Q:

Mr. Shankar spends 25% of his monthly salary on household expenditure, 20% of the remaining on children’s education, and the remaining is equally invested in three different schemes. If the amount invested in each scheme is Rs.5600, what is the monthly salary of Shankar ?

A) Rs. 34000 B) Rs. 31245
C) Rs. 24315 D) Rs. 28000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 28000

Explanation:

Let the monthly salary of Shankar be = Rs.x
Amount invested on expenditure = 25% = x/4;
Remaning amount = 3x/4;
Amount invested on children education = 20% i.e = 3x/20;
Remaining amount = 3x/4 - 3x/20 = 3x/5;
Remaining amount invested in three different schemes i.e is 1/3(3x/5)
=> x/5 = 5600
Therefore x = 28000
Hence, Monthly salary of Shankar is Rs. 28,000.

Q:

Train A, travelling at 84 kmph, overtook train B, traveling in the same direction, in 10 seconds. If train B had been traveling at twice its speed, then train A would have taken 22.5 seconds to overtake it. Find the length of train B, given that it is half the length of train A.

A) 180 m B) 100 m
C) 200 m D) 150 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

Let speed of train B be x m/s And length of train B be y m
Then length of train A is 2y m
Speed of train A = 84 × 5/18 = 210/9 m/s = 70/3 m/s
A.T.Q, (2y+y)/10 = 70/3 − x .............(i)
and (2y+y)/ 22.5 = 70/3 − 2x ................(ii)
solving (i) and (ii), y = 50 m
