Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

Given Karthik can cover the distance of 200 kms resting 2 hrs per day in 22 days.

Let the initial speed be '1'

Hence, Time = 22(24hrs - 2)

Noe new speed = 2/3

Let the number of days he take be 'D'

Therefore, 2224-2x3200=D24-2x2250

D = 11 x 3 x 5/4 = 41.25 days. = 41 1/4 days.

Difference in amount = 514 - 415 = 99

99 = (415 x 4 x R)/100

R = 5.96%

The probability of an impossible event is 0.

The event is known ahead of time to be not possible, therefore by definition in mathematics, the probability is defined to be 0 which means it can never happen.

The probability of a certain event is 1.

Manju borrows Rs. 5000 for 2 years at 4% p.a. simple interest 

She also lends it at 6 1⁄4% p.a for 2 years 

=> Total Gain = 6 1/4% − 4% = 2 1/4%

So her gain in the transaction for 1 year

= The simple interest she gets for Rs.5000 for 1 year at 2 1⁄4% per annum

= PTR100=5000×94×1100 = Rs. 112.5/ year.

Bleak means an area of land lacking vegetation and exposed to the elements like deserts.

Let the present age of Deepa = 5p

Let the present age of Hyma = 6p

After four years their ratio = 6 : 7

=> 5p + 46p + 4 = 67

=> 35p + 28 = 36p + 24

=> p = 4

Therefore, the difference between their ages = 24 - 20 = 4 years.

He can arrange his schedule in 8P6 = 20160 ways

Let the principle amount be Rs. P

Interest rate = 12%

Total amount he paid after 5 years = Rs. 1280

ATQ, 

$$\begin{gathered} P + I = PTR100 + P \\ 1280 = PTR100 + 1 \\ 1280 = P5 x 12100 + 1 \\ 16P10 = 1280 \\ P = 80 x 10 = 800 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the amount he borrowed = P = Rs. 800.
