Q:

If a person having Rs. 2000 and he want to distribute this to his five children in the manner that each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one , what will be the share of youngest child ?

A) Rs. 175 B) Rs. 325
C) Rs. 340 D) Rs. 260
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 340

Explanation:

Assume first child (the youngest) get = Rs. x

According to the question ;
each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one

Second child will get = Rs. x + 30
Third child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 = x + 60
Forth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 90
Fifth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 120

Total amount they got = Rs. 2000

x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + (x+120) = 2000
5x + 300 = 2000
5x = 1700
x = Rs. 340
So the youngest child will get Rs. 340.

Q:

The cost price of 40 Magazines is the same as the selling price of 'P' articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of 'P' is:

A) 32 B) 40
C) 16 D) 30
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 32

Explanation:

Let C.P. of each Magazine be Rs. 1

C.P. of P articles = Rs. P. 

S.P. of P articles = Rs. 40.

 

Profit = Rs. (40 - P)

 

Now, Gain% = ProfitC.P×100 = 40-PP×100 

 

Here 40-PP×100= 25

-->P = 32.
