Q:

Watson bought a book for Rs. 240 and sold to Johny at a profit  of 50%. Johny wants to sell this book to Shekar so that he earns a profit of 25%. But Shekar is adamant at buying this book at a discount of 10%. What marked price should Johny quote to Shekar so as to achieve desired profit ?

A) Rs. 450 B) Rs. 360
C) Rs. 415 D) Rs. 500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 500

Explanation:

Watson bought the book for Rs. 240 and sold to Johny at a profit of 50%.

S.P = C.P(1 + P%/100)

=> S.P for Watson = C.P for Johny = 240(1 + 50/100) = 240 x 1.5 = Rs. 360

Let Johny quoted the marked price of the book as Rs. M

We know, SP = M.P(1 - Discount(%)/100)

Here discount = 10% to Shekar,

S.P for Johny = M(1 - 10/100) = 0.9M

But Johny want to earn 25% profit,

=> S.P = C.P(1 + P%/100)

=> 0.9M = 360(1 + 25/100)

=> M = (360x1.25)/0.9

=> M = Rs. 500

Therefore, Johny should quote Rs. 500 as the marked price of the book to get 25% profit and allowing 10% discount to Shekar.

Q:

Munna and Chinna are partners in a firm out of which Munna is sleeping partner and Chinna is working partner. Munna invests Rs. 1,40,000 and Chinna invests Rs. 80,000. Chinna receives 14.5% of profit for managing the business and the rest is shared between both in ratio of their investments. Munna's share in the profit of Rs. 19600 is ?

A) Rs. 9580.25 B) Rs. 10600
C) Rs. 10664.15 D) Rs. 11060.48
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 10664.15

Explanation:

Profit received by Chinna as working partner = 14.5% of Rs. 19600

= 14.5x19600/100 = Rs. 2842

Balance in profit = 19600-2842 = Rs. 16758

Ratio of investment of Chinna & Munna = 80,000 : 1,40,000 = 4 : 7

Hence share of Chinna in investment = 4x16758/100 = Rs. 6093.85

Therefore, Share of Munna = 19600 - 2842 - 6093.85 = Rs. 10664.15

Q:

Mary is 12 years younger to Pinky. After 3 years, the ratio of their ages will be 5:8. If the present age of Sam is the sum of ages of Mary and Pinky, then what was the age of Sam 15 years back ?

A) 31 years B) 37 years
C) 46 years D) 29 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 31 years

Explanation:

Let the present age of Pinky be x years

 

Then the age of Mary is x - 12 years

 

After 3 years,

 

Ratio of  MaryPinky = x - 9x + 3 = 58

 

8x - 72 = 5x +15

 

=> 3x = 87

 

=> x = 29

 

=> Age of Pinky = 29 years

 

=> Age of Mary = 29 - 12 = 17 years

 

Present age of Sam = 29 + 17 = 46

 

Before 15 years Sam age = 46 - 15 = 31 years.

Q:

The length of a rectangle is 10 cm more than the breadth. Find the diagonal length of rectangle if perimeter is 44 cm ?

A) 12.50 cm B) 14.21 cm
C) 15.98 cm D) 17.08 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 17.08 cm

Explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle = L cm

 

Then the breadth of the rectangle = (L - 10) cm

 

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L + B) cm

 

=> 44 = 2(L + L - 10)

 

=> 44 = 4L - 20

 

=> 4L = 64

 

=> L = 16 cm

 

=> B = L - 10 = 6 cm

 

Diagonal = L2+B2 = 162+62 = 17.08 cm
