A) Rs. 38000/- B) Rs. 39500/-
C) Rs. 40000/- D) Rs. 41250/-
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 40000/-

Explanation:

Annual salary of Arun = 7,68,000 Rs.
Monthly salary = 7,68,000/12 = Rs. 64,000
Spending on children = Rs. 12,000
Rest = 52,000
1/13th of the rest = 52,000/13 = Rs. 4,000 is spent on food.
Rs. 8,000 is spent in mutual funds.
Monthly savings = 64,000 - (12,000+4,000+8,000) = Rs. 40,000.

Q:

Ali and Faizer are 27m apart. They both start walking and meet 9 hrs later, if they travel in the same direction and meet after 3 hrs if they walk in opposite dirction, Ali’s speed must most likely be ?

A) 9 m/h B) 3 m/h
C) 6 m/h D) 12 m/h
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 6 m/h

Explanation:

let, speed of Ali=X mph and Faizer=Y mph

Now, relative speed when Ali is walking int the same direction with Faizer= (X-Y)mph
hence, according to question, 27/(X-Y)=9 ; solving X-Y=3; --- (1)

Now relative speed when walking in the opposite direction= (X+Y) mph
hence, according to question, 27/(X+y)=3; solving X+Y=9; --- (2)

solving 1 and 2 we get X=6 and Y=3, where X is the speed of Ali.

A) 44 B) 32
C) 56 D) 49

so she can eat in 12 sec is 12 x 112/30 = 44.8 chocolates.

 

Her boy friend can eat one-half of 112 in twice of 30 sec

so he can eat 56 in 60 sec


Then he can eat in 12 sec is 56 x 12/60 = 11.2 chocolates.

 

Hence, together they can eat = 44.8 + 11.2 =56 chocolates in 12 seconds.
