Q:

One-third of the boys and one-half of the girls of a college participated in a sport. If the number of participating students is 300, out of which 100 are boys. What is the total number of students in the college ?

A) 550 B) 575
C) 625 D) 700
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 700

Explanation:

Let number of boys = B

Number of girls = G

From the given data,

1B/3 + 1G/2 = 300

But given B/3 = 100

=> B = 300

G/2 = 300 - 100

G = 200 x 2

=> G = 400

Therefore, total number of students in the college = B + G = 700.

Q:

Train K crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train L crosses the same pole in one minute and 20 seconds. The length of train K is three-fourths the length of train L. What is the ratio of the speed of train K to that of train L   ?

A) 1 : 3 B) 2 : 1
C) 3 : 1 D) 1 : 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2 : 1

Explanation:

Given that train K crosses a pole in 30 seconds and train L crosses the same pole in one minute and 15 seconds.

Let the length of train K be Lk and that of train L be Ll

given that Lk = 3/4 Ll

As the train K and L crosses the pole in 30 seconds and 80 seconds respectively,
=> Speed of train K = sk = Lk/30

Speed of train L = sl = Ll/80

Lk = 3/4 Ll
=> sk = 3/4 Ll/(30) = Ll/40

Ratio of their speeds = sk : sl
= Ll/40 : Ll/80

=> 1/40 : 1/80  =  2 : 1

Q:

Althaf borrows Rs. 1500 from two moneylenders. He pays interest at the rate of 12% per annum for one loan and at the rate of 14% per annum for the other. The total interest he pays for the entire year is Rs. 186. How much does he borrow at the rate of 12% ?

A) Rs. 300 B) Rs. 400
C) Rs. 1200 D) Rs. 1100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 1200

Explanation:

Let Althaf lent Rs. A at 14% per year.
Hence, Money lent at 12% = (1500-A);
Given, total interest = Rs. 186.
{(A x 14x 1)/100} + {[(1500-A) x 12 x 1/100]} = 186;
14A/100 + (18000 -12A)/100 = 186;
14A + 18000 - 12A = 186x100;
2A = 18600-18000;
A = 600/2 = Rs. 300.
Hence, money lent at 12% = 1500-300 = Rs. 1200.
