Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Clearly, Rate = 5% p.a .,

Time = 3 years

S.I =Rs.1200.

So,Principal

=Rs.(100 x 1200/3x5)

=Rs.8000.

Amount

=Rs.[8000 x (1+5/100)³]

=Rs(8000x21/20x21/20x21/20)

= Rs.9261

C.I

=Rs.(9261-8000)

=Rs.1261.

Given in municipality election 54% votes have won by 1080

Let the total number of votes be x.

 54x100 - 46x100 = 1080

8x = 108000

x = 13,500

Therefore, total number of votes = 13,500.

Cost of 4 mangoes = Rs. 6 

Cost of 1 mango = Rs. 6/4 = Rs. 1.5

Now, Selling Price of 4 mangoes = Rs. 4

Selling Price of 1 mango = Rs. 4/4 = Rs. 1.0

• We observe that, S.P < C.P

Hence, the shopkeeper incurs a loss.

Required loss% = loss/C.P x 100

Loss = 1.5 - 1 = 0.5

C.P = 1.5

Loss% = (0.5/1.5) x 100

 = (5/15) x 100

 = 1/3 x 100

 = 100/3

 = 33.333%.

Let A's age 10 years ago be x years . Then B's age 10 years ago be 2x years

 Total of their present ages = x + 10 + 2x + 10

= 3x+20

= 3 * 5 + 20 = 35 years

If Jason is on th ecouncil,this reduces the selction pool to only 13 people,out of which we still need to select 4.

So, 13C4 = 715

Px85100=120

=> p = 12000/85 = 141.17 %

Let the required weight be x kg.

Less weight, Less cost (Direct Proportion)

 250 : 200 :: 60 : x   =>    250 x x = (200 x 60)

=>

=> x = 48.

Number of books that can be placed in the larger box is given by Volume of Box / Volume of book.
Now, n = 25 x 42 x 60 / 7 x 6 x 5
= 63000 / 210
= 300.
Therefore, 300 books can be in that box.
