Gain or loss can be calculated as

9.75 x 75 - (30 x 9 + 45 x 10)

= 731.25 - 720

Q:

Total 100 members are writing exam. In that 48 members are writing first exam, 45 members are writing second exam and 38 members are writing third exam. 5 members are writing all the three exams. How many members are writing 2 exams ?

A) 26 B) 23
C) 27 D) 21
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 21

Explanation:

Total number of exams written by 100 students = 48 + 45 + 38 = 131
Now let us say x members are writing only 1 exam, y members are writing only 2 exams, z members are writing only 3 exams.
Therefore, x + 2y + 3z = 131 also x + y + z = 100.
Given that z = 5. So x + 2y = 116 and x + y = 95.
Solving we get y = 21.
So 21 members are writing exactly 2 exams.

Q:

A 200 m long train passes a motorcycler, running in the same direction at 12 km/hr, in 15 second and a jeep travelling in the same direction in 20 s. At what speed is the car travelling (length of both the motorcycler and jeep is negligible)?

A) 36 kmph B) 32 kmph
C) 29 kmph D) 24 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 24 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the train be 'S' kmph

From the given data,

Distance = Length of train = D = 200 mts = 200 x 18/5 kms

Time = 10 sec

given speed of the motorcycler = 12 kmph

Relative speed as they are moving in the same direction = (S - 12) kmph

(S- 12) = 200 x 18515S - 12 = 48S = 60 kmph 

Hence, the speed of the train = S = 60 kmph

Now,

Let the speed of the jeep be 'x' kmph

60 - x = 200 x 1852060 - x = 36x = 60 - 36x = 24 kmph

 

Therefore, the speed of the jeep = x = 24 kmph.
