Q:

A man is riding a bike with front and back wheel circumference of 40 inches and 70 inches respectively. If the man rides the bike on a straight road without slippage, how many inches will the man have travelled when the front wheel has made 15 revolutions more than the back wheel?

A) 1100 B) 1300
C) 1400 D) 1200
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1400

Explanation:

Given the ratio of the circumference of front wheel  is 40 inches and back wheel is 70 inches. 

 

Distance covered = Circumference of the wheel × No. of Revolutions made by the wheel

 

If n is the number of revolutions made by back wheel, the number of revolutions made by front wheel is n+15

 

Distance covered by both the wheels is the same

 

i.e, 40*(n+15)=70n

 

 n=20 

 

 

 

                Front wheel      :      Back Wheel 

 

 Circumference       40      :      70 

 

 Revolutions           35      :      20

 

 

 

Distance covered  :  40×35 = 70×20 = 1400 inches.

Q:

A supplier supplies cartridges to a news paper publishing house. He earns a profit of 25% by selling cartridges for Rs. 1540. Find the cost price of the Cartridges ?

A) Rs. 1100 B) Rs. 1793.4
C) Rs. 1440 D) Rs. 1232
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 1232

Explanation:

Let Cost Price(C.P) = P
gain% = {(S.P-C.P)/C.P} x 100
25 = {(1540-P)/P} x 100
25/100 = (1540-P)/P
=> P = 4(1540)-4P
=> 5P = 4(1540)
=> P = 1232
So, Cost Price = Rs. 1232

Five numbers from among 1 to 100 have to be written on them, one number per card, such that the difference between the numbers on any two adjacent cards is not divisible by 4. The remainder when each of the 5 numbers is divided by 4 is written down on another card (the 6th card) in order. How many sequences can be written down on the 6th card ?

A) 4 x 3^4 B) 3^4
C) 4^3 D) 3 x 4^3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4 x 3^4

Explanation:

The remainder on the first card can be 0,1,2 or 3 i.e 4 possibilities.
The remainder of the number on the next card when divided by 4 can have 3 possible values (except the one occurred earlier).

For each value on the card the remainder can have 3 possible values.

The total number of possible sequences is: 4*3^4
