A) 20% p.a B) 15% p.a
C) 18% p.a D) 24% p.a
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 20% p.a

Explanation:

Rs.1440 - 1200 = Rs.240 is the interest on Rs.1200 for one year.

Rate of interest = (100 x 240) / (1200) = 20% p.a

Q:

Two numbers are respectively 40% and 30% more than a third number. The second number expressed in terms of percentage of the first is ?

A) 92.8% B) 84.23%
C) 87.14% D) 94.1%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 92.8%

Explanation:

Here, x = 40 and y = 30;
Therefore second number
= [[100+y100+x] x 100 ]% of first number
= [[100+y100+x] x 100 ]% of first number
Second number = 92.8% of the first number.

Q:

The two trains of lengths 400 m, 600 m respectively, running at same directions. The faster train can cross the slower train in 180 sec, the speed of the slower train is 48 kmph. Then find the speed of faster train  ?

A) 68 kmph B) 52 kmph
C) 76 kmph D) 50 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 68 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the faster train be 'X' kmph,
Then their relative speed= X - 48 kmph
To cross slower train by faster train,
Distance need to be cover = (400 + 600)m = 1 km. and
Time required = 180 sec = 180/3600 hr = 1/20 hr.
Time = Distance/Speed
=> 1/20 = 1/(x-48)
X = 68 kmph

Q:

A box contains 3 blue marbles, 4 red, 6 green marbles and 2 yellow marbles. If two marbles are picked at random, what is the probability that they are either blue or yellow ?

A) 3/17 B) 4/21
C) 2/21 D) 5/17
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2/21

Explanation:

Given that there are three blue marbles, four red marbles, six green marbles and two yellow marbles.

 

Probability that both marbles are blue = ³C₂/¹⁵C₂ = (3 x 2)/(15 x 14) = 1/35

Probability that both are yellow = ²C₂/¹⁵C₂ = (2 x 1)/(15 x 14) = 1/105

Probability that one blue and other is yellow = (³C₁ x ²C₁)/¹⁵C₂ = (2 x 3 x 2)/(15 x 14) = 2/35

 

Required probability = 1/35 + 1/105 + 2/35 = 3/35 + 1/105 = 1/35(3 + 1/3) = 10/(3 x 35) = 2/21

Q:

When Ram was born, his father was 32 years older than his brother and his mother was 25 years older than his sister. If Ram's brother is 6 years older than Ram and his mother is 3 years younger than his father, how old was Ram's sister when Ram was born ?

A) 6 years B) 8 years
C) 10 years D) 12 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 10 years

Explanation:

Ram age when he was born = 0 years
=> His brother's age = 6 year
=> His father's age = brother age + 32years = 6+32 = 38
=> His mother's age = father's age - 3 = 35
So sister's age = 35-25 = 10years.

Q:

How many seconds in 10 years?

A) 31523500 sec B) 315360000 sec
C) 315423000 sec D) 315354000 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 315360000 sec

Explanation:

We know that,

1 year = 365 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds.

 

Then, 1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 seconds.

= 8760 x 3600

1 year = 31536000 seconds.

 

Hence, 10 years = 31536000 x 10 = 315360000 seconds.
