Q:

A and B enter into partnership. A supplies whole of the capital amounting to Rs. 45000 with the condition that the profits to be equally divided and that B pays A interest on half of the capital at 10% per annum, but receives Rs. 120 per month for carrying on the concern.Find their total yearly profit when B's income is one half of A's income.

Answer

Let the total profit be Rs. x

Amount paid to B as salary = (120 x 12)

= Rs.1440

Share of each = $\inline (\frac{x-1440}{2})$

Interest paid by B = $\inline \frac{22500\times 10}{100}=Rs.2250$

Total money received by A = $\inline \frac{x-1440}{2}+2250$

= Rs. $\inline (\frac{x+3060}{2})$

Total money received by B

$\inline [(\frac{x-1440}{2})+1440-2250]= (\frac{x-3060}{2})$

$\inline \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}-(\frac{x+3060}{2})-(\frac{x-3060}{2})$

$\inline \Rightarrow x=9180$

Q:

Subbu purchased a tape recorder at 9/10 of its selling price and sold it at 8% more than its selling price. His gain is

Answer

Let S.P = x then C.P = $\inline \frac{9x}{10}$

Selling price received by subbu = (108% of x)

= $\inline \frac{108}{100}x=\frac{27}{25}x$

Gain= $\inline (\frac{27}{25}x-\frac{9}{10}x)=\frac{9}{50}x$

Hence gain% = $\inline (\frac{9x}{50}\times \frac{10}{9x}\times 100)$ = 20%

Q:

A contractor undertakes to complete a work in 130 days. He employs 150 men for 25 days and they complete 1/4 of the work . He then reduces the number of men to 100, who work for 60 days, after which there are 10 days holidays.How many men must be employed for the remaining period to finish the work?

Answer

150 men in 25 days do = $\frac{1}{4}$ work

Let 1 man in 1 day does = x work

Total work done by 150 men in 25 days = 150x * 25 = $\frac{1}{4}$ work => x = $\frac{1}{15000}$

Therefore, 100 men in 60 days do = 100 * 60x = 6000x work = 6/15 = 2/5

Total work done = $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{5} = \frac{13}{20}$

Therefore, Remaining work = 1 - $\frac{13}{20}$ = $\frac{7}{20}$

Remaining time = 130 - (25+60+10) = 35 days

Therefore, work is done in 25 days by 150 men.

Therefore, Work is done in 35 days by 150 men.

Hence, he should employ 50 more men.

Q:

A and B can do a piece of work in 40 and 50 days. If they work at it an alternate days with A beginning in how many days, the work will be finished ?

Answer

(A+B)'s two days work = $\frac{1}{40} + \frac{1}{50} = \frac{9}{200}$

Evidently, the work done by A and B duing 22 pairs of days

i.e in 44 days = $22 \times \frac{9}{200} = \frac{198}{200}$

Remaining work = $1 - \frac{198}{200}$ = 1/100

Now on 45th day A will have the turn to do 1/100 of the work and this work A will do in $40 \times \frac{1}{100} = \frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, Total time taken = 44 $\frac{2}{5}$ daya

Q:

Divide Rs.6500 among A,B and C so that after spending 90% , 75% and 60% of their respective saving were in the ratio of 3: 5: 6

Answer

A's spending 90% $\inline \therefore$ saving = 10%

B's spending 75% $\therefore$ saving = 25%

C's spending 60% $\inline \therefore$ saving = 40%

Let us suppose A, B and C saves Rs. 3.5 and 6 respectively.

$\inline \therefore$ 10% of A's saving = Rs.3

100% of A's saving = $\inline \frac{3}{10}\times 100$ = Rs. 30

25% of B's saving = Rs. 5

100% of B's saving = $\inline \frac{5}{25}\times 100$ = Rs. 20

40% of C's saving = Rs.6

100% of C's saving = $\inline \frac{6}{40}\times 100$ = Rs. 15

Divide Rs. 6500 in the ratio of 30 : 20 : 15 as

A's Share = $\inline \frac{30}{65}\times 6500$ = Rs. 3000

B's Share = $\inline \frac{20}{65}\times 6500$ = Rs. 2000

C's Share = $\inline \frac{15}{65}\times 6500$ = Rs. 1500

Q:

A batsman makes a score of 87 runs in the 17th inning and thus increases his average by 3. Find his average after 17th inning?

Answer

Let the average after 7th inning = x

Then average after 16th inning = x - 3

16(x-3)+87 = 17x

x = 87 - 48 = 39
