Q:

A train runs through cities A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. The line graph indicates the time schedule of the train including times of arrival and departure.

1. The total stoppage time at the cities in the first half and second half of the total distance is in the ratio.

1. 1 : 3 2. 3 : 1 3. 2 : 1 4. 1 : 2

2. Between how many pairs of consecutive stations does the speed run below the overall average speed of the entire trip?

1. 2 2. 1 3. 3 4. 4

3. If the train stops at each city for 50% more time than what it is at present, then at what time will it arrive at city H after departing from city A as per schedule ?

1. 20.16 2. 19.02 3. 18.51 4. 18.59

4. The overall average speed of the entire trip excluding stoppage time is nearly :

1. 75 km/h 2. 81 km/h 3. 46 km/h 4. 65 km/hr

5. What percent of time of the entire trip was actually spent travelling between the cities ?

1. 91.8% 2. 7.6% 3. 76% 4. 24%

Answer

1. Answer : 4

Explanation : Required ratio = $\frac{10 + 2 + 5}{10 + 15 + 10} = \frac{17}{35} \approx \frac{1}{2} = 1 : 2$

2. Answer : 1

Explanation :

A to B Speed = $\frac{140 \times 3}{5}$ = 84

B to C Speed = $\frac{91 \times 3}{4}$ = 68.25

C to D Speed = $\frac{149 \times 60}{103}$ = 86.796

D to E Speed = $\frac{88 \times 3}{4}$ = 66

E to F Speed = $\frac{106 \times 4}{5}$ = 84.8

F to G Speed = $\frac{176}{2}$ = 88

G to h Speed = $\frac{110 \times 4}{5}$ = 88

Average speed of entire trip = $\frac{84 + 68.25 + 86.796 + 66 + 84.8 + 88 + 88}{7}$ =80.83

3. Answer : 3

Explanation : Total half time = 10 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 15 + 10 = 52

Total half time, if the train stops at each city for 50% more= $52 \times \frac{150}{100}$ =78

Train will arrive at city H after departing from city A = 18.25 + (78 - 52 )=18.25 + 26=18.51

4. Answer : 2

Explanation : Average speed = $\frac{84 + 68.25 + 86.796 + 66 + 84.8 + 88 + 88}{7}$ =80.83=81 km/hr

5. Answer : 1

Explanation : Required percentage of time = $\frac{1.40 + 1.20 + 1.43 + 1.20 + 1.15 + 2 + 1.15}{18.25 - 7} \times 100$ = $\frac{10.23}{11.25} \times 100$ = 91.8 %

Q:

A Shopkeeper sells two articles at Rs.1000 each, making a profit of 20% on the first article and a loss of 20% on the second article. Find the net Profit or loss that he makes?

A) 4%	B) 5%
C) 6%	D) 8%

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4%

Explanation:

SP of first article = Rs.1000

Profit = 20%

$C P = S P x \frac{100}{100 + P %} = R s . \frac{2500}{3}$

SP of Second Article = Rs.1000

Loss = 20%

$C P = S P x \frac{100}{100 - L %} = R s . 1250$

So, Total SP = Rs.2000; Total CP = Rs.6250/3

As the CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.

Loss = CP - SP = (6250/3) - 2000 = Rs.(250/3)

So, Loss Percent = Lossx100/CP = 4%

Q:

There are eight poets, namely, A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H in respect of whom questions are being asked in the examination. The first four are ancient poets and the last four are modern poets. The question on ancient and modern poets is being asked in alternate years. Those who like H also like G, those who like D like C also. The examiner who sets question is not likely to ask question on D because he has written an article on him. But he likes D. Last year a question was asked on F. Considering these facts, on whom the question is most likely to be asked this year ?

Answer

Answer : C

Explanation :

Since the examiner likes D, it means he must like C also, since the question states that those who like D like C also.

Since last year a question was asked on F, who is a modern poet, this year a question will be asked on an ancient poet which means A,B,C or D

Now the examiner is not likely to ask question on D because he has written an article on him. So he will ask the question on C since he likes C as well
