Q:

A trader mixes 36 kg of rice at Rs. 20 per kg with 14 kg of rice of other variety at Rs. 36 per kg and sells the mixture at Rs. 30 per kg. His profit percent is:

A) 25%	B) 21.14%
C) 22.54%	D) 27.32%

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 22.54%

Explanation:

C.P. of 50 kg rice = Rs. (36 x 20 + 14 x 36) = Rs. (720 + 504) = Rs.1224.

S.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (50 x 30) = Rs.1500.

Profit = 1500 - 1224 = Rs.276

Profit % = $\frac{P r o f i t}{C . P} \times 100$ = $\frac{276}{1224} \times 100$ = 22.54%.

The spaces P, Q and R have to be shaded by three different colours definitely (since each of these three spaces lies adjacent to the other two).
Now, in order that no two adjacent spaces be shaded by the same colour, the spaces T, U and S must be shaded with the colours of the spaces P, Q and R respectively.
Also the spaces X, V and W must be shaded with the colours of the spaces S, T and U respectively i.e. with the colours of the spaces R, P and Q respectively. Thus, minimum three colour pencils are required.

Q:

K and L start the business, with L investing the total capital of Rs. 40,000 on the condition that K pays L interest @ 8% per annum on his half of the capital. L is a working partner and receives Rs.1200 per month from the total profit and any profit reamaining is equally shared by both of them. At the end of the year, it was found that the income of L is twice that of K. Find the total profit for the year ?

A) Rs.44000	B) Rs.46400
C) Rs.480800	D) Rs.46000

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.46400

Explanation:

Interest received by L from K = 8% of half of Rs.40,000

$\Rightarrow \frac{8}{100} \times 20000 = 1600$

Amount received by L per annum for being a working partner = 1200 x 12 = Rs.14,400

Let 'A' be the part of remaing profit that 'L' receives as his share.

Total income of 'K' = only his share from the reamaing profit

= 'A', as both share equally.

Given income of L = Twice the income of K

--> (1600 + 14400 + A ) = 2A

--> A= Rs.16000

Thus total profit = 2A + Rs.14,400= 2(16000) + 14400

= 32000 +14400 = Rs.46,400.

Q:

A man is riding a bike with front and back wheel circumference of 40 inches and 70 inches respectively. If the man rides the bike on a straight road without slippage, how many inches will the man have travelled when the front wheel has made 15 revolutions more than the back wheel?

A) 1100	B) 1300
C) 1400	D) 1200

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1400

Explanation:

Given the ratio of the circumference of front wheel is 40 inches and back wheel is 70 inches.

Distance covered = Circumference of the wheel × No. of Revolutions made by the wheel

If n is the number of revolutions made by back wheel, the number of revolutions made by front wheel is n+15

Distance covered by both the wheels is the same

i.e, 40*(n+15)=70n

n=20

Front wheel : Back Wheel

Circumference 40 : 70

Revolutions 35 : 20

Distance covered : 40×35 = 70×20 = 1400 inches.
