Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

If the price of the oranges decreases by 10%, the woman would save 10% of the money that is Rs.50 to buy the same amount as before.Now in Rs. 50 she can buy 2 kg more, therefore the current price of 1 kg of oranges is Rs25.Now, this current price is after 10% reduction.

Therefore, the original price =  25/0.9  = Rs. 27.77

    Quantity  X  Rate =  Price

         1  x  1  =  1

       0.7 x 1.25 = 0.875

      Decrease in price = (1-0.875) x 100 = 12.5%

Let the distance be d.

 d8-2-d8+2 = 4

=> 2d = 120 

=> d = 60 kms.

Let initially 'X' ticket has been sold.
So now in 2nd week 20% increases, so
=> X x 120/100
In 3rd week 16% increases, so
=> X x (120/100) x (116/100)
In 4th week 20% decrease, so
=> X x (120/100) x (116/100) x (80/100) = 1392
X = 1250.

Let the speed of the faster train be 'X' kmph,
Then their relative speed= X - 48 kmph
To cross slower train by faster train,
Distance need to be cover = (400 + 600)m = 1 km. and
Time required = 180 sec = 180/3600 hr = 1/20 hr.
Time = Distance/Speed
=> 1/20 = 1/(x-48)
X = 68 kmph

We know that,

1 year = 365 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds.

Then, 1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 seconds.

= 8760 x 3600

1 year = 31536000 seconds.

Hence, 10 years = 31536000 x 10 = 315360000 seconds.

A Committee of 5 persons is to be formed from 6 gentlemen and 4 ladies by taking. 

(i) 1 lady out of 4 and 4 gentlemen out of 6 

(ii) 2 ladies out of 4 and 3 gentlemen out of 6 

(iii) 3 ladies out of 4 and 2 gentlemen out of 6 

(iv) 4 ladies out of 4 and 1 gentlemen out of 6 

In case I the number of ways = C14×C46 = 4 x 15 = 60 

In case II the number of ways = C24×C36 = 6 x 20 = 120 

In case III the number of ways = C34×C26 = 4 x 15 = 60

In case IV the number of ways = C44×C16 = 1 x 6 = 6 

Hence, the required number of ways = 60 + 120 + 60 + 6 = 246

The sum of n natural numbers
