Q:

A earns 50% of B's salary, B earns 80% of C's salary. If the total earnings for a month is Rs. 22000, then what is the earning for A ?

A) Rs. 4000 B) Rs. 4200
C) Rs. 4400 D) Rs. 4600
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 4000

Explanation:

Let C's salary be Rs. x

Then B's salary = 80x/100

=> A's salary = (50/100) * (80x/100) = 40x/100

But given total earnings in a month = 22000

=> x + 80x/100 + 40x/100 = 22000

=> x + 120x/100 = 22000

=> x = 10000

=> A's salary = 40 x 10000/100 = Rs. 4000

Q:

The first 8 alphabets are written down at random. what is the probability that the letters b,c,d,e always come together ?

A) 1/7 B) 8!
C) 7! D) 1/14
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1/14

Explanation:

The 8 letters can be written in 8! ways.
n(S) = 8!
Let E be the event that the letters b,c,d,e always come together when the first 8 alphabets are written down.
Now the letters a, (bcde), f, g and h can be arranged in 5! ways.
The letters b,c,d and e can be arranged themselves in 4! ways.
n(E) = 5! x 4!
Now, the required P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 5! x 4!/8! = 1/14
Hence the answer is 1/14.

Q:

What is the equivalent compound ratio of 5:6::7:10::6:5  ?

A) 7 : 9 B) 9 : 7
C) 7 : 4 D) 7 : 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 7 : 10

Explanation:

Given 5:6 :: 7:10 :: 6:5

We know that compound ratio is calculated as
a:b :: c:d :: e:f
(axcxe):(bxdxf)

=> (5x7x6):(6x10x5)
=> (210):(300)
= 7:10

Q:

Pipe K fills a tank in 30 minutes. Pipe L can fill the same tank 5 times as fast as pipe K. If both the pipes were kept open when the tank is empty, how much time will it take for the tank to overflow ?

A) 3 minutes B) 2 minutes
C) 4 minutes D) 5 minutes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 5 minutes

Explanation:

Let the total capacity of tank be 90 liters.
Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by K = 3 liters.
Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by L = 15 liters.
Therefore, capacity of the tank filled by both K and L in 1 minute = 18 liters.
Hence, time taken by both the pipes to overflow the tank = 90/18 = 5 minutes.

Q:

In an election between two candidates K and L, the number of valid votes received by K exceeds those received by L by 15% of the total number of votes polled. If 20% of the votes polled were invalid and a total of 8720 votes were polled, then how many valid votes did L get ?

A) 3241 B) 2457
C) 2642 D) 2834
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2834

Explanation:

Let the total number of votes polled in the election be 100k.
Number of valid votes = 100k - 20% (100k) = 80k
Let the number of votes polled in favour of K and L be a and b respectively.
a - b = 15% (100k) => a = b + 15k
=> a + b = b + 15k + b
Now, 2b + 15k = 80k and hence b = 32.5k
It is given that 100k = 8720
32.5k = 32.5k/100k x 8720 = 2834

The number of valid votes polled in favour of L is 2834.

Q:

P, Q, R, S, T and U are six consecutive odd numbers and their average is 52. What is the product of P and U ?

A) 2212 B) 2154
C) 2349 D) 2679
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2679

Explanation:

Let x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8 and x+10 are six consecutive odd numbers.

Given that their average is 52

Then, x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 + x+8 + x+10 = 52×6

6x + 30 = 312

x = 47

So Product = 47 × 57 = 2679

Q:

640 ml of a mixture contains milk and water in ratio 6:2. How much of the water is to be added to get a new mixture containing half milk and half water ?

A) 360 ml B) 320 ml
C) 310 ml D) 330 ml
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 320 ml

Explanation:

Here total parts of milk and water in the solution is 6+2 = 8 parts.

1part = 640/8 = 80

 

old mixture contains 6parts of milk and 2 parts of water(6:2).

 

To get new mixture containing half milk and half water, add 4parts of water to the old mixture then 6:(2+4) to make the ratio same.

i.e, 4 x 80 = 320 ml.

Q:

A man purchases two articles, on selling one at loss of 20% while the other at a profit of 25%, he gains the overall profit of 5% than find the ratio of their selling price ?

A) 8 : 62.5 B) 55 : 8
C) 8 : 65 D) 64.4 : 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8 : 62.5

Explanation:

                      Article I                   Article II
                         -20                         25%
                                        5%
                         20%                       25%
                     

                          4              :              5

Now, Selling of first article = (4-20%) = 0.8

Selling of second article = (5+25%) =  6.25

Therefore the ratio of selling price = 8 : 62.5
