A) 80% B) 70%
C) 75% D) 62%

Water in 60 gm mixture=60 x 75/100 = 45 gm. and Milk = 15 gm.

 

After adding 15 gm. of water in mixture, total water = 45 + 15 = 60 gm and weight of a mixture = 60 + 15 = 75 gm.

 

So % of water = 100 x 60/75 = 80%.

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

Explanation:

Let the shopkeeper buy 300g for Rs.300. Now he sells 100g for Rs.110, another 100g for Rs120, and the rest 100g for Rs94. 

 

Therefore, the total amount he receives = Rs.110 + Rs.120 + Rs.94 = 324. 

 

Therefore, the shopkeeper spends Rs.300 and gets back Rs.324.

 

Therefore, his profit percentage = 24300x100 % = 8%

Q:

The wages of labourers in a factory increases in the ratio 22:25 and there was a reduction in the number of labourers in the ratio 15:11. Find the original wage bill if the present bill is Rs. 5000 ?

A) Rs. 5500 B) Rs. 6000
C) Rs. 6200 D) Rs. 6350
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 6000

Explanation:

The wages of labourers in a factory increases in the ratio 22:25 and there was a reduction in the number of labourers in the ratio 15:11. Find the original wage bill if the present bill is Rs 5000 ?
Ratio of increase of wages = 22:25
Ratio of decrease of labourers = 15:11
Compound ratio of wages of labourers = 22 x 15 : 25 x 11 = 330:275
Final bill = Rs. 5000
For 275 ratio wages = Rs. 5000
For 1 ratio wages = 5000/275
For 330 ratio wages = 5000/275 x 330 = Rs. 6000

Q:

If the first half of the English alphabet is reversed and then next portion of English alphabet is reversed so as 'A' takes the portion of 'M' and 'N' takes the portion of 'z' then which letter will be 6th to the left of 17th letter to the right of 7th leter from the left?

A) U B) V
C) C D) D
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) V

Explanation:

6th to the left of 17th letter to the right of 7th letter from the left = 6th to the left of (17+7 =) 24th letter from the left = (24-6 =) 18th letter from the left.

 

Thus, we have to count from the left and we have to find out 18th letter from the left that falls into the second section of English alphabet.

 

Here, both the first half and the second half of the English alphabet have been reversed and we have to count from the left end, then the required letter can be found out using the formula given below. Suppose , the first and the second reversed sections of the English alphabet are α and  βrespectively.Then,

 

  The required letter = 2α+β+1-(required position of letter from left side)

 

Therefore, The required letter = 26 + 13 + 1 - 18 = 22 = V
