Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Let the salaries of Maneela and Shanthi one year before be M1, S1 & now be M2, S2 respectively.

Then, from the given data,

M1/S1 = 3/4  .....(1)

M1/M2 = 4/5 .....(2)

S1/S2 = 2/3  .....(3)

and M2 + S2 = 4160  .....(4)

Solving all these eqtns, we get M2 = Rs. 1600.

Distance d = 1200km
let S be the speed

he walks 15 hours a day(i.e 24 - 9)
so totally he walks for 70 x 15 = 1050hrs.

S = 1200/1050 => 120/105 = 24/21 => 8/7kmph

given 1 1/2 of previous speed
so 3/2 * 8/7= 24/14 = 12/7

New speed = 12/7kmph

Now he rests 10 hrs a day that means he walks 14 hrs a day.

time = 840 x 7 /12 => 490 hrs
=> 490/14 = 35 days

So he will take 35 days to cover 840 km.

Here the ratio of mixtures( i.e milk , water) doesnot matter. But the important point is that whether the total amount ( either pure or mixture ) being transferred is equal or not.Since the total amount ( i.e 5 cups) being transferred from each one to another , hence A =B.

Total Items = 7
Discounted = 1
Percentage = 1/7 x 100
= 14.285%

A                   B                 C

3x                 4x                5x 

(3x+x)          2x               (5x+x)         (B Gives 1/4 to A and 1/4 to C) 

=4x              2x                 6x 

(4x+x)          2x                 5x              ( C Gives 1/6 to A) 

=5x              2x                 5x

Therefore, 5 : 2 : 5

The day of the week repeats every 7 days.

Given today is Friday. Again Friday is repeated on the 7th day, 14th,... on 7 multiple days.

Hence, Friday is on the 63rd day, as 63 is multiple of 7.

Now, the required day of the week on the 65th day is Sunday.
