Q:

At an examination in which maximum marks are 500. K got 10% less than L, L got 25% more than M and M got 20% less than N. If K got 360 marks what percentage of marks was obtained by N ?

A) 80 B) 87
C) 78 D) 76
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 80

Explanation:

Let marks obtained by N = x

M's marks = 0.80x

L's marks = 1.25 (0.80x)

K's marks = (0.90) (1.25) (0.80x)

= 0.9x

But 0.9x = 360 ⇒ x = 400

Percentage of Marks obtained by N

= 400 x 100/500 = 80%

Q:

A person can row 8 1/2 km an hour in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the river. The speed of the stream ?

A) 1.78 kmph B) 2.35 kmph
C) 2.83 kmph D) 3.15 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2.83 kmph

Explanation:

Given speed of the person = 8 1/2 = 17/2 kmph
Let the speed of the stream = x kmph
speed of upstream = 17/2 - x
speed of downstream = 17/2 + x
But given that,
2(17/2 - x) = 17/2 + x
=> 3x = 17/2
=> x = 2.83 kmph.

Q:

To buy goods on credit means to

A) promise to pay for goods later. B) pay only a discount price.
C) promise to pay only a sale price. D) pay cash for goods.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) promise to pay for goods later.

Explanation:

If as a business, you buy goods or services on credit from a supplier (accounts payable) then the supplier will supply the goods and business will incur a liability to the supplier for that amount, but no cash will change hands at that stage.

Some of those shop keepers allowed regular "trustworthy" customers to purchase items without having the full payment.

Hence, Buying on credit means that no actual money has changed hands.
