A) 4/3 hrs B) 2/3 hrs
C) 3/2 hrs D) 1/4 hrs

Let the original speed and time is S and T
then distance = S x T
Now the speed changes to 2/3S and T is T+20
As the distance is same
S x T = 2/3Sx(T+20)
solving this we get t = 40 minutes
=40/60 = 2/3 hour

Q:

Pipe K fills a tank in 30 minutes. Pipe L can fill the same tank 5 times as fast as pipe K. If both the pipes were kept open when the tank is empty, how much time will it take for the tank to overflow ?

A) 3 minutes B) 2 minutes
C) 4 minutes D) 5 minutes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 5 minutes

Explanation:

Let the total capacity of tank be 90 liters.
Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by K = 3 liters.
Capacity of tank filled in 1 minute by L = 15 liters.
Therefore, capacity of the tank filled by both K and L in 1 minute = 18 liters.
Hence, time taken by both the pipes to overflow the tank = 90/18 = 5 minutes.

Q:

A bill for Rs. 6000 is drawn on July 14 at 5 months. It is discounted on 5th October at 10%. Find the banker's discount, true discount, banker's gain and the money that the holder of the bill receives.

A) 4390 B) 6580
C) 5880 D) 5350
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5880

Explanation:

Face value of the bill = Rs. 6000.

Date on which the bill was drawn = July 14 at 5 months. Nominally due date =                  December 14.

Legally due date = December 17.

Date on which the bill was discounted = October 5.

Unexpired time  : Oct.               Nov.                Dec.

                                 26  +               30  +              17     = 73 days  =1/ 5Years

 

 B.D. = S.I. on Rs. 6000 for 1/5 year

= Rs.   (6000 x 10 x1/5 x1/100)= Rs. 120.

T.D. = Rs.[(6000 x 10 x1/5)/(100+(10*1/5))]

            =Rs.(12000/102)=Rs. 117.64.

B.G. = (B.D.) - (T.D.) = Rs. (120 - 117.64) = Rs. 2.36.

Money received by the holder of the bill = Rs. (6000 - 120) = Rs. 5880.
