Q:

Two bus tickets from city K to L and three tickets from city K to M cost Rs. 77,  but three tickets from city K to L and two tickets from city K to M cost Rs. 73. What are the fares for cities L and M from K ?

A) Rs. 13 and Rs. 17 B) Rs. 17 and Rs. 19
C) Rs. 23 and Rs. 17 D) Rs. 13 and Rs. 19
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 13 and Rs. 17

Explanation:

If fares for cities L and M from K are x and y respectively, then

2x + 3y = 77 or 6x + 9y = 231...(1)
3x + 2y = 73 or 6x + 4y = 146...(2)

subtracting 2 from 1, we get

5y = 85

y = Rs. 17 => x = Rs. 13

Q:

In a city of engineers of 4800, the number of female engineers are 3/8th of them. The number of female engineers is what percentage of the number of male engineers?

A) 76 B) 60
C) 56 D) 52
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

Total engineers = 4800

Number of female engineers = 3/8 x 4800 = 1800

Then, number of male engineers = 4800 - 1800 = 3000

Now, required is female engineers is what percentage of the number of male engineers

=> 1800 is what % of 3000

=> p x 3000/100 = 1800

=> 30p = 1800

p = 60%

 

Hence, female engineers is 60 percentage of the number of male engineers.
