Q:

A man borrowed Rs 24000 from two money lenders. For one loan, he paid 15% per annum and for the other 18% per annum. At the end of one year, he paid Rs 4050. How much did he borrow at each rate ?

A) Rs.16000 B) Rs.12000
C) Rs.15000 D) Rs.13000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.15000

Explanation:

Let the sum at 15% be Rs x and that at 18% be Rs (24000 - x).

{(x * 15 * 1)/100 } + { [(24000 – x) * 18 * 1]/100 } = 4050

or 15 x + 432000 - 18x = 405000 or x = 9000.

Money borrowed at 15% = Rs 9000 .

Money borrowed at 18% = Rs 15000.

Q:

In some quantity of ghee, 60% is pure ghee and 40% is vanaspati. If 10 kg of pure ghee is added, then the strength of vanaspati ghee becomes 20%. The original quantity was : 

A) 10 kg B) 15 kg
C) 20 kg D) 25 kg
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 kg

Explanation:

Let the original quantity be x kg. Vanaspati ghee in x kg  =  (40x / 100 )kg = (2x / 5) kg. 

Now, (2x/5)/(x + 10) = 20/100

=> 2x / (5x + 50) = 1/5 

=> 5x = 50 

=> x = 10.
