Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Since it does not matter what order the committee members are chosen in, the combination formula is used.

Committees are always a combination unless the problem states that someone like a president has higher hierarchy over another person. If the committee is ordered, then it is a permutation.

C(17,7)= 19,448

Let C.P.= Rs. 100.

Then, Profit = Rs.220, 

S.P. = Rs.320.

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125 

New S.P. = Rs.320.

Profit = Rs. (320 - 125) = Rs. 195

Required percentage = 195320×100== 60.9 =~ 61%

Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.
Then, x/y - x/(y+3) = 40/60 --> 2y (y+3) = 9x ----- (i)
Also, x/(y-2) - x/y = 40/60 --> y(y-2) = 3x -------- (ii)
On dividing (i) by (ii), we get:

x = 40 km.

Vol of silver = πR2h  = 66 C.C  

Given D= 1mm => R = D/2 = 1/20 cm  

=> 227×1202×h = 66

= 66 x 400 x (7/22) = 8400 cm = 84 mtrs.

The year 1985 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.

So, the day on 19th June, 1985 will be 1 day after the day on 19th June, 1984.

But, 19th June,1984 is Monday

S0, 19th June, 1985 is Tuesday.

Let work done by 1 man in i day be m

and Let work done by 1 boy in 1 day be b

From the given data,

4(5m + 3b) = 23

20m + 12b = 23....(1)

2(3m + 2b) = 7

6m + 4b = 7 ....(2)

By solving (1) & (2), we get

m = 1, b = 1/4

Let the number of required boys = n

6(7 1 + n x 1/4) = 45

=> n = 2.

Given ratio of initial mixture of milk and water in Q = 5 : 3

Let the initial quantity of mixture in vessel Q = 8x

Let quantity of Milk = 5x and

Let quantity of water = 3x

According to the question,

5x + 10 x 353x + 10 x 25 = 85

=> 25x + 30 = 24x + 32

=> x = 2

Required Initial quantity of milk = 5x = 5 x 2 = 10 lit.
