Q:

'A' sold an article to 'B' at a profit of 20%. 'B' sold the same article to 'C' at a loss of 25% and 'C' sold the same article to 'D' at a profit of 40%. If 'D' paid Rs 252 for the article, then find how much did 'A' pay for it?

A) Rs.196	B) Rs.210
C) Rs.200	D) Rs.235

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.200

Explanation:

Let the article costs 'X' to A
Cost price of B = 1.2X
Cost price of C = 0.75(1.2X) = 0.9X
Cost price of D = 1.4(0.9X) = 1.26X = 252
Amount paid by A for the article = Rs. 200.

Q:

A bag contains 4 red and 3 black balls. A second bag contains 2 red and 4 black balls. One bag is selected at random. From the selected bag, one ball is drawn. Find the probability that the ball drawn is red.

A) 23/42	B) 19/42
C) 7/32	D) 16/39

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 19/42

Explanation:

A red ball can be drawn in two mutually exclusive ways

(i) Selecting bag I and then drawing a red ball from it.

(ii) Selecting bag II and then drawing a red ball from it.

Let E1, E2 and A denote the events defined as follows:

E1 = selecting bag I,

E2 = selecting bag II

A = drawing a red ball

Since one of the two bags is selected randomly, therefore

P(E1) = 1/2 and P(E2) = 1/2

Now, $P (\frac{A}{E_{1}})$ = Probability of drawing a red ball when the first bag has been selected = 4/7

$P (\frac{A}{E_{2}})$ = Probability of drawing a red ball when the second bag has been selected = 2/6

Using the law of total probability, we have

P(red ball) = P(A) = $P (E_{1}) \times P (\frac{A}{E_{1}}) + P (E_{2}) \times P (\frac{A}{E_{2}})$

= $\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{7} + \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{6} = \frac{19}{42}$

18

18 x 5 = 90

90 x 5 = 450

450 x 5 = 2250

Q:

Guess the next number in the given number series?

999, 990, 998, 991, 997, 992, ?

A) 996	B) 1000
C) 999	D) 1001

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 996

Explanation:

The given number series 999, 990, 998, 991, 997, 992, ?

It follows a pattern that,

999

999 - 9 = 990

990 + 8 = 998

998 - 7 = 991

991 + 6 = 997

997 - 5 = 992

992 + 4 = 996

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 996.
