Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

% Profit with respect to A = 40 + 50 + (40 x 50)/100 = 90 + 20 = 110 %.

After day 1, A finishes 1/9 of the work.

After day 2, B finishes 1/7 more of the total work. (1/9) + (1/7) is finished.

After day 3, C finishes 1/5 more of total work. Total finished is 143/315.

So, after day 6, total work finished is 286/315.

Now remaining work =  29 /315

On day 7, A will work again 

Work will be completed on day 7 when A is working. He must finish 29/315 of total remaining work.

Since he takes 9 days to finish the total task, he will need 261/315 of the day. 

Total days required is 6 + (261/315) days.

Speed of the boat upstream = 36/9 = 4 kmph

Speed of the boat in downstream = 36/6 = 6 kmph

Speed of stream = 6-4/2 = 1 kmph

In the question it is asked for 5% of 1500

5 x 1500/100 = 15 x 5 = 75.

Hence, 5% of 1,500 is equal to 75.

There are 12 - 3 = 9 patients.They can be seen in 12P9 = 79833600 ways

25 Jan, 1981 = (1980 years + Period from 1.1.1981 to 25.1.1981)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 300 years = 1

80 years = (60 ordinary years + 20 leap year) = (60 x 1 + 20 x 2)= 2 odd days

Jan = 25 days = (3 weeks + 4 days) = 4 odd days.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 4) = 7= 0 odd day.

Given day is Sunday.

According to the given data,

Let Cost price of the article be 'cp'

Then,

102.25 cp - 92 cp = 164 x 100

10.25 cp = 16400

cp = 1600

Now, if he sells at Rs. 1760

Profit = 1760 - 1600 = 160

Profit% = 160/1600 x 100 = 10%.
