Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Let the age of Manisha and Sudeshna is 5x and 6x years respectively.

According to the given data,

5x+8/6x+8 = 7/8

42x + 56 = 40x + 64

x = 4

Required Difference of their ages = (6 × 4)  –  (5 × 4)

= 4 years.

The mother completes the job in x hours.
So, the daughter will take 2x hours to complete the same job.

In an hour, the mother will complete 1/x of the total job.
In an hour, the daughter will complete 1/2x of the total job.

So, if the mother and daughter work together, in an hour they will complete 1/x + 1/2x of the job.
i.e., in an hour they will complete 3/2x of the job.

The question states that they complete the entire task in 6 hours if they work together.
i.e., they complete 1/6 th of the task in an hour.

Equating the two information, we get 3/2x = 1/6
By solving for x, we get 2x = 18 or x = 9.

The mother takes 9 hours to complete the job.

Two horses A and B, in a race of 6 horses... A has to finish before B

if A finishes 1... B could be in any of other 5 positions in 5 ways and other horses finish in 4! Ways, so total ways 5*4!

if A finishes 2... B could be in any of the last 4 positions in 4 ways. But the other positions could be filled in 4! ways, so the total ways 4*4!

if A finishes 3rd... B could be in any of last 3 positions in 3 ways, but the other positions could be filled in 4! ways, so total ways 3*4!

if A finishes 4th... B could be in any of last 2 positions in 2 ways, but the other positions could be filled in 4! ways, so total ways... 2 * 4! 

if A finishes 5th .. B has to be 6th and the top 4 positions could be filled in 4! ways..

A cannot finish 6th, since he has to be ahead of B

Therefore total number of ways = 5*4! + 4*4! + 3*4! + 2*4! + 4! = 120 + 96 + 72 + 48 + 24 = 360

S.I=PNR/100

 C.I. when interest compounded yearly

Rs.5000*1+4100*1+12*4100

 Rs.5000*2625*5150

=Rs.5034

C.I. when interest iscompounded half-yearly 

 Rs.5000*1+21003

= Rs. 5306.04

Difference = Rs. (5306.04 - 5304) = Rs. 2.04
