Q:

If P is 140, which is 40% more than Q, then 3/25 of Q is

A) 9 B) 12
C) 18 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 12

Explanation:

From the given data,

P = 140

But it is given that,

40% of Q + Q = 140 = P

=> Q + [40Q/100] = 140

=> [100Q + 40Q]/100 = 140

=> 140Q = 140 x 100

=> Q = 100

Now,

 3/25 of Q 

= (3/25) x 100

= 3 x 4 

= 12 

 

Required 3/25 of Q  = 12.

Q:

Marked price of an article is 1600 Rs. more than the cost price. When the same article is sold at a discount of Rs. 500 then the percent profit earned is 25%. For earning a profit of 30%, the article should be sold at what price?

A) 5740 B) 5720
C) 5620 D) 5730
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5720

Explanation:

Ans. B.
According to the question ,
Marked Price = 1600 + Cost price - (i)
MP – 500 = 125/100 * CP - (ii)
MP = 5/4 CP + 500 - (ii)
4MP = 5CP + 2000 -(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii)
Cost Price = 4400
Now , the selling price
= 130/100 * 4400
= 5720

Selling price of a cellphone is increased by 20%. For this sale is decreased by 30%. Find the effect of total sales?

A) 16% B) 14.5%
C) 12% D) 10.5%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 16%

Explanation:

Let cost of each cell phone = Rs.100 & Sale = 100 phones.

Money receipt = Rs.(100 x 100) = Rs.10,000

New cost per cellphone = Rs.120 and New sale = 70 phones

New Money Receipt = Rs.(70 x 120) = Rs.8400

Then the effect of sales = decrease in money receipt = 

160010000 x 100 = 16%.

Q:

Lasya alone can do a work in 16 days. Srimukhi’s efficiency is 20 % lesser than that of Laya. If Rashmi and Srimukhi together can do the same work in 12 days, then find the efficiency ratio of Rashmi to that of Lasya?

A) 19 : 7 B) 30 : 19
C) 8 : 15 D) 31 : 17
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 8 : 15

Explanation:

Given Lasya can do a work in 16 days.

 

Now, time taken by Srimukhi alone to complete the work = 16 x 100/80

 

Time taken by Rashmi = n days

 

=> (12 x 20)/(20 - 12) = (12 x 20)/n

 

=> n= 30 days.

 

Required ratio of efficiencies of Rashmi and Lasya = 1/30  ::  1/16  = 8 : 15.
