Q:

A person takes 20 minutes more to cover a certain distance by decreasing his speed by 20%. What is the time taken to cover the distance at his original speed ?

A) 1hr B) 1 hr 20 min
C) 1 hr 10 min D) 50 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1 hr 20 min

Explanation:

Let the distance and original speed be 'd' km and 'k' kmph respectively.

d/0.8k - d/k = 20/60 => 5d/4k - d/k = 1/3

=> (5d - 4d)/4k = 1/3 => d = 4/3 k

Time taken to cover the distance at original speed

= d/k = 4/3 hours = 1 hour 20 minutes.

Q:

If the cost price of a certain object doubles, then the loss gets tripled of what it was initially. The initial loss % was ?

A) 0 % B) 25 %
C) 75 % D) 50 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 %

Explanation:

Let the cost price be x and selling price be y.
Loss = x – y

 

When the cost price doubles, the loss gets tripled.
So it becomes like this, 2x – y = 3(x-y)

=> x = 2y

 

Loss % = (loss/ C.P) x 100 = [(2y-y)/2y] x 100= 50 %
