Q:

Two pipes A and B can separately fill a cistern in 60 min and 75 min respectively. There is a third pipe in the bottom of the cistern to empty it. If all the three pipes are simultaneously opened, then the cistern is full in 50 min. In how much time, the third pipe alone can empty the cistern ?

Q:

A man purchases two articles, on selling one at loss of 20% while the other at a profit of 25%, he gains the overall profit of 5% than find the ratio of their selling price ?

A) 8 : 62.5 B) 55 : 8
C) 8 : 65 D) 64.4 : 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 8 : 62.5

Explanation:

                      Article I                   Article II
                         -20                         25%
                                        5%
                         20%                       25%
                     

                          4              :              5

Now, Selling of first article = (4-20%) = 0.8

Selling of second article = (5+25%) =  6.25

Therefore the ratio of selling price = 8 : 62.5

Q:

How many number of weights do you need to weight 31 kg of Rice if you have one kg of weight stone ?

A) 3 B) 5
C) 7 D) 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5

Explanation:

There are total 5 ways.
we have only one kg of weight so,
2kg = 1kg + 1kg
4kg = 1 + 2 + 1
8kg = 1 + 2 + 4 + 1
16kg = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 1
31kg = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16
So 5 weights are needed.

Q:

In a mens hostel, there were 95 students. To accommodate 30 more students the average is decreased by rupees 5. But total expenditure increased by Rs.500. Find the total expenditure of the hostel now ?

A) Rs. 4680 B) Rs. 4420
C) Rs. 4960 D) Rs. 5480
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 4680

Explanation:

Let the expenditure on the 95 students be 'x'

Then,

95x + 500 = 120(x – 5)
95x + 500 = 120x - 600
120x - 95x = 1100
25x = 1100
=> x = 44

Therefore, total expenditure of the hostel becomes
95 x 44 + 500 = 4680.
