Q:

Ayush was born two years after his father's marriage. His mother is five years younger than his father but 20 years older than Ayush who is 10 years old. At what age did the father get married ?

A) 25 years	B) 24 years
C) 23 years	D) 22 years

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 23 years

Explanation:

Ayush's present age = 10 years.
His mother's present age = (10 + 20) years = 30 years.
Ayush's father's present age = (30 + 5) years = 35 years.
Ayush's father's age at the time of Ayush's birth = (35 - 10) years = 25 years.

Therefore Ayush's father's age at the time of marriage = (25 - 2) years = 23 years.

Q:

It costs Rs. p each to send the first thousand messsages and Rs. q to send each subsequent one . If r is greater than 1,000, how many Rupees will it cost to send r messages ?

A) 1000 (r - p) + pq	B) 1000 p + qr
C) 1000 (r - q) + pr	D) 1000(p - q) + qr

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1000(p - q) + qr

Explanation:

We need to find the total cost to send r messsages, r > 1000.

The first 1000 messsages will cost Rs.p each (Or)

The total cost of first 1000 messsages = Rs.1000p

The remaining (r - 1000) messsages will cost Rs.q each (Or)

The cost of the (r - 1000) = Rs.(r - 1000)y

Therefore, total cost = 1000p + rq - 1000q

= 1000(p - q) + qr

1. By how much do the borrowings of Company B exceed that of Company A ?

1. Rs. 1,210,000 2. Rs.1,320,000 3. Rs.1,000,000 4. Rs.1,100,000

2. By how much does the dividend paid by Company D exceed the dividend paid by Company B ?

1. Rs.23 lakh 2. Rs.32 lakh 3. Rs.320 lakh 4. Rs.230 lakh

3. The profit of E is more/less than that of C by _____ %

1. 33.3% less 2. 33.3% more 3. 25% less 4. 25% more

4. What is the sum of profits made by Companies A and B ?

1. Rs.500 lakh 2. Rs.600 lakh 3. Rs.700 lakh 4. Rs.800 lakh

5. What is the sum of the borrowings of all five companies ?

1. Rs.146 lakh 2. Rs.14.6 lakh 3. Rs.14.6 crore 4. None of these

Answer

1. Answer : 4

Explanation : Let the borrowing of Company A = x

Interest of Company A = 234000

Rate of Interest = 18%

$∴ x \times \frac{18}{100} = 234000 \Rightarrow x = 1300000$

Let the borrowing of Company B = y

Interest of Company B = 576000

Rate of interest = 24%

$∴ y \times \frac{24}{100} = 576000 \Rightarrow y = 2400000$

Required difference = y - x = 2400000 - 1300000 = Rs. 1100000

2. Answer : 2

Explanation :

Let the profit of Comapny B = 100%

Dividend Payout ratio(%) of B = 19.60

Remaining percent i.e retained earning = 100 - 19.60 = 80.4%

According to question, 80.4% = Rs.402 lakh

100% = Rs.500 lakh

Therefore, Total dividend paid by Company B = 500 - 402 = Rs. 98 lakh

Let the profit of company D = 100%

Dividend payout ratio (%) of D = 32.50

Remaining percent i.e retained earning = 100 - 32.50 = 67.5%

According to question, 67.5% = Rs. 270 lakh

100% = Rs. 400 lakh

Therefore, Total dividend paid by company D = 400 - 270 = Rs. 130 lakh

Required difference = 130 - 98 = Rs. 32 lakh

3. Answer : 3

Explanation :

Let the profit of Company C = 100%

Dividend payout ratio of C = 8.75%

Remaining percent i.e, retained earning = 100 - 8.75 = 91.25

According to question, 91.25% = Rs. 365 lakh

100% = Rs. 400 lakh

Therefore, Profit of C = Rs. 400 lakh

Let the profit of company E = 100%

Dividend payout ratio of E = 28%

Remaining percent i.e retained earning = 100 - 28 = 72%

According to question, 72% = Rs.216 lakh

100% = Rs.300 lakh

Therefore, Profit of E = Rs. 300 lakh

Required percentage = $\frac{100}{400} \times 100$ = 25% less

4. Answer : 3

Explanation :

Profit made by company A = Rs. 200 lakh

Profit made by company B = Rs. 500 lakh

Required Sum = 200 + 500 = Rs. 700 lakh

5. Answer : 4

Explanation :

Required Sum = 1300000 + 2400000 + 810000 + 1600000 + 1200000 = 7310000 = Rs. 73.1 lakh

Let Priyatham's age = x

Then, Vishal's age = 2x; Raghu's age = x/2; Veeru's age = 4x ; Karthik's age = x/4

So, the descending order of ages is :

Veeru > Vishal > Priyatham > Raghu > Karthik

Therefore, Karthik is the youngest.
