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:

Subbu purchased a tape recorder at 9/10 of its selling price and sold it at 8% more than its selling price. His gain is

Answer

Let S.P = x then C.P = \inline \frac{9x}{10}


Selling price received by subbu = (108% of x)


                                            = \inline \frac{108}{100}x=\frac{27}{25}x


Gain= \inline (\frac{27}{25}x-\frac{9}{10}x)=\frac{9}{50}x


Hence gain% = \inline (\frac{9x}{50}\times \frac{10}{9x}\times 100) = 20%

Q:

If the sum of two numbers is 55 and the H.C.F. and L.C.M. of these numbers are 5 and 120 respectively, then the sum of the reciprocals of the numbers is equal to ?

A) 13/125 B) 14/57
C) 11/120 D) 16/41
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11/120

Explanation:

Let the numbers be a and b.
We know that product of two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCM
Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.
=> The required sum = (1/a) + (1/b) = (a+b)/ab
=55/600 = 11/120

A) 20.1 B) 21.1
C) 22.1 D) 23.1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 23.1

Explanation:

At first glance it might seem that this problem cannot be solved because we do not have enough
information. It can be solved as long as you double whatever amount you start with. If we start with
$100, then P = $100 and FV = $200.

FV=P(1+r/n)^nt
