Q:

In a certain Business, the profit is 220% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit ?

A) 61% B) 75%
C) 55% D) 81%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 61%

Explanation:

Let C.P.= Rs. 100.

Then, Profit = Rs.220, 

S.P. = Rs.320.

 

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125 

New S.P. = Rs.320.

Profit = Rs. (320 - 125) = Rs. 195

 

Required percentage = 195320×100== 60.9 =~ 61%

Q:

Train X crosses a stationary train Y in 60 seconds and a pole in 25 seconds with the same speed. The length of the train X is 300 m. What is the length of the stationary train Y ?

A) 360 m B) 420 m
C) 460 m D) 320 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 420 m

Explanation:

Let the length of the stationary train Y be LY
Given that length of train X, LX = 300 m
Let the speed of Train X be V.
Since the train X crosses train Y and a pole in 60 seconds and 25 seconds respectively.
=> 300/V = 25 ---> ( 1 )
(300 + LY) / V = 60 ---> ( 2 )
From (1) V = 300/25 = 12 m/sec.
From (2) (300 + LY)/12 = 60
=> 300 + LY = 60 (12) = 720
=> LY = 720 - 300 = 420 m
Length of the stationary train = 420 m
