Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Average =   (76 + 65 + 82 + 67 + 85 )/ 5 = 375/5   =  75.

On straight line means 180 degree angle.
180 = 11/2 min – 30 hrs
180 = 11/2 m – 30 × 3
180 = 11/2 m – 90
(180 + 90) 2 = 11 m
m = 540/11 = 49 1/11 minutes.

9M + 12B ----- 12 days ...........(1)
12M + 12B ------- 10 days........(2)
10M + 10B -------?
108M + 144B = 120M +120B
24B = 12M => 1M = 2B............(3)

From (1) & (3)

18B + 12B = 30B ---- 12 days

20B + 10B = 30B -----? => 12 days.

Let the total profit be Rs. x

Amount paid to B as salary = (120 x 12)

                                       = Rs.1440

Share of each = 

Interest paid by B = 

Total money received by  A = 

                                       = Rs.

Total money received by B

W1:A1 W2:A2 ..... WN:AN

  2 : 3                   4 : 5                    5 : 7 

W1W1+A1 = 25 W2W2+A2=49 WNWN+AN = 512

= 72/180

= 80/180

= 75/180  

 =>     5   :   3

Therefore, the ratio is  5: 3

The toys are different; The boxes are identical 

If none of the boxes is to remain empty, then we can pack the toys in one of the following ways 

a. 2, 2, 1 

b. 3, 1, 1 

Case a. Number of ways of achieving the first option 2 - 2 - 1 

Two toys out of the 5 can be selected in 5C2 ways. Another 2 out of the remaining 3 can be selected in 3C2 ways and the last toy can be selected in 1C1 way. 

However, as the boxes are identical, the two different ways of selecting which box holds the first two toys and which one holds the second set of two toys will look the same. Hence, we need to divide the result by 2 

Therefore, total number of ways of achieving the 2 - 2 - 1 option is ways 5C2*3C2= 15 ways

Case b. Number of ways of achieving the second option 3 - 1 - 1

Three toys out of the 5 can be selected in 5C3 ways. As the boxes are identical, the remaining two toys can go into the two identical looking boxes in only one way.

Therefore, total number of ways of getting the 3 - 1 - 1 option is 5C3 = 10 = 10 ways.

Total ways in which the 5 toys can be packed in 3 identical boxes

= number of ways of achieving Case a + number of ways of achieving Case b= 15 + 10 = 25 ways.

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 100 : 130 = 10 : 13.
Suppose B takes x days to do the work.

Then, 10 : 13 :: 23 : x     =>     x = ( 23 x 13/10 )     =>     x = 299 /10.

A's 1 day's work = 1/23 ;
B's 1 day's work = 10/299 .

(A + B)'s 1 day's work = ( 1/23 + 10/299 ) = 23/299 = 113 .

Therefore, A and B together can complete the work in 13 days.
