Q:

Prasanna invested certain amount in three different schemes X, Y and Z with the rate of interest 10% p.a, 12% p.a and 15% p.a respectively. If the total interest accrued in one year was Rs. 3200 and the amount invested in Scheme Z was 150% of the amount invested in Scheme X and 240% of the amount invested in Scheme Y, what was the amount invested in Scheme Y by Prasanna ?

A) Rs.6000	B) Rs.4500
C) Rs.7500	D) Rs.5000

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs.5000

Explanation:

Let a, b and c be the amounts invested in schemes X, Y and Z respectively. Then,

As we know:

Simple interest (S.I.) = PTR/100

(a × 10 × 1/100) + (b × 12 × 1/100) + (c × 15 × 1/100) = 3200

= 10a + 12b + 15c = 320000 .........(1)

Now, c = 240% of b = 12b/5 .........(2)

And, c = 150% of a = 3a/2 => a = 2/3 c = (2 × 12)b/(3 × 5) = 8b/5 .......(3)

From (1), (2) and (3), we have

16b + 12b + 36b = 320000 => 64b = 320000 => b = 5000

∴ Sum invested in Scheme Y = Rs.5000.

Q:

A room contains 3 brown, 5 black and 4 white chairs. Two chairs are picked and are put in the lawn. What is the probability that none of the chairs picked is white ?

A) 14/33	B) 14/55
C) 12/55	D) 13/33

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 14/33

Explanation:

Total number of chairs = (3 + 5 + 4) = 12.

Let S be the sample space.

Then, n(s)= Number of ways of picking 2 chairs out of 12

$=^{12} 12_{2} = \frac{12 \times 11}{2 \times 1} = 66$

Let n(E) = number of events of selecting 2 chairs for selecting no white chairs.

$=^{8} C_{2} = \frac{8 \times 7}{2 \times 1} = 28$

Therefore required probability = 28/66 = 14/33.

Q:

Manideep purchases 30kg of barley at the rate of 11.50/kg and 20kg at the rate of 14.25/kg. He mixed the two and sold the mixture in the shop. At what price per kg should he sell the mixture to make 30% profit to him ?

A) 15.84	B) 14.92
C) 13.98	D) 16.38

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 16.38

Explanation:

Given, Manideep purchases 30kg of barley at the rate of 11.50/kg nad 20kg at the rate of 14.25/kg.

Total cost of the mixture of barley = (30 x 11.50) + (20 x 14.25)

=> Total cost of the mixture = Rs. 630

Total kgs of the mixture = 30 + 20 = 50kg

Cost of mixture/kg = 630/50 = 12.6/kg

To make 30% of profit

=> Selling price for manideep = 12.6 + 30% x 12.6

=> Selling price for manideep = 12.6 + 3.78 = 16.38/kg.

Q:

There are two mixtures of honey and water in which the ratio of honey and water are as 1:3 and 3:1 respectively. Two litres are drawn from first mixture and 3 litres from second mixture, are mixed to form another mixture. What is the ratio of honey and water in it ?

A) 111:108	B) 11:9
C) 103:72	D) None

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 11:9

Explanation:

From the given data,

The part of honey in the first mixture = 1/4

The part of honey in the second mixture = 3/4

Let the part of honey in the third mixture = x

Then,

1/4 3/4

x

(3/4)-x x-(1/4)

Given from mixtures 1 & 2 the ratio of mixture taken out is 2 : 3

=> $\frac{\frac{3}{4} - x}{x - \frac{1}{4}} = \frac{2}{3}$

=> Solving we get the part of honey in the third mixture as 11/20

=> the remaining part of the mixture is water = 9/20

Hence, the ratio of the mixture of honey and water in the third mixture is 11 : 9 .
