1. 161.52% 2. 195.5% 3. 182% 4. 190% 5. 171.42%

Answer

1. Answer : 1

Explanation : Quantity of Guava at Shop A = $1200 \times \frac{10}{100}$ = 120 kg

Quantity of Guava at Shop B = $1000 \times \frac{16}{100}$ = 160 kg

Therefore, Required difference = 160 - 120 = 40 kg

2. Answer : 2

Explanation : Cost of Mango at Shop A = $30 \times 1200 \times \frac{24}{100}$ = Rs. 8640

Cost of Apple = $40 \times 1200 \times \frac{16}{100}$ = Rs. 7680

Cost of Orange = $20 \times 1200 \times \frac{20}{100}$ = Rs.4800

Therefore, Required Ratio = 8640 : 6780 : 4800 = 9 : 8 : 5

3. Answer : 3

Explanation : Quantity of Mango at Shop B = $1000 \times \frac{24}{100}$ = 240 kg

Quantity of Mango at Shop A = $1200 \times \frac{24}{100}$ = 288 kg

Therefore, Req % = $288 \times \frac{100}{240}$ = 120% of the quantity of Mango at Shop A

4. Answer : 4

Explanation : Cost of total fruits at Shop A = Cost of Mango + Cost of Apple + Cost of Guava + Cost of orange + Cost of other fruits

= $1200 \times \frac{24}{100} \times 30 + 1200 \times \frac{16}{100} \times 40 + 1200 \times \frac{10}{100} \times 18 + 1200 \times \frac{20}{100} \times 20 + 1200 \times \frac{30}{100} \times 15$

= Rs. 28680

Cost of Total Fruits at Shop B

= $1000 \times \frac{24}{100} \times 30 + 1000 \times \frac{14}{100} \times 40 + 1000 \times \frac{16}{100} \times 18 + 1000 \times \frac{20}{100} \times 20 + 1000 \times \frac{26}{100} \times 15$

= 7200 + 5600 + 2880 + 4000 + 3900

= Rs. 23580

Therefore, Req.difference = 28680 - 23580 = Rs.5100

5. Answer : 5

Explanation: Quantity of Orange at Shop A = $1200 \times \frac{20}{100}$ = 240 kg

Quantity of Apple at Shop B = $1000 \times \frac{14}{100}$ = 140 kg

Therefore, Req % = $\frac{240 \times 100}{140}$ = 171.42% more than the quantity of Apple at Shop B.

A can do a work in 24 days. B is 20% more efficient than A. If C can do the work in 10 more days than B, find the time taken by A and C together to complete the work.

A) 43/3 days	B) 40/3 days
C) 50/3 days	D) 41/2 days

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 40/3 days

A takes 24 days to complete a work.
B is 20% more efficient than A,
hence B will take (24*100)/120 = 20 days.
C takes (20+10) = 30 days.
Time taken by A & C in completing the work = (24*30)/(24+30) = (24*30)/54 = 40/3 days.
