Q:

Mr. X sold two properties P1 and P2 for Rs 1,00,000 each. He sold property P1 for 20% less than what he paid for it. What is the percentage of profit of property P2, so that he is not in gain or loss on the sale of two properties?

A) 33.33%	B) 29.97%
C) 25%	D) 22.22%

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 33.33%

Explanation:

Let 'A' be the cost price of property P1.

Then from the given data, the selling price of P1 = Rs. 1,00,000

He got 20% loss on selling P1

$\Rightarrow A - \frac{20 A}{100} = 100000 \Rightarrow A = 1, 25, 000$

Therefore, the amount he lossed on selling P1 = 25,000

As ge he got no loss or gain on sale of P1 and P2, the gain on selling P2 = 25,000

But the selling price of P2 = 1,00,000 => Cost price of P2 = 75,000

Hence, the profit percentage on P2 = $\frac{Gain}{CP} x 100 = \frac{25000}{75000} x 100 = \frac{100}{3} = 33.33 %$

Q:

The Value of $[\log (\tan (1^{0})) + \log (\tan (2^{0})) + \dots \dots + \log (\tan (89^{0}))]$ is

A) -1	B) 0
C) 1/2	D) 1

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 0

Explanation:

$= [\log \tan (1^{0}) + \log \tan (89^{0})] + [\log \tan (2^{0}) + \log \tan (88^{0})] + \dots \dots + [\log \tan (45^{0})]$

$= \log [\tan (1^{0}) \times \tan (89^{0})] + \log [\tan (2^{0}) \times \tan (88^{0})] + \dots \dots + \log (1)$

$[∵ \tan (90 - θ) = c o t θ a n d \tan (45^{0}) = 1]$

= log 1 + log 1 +.....+log 1

= 0.

Q:

Den Bosch and Eastbourne are two famous cities 300 km apart. Maradona starts from Den Bosch at 8:24 am . An hour later pele starts from Den Bosch. After travelling for 1 hour , Pele reaches Nottingham that Maradona had passed 40 minutes earlier. Nottingham falls on the way from Den Bosch to Eastbourne. If pele and Maradona just reaches Eastbourne at the same time, what are thespeeds of the Maradona and Pele Respectively?

A) 100 km/h , 125 km/h	B) 60 km/h , 80 km/h
C) 60 km/h , 75 km/h	D) 75 km/h , 100 km/h

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 75 km/h , 100 km/h

Explanation:

Let Pele x km in 1 hour. so Maradona takes (2h-40min)=1 h 20 min to cover x km. Let speed of Maradona and Pele be M and P respectively than

x =M x (4/3) and x= P x 1

=> M/P = 3/4

Again $\frac{300}{M} = \frac{300}{P} = 1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{300}{3 k} - \frac{300}{4 k} = 1$

=> k= 25

M= 3k = 75 km/h and P= 4k = 100 km/h

( Through options it is very easy to solve)

Q:

A sum of Rs.1890 has to be used to give 9 prizes to the customers of a super market for their overall academic purchases. If each prize is Rs.30 less than its preceding price, what is the least value of the price ?

A) 90	B) 95
C) 85	D) 80

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 90

Explanation:

Let the least value of the prize = Rs. x

Then the next value of the prize is x+30 , x+60, x+90, ....x+240.

Given total amount of cash prizes = Rs.1890

--> x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + ....+ (x+240) = 1890

--> 9x + (30 + 60 + 90 + 120 + 150 + 180 + 210 + 240) = 1890

--> 9x + 30(1 + 2 + 3 + 4....+ 8) = 1890

--> 9x + 30(36) = 1890

--> 9x = 810 --> x=90

Hence the least value of the prize x=90

A train is moving and crossing a man who is running on a platform of 100 m at a speed of 8 kmph in the direction of the train, in 9 sec. If the speed of the train is 74 kmph. Find the length of the train ?

A) 202 mts	B) 188 mts
C) 165 mts	D) 156 mts

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 165 mts

Explanation:

Let the length of the train = L mts

Relative speed of train and man = 74 - 8 = 66 kmph = 66 x 5/18 m/s

=> 66 x 5/18 = L/9

=> L = 165 mts.

A) P and X	B) P and Z
C) Q and X	D) R and Y

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) R and Y

Q is the son of R but R is not the mother. So, R is the Father of Q. P is married to R

So, P is the wife of R and the mother of Q, X is the daughter of P and hence of R and so she is the Sister of Q, Y is the brother of R and Z is the brother of P.

Clearly. Y is brother of R who is a male. So, Y and R are a pair of brothers
