b. Rs 18,040
c. Rs 18,942
d. Rs 12,628
|
Answer

|
ANSWER: Rs 12,628
Explanation:
For a given business profit is directly dependent upon the capital invested and the time of investment.
=> Ratio of shares of Akash and Akshay becomes: (35,000*8)/(42,000*10) = 2/3
=>% of profit belonging to Akash: 2/(3+2)*(31,570)
=>Rs 12,768

4) In what ratio must one add water to milk so as to gain 16.666% on the selling this mixture at the cost price?
a. 1:6
b. 1:3
c. 6:1
d. 3:1
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 1:6
Explanation:
To start off this question let us assume that cost price of 1 litre milk is Rs 1
Now need to make a mixture and sell this mixture at 1 Rs per litre such that the total gain on mixture is 16.667%.
Therefore, CP of 1 litre of mixture becomes (quantity of milk)/ (quantity of mixture containing 1 L milk)*(price of 1 litre milk).
=>(100/(100+50/3))*1
=>CP of 1 litre milk of mixture: Rs 5/6
As price of any amount of water is zero, and as 1 litre milk costs Rs 1.5/6litre of mixture will comprise entirely of cost of milk which means,1 litre of mixture will
contain 5/6th amount of milk.
=>Water is added in the ratio of (1-5/6)=1/6

5) Ram can finish a puzzle in 3 hours and Shyam can do the same in 2 hours. Both of them finish the puzzle and get 15 candies. What is Ram’s share?
a. 3
b. 6
c. 11
d. 12
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 6
Explanation:
The question is based on efficiency to do work.
Ram can finish a puzzle in 3 hours. Shyam can finish the puzzle in 2 hours.
=>In one hour Ram can finish 1/3rd of a puzzle
=>In one hour Shyam can finish half the puzzle
A total of 15 candies are to be shared amongst both of them
Hence Ram’s share must be = ((Work done by Ram in 1 hour)/(Work done by Shyam in one hour)+(Work done by Ram in hour))*15
=> 1/3/((1/2)+(1/3))*15
=> (1/3/(5/6))*15
=> 6/15*(15)
=>6 candies

6) A man sells 45 lemons for Rs 40 and loses 20%. At how much price should he sell 24 lemons to the next customer to make a 20% profit?
a. 32
b. 20
c. 24
d. 16
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 32
Explanation:
Let cost price of lemons be x.
Selling price of lemons becomes CP - loss.
=>SP=x-(20/100)x
=>40=x(80/100)
=>50
So 45 lemons cost Rs 50
Cost of 1 lemon = 50/45 Rs
Cost of 24 lemons = (50/45)*24 =80/3 Rs
Selling Price of 24 lemons =(80/3)+(20/100)(80/3)=Rs 32

5, 8, 20, 42, 124, 246
a. 20
b. 42
c. 124
d. 246
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 20
Explanation:
The series is followed on the pattern of 2 alternate sequences with common formula being 2n-2 and 3n-2 respectively.
8 = 2*5-2
22 = 3*8-2
42 = 22*2-2
124 = 42*3-2
246 = 124*2-2
Hence, 20 is the odd no.

16) Sum of products of three numbers taken two at a time is 131. Sum of squares of the three numbers is 138. What is the sum of the three numbers?
a. 25
b. 30
c. 20
d. 22
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 20
Explanation:
All the data given in the question points to the equation mentioned below:
Considering the three numbers to be a,b and c:
(a+b+c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
Accordingly, substitute for a, b and c and solve:
=> a2+b2+c2= 138, ab+bc+ac = 131. Thus, 2(ab+bc+ac)= 2*131= 262
(a+b+c)2= 138+262= 400.
Therefore, a+b+c= 20

17) Two pipes A and B can fill a cistern in 37.5 minutes and 45 minutes respectively. This cistern will be filled in half an hour if both the pipes are opened together initially and pipe B is then turned off after X minutes. What is X?
a. 10 minutes
b. 15 minutes
c. 12 minutes
d. 9 minutes
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 9 minutes
Explanation:
Let B be turned off after X minutes.
Part of water will be filled by A + B in x minutes + After tap B is closed rest filled by A in (30-x) minutes = 1
=> x/(time taken to fill the container by each separately) + 30 - x/(time taken to fill the container by A alone) = 1
=> x(2/75 + 1/45) + (30-x)2/75 = 1
=> 11x + 180 – 6x = 225
Therefore, x = 9 minutes

19) A sum of money becomes Rs 13,380 in 3 years and Rs 20,070 in 6 years at compound interest. The initial sum is?
a. Rs 9040
b. Rs 8900
c. Rs 8920
d. Rs 9160
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: Rs 8920
Explanation:
Use the formula Amount = Principal Amount(1 + R/100)n
Where r is rate and t is time in years
=>13,380 = P(1+R/100)2 --(1)
=>20,070 = P(1+R/100)6 --(2)
=> 1.5 = (1+R/100)4
=> P = Rs 8920
