  • Question 22/31
    1 / -0

    The distance between Kolkata and Siliguri is 360 km. Train A starts from Kolkata at 2 : 20 pm and travel towards Siliguri at 90 km/h. Another train B starts from Siliguri at 3 pm and travel towards Kolkata at 60 km/h. At what time they will meet?

    Solutions

    From 2 : 20 pm to 3 pm only Train A travels.

    ∴ Only Train A travels for 40 min.

    ∴ In this 40 min. distance travelled by Train A = 90 × 40/60 km = 60 km [∵ Speed of Train A = 90 km/h]

    ∴ Remaining distance between Kolkata and Siliguri = 360 - 60 = 300 km

    After 3pm Train A and Train B both travel.

    Relative Speed between Train A and Train B = 60 + 90 = 150 km/h [∵ Train A and Train B travel towards opposite direction]

    Let, T hours needed before both the trains meet.

    ∴ 150 × T = 300

    ⇒ T = 2

    ∴ Both the trains will meet at (3 + 2) = 5 pm.

     

  • Question 23/31
    1 / -0

    A boat takes one-third the time travelling the same distance when it goes downstream than upstream. What is the ratio of the speed in still water to the speed of the current?

    Solutions

    Let the distance travelled be x km

    Let the speed of current be v km/hr

    Let the speed of boat in still water be b km/hr

    ∴ Speed of boat upstream = (b – v) km/hr

    ⇒ Speed of boat downstream = (b + v) km/hr

    ∴ Time taken to travel x distance upstream = x/(b – v) hr

    ⇒ Time taken to travel x distance downstream = x/(b + v) hr

    ⇒ b + v = 3(b – v)

    ⇒ b + v = 3b – 3v

    ⇒ 4v = 2b

    ⇒ b/v = 2 : 1

    ∴ Ratio of speed in still water to speed of current is 2 : 1

    Solutions

    Let the amount = P

    ∵ He invested 1/3 part of capital at 7%,

    ∴ S.I. on P/3 part at 7% =

    ∵ He invested 2/5 part at 10%,

    ∴ S.I. on 2P/5 part at 10% =

    ∴ Remaining part = P – P/3 – 2P/5

    ∵ Remaining part, he invested at 12%,,

    ∴ S.I. on (P - P/3 – 2P/5) at 12% =,

    ⇒ 143P/750 = 1430

    ⇒ P = 7500

     

  • Question 25/31
    1 / -0

    What is the maximum percentage discount that a shopkeeper can offer on his marked price so that he ends up selling at no profit or loss, if he had initially marked his goods up by 40%?

    Solutions

    Let the cost price of the goods to be Rs. 100

    He had initially marked his goods up by 40%.

    ∴ After40% mark-up,

    ⇒ MP = Rs. 100 + 40% of Rs. 100

    ⇒ Rs.100 + Rs. 40 = Rs. 140

    So,He offers a discount of Rs. 40 on his MP of Rs. 140

    ∴ The % discount offered by him = (Discount)/(Marked Price) × 100

    ⇒ (40/140) × 100 = 28.5%

    ∴ The % discount offered by him is 28.5%

     

  • Question 26/31
    1 / -0

    How much per cent above the cost price should a dealer mark his goods so that after allowing a discount of 20% on the marked price, he gains 15%? 

    Solutions

    Let the cost price be Rs. 100

    Gain required = 15% 

    ∴ Selling price = Rs. 115 

    Let the marked price be Rs. x 

    Then, discount = 20% of Rs. x

    ⇒ Rs. (x × 20/100) = Rs. x/5

    ∴ selling price = (Marked Price) - (discount) 

    ⇒ Rs. {x - (x/5)} = Rs. 4x/5

    ∴ 4x/5 = 115 

    ⇒ x = {115 × (5/4)} = 143.75 ≈ 144 

    ∴ Marked price = Rs. 144 

    Hence, the marked price is 44% above cost price.

     

  • Question 27/31
    1 / -0

    A number consists of two digits. The digit in the unit’s place is 2 more than the digit in the ten’s place. If the sum of the digits is 4/19 of the number, find the number.

    Solutions

    Let the digit in the ten’s place be ‘x’.

    Digit in unit’s place = (x + 2)

    ∴ Required number = 10(x) + x + 2 = 11x + 2

    Now,

    Sum of digits = 4/19 × (11x + 2)

    ⇒ x + x + 2 = 4/19 × (11x + 2)

    ⇒ 2x + 2 = 4/19 × (11x + 2)

    ⇒ 38x + 38 = 44x + 8

    ⇒ 44x – 38x = 38 – 8

    ⇒ 6x = 30

    ⇒ x = 30/6 = 5

    Hence, the number = 11(5) + 2 = 55 + 2 = 57

     

  • Question 28/31
    1 / -0

    Number obtained by interchanging the digits of a two digit number is less than the original number by 54, and the sum of the digit if 8. What is original two digit number?

    Solutions

    Let the unit digit of number be x and tenth digit be y

    Then,

    Number = 10y + x

    Number obtained by reversing its digits = 10x + y

    Number obtained by interchanging the digits of a two digit number is less than the original number by 54

    ∴ (10y + x) – (10x + y) = 54

    ⇒ 9y – 9x = 54

    ⇒ y – x = 6      ----eq (1)

    Sum of the digits of the number = 8

    ∴ y + x = 8      ----eq (2)

    By adding eq (1) and eq (2), we get

    2y = 14

    ⇒ y = 7

    By putting this value of y in eq(2), we get

    7 + x = 8

    ⇒ x = 1

    ∴ Original two digit number = (10 × 7) + 1 = 71

     

  • Question 29/31
    1 / -0

    A milkman produces three kinds of milk. On a particular day, he has 170 litres, 102 litres and 374 litres of the three kinds of milk. He wants to bottle them in bottles of equal sizes so that each of the three varieties of milk would be completely bottled. How many bottle sizes are possible such that the bottle size in terms of litres is an integer?

    Solutions

    According to question -

    ⇒ The no. of bottle sizes possible = Factors of HCF (170, 102, 374)

    ⇒ HCF (170, 102, 374) = 34

    ⇒ Factors of 34 = 1, 2, 17, 34

    ∴ Total no. of bottle sizes possible = 4

     

  • Question 30/31
    1 / -0

    Which of the following number should be added to 28614 so that 89 divides the result exactly?

    Solutions

    On dividing 28614 by 89, we get

    ⇒ 89 × 321 + 45 = 28614

    The required number to be added = 89 - 45 = 44

    We can also verify as:

    ⇒ 28614 + 44 = 28658 = 89 × 322

    ∴ 44 should be added to 28614 to make it exactly divisible by 89
