Q:

A and B runs around a circular track. A beats B by one round or 10 minutes. In this race, they had completed 4 rounds. If the race was only of one round, find the A's time over the course:

A) 8 min B) 7.5 min
C) 12.5 min D) 12 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7.5 min

Explanation:

B runs around the track in 10 min.

 i.e ,    Speed of B = 10 min per round

 Therefore,  A beats B by 1 round

  Time taken  by A to complete 4 rounds 

  = Time taken by B to complete 3 rounds  

 = 30 min 

 

Therefore, A's speed = 30/4 min per round = 7.5 min per round

 Hence, if the race is only of one round A's time over the course = 7 min 30 sec

Q:

A boat 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 boat and speed of the water current respectively?

A) 7:4 B) 11:4
C) 4:7 D) 8:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8:3

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat upstream be p kmph and that of downstream be q kmph

 

Time for upstream = 8 hrs 48 min = 845hrs

 

Time for downstream = 4 hrs

 

Distance in both the cases is same.

 

=> p x  845= q x 4

 

=> 44p/5 = 4q

 

=> q = 11p/5

 

 Now, the required ratio of Speed of boat : Speed of water current

 

q+p2:q-p2

 

=> (11p/5 + p)/2  : (11p/5 - p)/2

 

=> 8 : 3

Q:

A wholesale dealer allows a discount of 20 % on the marked price to the retailer. The retailer sells at 5% below the marked price. If the customer pays Rs.19 for an article, what profit is made by the retailer on it ?

A) Rs. 4 B) Rs. 3
C) Rs. 5 D) Rs. 1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 3

Explanation:

Let wholesaler dealers marked price = 100%, Retailer's C.P = 80%
And the retailer sells at 5% less than the marked price => S.P = 95%
If S.P of 95% of the retailer costs Rs.19 to customer,so its C.P of 80% will cost 80 x 19/95 = 16
Profit made by the retailer = 19-16 =  Rs.3
