Q:

A Bus is running at 9/10 of its own speed reached a place in 22 hours. How much time could be saved if the bus would run at its own speed ?

A) 1.5 hrs B) 1.7 hrs
C) 2.2 hrs D) 3.5 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2.2 hrs

Explanation:

Let the original Speed be "s" kmph
And the usual time be "t" hrs
Given that if the bus is running at 9s/10 kmph the time is 22 hrs
=> [9s/10] x 22 = t x s
=> 99/5 = t
=> t = 19.8 hrs

 

Hence, if bus runs at its own speed, the time saved = 22 - 19.8 = 2.2 hrs.

Q:

The cost price of 40 Magazines is the same as the selling price of 'P' articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of 'P' is:

A) 32 B) 40
C) 16 D) 30
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 32

Explanation:

Let C.P. of each Magazine be Rs. 1

C.P. of P articles = Rs. P. 

S.P. of P articles = Rs. 40.

 

Profit = Rs. (40 - P)

 

Now, Gain% = ProfitC.P×100 = 40-PP×100 

 

Here 40-PP×100= 25

A) 29 B) 27
C) 31 D) 33
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 29

Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4

According to the question,

Difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last

two odd numbers is 396

i.e, x+3 and x-3

x + 32 - x - 32 = 396 x2 + 9 + 6x - x2 + 6x - 9 = 396 12x = 396 x = 33

 

Hence, the smallest odd number is 33 - 4 = 29.

Q:

There are two examinations rooms P and Q. If 10 students are sent from P to Q, then the number of students in each room is the same. If 20 candidates are sent from Q to P, then the number of students in P is double the number of students in Q. The number of students in room Q is ?

A) 100 B) 70
C) 120 D) 80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 80

Explanation:

If 'k' is number of students in P and 'l' is number of students in Q, then
From the given conditions, we have
=> k - 10 = l + 10 .......(1)
=> k + 20 = 2(l - 20) ....(2)

Solving these eqns, we get
k = 100 and l = 80.
Therefore, number of students in class Q is 80.

A) Rs. 3680 B) Rs. 3560
C) Rs. 3320 D) Rs. 3250
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 3250

Explanation:

Let the Cost price of the powerbank = Rs. P

But given that by selling it at Rs. 1950, it gives a loss of 25%

=> P x 75100 = 1950
=>P = 1950 x 10075 = Rs. 2600
Now, to get a profit of 25%

Selling Price = 2600 x 125100 = Rs. 3250.

Q:

O and O' are the center of the two circles with radii 7cm and 9cm respectively. The distance between the centers is 20cm. If PQ be the transverse common tangent to the circles, which cuts OO' at X, what is the length of O'X in cm ?

A) 10 B) 6
C) 35/4 D) 45/4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 45/4

Explanation:

As clear from the figure itself, triangle OQX and triangle O'PX are similar.

So,

OQ/O'P = OX/O'X

=> OX = (7/9)xO'X

And since, OX + O'X = 20

=> (7/9)xO'X + O'X = 20

=> O'X = 45/4
