Q:

The market price of an article was 40% more than its cost price. Rana was going to sell it at market price to a customer, but he showed Rana some defects in the article, due to which Rana gave him a discount of 28.57%. Next day he came again and showed Rana some more defects, hence he gave him another discount that was equal to 12.5% of the cost price. What was the approximate profit/loss to Rana ?

A) Loss of 12.5% B) Profit of 12.5%
C) Loss of 24.5% D) Profit of 22.5%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Loss of 12.5%

Explanation:

Let the cost price be Rs. 100
Then, market price is Rs. 140
Now, the first discount is of 28.57% Rs.140 =~ Rs. 40
Hence, its selling price = 140 - 40 = Rs. 100
Now since Rana is selling at cost price, any further discount will be equal to loss percentage.
The next dicount of 12.5% will be the loss percentage to Rana.

Q:

Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 15 min and 20 min respectively. Both the pipes are opened together but after 4 min, pipe A is turned off. What is the total time required to fill the tank ?

A) 15 min 20 sec. B) 16 min 40 sec.
C) 13 min 10 sec. D) 14 min 40 sec.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 14 min 40 sec.

Explanation:

Part filled in 4 minutes = 4(1/15 + 1/20) = 7/15

 

Remaining part = 1 - 7/15 = 8/15

 

Part filled by B in 1 minute = 1/20

 

1/20 : 8/15 :: 1 : k

 

k = (8/15 )x 1 x 20 = 10( 2/3) min = 10 min 40 sec.

 

The tank will be full in (4 min. + 10 min. 40 sec) = 14 min 40 sec.

Q:

The value of a machine depreciates at the rate of 10% every year. It was purchased 3 years ago. If its present value is Rs. 8,748, its purchase price was ?

A) Rs.14,000 B) Rs.12,000
C) Rs. 12,800 D) Rs. 15,000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.12,000

Explanation:

We have P = 8748, R = -10 and n = 3
Therefore, the purchase price of the machine
= P1+R100n= 87481-101003
= 8748 x (100/90) x (100/90) x (100/90)
= 12,000.

 

Therefore, the purchase price of the machine was Rs. 12,000.

Q:

How many minutes does a watch lose per day, if its hands coincide every 64 minutes ?

A) 36 7/9 min B) 32 8/11 min
C) 34 3/11 min D) 65 5/11 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 32 8/11 min

Explanation:

55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min.

60 min. spaces are covered in open parentheses 60 over 55 cross times 60 close parentheses min. = 65 5 over 11 min.

Loss in 64 min. = open parentheses 65 5 over 11 minus 64 close parentheses equals 16 over 11 min.

Loss in 24 hrs = open parentheses 16 over 11 cross times 1 over 64 cross times 24 cross times 60 close parentheses min. = 32 8 over 11 min.

Q:

A person is asked to put in a basket one apple when ordered 'one', one guava when ordered 'two', one orange whe ordered 'three' and is asked to take out from the basket one apple and one guava both when ordered 'four'. The ordered sequence executed by the person is as follows :

1 2 3 3 2 1 4 2 3 1 4 2 2 3 3 1 4 1 1 3 2 3 4


1. How many apples will be there in the basket at the end of the above order sequence ?
      (a) 4     (b) 3     (c) 2    (d) 1


2. How many fruits will be there in the basket at the end of the above order sequence ?
      (a) 13   (b) 17   (c) 9    (d) 11

Answer

1. Answer (c)


Each time we order 1, one apple is added to the basket but each time when 4 is ordered, one apple is removed from it.


Required number of apples = number of 1's - number of 4's = 6 - 4 = 2


2. Answer (d)


Each time we order 1, 2 or 3, one fruit is added to the basket but when ever we order 4, two fruits are removed from it.


Required number = Number of 1's + Number of 2's + Number of 3's - 2 x (Number of 4's)


= 6 + 6 + 7 - (2x4)
= 19 - 8
= 11.
