Q:

For how many integer values of n will the value of the expression 4n + 7 be an integer greater than 1 and less than 200?

A) 48 B) 49
C) 50 D) 51
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 50

Explanation:

1 < 4n + 7 < 200

n can be 0, or -1

n cannot be -2 or any other negative integer or the expression 4n + 7 will be less than1.

The largest value for n will be an integer < (200 - 7) /4

193/4 = 48.25, hence 48

The number of integers between -1 and 48 inclusive is 50

Q:

K and L start the business, with L investing the total capital of Rs. 40,000 on the condition that K pays L interest @ 8% per annum on his half of the capital. L is a working partner and receives Rs.1200 per month from the total profit and any profit reamaining is equally shared by both of them. At the end of the year, it was found that the income of L is twice that of K. Find the total profit for the year ?

A) Rs.44000 B) Rs.46400
C) Rs.480800 D) Rs.46000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.46400

Explanation:

Interest received by L from K = 8% of half of Rs.40,000  

8100×20000=1600  

 

Amount received by L per annum for being a working partner = 1200 x 12 = Rs.14,400

 

Let 'A' be the part of remaing profit that 'L' receives as his share.

 

 Total income of 'K' = only his share from the reamaing profit

 

                              = 'A', as both share equally.

 

Given income of L = Twice the income of K

 

--> (1600 + 14400 + A ) = 2A

--> A= Rs.16000

Thus total profit = 2A + Rs.14,400= 2(16000) + 14400 

                                                  = 32000 +14400 = Rs.46,400.

Q:

The bankers discount and the true discount of a sum at 10% per annum simple interest for the same time are Rs.100 and Rs.80 respectively. What is the sum and the time?

A) Sum = Rs.400 and Time = 5 years B) Sum = Rs.200 and Time = 2.5 years
C) Sum = Rs.400 and Time = 2.5 years D) Sum = Rs.200 and Time = 5 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Sum = Rs.400 and Time = 2.5 years

Explanation:

BD = Rs.100

TD = Rs.80

R = 10%

 

F=BD×TDBD-TD=100×80100-80=Rs.400 

 

BD = Simple interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time= FTR/100

 

100=400×T×10100

=> T = 2.5 years

Q:

K and L starts walking towards each other at 4 pm at speed of 3 km/hr and 4 km/hr respectively. They were initially 17.5 km apart. At what time do they meet ?

A) 6:00 am B) 6:30 pm
C) 5:45 am D) 5:52 pm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6:30 pm

Explanation:

Suppose they meet after 'h' hours

Then

3h + 4h = 17.5

7h = 17.5

h = 2.5 hours

So they meet at => 4 + 2.5 = 6:30 pm

Q:

A, B and C can do a piece of work in 72, 48 and 36 days respectively. For first p/2 days, A & B work together and for next ((p+6))/3days all three worked together. Remaining 125/3% of work is completed by D in 10 days. If C & D worked together for p day then, what portion of work will be remained?

A) 1/5 B) 1/6
C) 1/7 D) 1/8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/6

Explanation:

Total work is given by L.C.M of 72, 48, 36

Total work = 144 units

Efficieny of A = 144/72 = 2 units/day

Efficieny of B = 144/48 = 3 units/day

Efficieny of C = 144/36 = 4 units/day

 

According to the given data,

2 x p/2 + 3 x p/2 + 2 x (p+6)/3 + 3 x (p+6)/3 + 4 x (p+6)/3 = 144 x (100 - 125/3) x 1/100

3p + 4.5p + 2p + 3p + 4p = 84 x 3 - 54

p = 198/16.5

p = 12 days.

 

Now, efficency of D = (144 x 125/3 x 1/100)/10 = 6 unit/day

(C+D) in p days = (4 + 6) x 12 = 120 unit

Remained part of work = (144-120)/144 = 1/6.

Q:

Find the C.I. on Rs. 15,225 for 9 months at 16% per annum compounded quarterly ?

A) Rs. 1911 B) Rs. 1909
C) Rs. 1901 D) Rs. 1907
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 1901

Explanation:

P = Rs. 15225, n = 9 months = 3 quarters, R = 16% p.a. per quarter.

 

Amount = 15225x1+41003

 

= (15225 x 26/25 x 26/25 x 26/25) = Rs. 17126.05

 

=> C.I. = 17126 - 15625 = Rs. 1901.05.
