Q:

While purchasing one item costing Rs. 400, I had to pay the sales tax at 7% and on another costing Rs. 6400, the sales tax was 9%. What percent of the sales tax I had to pay, taking the two items together on an average ?

A) 8 + 15/17 B) 2 + 13/17
C) 3 + 2/17 D) 5 + 13/12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8 + 15/17

Explanation:

Total sales tax paid = 7% of Rs, 400 + 9% of Rs. 6400

                            =Rs. (7/100)*400 + (9/100)*6400 = Rs. (28 + 576) = Rs. 604. 

 

Total cost of the items = Rs. (400 + 6400) = Rs. 6800.

 

Required percentage =(604/6800*100) % = 81517%.

Q:

Ten years ago A was half of B in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3 : 4, what will be the total of their present ages

A) 15 B) 25
C) 35 D) 45
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 35

Explanation:

Let A's age 10 years ago = x years.
Then, B's age 10 years ago = 2x years.
(x + 10) / (2x+ l0) = 3/4
=> x = 5.
So, the total of their present ages =(x + 10 + 2x + 10)
= (3x + 20) = 35 years.

Q:

How many liters of oil at Rs.40 per liter should be mixed with 240 liters of a second variety of oil at Rs.60 per liter so as to get a maximum whose cost is Rs.52 per liter ?

Answer

Apply Allegation Method and first calculate the ratio in which they have to be mixed.



= 8 : 12 = 2 : 3


Thus, the two varieties of oil should be mixed in the ratio 2 : 3. So, if 240 liters of the second variety are taken, then 160 liters of the first variety should be taken.
