Q:

A man covered a certain distance at some speed. Had he moved 3 kmph faster, he would have taken 40 minutes less. If he had moved 2 kmph slower, he would have taken 40 minutes more. The distance (in km) is 

A) 30 B) 36
C) 40 D) 42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40

Explanation:

Let distance = x km and usual rate = y kmph.
Then, x/y - x/(y+3) = 40/60 --> 2y (y+3) = 9x ----- (i)
Also, x/(y-2) - x/y = 40/60 --> y(y-2) = 3x -------- (ii)
On dividing (i) by (ii), we get:

x = 40 km.

Q:

The interest on Rs.750 for 2yrs is the same as the True Discount on Rs.960 due 2yrs hence . If the rate of interest is same in both cases,it is:

A) 12% B) 14%
C) 15% D) 16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 14%

Explanation:

S.I on Rs.750= T.D on Rs. 960 

This means P.W of Rs. 960 due 2 years hence is Rs.750 

Therefore , T.D= Rs. (960 - 750) = Rs. 210 

Thus, S.I on Rs. 750 for 2 years is Rs. 210 

Rate =[ (100 x 210) / (750 x 2) ] % = 14%

Q:

Rajan's present age is three times his daughter's and nine-thirteenth of his mother's present age. The sum of the present ages of all three of them is 125 years. What is the difference between the present ages of Rajan's daughter and Rajan's mather ?

A) 32 years B) 48 years
C) 62 years D) 50 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 years

Explanation:

Let Rajan's present age be 'x' years.
=> Then his daughter's present age is = x/3 years.
His mother's present age = 13x/9 years
Now, according to the question,
x + x/3 + 13x/9 = 125
=> x = 125x9/25 = 45
Therefore, required difference = 13x/9 - x/3 = 13x - 3x/9 = 10x/9
=> 10 x 45/9 = 50 years.

A) 10 lit B) 6 lit
C) 16 lit D) 12 lit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 lit

Explanation:

Given ratio of initial mixture of milk and water in Q = 5 : 3

Let the initial quantity of mixture in vessel Q = 8x

Let quantity of Milk = 5x and

Let quantity of water = 3x

According to the question,

5x + 10 x 353x + 10 x 25  = 85

=> 25x + 30 = 24x + 32

=> x = 2

Required Initial quantity of milk = 5x = 5 x 2 = 10 lit.
