 70(50 - a) = 4100

    ⇒ 95a + 3500 - 70a = 4100

    ⇒ 25a = 4100 - 3500

    ⇒ 25a = 600

    ⇒ a = 600/25 = 24

    ∴ The number of men is 24.

  • Question 7/10
    3 / -0

    Evaluate the compound interest on Rs. 10101 for 3 years at the rate of 9% per annum compounded annually.

    Solutions

    Given:

    Principal = Rs.10101, Time = 3 years, Rate = 9%

    Formula used:

    A = P(1 + r/100)n

    Calculation:

    A  = P(1 + r/100)n 

    ⇒ A = 10101[(1 + 9/100)3

    ⇒ A = 10101 × (109/100) × (109/100) × (109/100)

    ⇒ A = 13081.08

    CI = 13081.08 - 10101 = 2980

    ∴ The answer is 2980.

  • Question 8/10
    3 / -0

    In the following pie chart shows percentage of a country on different heads. The total expenditure is Rs. 1,680 (in billions). Study the chart and answer the question.

    The central angle of the sector representing expenditure on Subsidy is:

    Solutions

    Given:

    Subsidy = 21%

    Formula used:

    Required angle = (360/100) × given percentage

    Calculation:

    Required angle = (360/100) × given percentage

    ⇒ subsidy angle = (360/100) × 21

    ⇒ subsidy angle = 75.6°

    ∴ The central angle for subsidy is 75.6°

  • Question 9/10
    3 / -0

    The profit made by selling an article for Rs. 4,400 is equal to the amount of loss incurred on selling the same article for Rs. 3,600. What will be the profit per cent, if it was sold for Rs. 4,800?

    Solutions

    Given:

    The profit made by selling an article for Rs. 4,400 is equal to the amount of loss incurred on selling the same article for Rs. 3,600

    Formula used:

    Profit = selling price - cost price

    Profit%  = Profit × 100/cost price.

    Calculation:

    let cost price be Rs. X

    According to the question:

    (4400 - X) = (X - 3600)

    ⇒ 8000 = 2X

    ⇒ X = 4000

    if sp = 4800

    Then, Profit = selling price - cost price

    ⇒ Profit = 4800 - 4000 = Rs.800

    ⇒ Profit % = Profit × 100/cost price

    ⇒ Profit = (800 × 100)/4000 = 20%

     The profit percent is 20%.

  • Question 10/10
    3 / -0

    When an article is sold at Rs.3825 after a discount of 25%, find its marked price.(in Rs)

    Solutions

    Given:

    Selling Price = Rs. 3825

    Discount = 25%

    Formula used:

    MRP = SP × 100/(100- D%)

    Calculation:

    MRP = SP × 100/(100- D%)

    ⇒ 3825 × 100/(100- 25)

    ⇒ 3825 × 100/75 = Rs 5100

    ∴ The Marked Price of an article is Rs 5100.
