Q:

Two persons Shyam and Rahim can do a job in 32 days together. Rahim can do the same job in 48 days alone. They started working together and after working 8 days Rahim is replaced by a third person Ram whose efficiency is half that of Rahim. Find in how many days the remaining work will be completed by both Shyam and Ram together?

A) 16 days B) 72/5 days
C) 15 days D) 96/5 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 72/5 days

Explanation:

Work done by Shyam and Rahim in 8 days = 8/32 = 1/4

Remaining work to be done by Shyam and Ram = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

Given efficieny of Ram is half of Rahim i.e, as Rahim can do the work in 48 days, Ram can do the work in 24 days.

One day work of Ram and Shyam = (1/32 - 1/48) + 1/24 = 5/96

Hence, the total work can be done by Shyam and Ram together in 96/5 days.

 

Therefore, remaining work 3/4 can be done by them in 3/4 x 96/5 = 72/5 = 14.4 days.

Q:

7 years ago, the ratio of the ages of Anirudh to that of Bhavana, was 7:9. Chandhu is 12 years older than Anirudh and 12 years younger than Bhavana. What is Chandhu's present age?

A) 91 years B) 115 years
C) 103 years D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 103 years

Explanation:

Let present Anirudh's age be 'A' and Bhavana's age be 'B'

Given seven years, their ratio is 7:9

=> A-7 : B-7 = 7 : 9

=> 9A - 7B = 14 .......(1)

And given,

Chandhu is 12 years older than A nad 12 years younger than B

=> C = A + 12....(2)

=> B = C + 12

=> B = A + 12 + 12 .....(From (2))

=> B = A + 24 ....(3)

Put (3) in (1)

9A - 7(A+24) = 14

9A - 7A - 168 = 14

2A = 182

=> A = 91 years

=> C = A + 12 = 91 +12 = 103 years.

Q:

If the labour cost 20% of the cost of production and raw material cost 10% of the cost of production and the price on which article is sold is 20% above the cost of production. If the price of labour is increased by 40% and the price of raw material increased by 20% and rest other expenditure of cost remain constant. The industry thus decide to increase the selling price by 10%. Find the new profit percent  ?

A) 18% B) 20%
C) 22% D) 24%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20%

Explanation:

Let the Cost of Production of the article = 100

Then, Labour Cost = 20

Raw Material = 10

Other Expenditure = 100 - 10 – 20 = 70

Selling Price of the article  = 120

After increasing Labour and Raw material cost by 40% & 20% respectively,

New Labour cost = 28

New Raw material cost = 12

New Cost of Production = 70 + 28 + 12 = 110

Then, New SP = 110% of 120 = 120 x 110/100 = 132

=> New Gain = 132 - 110 = 22

=> New Profit % = 22 x 100/110 = 20%
