Q:

In a purse there are 30 coins, twenty one-rupee and remaining 50-paise coins. Eleven coins are picked simultaneously at random and are placed in a box. If a coin is now picked from the box, find the probability of it being a rupee coin?

A) 4/7 B) 2/3
C) 1/2 D) 5/6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2/3

Explanation:

Total coins 30

In that,

1 rupee coins 20

50 paise coins 10

Probability of total 1 rupee coins =  20C11

Probability that 11 coins are picked = 30C11

Required probability of a coin now picked from the box is 1 rupee = 20C11/30C11 = 2/3.

Q:

Three taps P, Q and R can fill a tank in 12 hrs, 15 hrs and 20 hrs respectively. If P is open all the time and Q and R are open for one hour each alternately, starting with Q, then the tank will be full in how many hours ?

A) 9 hrs B) 7 hrs
C) 13 hrs D) 11 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7 hrs

Explanation:

Given,

P can fill in 12 hrs

Q can fill in 15 hrs

R can fill in 20 hrs

=> Volume of tank = LCM of 12, 15, 20 = 60 lit

=> P alone can fill the tank in 60/12 = 5 hrs

=> Q alone can fill the tank in 60/15 = 4 hrs

=> R alone can fill the tank in 60/20 = 3 hrs

Tank can be filled in the way that

(P+Q) + (P+R) + (P+Q) + (P+R) + ....

=> Tank filled in 2 hrs = (5+4) + (5+3) = 9 + 8 = 17 lit

=> In 6 hrs = 17 x 6/2 = 51 lit

=> In 7th hr = 51 + (5+4) = 51 + 9 = 60 lit

=> So, total tank will be filled in 7 hrs.

Q:

A trader mixes 36 kg of rice at Rs. 20 per kg with 14 kg of rice of other variety at Rs. 36 per kg and sells the mixture at Rs. 30 per kg. His profit percent is:

A) 25% B) 21.14%
C) 22.54% D) 27.32%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 22.54%

Explanation:

C.P. of 50 kg rice = Rs. (36 x 20 + 14 x 36) = Rs. (720 + 504) = Rs.1224.  

S.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (50 x 30) = Rs.1500.

Profit = 1500 - 1224 = Rs.276 

 

Profit % = ProfitC.P×100  = 2761224×100 = 22.54%.
