Required Time after 18 hrs = 13:45 + 18 hrs = 7:45 AM.

Hence it is 7:45 AM on the next morning.

Q:

Rs. 5887 is divided between Shyam and Ram, such that Shyam's share at the end of 9 years is equal to Ram's share at the end of 11 years, compounded annually at the rate of 5%. Find the share of Shyam.

A) 3567	B) 3452
C) 3087	D) 3544

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3087

Explanation:

Shyam's share * (1+0.05)9 = Ram's share * (1 + 0.05)11

Shyam's share / Ram's share = (1 + 0.05)11 / (1+ 0.05)9 = (1+ 0.05)2 = 441/400

Therefore Shyam's share = (441/841) * 5887 = 3087

Q:

If the arithmetic mean of seventy-five numbers is calculated, it is 35. if each number is increased by 5, then mean of new numbers is :

A) 30	B) 40
C) 50	D) 60

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40

Explanation:

Let the numbers are $x_{1,} x_{2,} . . . . . . . x_{75}$

By Hypothesis , $\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} + . . . . x_{75}}{75} = 35$ ......(i)

Mean of new numbers = $\frac{(x_{1} + 5) + (x_{2} + 5) + . . . . . . . (x_{75} + 5)}{75}$

$\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} + . . . . . . x_{75} + 5 * 75}{75}$

$\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} + . . . . . . x_{75}}{75} + \frac{375}{75} = 35 + 5 = 40$ By (i)
