A) 48 yrs B) 42 yrs
C) 40 yrs D) 36 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 36 yrs

Explanation:

Let present ages of Sumit=w, Krishna=x, Rishabh=y and Rohit=z , then
w+x+y = 43x3 = 129 ---(i) and
w+y+z = 49x3 = 147 ---(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), (w+y+z) - (w+x+y)=147 -129 , z- x =18 ---(iii)
Given Rohit's age => z = 54, so from (iii), x = 54-18 = 36

Q:

A person lends Rs. 1540 for five years and Rs. 1800 for four years. If he gets Rs. 1788 as interest on both amounts, what is the rate of interest ?

A) 14.5% B) 11%
C) 12% D) 10.5%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12%

Explanation:

Let the interest rate be r%

We know that,

S.I = PTR/100

=> (1540 x 5 x r)/100  +  (1800 x 4 x r)/100 = 1788

=> r = 178800/14900 = 12%

Q:

What does one mole of H2O correspond to

A) 16 gms B) 18 gms
C) 20 gms D) 22 gms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 18 gms

Explanation:

The molar mass of H2O can be calculated as the following.

M(H2O)= [2 x M(H)] + [M(O)].

And we know that M(H) = 1g/mol, M(O) = 16g/mol.

So, M(H2O)= 2x1 + 16 = 18g/mol,

That means 1 mole of H2O contains 18g.

 

Hence, one mole of H2O corresponds to 18 grams.

Q:

Every year before the festive season, a brand store increases the price of the product by 42% and then introduce two successive discount of 10% and 11% respectively. What is percentage loss and percentage gain ?

A) 3.25% loss B) 13.742% loss
C) 3.25% gain D) 13.742% gain
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 13.742% gain

Explanation:

Let CP = 100,
42 % increase => SP = 142
10 % discount in SP => ((142 x 10)/100) = 14.2
So 1st SP = (142 - 14.2) = 127.8, again 12 % discount in 1st SP ((127.8 x 11)/100) = 14.058
2nd SP = (127.8 - 14.058) = 113.742,
So finally CP = 100, SP = 113.742, => gain = 13.742%.
