Q:

At 3.40, the hour hand and the minute hand of a clock form an angle of:

A) 110	B) 120
C) 130	D) 140

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 130

Explanation:

Angle traced by hour hand in 12 hrs. = 360º.

Angle traced by it in $\frac{11}{3}$ hrs = ${(\frac{360}{12} \times \frac{11}{3})}^{0}$ = $110^{0}$

Angle traced by minute hand in 60 min. = $360^{0}$

Angle traced by it in 40 min = ${(\frac{360}{60} \times 40)}^{0}$ = $240^{0}$

$\therefore$ Required angle (240 - 110)º = $130^{0}$

Q:

A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 27, then how old is B ?

A) 10 yrs	B) 11 yrs
C) 12 yrs	D) 13 yrs

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 yrs

Explanation:

Let C's age be x years.
Then, B's age = 2x years.
A's age = (2x + 2) years.
(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27
5x = 25 => x = 5
Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.

Q:

An order was placed for the supply of a carpet whose breadth was 6 m and length was 1.44 times the breadth. What be the cost of a carpet whose length and breadth are 40% more and 25% more respectively than the first carpet. Given that the ratio of carpet is Rs. 45 per sq. m ?

A) Rs. 4082.40	B) Rs. 1024.21
C) Rs. 2810.6	D) Rs. 3214

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 4082.40

Explanation:

Length of the first carpet = (1.44)(6) = 8.64 cm

Area of the second carpet = 8.64(1 + 40/100) 6 (1 + 25/100)

= 51.84(1.4)(5/4) sq m = (12.96)(7) sq m

Cost of the second carpet = (45)(12.96 x 7) = 315 (13 - 0.04) = 4095 - 12.6 = Rs. 4082.40

Q:

A salesman calculated his profit on the marked price and finds it to be 30%. He forgets the fact that he gave a discount of 20%. What is his actual profit percentage?

A) 260/11%	B) 18.4%
C) 22.5%	D) 100/7%

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 100/7%

Explanation:

When profit is calculated on Marked Price (M.P) then,

C.P = M.P - P%

Let M.P = 100

=> C.P = 100 - 30 = 70

But S.P = Rs. 80 as he gave 20% discount,

Now, Actual Profit = $\frac{80 - 70}{70} x 100$

= 100/7 %
