Q:

Which of the following is the longest river in India?

A) Godavari B) Ganga
C) Yamuna D) Brahmaputra
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Ganga

Explanation:

India is a land of rivers. Rivers are generally treated as mothers and almost every major river of India has a legend regarding its origin.

 

The Ganges or Ganga is the longest river of India, if we consider the total distance covered by a river within India. Two major rivers of the Indian subcontinent – Brahmaputra and Indus – are though longer than the Ganges, but the distances these two rivers cover within India are much shorter than that of the Ganges.

The Ganges is the most sacred river to the Hindus. The Ganges originates from Gangotri Glacier (Uttarakhand). The total length that the Ganges covers during its journey is 2,525 kilometers (1569 miles) before it discharges in the Bay of Bengal.

 

The Godavari, also known as 'Dakshin Ganga' – the South Ganges, is the second longest river of India. It originates from Triambakeshwar, Nasik (Maharashtra), and travels through Chhattisgarh, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, before discharging into Bay of Bengal.

Q:

The market price of an article was 40% more than its cost price. Rana was going to sell it at market price to a customer, but he showed Rana some defects in the article, due to which Rana gave him a discount of 28.57%. Next day he came again and showed Rana some more defects, hence he gave him another discount that was equal to 12.5% of the cost price. What was the approximate profit/loss to Rana ?

A) Loss of 12.5% B) Profit of 12.5%
C) Loss of 24.5% D) Profit of 22.5%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Loss of 12.5%

Explanation:

Let the cost price be Rs. 100
Then, market price is Rs. 140
Now, the first discount is of 28.57% Rs.140 =~ Rs. 40
Hence, its selling price = 140 - 40 = Rs. 100
Now since Rana is selling at cost price, any further discount will be equal to loss percentage.
The next dicount of 12.5% will be the loss percentage to Rana.

Q:

X can complete the work in 10 days, Y can do the same in 15 days. If they are hired for 5 days to do the work together, what is the work that left unfinished?

A) 1/3 B) 2/3
C) 1/6 D) 5/6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/6

Explanation:

Given X can do in 10 days 

=> 1 day work of X = 1/10

 

Y can do in 15 days 

=> 1 day work of Y = 1/15

 

1day work of (X + Y) = 1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6

 

Given they are hired for 5 days

 => 5 days work of (X + Y) = 5 x 1/6 = 5/6

 Therefore, Unfinished work = 1 - 5/6 = 1/6
