Q:

A container contains 120 lit of Diesel. From this container, 12 lit of Diesel was taken out and replaced by kerosene. This process was further repeated for two times. How much diesel is now there in the container ?

A) 88.01 lit	B) 87.48 lit
C) 87.51 lit	D) 87.62 lit

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 87.48 lit

Explanation:

For these type of problems,

Quantity of Diesel remained = $(q {(1 - \frac{p}{q})}^{n})$

Here p = 12 , q = 120

=> $(120 {(1 - \frac{12}{120})}^{3})$ = 120 x 0.9 x 0.9 x 0.9 = 87.48 lit.

Q:

What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following number series?

38, 195, ?, 4905, 24530, 122655

A) 980	B) 885
C) 824	D) 1021

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 980

Explanation:

The given series follows the pattern that,

×5+5, ×5+5, ×5+5, ×5+5, ×5+5

38 x 5 + 5 = 195

195 x 5 + 5 = 980

980 x 5 + 5 = 4905

4905 x 5 + 5 = 24530

24530 x 5 + 5 = 122655

So the missing number is 980 .

Q:

In an exhibition, Almond bought a painting for Rs. 20000. He later sold it to Olive for Rs. 23000. Olive sold it to Sarah for double the profit percentage that Almond earned. At what price should Sarah sell this painting to earn 8% profit ?

A) Rs. 34,410	B) Rs. 31,184
C) Rs. 29,999	D) Rs. 32,292

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 32,292

Explanation:

Almond Selling price = CP(1 + P%/100)

=> CP = 20000, SP = 23000

=> 23000 = 20000 (1 + P/100)

=> P% = 100(23000/20000 - 1) = 15

Then, Olive's P% = 30%

SP for Olive = CP for Sarah = 23000(1 + 30/100) = 29900

Now Sarah wants to earn profit of 8%

=> Sp for Sarah = 29900(1 + 8/100)

= Rs. 32,292.

Q:

Time taken by P alone to finish a work is 50% more than the time taken by P and Q together. Q is thrice as efficient as R. If Q and R together can complete the work in 22.5 days, then how many days will P alone take to complete the work ?

A) 17 days	B) 11 days
C) 15 days	D) 16 days

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 15 days

Explanation:

We know that Time is inversely proportional to Efficiency

Here given time ratio of P & P+Q as

P/P+Q = 150/100 = 3:2

Efficiency ratio of P & Q as

P:Q = 2:1 ....(1)

Given Efficiency ratio of Q & R as

Q:R = 3:1 ....(2)

From (1) & (2), we get

P:Q:R = 6:3:1

P alone can finish the work in

22.5(3+1)/6 = 15 days.
