Q:

The salaries of A, B, and C are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. The salary of B and C together is Rs. 6000. By what percent is the salary of C more than that of A?

A) 100 %	B) 200%
C) 300%	D) 600%

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 200%

Explanation:

Let the salaries of A, B, C be x, 2x and 3x respectively.

Then,2x + 3x = 6000 => x = 1200.

A's salary = Rs. 1200, B's salary = Rs. 2400, and Cs salary Rs. 3600.
Excess of C's salary over A's=[ (2400 /1200) x 100] = 200%.

Q:

A mixture contains alcohol and water in the ratio 4:3. If 5 liters of water is added to the mixture, the ratio becomes 4:5. Find the quantity of alcohol in the given mixture.

A) 8 Liters	B) 10 Liters
C) 18 Liters	D) 22 Liters

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 10 Liters

Explanation:

Let the quantity of alcohol and water be 4x liters and 3x liters respectively. Then,

=> 20x = 4(3x+5)

=> x = 2.5

Quantity of alcohol = (4 * 2.5) liters = 10 liters.

There is certain numbers of toys in the box. They are divided into such a way that the person who gets 1/4 of the whole gets thrice of what the others get on an average. Find the number of people amongst whom the toys are distributed?

A) 8	B) 10
C) 12	D) 9

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 10

Explanation:

If the person who gets 1/4 of the whole gets thrice of what the others get on an average, each one will get =1/3×1/4=112 of the whole.
Therefore, if there are k persons other than the person who gets one-fourth, then 1/4 + k/12 = 1
⇒ k=9

Hence, total number of people = 10.

Q:

A train travelling at a speed of 75 mph enters a tunnel $3 \frac{1}{2}$ miles long. The train is $\frac{1}{4}$ mile long. How long does it take for the train to pass through the tunnel from the moment the front enters to the moment the rear emerges?

A) 2.5 min	B) 3 min
C) 3.2 min	D) 3.5 min

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3 min

Explanation:

Total distance covered = $(\frac{7}{2} + \frac{1}{4})$ miles = $\frac{15}{4}$ miles

Time taken = $(\frac{15}{4 * 75})$ hrs = $\frac{1}{20}$ hrs = $(\frac{1}{20} * 60) m i n$ = 3 min
