  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    Neelam spent Rs. 4000 on diwali shopping, Rs. 3200 on buying accessories and the remaining 25% of the total amount she had as cash with her. What was the total amount?

    Solutions

    Let’s say total amount of Neelam is Rs. x
    So, 4000 + 3200 + x/y = x
    Hence, x=9600

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    The difference between the CI and SI for a given sum of money for 2 years is 192. If the rate of interest is 8% per annum both the cases, then find the principal?

    Solutions

    For two year period the difference between the CI and SI would be due to the interest earned on interest of first year.
    This is because both CI and SI are same if the time duration is 1 year.
    Hence,
    If the interest for the first year was x, then
    192 = x*8*1/100 => 19200/8 = x
    => x = 2400
    So the interest for the first year was 2400
    Hence the principal would be
    P = 2400*100/8 = 30000.

    Alternately,
    Let P be the principal, then
    SI = P*8*2/100 = .16P
    If the interest was compounded then the amount after 2 years will be A = P( 1 + 8/100)2 = 1.1664P
    Hence CI = 1.1664P - P = .1664P
    We have been given that
    C I - SI = 192
    => .1664P - .16P = 192
    => .0064P = 192
    => P = 30000.

     

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    Shyam drives from his office to home at 48 km/hr and from his home to office at 32 km/hr. What is his average speed?

    Solutions

    Let the distance from his home to office be x kms
    So, total distance = 2x.
    Total time = x/48 + x/32

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    A and B can complete a piece of work in 20 days and 30 days respectively. If they both together worked for 6 days, find the portion of work left.

    Solutions

    Let the total volume of work = V
    Efficiency of A = V/20
    Efficiency of B = V/30
    Work competed in 6 days = (V/20 + V/30)*6 = (V/12)*6 = V/2
    Portion of work left = 1/2

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    Pawan and Neeraj start a business in which Pawan invests 80,000 and Neeraj invests 50,000. After 6 months, Pawan withdraws 60,000 from his investment. At the end of the year, the business earns a profit of 3800. What would be Neeraj’s share in the profits?

    Solutions

    Pawan’s investment in rupee-month = 80000*6 + 20000*6 = 600000
    Neeraj’s investment in rupee-month = 50000*12 = 600000
    Hence the ratio of their investments = 60:60 = 1:1
    So the ratio in which they will share the profits would also be 1:1
    Hence Neeraj’s share in profit = 3800/2 = 1900

    What is the ratio of the cost of raw materials in 2014 to rent in 2013?

    Solutions

    As rent is same over the years, we can determine the ratio of costs for 2014 wrt 2013. As rent is the same proportion of overall cost for these two years, the total costs must have been the same i.e. say x.
    Hence, required ratio = 20% of x/ 26.67% of x
    =20/26.67 = 60/80 = 3:4

    What is the percentage change in the amount spent on Labour from 2012 to 2015?

    Solutions

    Let the total cost in 2012 be x and 2015 be y.
    Hence, rent = 32% of x = 24.62% of y
    => y = 32/24.62 * x = 1.3 x
    Labour cost in 2012 = 40% of x
    Labour cost in 2015 = 46.15% of y = 46.15% * 1.3 x

    % Change = (46.15% * 1.3 - 40%)/40%
    =(60-40)/40 = 50%

    What is the ratio of amount spent on Machine maintenance in 2015 versus 2011?

    Solutions

    Let total cost in 2011 be x and 2015 be y.
    Rent = 30.77% of x = 24.62% of y
    => y = 1.25 x
    Hence, required ratio = 4.62% *1.25 / 2.88% = 2:1

    If the amount spent on raw materials in 2014 was 2400, then how much was approximately spent on electricity in 2013?

    Solutions

    Total costs 2014 = 2400/20% = 12000
    As rent paid in both 2013 and 2014 are same proportion of total cost,
    Total costs 2013 = Total costs 2014 = 12000
    Hence, amount spent on electricity = 5.83% of 12000 = 699.6 ≈ 700.
