Q:

A jar was full with honey. A person used to draw out 20% of the honey from the jar and replaced it with sugar solution. He has repeated the same process 4 times and thus there was only 512 gm of honey left in the jar, the rest part of the jar was filled with the sugar solution. The initial amount of honey in the jar was filled with the sugar solution. The initial amount of honey in the jar was:

A) 1.25 kg	B) 1 kg
C) 1.5 kg	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1.25 kg

Explanation:

Let the initial amount of honey in the jar was K, then

$512 = K {(1 - \frac{1}{5})}^{4}$ $[∵ 20 % = \frac{20}{100} = \frac{1}{5}]$

or

$512 = K {(\frac{4}{5})}^{4}$

Therefore, K = 1250

Hence initially the honey in the jar= 1.25 kg

Q:

A is 30% more efficient than B. How much time will they, working together, take to complete a job which A alone could have done in 23 days ?

A) 9 days	B) 11 days
C) 13 days	D) 15 days

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 13 days

Explanation:

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.
Suppose B takes x days to do the work.

Then, 10 : 13 :: 23 : x => x = ( 23 x 13/10 ) => x = 299 /10.

A's 1 day's work = 1/23 ;
B's 1 day's work = 10/299 .

(A + B)'s 1 day's work = ( 1/23 + 10/299 ) = 23/299 = 113 .

Therefore, A and B together can complete the work in 13 days.

Q:

A bag contains 600 coins of 25 p denomination and 1200 coins of 50 p denomination. If 12% of 25 p coins and 24% of 50 p coins are removed, the percentage of money removed from the bag is nearly :

A) 21.6 %	B) 15.3 %
C) 14.6 %	D) 12.5 %

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 21.6 %

Explanation:

Total money = Rs.[600*(25/100)+1200*(50/100)]= Rs. 750.

25 paise coins removed = Rs. (600*12/100) = 72.

50 paise coins removed = Rs. (1200*24/100)= 288.

Money removed =Rs.(72*25/100+288*50/100) = Rs.162.

Required percentage = (162/750*100)% = 21.6 %.
