Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Let the distance and original speed be 'd' km and 'k' kmph respectively.

d/0.8k - d/k = 20/60 => 5d/4k - d/k = 1/3

=> (5d - 4d)/4k = 1/3 => d = 4/3 k

Time taken to cover the distance at original speed

= d/k = 4/3 hours = 1 hour 20 minutes.

Required difference = 19/16 - 16/19  =  105/304..

Deepa invested Rs.50,000 for 12 months, Rs.(50000 + 20000) for 12 months and Rs.(50000 + 20000 + 20000) for 12 months.
i.e, she invested Rs.50,000 for 12 months, Rs.70000 for 12 months and Rs.90000 for 12 months.
Sushma invested Rs. 70000 for 2 years; i.e, Rs.70000 for 24 months
And, Avanthi invested Rs.70000 for 1 year; i.e, Rs. 70000 for 12 months.

Their investing ratio:
Deepa : Sushma : Avanthi = (50,000 x 12 + 70000 x 12 + 90000 x 12):(70000 x 24):(70000 x 12)
= (25,20,000):(16,80,000):(8,40,000) = 252:168:84 = 3:2:1

Total profit for 3 years = Rs.3,00,000
Therefore, Sushma's share = Rs.(3,00,000 x 2 /(3+2+1)) = Rs.(3,00,000 x 2/6) = Rs.1,00,000.

Given that the month begins on a Friday and has 31 days

Sundays = 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st
=> Total Sundays = 5

Every second & fourth Saturday is holiday.
2nd & 4th Saturday in every month = 2

Total days in the month = 31

Total working days = 31 - (5 + 2) = 24 days.

In this type of question, we will first calculate the distance covered in given time.

Distance covered will be : Number of revolutions x Circumference 

So we will be having distance and time, from which we can calculate the speed. 

Radius of wheel = 70 / 2 = 35 cm

Distance covered in 40 revolutions will be 40*circumferene=40*2πr=40*2*227*35=8800cm = 88 m

Distance covered in 1 sec  = 8810=8.8m/s=8.8*185km/hr=31.68km/hr

Let the original price of the cycle be 100. After the first reduction the price will be 75.

This new price is then reduced by 20% = 0.8 x 75 = 60

60 represents a reduction of 40 percent on the original.
