Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

The weight will be 250g plus (1.55 - 0.65)/0.10 units of 100g

250 + 900 = 1150

This is the maximum weight that can be sent at that price. But, weights exceeding

250 + 800 will also get charged this amount (that is what the ‘part thereof’ implies).

Hence a package weighing 1145 will be charged $1145

Let Siya's age = x

Then Riya's age = 4x

But given Riya's age = 24

=> 4x = 24 => x = 6

Hence Siya's age = 6 yrs

=> The age difference = 24 - 6 = 18 yrs.

35+125=17.88 ⇒35+55=17.88

⇒5=2.235

∴80+65=45+65=105=10×2.235=22.35

Here from 4th December 1999 to 3rd January 2000,
there is a difference of 30 days.
Number of odd days = 30/7 = 2 odd days

Then no. of odd days = 2 => tuesday and wednesday(from monday).

Hence on 3rd january it is wednesday.

Let the speed of the man in still water = p kmph

Speed of the current = s kmph

Now, according to the questions

(p + s) x 10 = (p - s) x 15

2p + 2s = 3p - 3s

=> p : s = 5 : 1

Hence, ratio of his speed to that of current = 5:1.

Let the speed of boat and stream be x and y kmph respectively.

According to question

d/x+y + d/x-y = 5h 15m or 21/4 hrs ......(i)

and 2d/x-y = 7...... (ii)

From eq. (i) and (ii)

2d/x+y = 7/2

Hence, Amith will take to row 2d km distance downstream in 7/2 hrs

= 3.5 hrs

= 3 hrs 30 min.

The distance to be covered = Sum of their lengths = 200 + 300 = 500 m.

Relative speed = 72 -36 = 36 kmph = 36 x 5/18 = 10 mps.

Time required = d/s = 500/10 = 50 sec.
