Q:

The difference between the length and breadth of a rectangle is 23 m. If its perimeter is 206 m, then its area is:

A) 1520 sq.m B) 2420 sq.m
C) 2480 sq.m D) 2520 sq.m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2520 sq.m

Explanation:

We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103. 

Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40. 

Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) sq.m

= 2520 sq.m

Q:

A & B invest Rs. 1,16,000 & 1,44,000 respectively. B invests for 6 months. At the end of the year, B’s share is Rs. 9000, find the overall profit?

A) Rs. 23,500 B) Rs. 19,780
C) Rs. 21,700 D) Rs. 20,050
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 23,500

Explanation:

Given A & B in partnership

A Invests 116000 for 12 months 

=> A's share = 116000 x 12 = 13,92,000

B Invests for 6 months

=> B's share = 144000 x 6 = 8,64,000

Their Ratio = 1392 : 864 = 29 : 18

Let the Annual profit = P

Given B's share = Rs. 9000

=> 18/47 x P = 9000

=> P = 9000 x 47/18

=> P = 23,500

Hence, Overall profit = P = Rs. 23,500

Sum of 2 digit numbers = (2+4+6+8) x P13 x (11) = 20 x 3 x 11 = 660 


Sum of 1 digit numbers = (2+4+6+8) x P03 x (1) = 20 x 1 x 1 = 20 

 

Adding All , Sum = 147320

Q:

A jeep travels a certain distance taking 6 hrs in forward journey, during the return journey increased speed 12km/hr takes the times 4 hrs. What is the distance travelled by the jeep is ?

A) 244 km B) 144 km
C) 444 km D) 344 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 144 km

Explanation:

Given a jeep travels a certain distance taking 6 hrs in forward journey
During the return journey, it takes 4 hrs with an increased speed 12 km/hr
Let 'x' be the distance.
Now, speed is given by distance/time.
Here the difference between both speeds = 12

 x4 - x6 = 12

 3x - 2x12 = 12

 

=> x = 144 km

 

Therefore, the distance travelled by the jeep in forward or return journey is x = 144 km.
