Q:

A certain factory employed 600 men and 400 women and the average wager was Rs. 25.50 per day, If a woman got Rs. 5 less than a man, then what are their daily wages ?

A) m:25.50 w:27.50 B) m:27.50 w:22.50
C) m:26.50 w:27.50 D) m: 24.50 w:26.50
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) m:27.50 w:22.50

Explanation:

Let the daily wage of a man be Rs. x.

Then, daily wage of a woman = Rs. (x - 5).

Now, 600x + 400 (x - 5) = 25.50 * (600 + 400) <=>  1000x = 27500 <=>  x = 27.50.

Man's daily wages = Rs. 27.50; Woman's daily wages = (x - 5) = Rs. 22.50.

Q:

A certain sum amounts to Rs.7350 in 2 years and to Rs.8575 in 3 years.find the sum and rate percent

A) 3400 B) 4400
C) 5400 D) 6400
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5400

Explanation:

Interest for 1 year is the same whether it's simple interest or the compound interest.

Now interest of third year = 8575 - 7350 = 1225; means principal for this interest is 7350 if comound interest is takenIf 7350 is the principal interest = 1225

if 100 is the principal interest =(1225/7350) * 100 = 50/3 %

When a thing increases for two successive times the overall increase on initial amount = a + b + (a * b)/100

Therefore overall interest for two years = 50/3 + 50/3 + [(50/3)*(50/3)]/100 = 325/9 %

Therefore amount after 2 years = 100 + 325/9 = 1225/9

If 1225/9 is the amount principal =100

if 7350 is the amount principal =(900/1225)*7350 =5400

So sum = 5400; Rate = 50/3 %
