Q:

A sum of Rs.118 was divided among 50 boys and girls such that each boy received Rs.2.60 and each girl Rs.1.80. Find the number of boys and girls ?

Answer

Average money received by each = 118/50 = Rs. 2.36

Therefore, Ratio of No.of boys and girls = 56 : 24 = 7 : 3

Therefore, Number of boys = 50 x (7/10) = 35

Number of girls = 50 - 35 = 15

Q:

How many liters of oil at Rs.40 per liter should be mixed with 240 liters of a second variety of oil at Rs.60 per liter so as to get a maximum whose cost is Rs.52 per liter ?

Answer

Apply Allegation Method and first calculate the ratio in which they have to be mixed.

= 8 : 12 = 2 : 3

Thus, the two varieties of oil should be mixed in the ratio 2 : 3. So, if 240 liters of the second variety are taken, then 160 liters of the first variety should be taken.

1. By how much do the borrowings of Company B exceed that of Company A ?

1. Rs. 1,210,000 2. Rs.1,320,000 3. Rs.1,000,000 4. Rs.1,100,000

2. By how much does the dividend paid by Company D exceed the dividend paid by Company B ?

1. Rs.23 lakh 2. Rs.32 lakh 3. Rs.320 lakh 4. Rs.230 lakh

3. The profit of E is more/less than that of C by _____ %

4. What is the sum of profits made by Companies A and B ?

1. Rs.500 lakh 2. Rs.600 lakh 3. Rs.700 lakh 4. Rs.800 lakh

5. What is the sum of the borrowings of all five companies ?

1. Rs.146 lakh 2. Rs.14.6 lakh 3. Rs.14.6 crore 4. None of these

Answer

1. Answer : 4

Explanation : Let the borrowing of Company A = x

Interest of Company A = 234000

Rate of Interest = 18%

$∴ x \times \frac{18}{100} = 234000 \Rightarrow x = 1300000$

Let the borrowing of Company B = y

Interest of Company B = 576000

Rate of interest = 24%

$∴ y \times \frac{24}{100} = 576000 \Rightarrow y = 2400000$

Required difference = y - x = 2400000 - 1300000 = Rs. 1100000

2. Answer : 2

Explanation :

Let the profit of Comapny B = 100%

Dividend Payout ratio(%) of B = 19.60

Remaining percent i.e retained earning = 100 - 19.60 = 80.4%

According to question, 80.4% = Rs.402 lakh

100% = Rs.500 lakh

Therefore, Total dividend paid by Company B = 500 - 402 = Rs. 98 lakh

Let the profit of company D = 100%

Dividend payout ratio (%) of D = 32.50

Remaining percent i.e retained earning = 100 - 32.50 = 67.5%

According to question, 67.5% = Rs. 270 lakh

100% = Rs. 400 lakh

Therefore, Total dividend paid by company D = 400 - 270 = Rs. 130 lakh

Required difference = 130 - 98 = Rs. 32 lakh

3. Answer : 3

Explanation :

Let the profit of Company C = 100%

Dividend payout ratio of C = 8.75%

Remaining percent i.e, retained earning = 100 - 8.75 = 91.25

According to question, 91.25% = Rs. 365 lakh

100% = Rs. 400 lakh

Therefore, Profit of C = Rs. 400 lakh

Let the profit of company E = 100%

Dividend payout ratio of E = 28%

Remaining percent i.e retained earning = 100 - 28 = 72%

According to question, 72% = Rs.216 lakh

100% = Rs.300 lakh

Therefore, Profit of E = Rs. 300 lakh

Required percentage = $\frac{100}{400} \times 100$ = 25% less

4. Answer : 3

Explanation :

Profit made by company A = Rs. 200 lakh

Profit made by company B = Rs. 500 lakh

Required Sum = 200 + 500 = Rs. 700 lakh

5. Answer : 4

Explanation :

Required Sum = 1300000 + 2400000 + 810000 + 1600000 + 1200000 = 7310000 = Rs. 73.1 lakh

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 %
