  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    A container contains 10 litres of water. 4 litres of the water replaced with same amount of acid. After sometimes 4 litres of the solution is replaced with same amount of acid. What is the percentage of acid in the container now?

    Solutions

    Step1: 6L water, 4L acid

    4L will contain: 2.4L water, 1.6L acid

    Step2: water = 6L - 2.4L = 3.6L

    Acid = 10 - 3.6 = 6.4L

    Percentage of acid = 6.4 * 100 /10 = 64%.

    Or

    The replacing acid is 40% of the total quantity.

    So in final mixture the amount of water is

    10/100 * 60/100 * 60 = 3.6 liters

    The amount of acid is,

    10 – 3.6 = 6.4 liters

    Required % = 6.4/10 * 100 = 64%\

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    If the length and breadth of a rectangle are increased by 12 cm and 8 cm respectively, the perimeter is increased by 40 cm what was the area of the rectangle initially?

    Solutions

    Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be l and b respectively.

    The perimeter = 2l+ 2b cm

    The perimeter of the new rectangle = 2(l + 12) + 2(b + 8) = 2l + 2b + 40

    Without knowing the value of l and b, we could not determine the required answer

     

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    A received Rs.600 as profit from the total profit of Rs.1250 which he and B earned at the end of one year of the business. If A started the business with an initial investment of Rs.7200 and B joined him after 2 months, then what is the investment of B?

    Solutions

    Total profit = 1250

    Share of A in profit = 600

    Share of B in profit = 1250 - 600 = 650

    Profit ratio, A: B = 600: 650 = 12: 13

    Investment of A = 7200

    Let investment of B = a

    Period of investment of A = 12 months

    Period of investment of 8 = 12 - 2 = 10 months

    Profit ratio, A: B = 7200 * 12: a * 10 = 8640: a

    Then, 12:13 = 8640: a

    a = Rs.9360

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    A fruit seller had some oranges and apples. He sold 20% oranges to A, 40% of remaining to B and had 48 oranges left. Similarly, he sold 40% apples to A, 100 apples to B and had 10% apples left. Find the total number of apples and oranges that the shopkeeper had initially.

    Solutions

    Let 'a' and 'b' are number of oranges and apples respectively.

    Oranges sold to A = 20/100 * a = 0.2 a

    Oranges sold to B = (a – 0.2a) * 40/100 = 0.32 a

    Remaining number of oranges = a – (0.2a + 0.32 a) = 0.48 a

    => 48 = 0.48 a

    => 100 = a

    Apples sold to A = 40/100 * b = 0.4 b

    Remaining number of Apples = 10/100 * b =0.1 b

    Apples sold to B = 100

    => 100 = b – (0.4 b + 0.1 b)

    => 100 = 0.5 b

    => 200 = b

    Total number of apples and oranges = a + b = 100 + 200 = 300

    Or

    Short cut:

    Let 'a' and 'b' are number of oranges and apples respectively.

    48 = 60% of (100 - 20)% of a

    a = 100

    100 = (100 - 40 - 10)% of b

    b = 200

    Total apples and oranges = 100 + 200 = 300

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    The selling price of 8 articles is equal to the cost price of 10 articles. What is the percentage profit in selling the articles?

    Solutions

    S.P of 8 articles = C.P of 10 articles

    S.P of 1 article = C.P of (5/4) article

    Let C.P of 1 article be Rs 4

    S.P of 1 article = (5/4)*4 = Rs. 5

    So, percentage profit = ((5 - 4)/4)*100% = 25%

     

  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0

    A sum of Rs.2900 amounts to Rs 3422 in 3 years at simple interest. If the interest rates were increased by 3% value what would it amount to in the same period?

    Solutions

    SI = 3422 - 2900 = 522

    Rate = SI * 100/(P * time) = 522 * 100/(2900 * 3) = 6%

    New rate = 6 + 3 = 9%

    New SI = 2900 * 9 * 3/100 = Rs. 783

    Amount = P + SI = 2900 + 783 = 3683

     

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0

    Jagan and Josh started running simultaneously towards each other with speeds in the ratio 3:4 if the initial separation between the two is 4.2 km and they meet in 3 minutes, what is the difference between their speeds?

    Solutions

    Let the speeds of Jagan and Josh be 3k km/hr and 4k km/hr

    Relative speed = 3k + 4k = 7k km/hr

    So, 7k * (3/60) = 4.2

    => k = 12

    Difference between their speeds = 4k - 3k = 12 km/hr

     

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0

    A tank is normally filled in 10 hours but due to leak at bottom it takes 2 hours more. If the tank is full, the leak will empty it in

    Solutions

    Let leak empty it in x hours, then

    1/10 - 1/x = 1/12

    Or, x = 60 hours

     

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0

    What is the present age of Simian, who is 9 years elder to Santhi and present age of Prasanth is double of the age of Santhi and average age of all the three persons together at present is 23 years?

    Solutions

    Let the present age of Subha, Prasanth and Santhi is 'x', 'y' and 'z' respectively.

    (x + y + z)/3 =23

    (x + y + z) = 69.... (1)

    y = 2Z ... (2) From (1) and (2):

    x + 3z = 69....(3)

    x - z = 9....(4)

    From (3) and (3):

    4x = 96

    x = 24 years

     

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0

    Mano and Varthan started a business with an investment of Rs.3200 and Rs.4800 respectively. Mano invested for 40% of the year and Varthan invested for remaining time. In what ratio, Mano and Varthan received profit after one year of partnership?

    Solutions

    Investment of Mano = 3200

    Investment of Varthan = 4800

    Period of investment of Mano = 40% of 12 = 4.8 months

    Period of investment of Varthan = 12 - 4.8 = 7.2 months

    Profit ratio, Mano: Varthan = 3200 * 4.8: 4800 * 7.2 = 4: 9
