Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

Let the C.P be Rs.100 and S.P be Rs.x, Then
The profit is (x-100)
Now the S.P is doubled, then the new S.P is 2x
New profit is (2x-100)
Now as per the given condition;
=> 3(x-100) = 2x-100
By solving, we get
x = 200
Then the Profit percent = (200-100)/100 = 100
Hence the profit percentage is 100%

One day's work of A, B and C = (1/24 + 1/30 + 1/40) = 1/10.

C leaves 4 days before completion of the work, which means only A and B work during the last 4 days.

Work done by A and B together in the last 4 days = 4 (1/24 + 1/30) = 3/10.

Remaining Work = 7/10, which was done by A,B and C in the initial number of days. 

Number of days required for this initial work = 7 days. 

Thus, the total numbers of days required = 4 + 7 = 11 days.

Given 92613 x 62742241 = ? + 89

Using unit digit method,

On LHS,

1 x 1 x 1 = 1

sqrt of last digit 1 => it must end with either 9 or 1

so now

1 x 1 = 1

1 x 9 = 9

On RHS,

? + 89

=> ? = ...1 - 89 = last digit is 11- 9 = 2

or

=> ? = ...9 - 89 = last digit is 9 - 9 = 0

Here in the options last digit 2 is option C.

Justification:      

We can find the code for 'home' from the second and third statements.

For finding the code for 'they', we need the code for 'go' which cannot be determined from the given data.
Clearly, statement A is not necessary.

let each side of the square be a , then area = a2 

As given that The side is increased by 25%, then 

New side = 125a/100 = 5a/4 

New area = 5a42  

Increased area= 25a216-a2 

Increase %=9a2/16a2*100  % = 56.25%

When positions of first and the third alphabets of each of the words are interchanged, we have PAL  TUB  RAC  NOS  DIH

Clearly, PAL and TUB are the only meaningful words. These words are obtained from LAP and BUT respectively. 

Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7) and (2 vowels out of 4) = (7C3*4C2) 

= 210. 

Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210. 

Each group contains 5 letters. 

Number of ways of arranging 5 letters among themselves = 5! = 120 

Required number of ways = (210 x 120) = 25200.

Go on multiplying the given numbers by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

So, the correct next number is 1440.
