Q:

An exhibition was conducted for 4 weeks. The number of tickets sold in 2nd workweek was increased by 20% and increased by 16% in the 3rd workweek but decreased by 20% in the 4th workweek. Find the number of tickets sold in the beginning, if 1392 tickets were sold in the last week ?

A) 1124 B) 1420
C) 1345 D) 1250
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1250

Explanation:

Let initially 'X' ticket has been sold.
So now in 2nd week 20% increases, so
=> X x 120/100
In 3rd week 16% increases, so
=> X x (120/100) x (116/100)
In 4th week 20% decrease, so
=> X x (120/100) x (116/100) x (80/100) = 1392
X = 1250.

Q:

The two trains of lengths 400 m, 600 m respectively, running at same directions. The faster train can cross the slower train in 180 sec, the speed of the slower train is 48 kmph. Then find the speed of faster train  ?

A) 68 kmph B) 52 kmph
C) 76 kmph D) 50 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 68 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the faster train be 'X' kmph,
Then their relative speed= X - 48 kmph
To cross slower train by faster train,
Distance need to be cover = (400 + 600)m = 1 km. and
Time required = 180 sec = 180/3600 hr = 1/20 hr.
Time = Distance/Speed
=> 1/20 = 1/(x-48)
X = 68 kmph
