Q:

Divide Rs.6500 among A,B and C so that after spending 90% , 75% and 60% of their respective saving were in the ratio of 3: 5: 6

Answer

A's spending 90%              \inline \therefore   saving = 10%


B's spending 75%              \therefore   saving = 25%


C's spending 60%              \inline \therefore   saving = 40%


Let us suppose A, B and C saves Rs. 3.5 and 6 respectively.


\inline \therefore 10% of A's saving = Rs.3


100% of A's saving = \inline \frac{3}{10}\times 100 = Rs. 30


25% of B's saving = Rs. 5


100% of B's saving = \inline \frac{5}{25}\times 100 = Rs. 20


40% of C's saving = Rs.6


100% of C's saving = \inline \frac{6}{40}\times 100 = Rs. 15


Divide Rs. 6500 in the ratio of 30 : 20 : 15 as


A's Share  =  \inline \frac{30}{65}\times 6500 = Rs. 3000


B's Share   = \inline \frac{20}{65}\times 6500 = Rs. 2000


C's Share  = \inline \frac{15}{65}\times 6500 = Rs. 1500

Q:

50 men can build a tank in 40days, but though they begin the work together, 5 men quit every ten days. The time needed to build the tank is ?

A) 50 days B) 48 days
C) 47.5 days D) 49 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 50 days

Explanation:

50 men can build a tank in 40 days 

Assume 1 man does 1 unit of work in 1 day

Then the total work is 50×40 = 2000 units

 

50 men work in the first 10 days and completes 50×10 = 500 units of work

45 men work in the next 10 days and completes 45×10 = 450 units of work

40 men work in the next 10 days and completes 40×10 = 400 units of work

35 men work in the next 10 days and completes 35×10 = 350 units of work

So far 500 + 450 + 400 + 350 = 1700 units of work is completed and

 

Remaining work is 2000 - 1700 = 300 units

 

30 men work in the next 10 days. In each day, they does 30 units of work.

 

Therefore, additional days required = 300/30 =10

 

Thus, total 10+10+10+10+10 = 50 days required.

Q:

An item is sold at a loss of 10%. Had it sold for Rs. 9 more, a profit of 25/2% would have gained. What is the cost price of the item?

A) Rs. 90 B) Rs. 75
C) Rs. 55 D) Rs. 40
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 40

Explanation:

Let the cost price of the item = Rs. 50

Sold at 10% loss => for Rs. 50 loss  S.P = Rs. 45

From the  given data,

25/2 % gain if it is sold at Rs. 9 more

56.25 - 45 = 9

=> 11.25 = 9

=> 22.5 = 18

=> 45 = 36

=> 50 = ?

=> C.P = 50 x 3645 = 40

 

Hence, the Cost price of the item = Rs. 40.
