Q:

At a casino in mumbai, there are three tables A, B and C. The payoffs at A is 10:1, at B is 20:1 and at C is 30:1. If a man bets Rs 200 at each table and win at two of the tables, what is the maximum and minimum difference between his earnings can be?

A) Rs.2500 B) Rs.2000
C) Rs.4000 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.4000

Explanation:

Maximum earning will be only when he will won on the maximum yielding table.

     A ----> 10:1

     B ----> 20:1

     C ----> 30:1

 i.e, he won on B and C but lost on A

 20 x 200 + 30 x 200 -1 x 200 = 9800

 minimum earning will be when he won on  table A and B and lose on that table 3.

 

Therefore, 10 x 200 + 20 x 200 - 1 x 200  =  6000-200 = 5800

Therefore, Difference= 9800 - 5800 = 4000

Q:

Find the C.I. on Rs. 15,225 for 9 months at 16% per annum compounded quarterly ?

A) Rs. 1911 B) Rs. 1909
C) Rs. 1901 D) Rs. 1907
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 1901

Explanation:

P = Rs. 15225, n = 9 months = 3 quarters, R = 16% p.a. per quarter.

 

Amount = 15225x1+41003

 

= (15225 x 26/25 x 26/25 x 26/25) = Rs. 17126.05

 

=> C.I. = 17126 - 15625 = Rs. 1901.05.

Q:

Two boys are playing on a ground. Both the boys are less than 10 years old. Age of the younger boy is equal to the cube root of the product of the age of the two boys. If we place the digit representing the age of the younger boy to the left of the digit representing the age of the elder boy, we get the age of the father of the younger boy. Similarly, we place the digit representing the age of the elder boy to the left of the digit representing the age of the younger boy and divide the figure by 2, we get the age of the mother of the younger boy. The mother of the younger boy is younger than his father by 3 years. Then, what are the ages of elder and younger boys ?

A) E = 15 & Y = 3 B) E = 14 & Y = 12
C) E = 40 & Y = 22 D) E = 4 & Y = 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) E = 4 & Y = 2

Explanation:

Let the the age of the elder boy = E

 

Let the the age of the younger boy = Y

 

Given that Y = cube root of EY

 


=> Y3 = EY => E = Y2 .....(1)
By the condition of number replacement the age of the father is YE

 

The Mother's age = EY/2

 

But she is 3 years less than father => EY/2 + 3 = YE
2YE = EY + 6 ......(2)

 

Then now from the given options we can identify which satisfies the all the conditions.

 

Here Y =2 and E = 4 satisfies all the conditions.
