Q:

Two trains are running in opposite directions in the same speed. The length of each train is 120 meter. If they cross each other in 12 seconds, the speed of each train (in km/hr) is

A) 42 B) 36
C) 28 D) 20
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 36

Explanation:

Distance covered = 120+120 = 240 m

Time = 12 s

Let the speed of each train = v. Then relative speed = v + v = 2v

2v = distance/time = 240/12 = 20 m/s

Speed of each train = v = 20/2 = 10 m/s

= 10 × 36/10 km/hr = 36 km/hr

Q:

A Shopkeeper sells two articles at Rs.1000 each, making a profit of 20% on the first article and a loss of 20% on the second article. Find the net Profit or loss that he makes? 

A) 4% B) 5%
C) 6% D) 8%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4%

Explanation:

SP of first article = Rs.1000

 

Profit = 20%

 CP = SP x 100100+P% = Rs. 25003

SP of Second Article = Rs.1000

 Loss = 20%

 CP = SP x 100100-L% = Rs. 1250

 

So, Total SP = Rs.2000; Total CP = Rs.6250/3

 

As the CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.

 

Loss = CP - SP = (6250/3) - 2000 = Rs.(250/3)

 

So, Loss Percent = Lossx100/CP = 4%

C) 8/18 D) 7/35

Clearly, n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36
Let E be the event that the sum of the numbers on the two faces is divided by 4 or 6.
Then,E = {(1,3),(1,5),(2,2),(2,4),(2,6),(3,1),(3,3),(3,5),(4,2),(4,4),(5,1),(5,3),(6,2),(6,6)}
n(E) = 14.
Hence, P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 14/36 = 7/18
