Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

The given series follows the rule,
+(5x1), +(5x2), +(5x3), +(5x4), +(5x5),....

So starting from 37, 37 + 5 = 42, 42 + 10 = 52, 52 + 15 = 67, 67 + 20 = 87,...
So wrong number is 47 which is to be 42.

Tota profit percentage = (119 x 100/85) - 100 = 3400/85 = 40% 

Let the speed of current = 'C' km/hr

Given the speed of boat in still water = 6 kmph

Let 'd' kms be the distance it covers.

According to the given data,

Boat takes thrice as much time in going the same distance against the current than going with the current

i.e, d8 - C = 3 × d8 + C

$$\begin{gathered} ⇒ 24 - 3C = 8 + C \\ ⇒ 4C = 16 \\ ⇒ C = 4 kmph \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the speed of the current C = 4 kmph.

The twentieth element in the above arrangement is 'E'.
Then, the sixth element to the left of 'E' is 'L'.

area of the plot = 120m x 60m = 7200 sq.m
area of plot excluding gravel = 117m x 57m = 6669 sq.m
area of gravel = 7200 sq.m - 6669 sq.m = 531 sq.m
cost of building it = 531 sq.m x 65 ps = 34515 ps
In Rs. = 34515/100 = Rs. 345.15.

Work done by P and Q in the first two hours, working alternately

= First hour P + Second hour Q

⇒14+112=13

work is completed in 2 hours

Then, the total time required to complete the work by P and Q working alternately=2 x 3= 6hours

Thus, work will be completed at 3pm.

As the win leads to multiplying the amount by 1.5 and loss leads to multiplying the amount by 0.5, we will multiply the initial amount by 1.5 thrice and by 0.5 thrice (in any order).

The overall resultant will remain same.

So final amount with the person will be (in all cases):

= 64(1.5)(1.5)(1.5)(0.5)(0.5)(0.5)= Rs. 27

Hence the final result is: 

64 − 27 = 37

A loss of Rs.37
