Q:

If the rate increases by 2%, the simple interest received on a sum of money increases by Rs. 108. If the time period is increased by 2 years, the simple interest on the same sum increases by Rs.180. The sum is ?

A) Rs. 540 B) Rs. 415
C) Rs. 404 D) Data is not sufficient
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Data is not sufficient

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years.

Then,

 P×T×(R+2)100-P×T×R100=108  2PT= 10800  ...... (1)

 And, 

 P×R×(T+2)100-P×R×T100=180   2PR = 18000 ......(2)

Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of p
So, the data is not sufficient.

Q:

A fair six-sided die is rolled twice. What is the probability of getting 4 on the first roll and not getting 6 on the second roll ?

A) 1/36 B) 5/36
C) 1/12 D) 1/9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5/36

Explanation:

The two events mentioned are independent.

The first roll of the die is independent of the second roll. Therefore the probabilities can be directly multiplied.

P(getting first 4) = 1/6

P(no second 6) = 5/6

Therefore P(getting first 4 and no second 6) = 1/6 x 5/6 = 5/36

Q:

A milkman claims to sell milk at its cost price, still, he is making a profit of 30% since he has mixed some amount of water in the milk. What is the % of milk in the mixture?

A) 71.02% B) 76.92%
C) 63.22% D) 86.42%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 76.92%

Explanation:

Let the milk he bought is 1000 ml

Let C.P of 1000 ml is Rs. 100

Here let he is mixing K ml of water

He is getting 30% profit

=> Now, the selling price is also Rs. 100 for 1000 ml

=> 100 : K%

= 100 : 30

10 : 3 is ratio of milk to water

=> Percentage of milk = 10 x 100/13 = 1000/13 = 76.92%

A) 2 hrs B) 20 min
C) 40 min D) 30 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20 min

Explanation:

In 1hr, the bus covers 60 km without stoppages and 40 km with stoppages.

Stoppage time = time take to travel (60 - 40) km i.e 20 km at 60 km/hr.

stoppage time = 20/60 hrs = 20 min.
