Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Suppose the merchant will take advantage of the cash discount of 4% of $20 000 = $800 by paying the bill within 30 days from the date of invoice. He needs to borrow $20 000 = $800 = $19 200. He would borrow this money on day 30 and repay it on day 100 (the day the original invoice is due) resulting in a 70-day loan. The interest he should be willing to pay on borrowed money should not exceed the cash discount $800.

r=I/pt=21.73%

The highest simple interest rate at which the merchant can afford to borrow money is 21.73%. This is a break-even rate. If he can borrow money, say at a rate of 15%, he should do so. He would borrow $19 200 for 70 days at 15%. Maturity value of the loan is $19 200(1+0.15(70/365))=$19 752.33

savings would be $20 000 − $19 752.33 = $247.67

In two throws of a die, n(s)=(6 x 6)=36

let E= Event of geting a sum 9={(3,6),(4,5),(5,4),(6,3)}

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 4/36 = 1/9

7-n = 5

Number of holidays = 2

The ratio of money she lended is

24000 : 16000 = 3 : 2

Let the rate of interest be R%

8%                   R%
     

           10

3          :           2

R = 13%.

-10+10-10*10100 % = -1%

 Decrease in revenue = 1%

Let initial quantity of milk & water in the mixture are 5x & 4x
2 litres water is added.
Hence,
New quantity of milk & water will be 5x & (4x+2)
ATQ,
5x/(4x+2) = 10/9
x/(4x+2) = 2/9 9x = 8x + 4
x=4
Hence,
New amount of water in the mixture = 4x+2 = (4*4) + 2 = 18 litres.

Given Dileep and Narender started a business.

Dileep invested 8000 for 12 months

Let Narender invested 'p' for 6 months

At the end of the year, their profit ratio is 1 : 1.

Hence,

8000 x 12 : p x 6

p : 16000

p/16000 = 1/1

=> p = 16,000

Hence, Narender invested amount is Rs. 16,000.

we know that speed = distance traveled/time taken
let the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.
then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60 hour.
and for second half is x/40 hour.
Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken.

i.e. 2xx60+x40

=> 2x5x120

= 48 kmph.
