Q:

In a box, there are 9 blue, 6 white and some black stones. A stone is randomly selected and the probability that the stone is black is ¼. Find the total number of stones in the box? 

A) 15 B) 18
C) 20 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20

Explanation:

We know that, Total probability = 1

Given probability of black stones = 1/4

=> Probability of blue and white stones = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

But, given blue + white stones =  9 + 6 = 15

Hence,

3/4 ----- 15

 1   -----  ?

=> 15 x 4/3 = 20.

 

Hence, total number of stones in the box = 20.

Q:

Chennai express left Hyderabad for Chennai at 14 : 30 hours, travelling at a speed of 60 kmph and Charminar Express left Hyderabad for Chennai on the same day at 16 : 30 hours, travelling at a speed of 80 kmph. How far away from Hyderabad will the two trains meet? 

A) 360 kms B) 480 kms
C) 520 kms D) 240 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 480 kms

Explanation:

Now, the distance covered by Chennai express in 2 hrs = 60 x 2 = 120 kms

Let the Charminar Express takes 't' hrs to catch Chennai express

=> 80 x t = 60 x (2 + t)

=> 80 t = 120 + 60t

=> t = 6 hrs

 

Therefore, the distance away from Hyderabad the two trains meet = 80 x 6 = 480 kms.

Q:

Tilak rides on a cycle to a place at speed of 22 kmph and comes back at a speed of 20 kmph. If the time taken by him in the second case is 36 min. more than that of the first case, what is the total distance travelled by him (in km)?

A) 132 km B) 264 km
C) 134 km D) 236 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 264 km

Explanation:

Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms

Now, from the given data,

d/20 = d/22 + 36 min

=> d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs

=> d = 132 km.

 

Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.

Q:

What is the profit or loss % when a shopkeeper bought 4 mangoes for Rs. 6 and sold them @ 4 mangoes for Rs. 4?

A) 36.333% B) 33.666%
C) 33.333% D) 36.666%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 33.333%

Explanation:

Cost of 4 mangoes = Rs. 6 

Cost of 1 mango = Rs. 6/4 = Rs. 1.5

Now, Selling Price of 4 mangoes = Rs. 4

Selling Price of 1 mango = Rs. 4/4 = Rs. 1.0

 

      • We observe that, S.P < C.P

 

Hence, the shopkeeper incurs a loss.

 

Required loss% = loss/C.P x 100

Loss = 1.5 - 1 = 0.5

C.P = 1.5

Loss% = (0.5/1.5) x 100

 = (5/15) x 100

 = 1/3 x 100

 = 100/3

 = 33.333%.
