Q:

An employee may claim Rs. 7.00 for each km when he travels by taxi and Rs. 6.00 for each km if he drives his own car. If in one week he claimed Rs. 595 for traveling 90 km. How many kms did he travel by taxi ?

A) 55 kms B) 35 kms
C) 25 kms D) 65 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 55 kms

Explanation:

Let x and y be the respective km's travelled by man via taxi and by his own car.
Given x + y = 90 => x = 90 - y
But according to the question,
7x + 6y = 595
7(90-y) + 6y = 595
=> 630 - 7y + 6y = 595
=> y = 630 - 595 = 35
=> x = 90 - 35 = 55
Therefore, the distance travelled by taxi is 55 kms.

Q:

The interest on a certain deposit at 4.5% p.a. is Rs. 202.50 in one year. How much will the additional interest in one year be on the same deposit at 5% p.a.  ?

A) Rs. 22.5 B) Rs. 2.5
C) Rs. 202 D) Rs. 25
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 22.5

Explanation:

We know that I = PTR/100
=> P = 20250/4.5 = 4500
Now, new Interest at 5% = 4500x1x5/100 = 225
Now the additional amount = 225 - 202.5 = Rs. 22.5

A) 175 B) 165
C) 155 D) 145
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 155

Explanation:

Let the number of failed students be x

=> Number of passed students = 4x 

So total number of students was 5x

From the given data,

If total number of students be 5x – 35

=> 4x-35-9/x+9 = 2/1

=> 4x – 44 = 2(x + 9)

=> 4x – 2x = 18 + 44

=> x = 31

Total number = 31×5

= 155
