In an objective competitive exam, a correct answer score 4 marks and on a wrong answer 2 marks are negatively added. A student scores 420 marks from 150 question. How many answers were correct ?

A) 145 B) 138
C) 125 D) 120
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 120

Explanation:

let x be the correct answer and y be the wrong answer
so the total number of questions is (x + y) = 150.....(1)
=> 4x - 2y = 420.....(2)
By solving (1) & (2), we get
=> 6x = 720
hence x = 120

Q:

Sripad has scored average of 65 marks in three objects. In no subjects has he secured less than 58 marks. He has secured more marks in Maths than other two subjects. What could be his maximum score in Maths ?

A) 79 B) 77
C) 76 D) 73
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 79

Explanation:

Assuming Sripad has scored the least marks in subject other than science,
Then the marks he could secure in other two are 58 each.
Since the average mark of all the 3 subject is 65.
i.e (58+58+x)/3 = 65
116 + x = 195
x = 79 marks.

Therefore, the maximum marks he can score in maths is 79.

Q:

Two boys and a girl can do a work in 5 days, while a boy and 2 girls can do it in 6 days. If the boy is paid at the rate of 28$ a week, what should be the wages of the girl a week ?

A) 24 $ B) 22 $
C) 16 $ D) 14 $
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16 $

Explanation:

Let the 1 day work of a boy=b and a girl=g, then
2b + g = 1/5 ---(i) and
b + 2g = 1/6 ---(ii)
On solving (i) & (ii), b=7/90, g=2/45
As payment of work will be in proportion to capacity of work and a boy is paid $ 28/week,
so a girl will be paid 28×245790 = 16 $.

Q:

A man sell 35 waffers for Rs. 15 each and loses Rs. 40.4. If he sells 35 waffers for Rs. 18, how much does he loss or gain ?

A) Rs. 64 B) Rs. 52
C) Rs. 72 D) Rs. 55
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 64

Explanation:

Given Loss = Rs. 40.4
We know loss = cost price - selling price
40.4 = CP - 35(15)
=> CP = 40.4 + 525
=> CP = Rs. 565.4
Now the New selling price of waffer is Rs. 18
=> SP = 35(18) = 630
Now Gain = SP - CP = 630 -565.4 = Rs. 64.6.
