Question 2. Shiva Purchased 40 Shirts For Rs.3000. He Spends 10% On Transportation. What Should Be The Selling Price Per Shirt To Gain A Profit Of 20% ?

Answer :

Total cost price of 40 shirts including transportation = 3000+ (3000*10)/100 = 3300

Given profit = 20%

Hence, Selling price = (100+20)*3300/100

S.P of 40 shirts = 3960

So S.P. of 1 shirt = 3960/40= Rs.99

Question 3. If A Man Travels With 5/6th Of His Usual Speed, He Is Late By 15 Mins. What Is The Usual Time Taken To Travel ?

Answer :

Suppose man's usual speed = s, and usual time = t 

So distance = speed *time ==> d= s*t

If he travels with 5/6th of his usual speed which is = s*5/6

And time= (t+15) and distance, d = (s*5/6)*(t+15) {as distance will be same} 

s*t = (s*5/6)*(t+15) 

t= (5t+75)/6

t= 75 min.

Question 4. If The Current Age Of Ram's Father Is Thrice Of Age Of Ram. Then After 10 Years, The Age Of Father Will Be 2 Times The Age Of Ram. The Current Age Of Ram Is ?

After 10 years, Ram age = x+10, Father's age= 3x+10

As per condition:

3x+10= 2*(x+10)

3x+10 = 2x+20

X= 10 years

Question 5. The Average Age Of Five Girls In A Hostel Is 11. The Oldest Girl Among Them Is 15 Years Old. What Is The Average Age Of The Other Girls ?

Answer :

As per question, the average age of five girls is 15, Lets X be the total age of the girls

X/5= 11

X= 55

Oldest girl age+ remaining 4 girls age= 55

Remaining 4 girls age= 55-15==> 40

Average age of 4 girls = 40/4= 10 years.

Question 6. The Cost Price Of A Bed Is Rs.2400 Which Is 20% Below The Market Price If It Is Sold At A Discount Of 16% On The Market Price Then Find Its Market Price, Selling Price And Profit ?

Answer :

Cost price of bed= Rs.2400

Let's take market price of bed = X

As the question

C.P= (X-20X)/100

C.P= 80*X/100 -> 2400=8*X/10

X = Rs.3000. 

-> S.P = 3000 ? (16*3000)/100

Selling Price = 2520 

-> Profit = 2520- 2400 ==> 120Rs. 

%profit = 120*100/2400= 5%

Question 7. In How Many Ways Letters Of World "leading" Can Be Arranged, So That Vowels Always Come Together ?

So last day of that year = Monday

Question 9. A And B Can Complete A Work In 30 Days, Working Together. Both Worked For 20 Days And Then B Left The Work. The Remaining Work Was Completed By A Alone In 20 More Days. So In How Many Days B Alone Can Complete The Entire Work.

Answer :

(A+B)'s 1-day work, when working together= 1/30

(A+B)'s 20 days' work= 20/30==> 2/3 

Remaining work = (1-2/3) ===> 1/3

Remaining work was done by A in 20 more days = 1/3

So A can complete the whole work alone in = 20* 3 ===>60 days 

Hence A's 1-day work, working alone = 1/60

B?s 1 day work, working alone = 1/30-1/60======1/60 

So B will take 60 days to for completing the entire word.

Question 10. Find The Value Of (483*483*483+ 517*517*517) / (517*517 - 517*483 + 483*483) ?

CP = 0.74(SP)

Now, (34/100)×74

X = 25.16

Question 15. P, Q And R Are Three Typists Who Working Simultaneously Can Type 216 Pages In 4 Hours. In One Hour, R Can Type As Many Pages More Than Q As Q Can Type More Than P. During A Period Of Five Hours, R Can Type As Many Pages As P Can During Seven Hours. How Many Pages Does Each Of Them Type Per Hour ?

Answer :

Let's the number of pages typed in one hour by P, Q and R be p, q and r respectively. Then,

P,Q and R typed page in 1 hrs = 216/4

=> p + q + r = 216/4

=> p + q + r = 54 ...(i)

r - q = q - p => 2p = q + r ...(ii)

5r = 7p => p = 5/7 r ...(iii)

By Solving above (i), (ii) and (iii) equations

=> p = 15, q = 18, q = 21

Question 18. A, B And C Started A Business By Investing Rs. 40,500, Rs. 45,000 And Rs. 60,000 Respectively. After 6 Months C Withdrew Rs. 15,000 While A Invested Rs. 45,000 More. In Annual Profit Of Rs. 56,100, The Share Of C Will Exceed That Of A By ?

Answer :

For one year the capital is

A = (40500 * 6 + 45000 * 6) = Rs. 5,13,000

B = (45000 * 12) = Rs. 5,40,000

C = (60000 * 6 + 45000 * 6) = Rs. 6,30,000

Ratio A : B : C = 513 : 540 : 630

C's share will exceed that of A by

= [(630 - 513)/1683] * 56100 => (117/1683) * 56100

=> (117/3) * 100 = 39 * 100 = Rs. 3900
