Q:

Twelve percent of Kalyan's monthly salary is equal to the sixteen per cent of Nandu's monthly salary. Sarnesh's monthly salary is half that of Nandu's monthly salary. If sarnesh's annual salary is Rs. 1.08 lacs, What is Kalyan's monthly salary ?

A) 15,000 B) 36,000
C) 24,000 D) 12,500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 24,000

Explanation:

Let K = Kalyan's monthly salary
N = Nandu's monthly salary
S = Sarnesh's monthly salary.
Then from given data,
12% of K = 16% of N
S = N/2 => N = 2S
K = 16/12 x N = 16/12 x 2S
= 16/6 x 1.08/12 = 16/6 x 0.09 = 0.24 lacs = 24,000

A circular piece of thin wire is converted into a rhombus of side 11 cm. Find the diameter of the circular piece?

A) 28 cm B) 3.5 cm
C) 7 cm D) 14 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 14 cm

Explanation:

Circular piece is 4 x 11 = 44 cm long,

Then Circumference of circle is given by,

44 = pi x D, where D is the diameter

D = 44 / pi

Take pi = 22 / 7, then

D = 44 / (22/7) = (44 x 7) / 22

D = 14 cm.

A) 196 mts B) 220 mts
C) 230 mts D) 245 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 245 mts

Explanation:

Let the length of the brigade is x mts
Then Distance = 130 + x mts
given speed = 45 kmph = 45 x5/18 m/s
Time = 30 sec
T = D/S
=> 30 = 130+x/(45x5/18)
=> x = 245 mts.

Q:

A man has only 20-paise and 25-paise coins in a bag. If he has 50 coins in all totaling to Rs.10.25, then the number of 20-paise coins is 

A) 42 B) 45
C) 38 D) 36
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 45

Explanation:

Let number of 20 ps coins = x and

number of 25 ps coins = y

Given total coins in the bag = 50

x + y = 50.......(1)

But the total money in the bag = Rs. 10.25

0.20x + 0.25y = 10.25

20x + 25y = 1025.........(2)

Now multiplying (1) by 25 we get

25x+25y=1250.............(3)

By solving (2) and (3)

20x + 25y = 1025;

=> x = 45;

Then, the no. of 20 ps coins are 45.

Q:

Two persons Shyam and Rahim can do a job in 32 days together. Rahim can do the same job in 48 days alone. They started working together and after working 8 days Rahim is replaced by a third person Ram whose efficiency is half that of Rahim. Find in how many days the remaining work will be completed by both Shyam and Ram together?

A) 16 days B) 72/5 days
C) 15 days D) 96/5 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 72/5 days

Explanation:

Work done by Shyam and Rahim in 8 days = 8/32 = 1/4

Remaining work to be done by Shyam and Ram = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

Given efficieny of Ram is half of Rahim i.e, as Rahim can do the work in 48 days, Ram can do the work in 24 days.

One day work of Ram and Shyam = (1/32 - 1/48) + 1/24 = 5/96

Hence, the total work can be done by Shyam and Ram together in 96/5 days.

 

Therefore, remaining work 3/4 can be done by them in 3/4 x 96/5 = 72/5 = 14.4 days.
