Q:

A,B,C together can do a piece of work in 10 days.All the three started workingat it together and after 4 days,A left.Then,B and C together completed the work in 10 more days.In how many days can complete a work alone ?

A) 25 B) 24
C) 23 D) 21
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 25

Explanation:

(A+B+C) do 1 work in 10 days.

So (A+B+C)'s 1 day work=1/10 and as they work together for 4 days so workdone by them in 4 days=4/10=2/5


Remaining work=1-2/5=3/5

 

(B+C) take 10 more days to complete 3/5 work. So( B+C)'s 1 day work=3/50


Now A'S 1 day work=(A+B+C)'s 1 day work - (B+C)'s 1 day work=1/10-3/50=1/25

A does 1/25 work in in 1 day

Therefore 1 work in 25 days.

Q:

Statement :

The byproducts obtained from animals such as hairs, skins, horns, etc. contain at least 45 per cent food protein. Indian scientists have developed methods to segregate 50 per cent of this protein. They have used an enzyme developed in Russia for destruction of soya-proteins.

Conclusions:

A. Indian scientists cannot develop enzymes.

B. If a suitable method involving less cost is developed then many more food protein would be obtained.

A) Only A follows B) Only B follows
C) Neither A nor B follows D) Both A & B follows
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Neither A nor B follows

Explanation:

There is no indication that Indian scientists are incapable of developing enzymes. There could be any number of reasons why Indian scientists used Russian enzymes.

So conclusion A does not follow.

In addition, cost is not discussed in the passage at all. There is no mention of a correlation between cost and extraction of proteins.

Thus, conclusion B does not follow either.

Q:

A certain sum of money amounts to Rs 1008 in 2 years and to Rs 1164 in 3 ½  years. Find the sum and the rate of interest.

A) 800, 14% B) 800, 13%
C) 800, 12% D) 800, 19%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 800, 13%

Explanation:

S.I. for 1 ½ years = Rs (1164 - 1008) = Rs 156 . 

S.I. for 2 years = Rs (156 x 23 x 2)= Rs 208. 

Therefore, Principal = Rs (1008 - 208) = Rs 800. 

Now, P = 800, T= 2 and S.I. = 208.

Therefore, Rate = (100 x S.I.) / (P x T) = [ (100 x 208)/(800 x 2)]% = 13%
