6 pumps of kirlosker can fill a tank in 7 days and 2 similar pumps of USHA can fill the same tank in 18 days. what is the ratio of the efficiency of a kirlosker pump and a USHA pump?

A) 6:7	B) 7:6

The number of days required by a single kirlosker pump to fill the tank = 6 x 7 =42 days and the number of days required by a single USHA pump to fill the same tank = 2 x 18 =36 days.

Now , since efficiency is inversely proportional to the number of days. Hence,

$\frac{E f f i c i e n c y o f o n e K - p u m p}{E f f i c i e n c y o f U - p u m p} = \frac{36}{42} = \frac{6}{7}$

Q:

K and L start the business, with L investing the total capital of Rs. 40,000 on the condition that K pays L interest @ 8% per annum on his half of the capital. L is a working partner and receives Rs.1200 per month from the total profit and any profit reamaining is equally shared by both of them. At the end of the year, it was found that the income of L is twice that of K. Find the total profit for the year ?

A) Rs.44000	B) Rs.46400
C) Rs.480800	D) Rs.46000

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.46400

Explanation:

Interest received by L from K = 8% of half of Rs.40,000

$\Rightarrow \frac{8}{100} \times 20000 = 1600$

Amount received by L per annum for being a working partner = 1200 x 12 = Rs.14,400

Let 'A' be the part of remaing profit that 'L' receives as his share.

Total income of 'K' = only his share from the reamaing profit

= 'A', as both share equally.

Given income of L = Twice the income of K

--> (1600 + 14400 + A ) = 2A

--> A= Rs.16000

Thus total profit = 2A + Rs.14,400= 2(16000) + 14400

= 32000 +14400 = Rs.46,400.

Q:

The bankers discount and the true discount of a sum at 10% per annum simple interest for the same time are Rs.100 and Rs.80 respectively. What is the sum and the time?

A) Sum = Rs.400 and Time = 5 years	B) Sum = Rs.200 and Time = 2.5 years
C) Sum = Rs.400 and Time = 2.5 years	D) Sum = Rs.200 and Time = 5 years

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Sum = Rs.400 and Time = 2.5 years

Explanation:

BD = Rs.100

TD = Rs.80

R = 10%

$F = \frac{B D \times T D}{B D - T D} = \frac{100 \times 80}{100 - 80} = R s . 400$

BD = Simple interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time= FTR/100

$\Rightarrow 100 = \frac{400 \times T \times 10}{100}$

=> T = 2.5 years
