Q:

A bike runs at the speed of 35 km/h when not serviced and runs at 55 km/h, when serviced. After servicing the bike covers a certain distance in 5 h. How much approximate time will the bike take to cover the same distance when not serviced?

A) 8 hrs B) 7.5 hrs
C) 7 hrs D) 6.5 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8 hrs

Explanation:

Given speed of the bike after servicing = 55 kmph

Time taken for travelling some distance at 55 kmph = 5 hrs

Then, 

Distance = Speed x Time = 55 x 5 = 275 kms.

Now, 

Speed of the bike before servicing = 35 kmph

Distance = 275 kms

Now, Time = Distance/Speed = 275/35 = 7.85 hrs =~ 8 hrs.

Q:

In a hostel the rent per room is increased by 20%. If number of rooms in the hostel is also increased by 20% and the hostel is always full, then what is the percentage change in the total collection at the cash counter?

A) 30% B) 40%
C) 44% D) 48%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 44%

Explanation:
Let initial rent be rs 10
And initial rooms be 10
So initial collection = 10*10 = Rs 100
Now new rent = 10 + 20% of 10 = 12
New no of rooms = 10 + 20% of 10 = 12
So new collection = 12*12 = 144
% change in collection = (144-100)/100*100 = 44%

A) 76 B) 60
C) 56 D) 52
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

Total engineers = 4800

Number of female engineers = 3/8 x 4800 = 1800

Then, number of male engineers = 4800 - 1800 = 3000

Now, required is female engineers is what percentage of the number of male engineers

=> 1800 is what % of 3000

=> p x 3000/100 = 1800

=> 30p = 1800
