Q:

Salaries of Ravi and Sumit are in the ratio 2:3. If the salary of each is increased by Rs. 4000, the new ratio becomes 40:57. What is Sumit's salary?

A) 38000	B) 46800
C) 36700	D) 50000

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 38000

Explanation:

Let the original salaries of Ravi and Sumit be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively.
Then,
(2x+4000) / (3x+4000) = 40 / 57
⇒ 57 × (2x + 4000) = 40 × (3x+4000)
⇒ 6x = 68,000
⇒ 3x = 34,000
Sumit's present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38,000

Q:

The average of runs of a cricket player of 10 innings was 32. How many runs must he make in his next innings so as to increase his average of runs by 4 ?

A) 76	B) 79
C) 85	D) 87

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 76

Explanation:

Average = total runs / no.of innings = 32

So, total = Average x no.of innings = 32 x 10 = 320.

Now increase in avg = 4runs. So, new avg = 32+4 = 36runs

Total runs = new avg x new no. of innings = 36 x 11 = 396

Runs made in the 11th inning = 396 - 320 = 76

Q:

What is the rate of interest p.c.p.a.?

I. An amount doubles itself in 5 years on simple interest.

II. Difference between the compound interest and the simple interest earned on a certain amount in 2 years is Rs. 400.

III. Simple interest earned per annum is Rs. 2000

A) I only	B) II and III only
C) All I, II and III	D) I only or II and III only

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) I only or II and III only

Explanation:

$I . \frac{P * R * 5}{100} = P \Leftrightarrow R = 20$

$I I . P {(1 + \frac{R}{100})}^{2} - P - \frac{P * R * 2}{100} = 400 = > p R^{2} = 4000000$

$I I I . \frac{P * R * 1}{100} = 2000 = > P R = 200000$

$\frac{P R^{2}}{P R} = \frac{4000000}{200000} \Leftrightarrow R = 20$

Thus I only or (II and III) give answer.

Correct answer is (D)
