Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

Let the profit be Rs. p

Then Cost price of the bag = 340p/100 = 3.4p

According to question,

3.4p + p = 1540

4.4p = 1540

p = 1540/4.4

p = 350

The profit p = Rs, 350

Hence, The cost price of the bag = 3.4p = 3.4 x 350 = Rs. 1190.

Remaining work = 1 - 9/10 = 1/10

=> A & B together completes 1/10 of work in 4 days

=> 1 work can completed in ------ ? days

Let it be x days

=>  4110=x1

=> x = 40 days.

Hence, A & B together can complete the work in 40 days.

A can complete the work in 12 days working 8 hours a day

=> Number of hours A can complete the work = 12×8 = 96 hours 

=> Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/96

B can complete the work in 8 days working 10 hours a day

=> Number of hours B can complete the work = 8×10 = 80 hours 

=> Work done by B in 1 hour = 1/80

Work done by A and B in 1 hour = 1/96 + 1/80 = 11/480

 => A and B can complete the work in 480/11 hours

A and B works 8 hours a day.

Hence total days to complete the work with A and B working together 

= (480/11)/ (8) = 60/11 days

The given series is 15, 19, 27, 38, 55, 75

15

15 + 4 = 19

19 + 8 = 27

27 + 12 = 39

39 + 16 = 55

55 + 20 = 75

Hence, the odd number in the given series is 38.

Required % is given by 

=> 12100-12x100

= 1200/88

= 13.636%

Let x be the investment of Lasya in 5% and y be in 4%

x(5)(n)/100 = y(4)(n)/100

=> x/y = 4/5

x : y = 4 : 5
