Q:

In what ratio must a merchant mix two varieties of oils worth Rs. 60/kg and Rs. 65/kg, so that by selling the mixture at Rs. 68.20/kg, he may gain 10% ?

A) 2:3 B) 4:3
C) 3:4 D) 3:2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3:2

Explanation:

Let he mixes the oils in the ratio = x : y

Then, the cost price of the oils = 60x + 65y

Given selling price = Rs. 68.20

=> Selling price = 68.20(x+y)

Given profit = 10% = SP - CP

=> 10/100 (60x + 65y) = 68.20(x+y)-(60x + 65y)

=> 6x + 6.5y = 8.20x + 3.20y

=>2.2x = 3.3y

=> x : y = 3 : 2

Q:

A jogger running at 9 kmph alongside a railway track is 240 metres ahead of the engine of a 120 metre long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger  ?

A) 10 sec B) 48 sec
C) 36 sec D) 56 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 36 sec

Explanation:

Given speed of jogger = 9 kmph
Speed of train = 45 kmph
As they are in same direction,
Relative speed = 45 - 9 = 36 kmph = 36x5/18 = 10 m/s
Distance = 240 + 120 = 360 mts
Time = distance/speed = 360/10 = 36 sec.

5, 14, 42, 107, 233, _?

Differences is 9, 28, 65, 126

9 = 2^3 + 1

28 = 3^3 + 1

65 = 4^3 + 1

126 = 5^3 + 1

Now, next difference must be 6^3 + 1 = 217

Hence, next number in the given series = 233 + 217 = 450.
