Q:

The average age of 8 men is increased by years when two of them whose ages are 21 years and 23 years are replaced by two new men. The average age of the two new men is :

A) 20	B) 30

Q:

A car owner buys petrol at Rs 7.50, Rs. 8 and Rs. 8.50 per litre for three successive years. What approximately is the average cost per litre of petrol if he spends Rs. 4000 each year ?

A) 6.23	B) 7.98
C) 8.97	D) 9.89

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7.98

Explanation:

Total quantity of petrol consumed in 3 years =(4000/7.50+4000/8+4000/8.50) liters

= 4000(2/15+1/8+2/17) liters

= 76700/51 liters

Total amount spent = Rs. (3 x 4000) = Rs. 12000.

$\therefore$ Average cost = Rs. (12000*51/76700) = Rs. 7.98.

Q:

3 men, 4 women and 6 children can complete a work in 7 days. A woman does double the work a man does and a child does half the work a man does. How many women alone can complete this work in 7 days ?

A) 6	B) 9
C) 5	D) 7

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 7

Explanation:

Let 1 woman's 1 day work = x.

Then, 1 man's 1 day work = x/2 and 1 child's 1 day work x/4.

So, (3x/2 + 4x + + 6x/4) = 1/7

28x/4 = 1/7 => x = 1/49

1 woman alone can complete the work in 49 days.

So, to complete the work in 7 days, number of women required = 49/7 = 7.

Q:

What is the difference between the compound interests on Rs. 5000 for 1 1/2 years at 4% per annum compounded yearly and half-yearly?

A) 2.04	B) 3.04
C) 4.04	D) 5.04

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2.04

Explanation:

C.I. when interest
compounded yearly=rs.[5000*(1+4/100)(1+1/2*4/100)]

= Rs. 5304.

C.I. when interest is
compounded half-yearly=rs.5000(1+2/100)^3

= Rs. 5306.04
Difference = Rs. (5306.04 - 5304) = Rs. 2.04
