Answers:
1). c) 2).
b) 3). d) 4). a) 5). c) 6). e) 7).
c) 8). d) 9). a) 10). c)
1).Given
ratio A : B = 2 : 3
B
: C = 5 : 6
:.
A : B : C = 10 : 15 : 18
Now,
43x = 860
:.
X=20
A
= Rs. 200, B = Rs. 300 and C= Rs. 360
Difference
= 18x – 10x = 8x
=
8×20 = Rs. 160
Answer: c
2).Required
% increase in area
=
20 + 15 + (20×15)/100 = 38%
Answer: b
3).Let
the CP be Rs. 100.
:.
SP at 20% profit = Rs. 120
And,
SP at 30% profit = Rs. 130
:.
Difference of SP = (130-120) = Rs. 10
If
the difference of SP is Rs. 10 then CP = Rs. 100
:.
If the difference is Rs. 36 then CP = (100/10) × 36 = Rs.360
Answer: d
4).Equivalent
discount
=
100-[(100×80)/100] × [(85/100)] × [(70/100)]
=
100 - (238/5)
=
100 - 47.6
=
52.4%
Answer: a
5).Let
the amount be A and the sum be P.
Then,
A=(P+[(P×r×t)/100])
Or,
1300 = P(I+[(rt/100)])
Or,
1300=P(100+rt)/100
P=(1300×100)/100+(3×10)
= (1300×100)/130
=
Rs. 1000
Answer: c
6).1368=
P[(1+20/100)4-1] – (PRt/100)
Or,
1368=P[(6/5)4 -1-(20×4)/100]
Or,
1368= P[(1296/625)-1-(4/5)]
Or,
1368 = P[(1296-625-500)/625]
Or,
1368 = [P×(171/625)]
Or,
P= [(1368×625)/171]
Or,
P=Rs. 5000
Answer: e
7).20
men = 40 women
:.1
man = 2 women
:.48 men = 96 women
:.48
men + 34 women = 96+34 = 130 women
:.40
women do a piece of work in 39 days
:.130
women do the same piece work in [(39×40)/130] = 12 days
Answer: c
8).Pipe
A fills (1/30) part in 1 minute.
Pipe
B fills (1/45) part in 2nd minute.
In
2 minutes the part of the cistern filled = [(1/30) + (1/45)]
= (5/90) = (1/18)
:.(1/18)
part of cistern is filled in 2 minutes
1
part of the cistern will be full in = (18×2) = 36 minutes
Answer: d
9).Circumference
of wheel = πd
=
[(22/7)×56] = 1.76 meters
:.
Distance travelled in 1 minute = (1.76×1000) = 1760 meters
:. Speed = 1760 m per minute
Answer: a
10).Total
distance = (380+460) = 840m
:.Relative
speed = (35 + 55) kmph
=
[(90×5)/18] = 25m/s
Time
= 840/25
=33.6
minutes
Answer: c
