Q:

A trader mixes 36 kg of rice at Rs. 20 per kg with 14 kg of rice of other variety at Rs. 36 per kg and sells the mixture at Rs. 30 per kg. His profit percent is:

A) 25%	B) 21.14%
C) 22.54%	D) 27.32%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 22.54%

Explanation:

C.P. of 50 kg rice = Rs. (36 x 20 + 14 x 36) = Rs. (720 + 504) = Rs.1224.

S.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (50 x 30) = Rs.1500.

Profit = 1500 - 1224 = Rs.276

Profit % = $\frac{P r o f i t}{C . P} \times 100$ = $\frac{276}{1224} \times 100$ = 22.54%.

Q:

A man saves Rs. 200 in each of the first three months of his service. In each of the subsequent months his saving increases by Rs. 40 more than the saving of immediately previous month. His total saving from the start of service will be Rs. 11040 after ?

A) 19 months	B) 21 months
C) 18 months	D) 20 months

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 21 months

Explanation:

Total savings = 200 + 200 + 200 + 240 + 280 + ... to n months = 11040

= 120 + 80 + 160 + 40 + 200 + 240 + ....n terms
= 40 + 80 + 120 + 160 + 200 + 240 + ...n terms
= n/2[2a + (n-1)d] + 80 + 40 = 11040
= n/2[240 + (n-1)40] = 10920
= n[6+n-1] = 546
= n[n+5] = 546
n = 21

Q:

Sonika invested an amount of Rs.5800 for 2 years. At what rate of compound interest will she get an amount of Rs.594.50 at the end of 2 years ?

A) 6.5%	B) 6%
C) 5%	D) 4.5%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5%

Explanation:

C.I = $P [{(1 + \frac{r}{100})}^{t} - 1]$

594.5 = $5800 [{(1 + \frac{r}{100})}^{2} - 1]$

$\frac{594.5}{5800} + 1 = {(1 + \frac{r}{100})}^{2}$

$\frac{r}{100} = 1.05 - 1 = 0.05 = > r = 5$ % .

Q:

The average weight of 45 passengers in a bus is 52 kg. 5 of them whose average weight is 48 kg leave the bus and other 5 passengers whose average weight is 54 kg join the bus at the same stop. What is the new average weight of the bus?

A) 54.21 kgs	B) 51.07 kgs
C) 52.66 kgs	D) 53.45 kgs

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 52.66 kgs

Explanation:

Given total number of passengers in the bus = 45

First average weight of 45 passengers = 52 kgs

Average weight of 5 passengers who leave bus = 48

Average weight of 5 passengers who joined the bus = 54

Therefore, the net average weight of the bus is given by

$= \frac{45 x 52 - (5 x 48) + (5 x 54)}{45} = \frac{2370}{45} = \frac{158}{3} = 52.66 kgs .$

Q:

A shopkeeper who deals in books sold a book at 16% loss. Had she charged an additional Rs.60 while selling it , her profit would have been 14%. Find the cost price, in rupees, of the book ?

A) Rs. 185	B) Rs. 154
C) Rs. 200	D) Rs. 177

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 200

Explanation:

Let the C.P be 'x'
Then, the selling price S.P = x - 16x/100
= 84x/100 = 21x/25
Now, if the S.P is 60 more, then the profit is 14%
=> 21x/25 + 60 = x + 14x/100
=> 114x/100 - 21x/25 = 60
=> (57 - 42)x/50 = 60
=> 15x/50 = 60
x = 3000/15 = 200

Therefore, the Cost price C.P = x = Rs. 200
