Q:

A, B, C subscribe Rs. 50,000 for a business, A Subscribes Rs. 4000 more than B and B Rs. 5000 more thanC. Out of a total profit of Rs. 35,000, A receives :

A) 14700	B) 15000
C) 12000	D) 13500

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 14700

Explanation:

Let C = x. Then, B = x + 5000 and A = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000.

So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000 <=> 3x = 36000 <=>

x = 12000.

A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12.

A's share = Rs. (35000 * 21/50 ) = Rs. 14,700.

Q:

A shopkeeper sells one-third of his goods at a profit of 10%, another one-third at a profit of 20%, and the rest at a loss of 6%.What is his overall profit percentage ?

A) 6%	B) 8%
C) 10%	D) 12%

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8%

Explanation:

Let the shopkeeper buy 300g for Rs.300. Now he sells 100g for Rs.110, another 100g for Rs120, and the rest 100g for Rs94.

Therefore, the total amount he receives = Rs.110 + Rs.120 + Rs.94 = 324.

Therefore, the shopkeeper spends Rs.300 and gets back Rs.324.

Therefore, his profit percentage = $\frac{24}{300} x 100$ % = 8%

Q:

The difference between the length and breadth of a rectangle is 23 m. If its perimeter is 206 m, then its area is:

A) 2520	B) 2420
C) 2320	D) 2620

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2520

Explanation:

We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103.
Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40.
Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) = 2520 sq.m
