Q:

One lady has 2 children, one of her child is boy, what is the probability of having both are boys ?

A) 1/3 B) 1/2
C) 2/3 D) 2/5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1/3

Explanation:

In a family with 2 children there are four possibilities:
1) the first child is a boy and the second child is a boy (bb)
2) the first child is a boy and the second child is a girl (bg)
3) the first child is a girl and the second child is a boy (gb)
4) the first child is a girl and the second child is a girl (gg)

But already given that one child is boy. So we have three possibilities of (bb)(bg)(gb).
n(E)= both are boys=BB=1
n(S)= 3
Required probability P = n(E)/n(S) = 1/3.

Q:

A shopkeeper sells two articles at Rs.1000 each, making a profit of 30% on the first article and a loss of 20% on the second article. Find the net profit or loss that he makes ?

A) 0.85 % B) 0.95 %
C) 1.0 % D) 1.3 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 0.95 %

Explanation:

SP of first article = 1000
Profit = 30%
CP = (SP)x[100/(100+P)] = 10000/13

SP of second article = 1000
Loss = 20%
CP = (SP)x[100/(100-L)] = 5000/4 = 1250

Total SP = 2000

Total CP = 10000/13 + 1250 = 2019.23

CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.

Loss = CP-SP = 2019.23 - 2000 = 19.23
Loss Percent = [(19.23)/(2019.23)]x100 = 0.95 %.

Q:

The average score of boys in an examination in a school is 81 and that of the girls is 83 and the average score of the school is 81.8. Then what will be ratio between the number of girls to the number of boys, in the examination?

A) 3:2 B) 2:3
C) 4:3 D) 3:4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2:3

Explanation:

Let the number of boys = b

Let the number of girls = g

From the given data,

 

81b + 83g = 81.8(b + g)

81.8b - 81b = 83g - 81.8g

0.8b = 1.2g

b/g = 1.2/0.8 = 12/8 = 3/2

=> g : b = 2 : 3

 

Hence, ratio between the number of girls to the number of boys = 2 : 3.

Q:

A,B,C can complete a work in 15,20 and 30 respectively.They all work together for two days then A leave the work,B and C work some days and B leaves 2 days before completion of that work.how many days required to complete the whole work?

Answer

Given A,B,C can complete a work in 15,20 and 30 respectively.


The total work is given by the LCM of 15, 20, 30 i.e, 60.


A's 1 day work = 60/15 = 4 units


B's 1 day work = 60/20 = 3 units


C's 1 day work = 60/30 = 2 units


(A + B + C) worked for 2 days = (4 + 3 + 2) 2 = 18 units


 Let B + C worked for x days = (3 + 2) x = 5x units


C worked for 2 days = 2 x 2 = 4 units


Then, 18 + 5x + 4 = 60


22 + 5x = 60


5x = 38


x = 7.6


 


Therefore, total number of days taken to complete the work = 2 + 7.6 + 2 = 11.6 = 11 3/5 days.

Q:

In a regular week, there are 5 working days and for each day, the working hours are 8. A man gets Rs. 2.40 per hour for regular work and Rs. 3.20 per hours for overtime. If he earns Rs. 432 in 4 weeks, then how many hours does he work for ?

A) 145 B) 165
C) 175 D) 135
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 175

Explanation:

Given that,

 working days = 5

 working hours = 8

 A man get rupess per hour is Rs.2.40

 So in one day the man get total rupees is 2.40 x 8 = 19.2

 So in 5 days week the man get total rupees is 19.2 x 5 = 96

 So in 4 week the man get total rupees is 96 x 4 = 384

 So the man worked for = 160hours in 4 weeks

 

 But given that the man earned Rs.432

 

 Hence remaning money is (432-384 = 48)which is earn by doing overtime work

 


Overtime hours  = 48/3.20 = 15


So total worked hours is = 15 + 160 = 175.
