Q:

A large tanker can be filled by two pipes A and B in 60 and 40 minutes respectively. How many minutes will it take to fill the tanker from empty state if B is used for half the time and A and B fill it together for the other half ?

A) 31 min B) 29 min
C) 28 min D) 30 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 30 min

Explanation:

Part filled by (A + B) in 1 minute = (1/60 + 1/40) = 1/24
Suppose the tank is filled in x minutes.
Then, x/2(1/24 + 1/40) = 1
(x/2) * (1/15) = 1 => x = 30 min.

Q:

A man buys an item at Rs. 1200 and sells it at the loss of 20 percent. Then what is the selling price of that item

A) Rs. 660 B) Rs. 760
C) Rs. 860 D) Rs. 960
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 960

Explanation:

Here always remember, when ever x% loss,
it means S.P. = (100 - x)% of C.P
when ever x% profit,
it means S.P. = (100 + x)% of C.P

So here will be (100 - x)% of C.P.
= 80% of 1200
= (80/100) * 1200
= 960
