Q:

Ramu rides his bike at an average speed of 45 km/hr and reaches his desitination in four hours. Somu covers the same distance in six hours. If Ramu covered his journey at an average speed which was 9 km/hr less and Somu covered his journey at an average speed which was 10 km/hr more, then the difference in their times taken to reach the destination would be (in minutes).

A) 18 min B) 30 min
C) 27 min D) 32 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 30 min

Explanation:

Distance travelled by Ramu = 45 x 4 = 180 km

Somu travelled the same distance in 6 hours.

His speed = 180/6 = 30 km/hr

Hence in the conditional case, Ramu's speed = 45 - 9 = 36 km/hr and Somu's speed = 30 + 10 = 40km/hr.

Therefore travel time of Ramu and Somu would be 5 hours and 4.5 hours respectively.

Hence difference in the time taken = 0.5 hours = 30 minutes.

Q:

A supplier supplies cartridges to a news paper publishing house. He earns a profit of 25% by selling cartridges for Rs. 1540. Find the cost price of the Cartridges ?

A) Rs. 1100 B) Rs. 1793.4
C) Rs. 1440 D) Rs. 1232
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 1232

Explanation:

Let Cost Price(C.P) = P
gain% = {(S.P-C.P)/C.P} x 100
25 = {(1540-P)/P} x 100
25/100 = (1540-P)/P
=> P = 4(1540)-4P
=> 5P = 4(1540)
=> P = 1232
So, Cost Price = Rs. 1232

Q:

A man sells Rs.5000, 12 % stock at 156 and uinvests the proceeds parity in 8 % stock at 90 and 9 % stock at 108. He hereby increases his income by Rs. 70. How much of the proceeds were invested in each stock?

A) 4000 B) 4200
C) 4002 D) 4020
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4200

Explanation:

S.P of Rs. 5000 stock = Rs.156100*5000= Rs. 7800. 

 

Income from this stock = Rs.12100*5000 = Rs. 600.  

 

Let investment in 8 % stock be x and that in 9 % stock = (7800 - x).

 

Therefore,  

 

x*890+7800-x*9108=600+70  

 

4x45+7800-x12=670⇔x=3600 

 

Therefore,  Money invested in 8 % stock at 90 = Rs. 3600.

 

Money invested in 9 % at 108 = Rs. (7800-3600) = Rs. 4200.
