Q:

In a business, A invested 1200 rs. more than B. B invested his amount for 15 months while A invested for 4 months more than that of B. If total profit was 1240 rs. in which the profit of B is 280 Rs. less than that if A. then what was the invested amount of A?

A) 6000 B) 7000
C) 5000 D) 8000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6000

Explanation:

Ans. 
Let B’s investment = x rs.
∴ A’s investment =( x + 1200) rs.
Ratio of the profits of A and B = (x+1200)*(15+4):x*15 = {19(x+1200)}:15x
Now,let the total profit of A =y
∴ total profit of B = (y-280)
But total profit = 1240
⇒y+(y-280)=1240
⇒2y=1520
⇒y= 760
∴profit of A = 760rs.
Profit of B = 760-280=480 rs.
Ratio of profits= 760:480 = 19:12
According to the question,

19(x+1200)/15x = 19/12

12x+14400 = 15x

⇒3x = 14400
⇒x = 4800 rs.
⇒investment of A = 4800+1200
                          = 6000 rs.

Q:

Mr. Shankar spends 25% of his monthly salary on household expenditure, 20% of the remaining on children’s education, and the remaining is equally invested in three different schemes. If the amount invested in each scheme is Rs.5600, what is the monthly salary of Shankar ?

A) Rs. 34000 B) Rs. 31245
C) Rs. 24315 D) Rs. 28000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 28000

Explanation:

Let the monthly salary of Shankar be = Rs.x
Amount invested on expenditure = 25% = x/4;
Remaning amount = 3x/4;
Amount invested on children education = 20% i.e = 3x/20;
Remaining amount = 3x/4 - 3x/20 = 3x/5;
Remaining amount invested in three different schemes i.e is 1/3(3x/5)
=> x/5 = 5600
Therefore x = 28000
Hence, Monthly salary of Shankar is Rs. 28,000.

Q:

Let K and L be events on the same sample space, with P (K) = 0.8 and P (B) = 0.6. Are these two events are disjoint ?

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

These two events cannot be disjoint because P(K) + P(L) > 1.


P(AꓴB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AꓵB).


An event is disjoint if P(A ꓵ B) = 0. If K and L are disjoint P(K ꓴ L) = 0.8 + 0.6 = 1.4


And Since probability cannot be greater than 1, these two mentioned events cannot be disjoint.

Maths_logic_puzzle1557901040.png image

A) 7 B) 8
C) 11 D) 13
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8

Explanation:

In the given puzzle,

The logic is in the format of lets say, a/b


In that case b doesn't matter, because

2/2 = 1,

6/5 = 6/2 = 3,

10/11 = 10/2 = 5

 

This means that equation is a/2

So 16/19 is equal 16/2 = 8.
