Q:

In a competitive exam, the number of passed students was four times the number of failed students. If there had been 35 fewer appeared students and 9 more had failed, the ratio of passed and failed students would have been 2 : 1, then the total number of students appered for the exam ?

A) 175	B) 165
C) 155	D) 145

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 155

Explanation:

Let the number of failed students be x

=> Number of passed students = 4x

So total number of students was 5x

From the given data,

If total number of students be 5x – 35

=> 4x-35-9/x+9 = 2/1

=> 4x – 44 = 2(x + 9)

=> 4x – 2x = 18 + 44

=> x = 31

Total number = 31×5

= 155

Q:

Two pipes can fill a tank in 20 and 24 minutes respectively and a waste pipe can empty 3 gallons per minute. All the three pipes working together can fill the tank in 15 minutes. The capacity of the tank is:

A) 60 gallons	B) 100 gallons
C) 120 gallons	D) 180 gallons

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 120 gallons

Explanation:

Work done by the waste pipe in 1 minute = $\frac{1}{15} - (\frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{24}) = \frac{1}{15} - \frac{11}{120} = - \frac{1}{40}$ [-ve sign means emptying]

Volume of $\frac{1}{40}$ part = 3 gallons

Volume of whole = (3 x 40) gallons = 120 gallons.

Q:

A sweet seller sells 3/5th part of sweets at a profit of 10% and remaining at a loss of 5%. If the total profit is Rs 1500, then what is the total cost price of sweets ?

A) Rs.37,500	B) Rs.36,400
C) Rs.37,415	D) Rs.36,500

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.37,500

Explanation:

Assume A be the cost price.

Therefore,
$(\frac{3}{5} \times A \times \frac{10}{100}) - (\frac{2}{5} \times A \times \frac{5}{100}) = 1500$

=> A = Rs 37,500.
