Q:

A bottle is sold at a loss of 9%. Had it sold for Rs. 15 more, a profit of 25/2% would have gained. What is the cost price of the bottle (approx)?

A) Rs. 32 B) Rs. 35
C) Rs. 36 D) Rs. 33
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 35

Explanation:

Let the cost price of the bottle = Rs. 100

Selling price of the bottle = Rs. 100 - Rs. 9 = Rs. 91

Then, from the given data,

=> 112 (1/2) - 91 = 15

=> 21 (1/2) = 15

=> 43 = 15

Then 100 = ?

1500/43 = 34.885 =~ 35

Hence, the cost price of the bottle = Rs. 35

Q:

A motorboat running upstream takes 8 hours 48 minutes to cover a certain distance, while it takes 4 hours to cover the same distance running downstream. What is the ratio between the speed of the motorboat and speed of the water current respectively?

A) 3:7 B) 7:9
C) 5:4 D) 8:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8:3

Explanation:

Let the man's rate upstream be x kmph and that downstream be y kmph.

Then, distance covered upstream in 8 hrs 48 min = Distance covered downstream in 4 hrs.

x x 8 4 = (y x 4)
5
44 x =4y
5
 y = 11 x.
5
 Required ratio = y + x : y - x
2 2
   = 16x x 1 : 6x x 1
5 2 5 2
   = 8 : 3
5 5

   = 8 : 3.

Q:

If 1/a+1/b+1/c = 1/(a+b+c) where a+b+c not equals '0', abc not equals '0', What is the value of (a+b) (b+c) (a+c) ?

A) 3 B) 2
C) 1 D) 0
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 0

Explanation:

Let assume the value of a,b &c that will satisfy the equation.
so a=1,b=1,c= -1 or a=1,b= -1 &c=1 or a= -1,b=1,c=1
here all three cases satisfy the equation
assume any one a=1,b=1,c= -1

Hence (a+b)(b+c)(c+a)=(1+1)(1-1)(-1+1) = 0
