Q:

An intelligent boy is doing a jigsaw with 275 pieces. Each day that he fits pieces together there are fewer pieces left, and it is reasonable to assume that he fits more pieces each day because the number left to sort out diminishes progressively. Hence he is able to fit an extra piece as each day goes by. On the first day he fits 20 pieces. How many days does it take for him to complete the puzzle ?

A) 11 days B) 15 days
C) 13 days D) 16 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 11 days

Explanation:

Let 'n' number of days it take to complete.

 

we know that sum of n number= n/2[2a+(n-1)d]
where a=20,d=1;
n/2[2x20+(n-1)1]=275
n[n+39]=550
n2 + 39n - 550 = 0
 n2+ 50n - 11n - 550 = 0
(n-11) (n-50) = 0
n-11 = 0;
n = 11(Days).

Twenty percent of Karthik’s monthly salary is equal to thirty two percent of Nikitha’s monthly salary. Vipin’s monthly salary is four fifth that of Nikitha’s monthly salary. If Vipin’s annual salary is Rs. 3.84 lakhs, what is Karthik’s monthly salary?

A) 32,000 B) 64,000
C) 40,000 D) 52,000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 64,000

Explanation:

From the given data,

20% of K = 32% of N

V = 4/5 N

 

Given Vipin's salary = 3.84 lpa = 3.84/12 = 32,000 per month

Now, N = 5/4 x 32000 = 40000

Now K = 32/20 x 40000 = 64000

 

Hence, karthik's monthly salary = Rs. 64000.
