Q:

Every year before the festive season, a brand store increases the price of the product by 42% and then introduce two successive discount of 10% and 11% respectively. What is percentage loss and percentage gain ?

A) 3.25% loss B) 13.742% loss
C) 3.25% gain D) 13.742% gain
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 13.742% gain

Explanation:

Let CP = 100,
42 % increase => SP = 142
10 % discount in SP => ((142 x 10)/100) = 14.2
So 1st SP = (142 - 14.2) = 127.8, again 12 % discount in 1st SP ((127.8 x 11)/100) = 14.058
2nd SP = (127.8 - 14.058) = 113.742,
So finally CP = 100, SP = 113.742, => gain = 13.742%.

A) 36 kmph B) 32 kmph
C) 28 kmph D) 34 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 36 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of goods truck be 'p' kmph
Distance covered by goods truck in 10hrs (4+6) = Distance covered by other truck in 4 hrs.
10p = 4 x 90
p = 36kmph.
Therefore, the speed of the goods truck is p = 36 kmph.

Q:

Sony is one-fifth the age of her mother 15 years ago and Sony’s brother is three-fifth the age of his mother 10 years ago. If the sum of Sony and her brother’s ages is 31 then how old is Sony's mother ? 

A) 40 B) 50
C) 60 D) 70
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 50

Explanation:

Sony and her brother's age sum is 31
Let Sony's mother's age be 'x'.
Now the conditions given for both of their ages related to their mom is
1/5(x-15) + 3/5(x-10) = 31
x-15 + 3x-30 = 155
4x-45 = 155
4x = 200
x = 50
So, Mother's age = 50.

Cross verification : 15 years ago age = 35 => Sony age = 7
10 years ago age = 40 => bro age = 24

Sum = 24 + 7 = 31.

Q:

A man covers a distance of 1200 km in 70 days resting 9 hours a day, if he rests 10 hours a day and walks with speed 1½ times of the previous in how many days will he cover 840 km ?

A) 39 days B) 37 days
C) 35 days D) 33 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 35 days

Explanation:

Distance d = 1200km
let S be the speed

he walks 15 hours a day(i.e 24 - 9)
so totally he walks for 70 x 15 = 1050hrs.

S = 1200/1050 => 120/105 = 24/21 => 8/7kmph


given 1 1/2 of previous speed
so 3/2 * 8/7= 24/14 = 12/7

New speed = 12/7kmph

Now he rests 10 hrs a day that means he walks 14 hrs a day.

time = 840 x 7 /12 => 490 hrs
=> 490/14 = 35 days

So he will take 35 days to cover 840 km.

Q:

When I was married 10 years ago my wife is the 6th member of the family. Today my father died and a baby born to me.The average age of my family during my marriage is same as today. What is the age of Father when he died ?

A) 50 yrs B) 60 yrs
C) 70 yrs D) 65 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60 yrs

Explanation:

Let the Father be x years when he died

Average Age 10 years ago be A

Total Age 10 years ago = 6*A

Total Age after 10 years(Just before father's Death) = 6A + 6*10 = 6A + 60

Father Died and Baby was born => the Total number of people in the family is Same (6)
Baby born today so age of baby = 0

(6A +60 - x)/6 = 6A/6
=> A + 10 -(x/6) = A
=> x/6 = 10
=> x = 60

Therefore we can conclude that the father was 60 years old when he died.

Q:

Out of sixty students, there are 14 who are taking Economics and 29 who are taking Calculus. What is the probability that a randomly chosen student from this group is taking only the Calculus class ?

A) 8/15 B) 7/15
C) 1/15 D) 4/15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7/15

Explanation:

Given total students in the class = 60
Students who are taking Economics = 24 and
Students who are taking Calculus = 32
Students who are taking both subjects = 60-(24 + 32) = 60 - 56 = 4
Students who are taking calculus only = 32 - 4 = 28
probability that a randomly chosen student from this group is taking only the Calculus class = 28/60 = 7/15.

Q:

A batsman scores 26 runs and increases his average from 14 to 15. Find the runs to be made if he wants top increasing the average to 19 in the same match ?

A) 74 B) 79
C) 72 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 74

Explanation:

Number of runs scored more to increse the ratio by 1 is 26 - 14 = 12
To raise the average by one (from 14 to 15), he scored 12 more than the existing average.
Therefore, to raise the average by five (from 14 to 19), he should score 12 x 5 = 60 more than the existing average. Thus he should score 14 + 60 = 74.
