Q:

From 5 consonants and 4 vowels, how many words can be formed using 3 consonants and 2 vowels ?

A) 7600 B) 7200
C) 6400 D) 3600
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7200

Explanation:

From 5 consonants, 3 consonants can be selected in 5C3 ways.

 

From 4 vowels, 2 vowels can be selected in 4C2 ways.

 

Now with every selection, number of ways of arranging 5 letters is 5P5ways.

 

Total number of words = 5C3*4C2*5P5

 

                                = 10x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1= 7200

Q:

"I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are", said a man to his son. Find out their present ages, if the sum of their ages is 64 years ?

A) Father = 50; Son =14 B) Father = 40; Son =24
C) Father = 60; Son =4 D) Father = 48; Son =16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Father = 40; Son =24

Explanation:

Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',
Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)
Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",
So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]
We get 6P = 10Q,
Substitute value for Q,
6P = 10(64 - P),
Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.

Q:

The average of six numbers is 3.95. The average of two of them is 3.4, while the average of the other two is 3.85. What is the average of the remaining two numbers ?

A) 3.6 B) 4.6
C) 6.5 D) 7.3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4.6

Explanation:

 Sum of the remaining two numbers = (3.95 * 6) - [(3.4 * 2) + (3.85 * 2)]

                                                   = 23.70 - (6.8 + 7.7) = 23.70 - 14.5 = 9.20.

Required average = (9.2 / 2) =  4.6.

Q:

The average price of 10 books is Rs. 12 while the average price of 8 of these books is Rs. 11.75. Of the remaining two books, if the price of one book is 60% more than the price of the other, what ia the pice of each of these two books ?

A) 16,12 B) 10,16
C) 23,9 D) 8,7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 10,16

Explanation:

Total pice of the two books = Rs. [(12 x 10) - (11.75 x 8)]

 

                                          = Rs. (120 - 94) = Rs. 26.

 

let the price of one book be Rs. x

 

Then, the price of other book = Rs. (x + 60% of x) = Rs.(x+(3/5)x) = Rs. (8/5)x

 

So,  x+(8/5)x =26 <=> x =10

 

The prices of the two books are Rs. 10 and Rs. 16

A) 3.27 % loss B) 4.15 % loss
C) 3.27 % gain D) 4.15 % gain
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3.27 % gain

Explanation:

Let cp= 100,
35 % increase in sp=135
10 % discount in 135((135*10)/100)=13.5
so 1st sp=(135-13.5)=121.5, again 15 % discount in 1st sp((121.5*15)/100)=18.225
2nd sp=(121.5-18.225)=103.275,

so finally cp=100,sp=103.275 ,gain by 3.27%
