Q:

The price of commodity X increases by 40 paise every year, while the price of commodity Y increases  by 15 paise every year. If in 2001, the price of commodity X was Rs. 4.20 and that of Y was Rs. 6.30, in which year commodity X will cost 40 paise more than the commodity?

A) 2010 B) 2011
C) 2012 D) 2013
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2011

Explanation:

Suppose commodity X wil cost 40 paise more than Y after Z  years. Then,

        (4.20 + 0.40Z) - (6.30 + 0.15Z) = 0.40

=>  0.25Z = 0.40 + 2.10  => Z= 2.50/0.25 = 10

Therefore, X will cost 40 paise more than Y 10  years after 2001 . i.e in 2011

What is the difference between the biggest and the smallest fraction among 2/3 , 3/4 , 4/5 and 5/6?

A) 1/6 B) 1/12
C) 1/20 D) 1/30

Since 0.833>0.8>0.75>0.66 

So, 5/6 > 4/5 > 3/4 > 2/3 

Therefore,  Required Difference = 5/6 - 2/3 = 1/6
