Q:

A jar was full with honey. A person used to draw out 20% of the honey from the jar and replaced it with sugar solution. He has repeated the same process 4 times and thus there was only 512 gm of honey left in the jar, the rest part of the jar was filled with the sugar solution. The initial amount of honey in the jar was:

A) 1.25 kg	B) 1 kg
C) 1.5 kg	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1.25 kg

Explanation:

Let the initial amount of honey in the jar was k, then

$512 = k {(1 - \frac{1}{5})}^{4} o r 512 = k {(\frac{4}{5})}^{4}$

=> $k = \frac{512 \times 625}{256}$

=> k = 1250

Hence initially the honey in the jar = 1.25 kg

Q:

Mr. Karthik drives to work at an average speed of 48 km/hr. Time taken to cover the first 60% of the distance is 20 minutes more than the time taken to cover the remaining distance. Then how far is his office ?

A) 40 km	B) 50 km
C) 70 km	D) 80 km

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 80 km

Explanation:

Let the total distance be 'x' km.

Time taken to cover remaining 40% of x distance is $t 1 = \frac{40 \times x}{100 \times 48}$

But given time taken to cover first 60% of x distance is $t 2 = t 1 + \frac{20}{60} h r s$

$t 2 = \frac{60 \times x}{100 \times 48}$

$∴ \frac{60 \times x}{100 \times 48} = \frac{40 \times x}{100 \times 48} + \frac{20}{60}$
