Q:

A merchant buys two items for Rs. 7500. One item he sells at a profit of 16% and the other item at 14% loss. In the deal, the merchant makes neither any profit nor any loss. What is the difference between the selling price of both the items?

A) Rs. 620 B) Rs. 654
C) Rs. 725 D) Rs. 747
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 620

Explanation:

Let the C.P of one item is Rs. P
and that of other is Rs. (7500 - P)

According to the data given
C.P = S.P
=> Px(116/100) + (7500-P)x(86/100) = 7500
=> 30P = 105000
=> P = 3500

Required difference between selling prices
= Rs. [(3500/100) x 116] - [(4000/100) x 86]
= 4060-3440
= Rs. 620

Q:

A rectangular plot measuring 90 metres by 50 metres is to be enclosed by wire fencing. If the poles of the fence are kept 5 metres apart, how many poles will be needed?

A) 56m B) 65m
C) 34m D) 36m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 56m

Explanation:

Length of the wire fencing = perimeter = 2(90 + 50) = 280 metres

Two poles will be kept 5 metres apart. Also remember that the poles will be placed along the perimeter of the rectangular plot, not in a single straight line which is very important.

 

Hence number of poles required = 280 / 5 = 56

Q:

At a dinner party every two guests used a bowl of rice between them, every three guests used a bowl of dal between them and every four used a bowl of meat between them. There were altogether 65 dishes. How many guests were present at the party ?

A) 60 B) 74
C) 82 D) 58
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 60

Explanation:

Let,

no. of rice bowl = x
no. of dal bowl = y
no. of meat bowl = z

Then, x + y + z = 65 ....(1)

Also given that, 2x = 3y = 4z

substituting value of y & z in terms of x i.e. y = 2x/3 and z = x/2 in eq (1),
We get x = 30.

As 1 rice bowl is shared between 2 guests,
Therefore, there are 60 guests.

Q:

A mixture of 70 litres of Fruit Juice and water contains 10% water. How many litres of water should be added to the mixture so that the mixture contains 12.5% water   ?

A) 2 lit B) 4 lit
C) 1 lit D) 3 lit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 2 lit

Explanation:

Quantity of fruit juice in the mixture = 70 - [70 x (10/100) ]= 63 litres.

 

After adding water, juice would form 87.5% of the mixture.

 

Hence, if quantity of mixture after adding x liters of water, [(87.5) /100 ]*x = 63 => x = 72 

 

Hence 72 - 70 = 2 litres of water must be added.
