1) Rs. 6015, Rs. 6600
2) Rs. 6615, Rs. 6000
3) Rs. 7615, Rs. 5000
4) Rs. 6215, Rs. 6400
5) Rs. 6415, Rs. 6200
Answers:
1. 4
? = (4200 / 60 * 30)/21 = 70*30/21 = 100
2. 3
? = 960 * 780 / 24 = 31200
3. 1
Let the cost price of mobile be Rs. x and laptop be Rs.(78000-x)
x * 25/100 - (78000-x) * 15/100 = 78000 * 5/100
25x + 15x – 78000 × 15 = 78000 × 5
40x = 78000 × 20
x = Rs. 39000
4.3;
Suppose the man works overtime for x hours.
Now, working hours in 5 week = 5 × 6 × 8 = 240 hr.
240 × 40 + x × 45 = 10, 500
9600 + 45x = 10,500
x = (10500 - 9600)/45 = 20hr
Total hours = 240 + 20 = 260hr
5. 4; Let the number of boys and girls be x each
3(x – 10) = x 2x = 30
x = 15
Total number of students = 2x = 30
6. 2; Number of questions attempted correctly
= 70% of 10 + 50% of 30 + 60% of 45
= 7 + 15 + 27 = 49
Passing grade = 60/100 * 85 = 51
Reqd Ans = 51 - 49 = 2
7. 5; Total paint required = 45 + wastage = 45 + x
x/(45 + x) * 100 = 6.25
100x = 281.25 + 6.25x
x = 3kg
Total number of tins = (45 + 3)/4 = 12 tins
8. 1
Sugar contained = 5/100 * 8 = 0.4
Now, % sugar in remaining solution = 0.4/7 * 100 = 5.71%
9. 3;
For distance,
Distance travelled in 8 days by 1st man,
D1 = 12 × 8 = 96 km.
and by 2nd man,
D2 = 20 × 8 = 160 km
For remaining distance, let both take t days
to reach the final destination.
x – 96 = 2 × 12 × t
x – 96 = 24 t .......... (i)
and x – 160 = 20 t ...... (ii)
From (i) and (ii); we get,
x – 96 – x + 160 = 24 t – 20 t
64 = 4 t
t = 16 days.
Total number of days = 16 + 8 = 24 days.
10. 2
Q's share = 1 / (1 + 5/100)^6 : 1 / (1 + 5/100)^8
= 1 : (100/105)^2
= 21^2 : 20^2
= 441 : 400
P's share = 441/841 * 12615 = Rs. 6615
Q's share = 400/841 * 12615 = Rs. 6000
