Q:

The banker's discount on Rs. 1650 due a certain time hence is Rs. 165. Find the true discount and the banker's gain.

A) 15 B) 20
C) 18 D) 13
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 15

Explanation:

   Sum = [(B.D.xT.D.)/ (B.D.-T.D.)]

              = [(B.D.xT.D.)/B.G.]

T.D./B.G.  = Sum/ B.D.

   =1650/165

               =10

Thus, if B.G. is Re 1, T.D. = Rs. 10.

If B.D.is Rs. ll, T.D.=Rs. 10.

If B.D. is Rs. 165, T.D. = Rs. [(10/11)xl65]

            =Rs.150

 And, B.G. = Rs. (165 - 150) = Rs, 15.

1. 1 : 3             2. 3 : 1             3. 2 : 1             4. 1 : 2


2. Between how many pairs of consecutive stations does the speed run below the overall average speed of the entire trip?

1. 2                     2. 1                    3. 3                     4. 4


3. If the train stops at each city for 50% more time than what it is at present, then at what time will it arrive at city H after departing from city A as per schedule ?

1. 20.16             2. 19.02             3. 18.51             4. 18.59


4. The overall average speed of the entire trip excluding stoppage time is nearly :

1. 75 km/h        2. 81 km/h        3. 46 km/h        4. 65 km/hr

Answer

1. Answer : 4


Explanation : Required ratio = 10+2+510+15+10=1735≈12=1:2 


 


2. Answer : 1


Explanation : 


A to B Speed =140×35  = 84  


B to C Speed = 91×34 = 68.25 


C to D Speed = 149×60103 = 86.796  


D to E Speed = 88×34 = 66  


E to F Speed =  106×45= 84.8  


F to G Speed = 1762 = 88  


G to h Speed =  110×45= 88  


Average speed of entire trip = 84+68.25+86.796+66+84.8+88+887 =80.83 


 


3. Answer : 3 


Explanation :  Total half time = 10 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 15 + 10 = 52 


Total half time, if the train stops at each city for 50% more=52×150100=78 


Train will arrive at city H after departing from city A = 18.25 + (78 - 52 )=18.25 + 26=18.51


 


4. Answer : 2 


 Explanation : Average speed = 84+68.25+86.796+66+84.8+88+887=80.83=81 km/hr


 


5. Answer : 1 


Explanation :  Required percentage of time = 1.40+1.20+1.43+1.20+1.15+2+1.1518.25-7×100= 10.2311.25×100 = 91.8 %

Q:

The mean of 100 observations is 40. It is found that an observation 84 was misread as 48. Then the correct mean is ?

A) 40.36 B) 41.24
C) 41.92 D) 42.05
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 40.36

Explanation:

Given,

mean of 100 observations is 40

=> Total of 100 observations = 40 x 100 = 4000

84 is misread as 48

=> Difference = 84 - 48 = 36

=> Now, new total of 100 observations = 4000 + 36 = 4036

Correct Mean = 4036/100 = 40.36
