Q:

Rahul went to purchase a Nokia mobile handset, the shopkeeper told him to pay 20% tax if he asked the bill. Rahul manages to get the discount of 5% on the actual saleprice of the mobile and he paid the shopkeeper Rs. 3325 without tax. Besides he manages to avoid to pay 20% tax on the already discounted price, what is the amount of discount that he has gotten?

A) 750	B) 375
C) 875	D) 525

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 875

Explanation:

CP = 100, SP (with tax) =120

New SP = 100 - 5 = 95

Effective discount = 120 - 95 = 25

So, at SP of 95 ----> discount = 25

and at SP of 3325 -----> discount = $\frac{25}{95} \times 3325 = 875$

Q:

Five farmers have 7,9,11,13 & 14 apple trees respectively in their orchards. Last year each of them discovered that every tree in their own orchard yields exactly the same number of apples. Further, if the 3rd farmer gives one apple to the 1st and the 5th gives 3 to each of the 2nd & d 4th, they would all exactly have the same number of apples, what were the yields per tree in the orchards of the 3rd & 4th farmers ?

A) 17 & 9	B) 9 & 11
C) 9 & 9	D) 11 & 9

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 11 & 9

Explanation:

Let the number of apples in each tree of the 5 farmers be a, b, c, d,e respectively. Therefore total no of apples are 7a, 9b, 11c, 13d and 14e respectively.

Given,
7a+1 = 9b+3 = 11c-1 = 13d+3 = 14e-6 = x

9b+3 = 13d+3
===> 9b = 13d
so take b = 13 and d = 9

9b+3 = 9*13+3 = 120
ie, x=120

substituting
7a+1 = 120
7a = 119
a = 17

11c-1 = 120
11c = 121
c=11

14e-6 = 120
14e = 126
e = 9

Yields per tree in the orchards of d 3rd & 4th farmers= 11,9

Q:

In a Plane there are 37 straight lines, of which 13 pass through the point A and 11 pass through the point B. Besides, no three lines pass through one point, no lines passes through both points A and B , and no two are parallel. Find the number of points of intersection of the straight lines.

A) 525	B) 535
C) 545	D) 555

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 535

Explanation:

The number of points of intersection of 37 lines is $C_{2}^{37}$ . But 13 straight lines out of the given 37 straight lines pass through the same point A.

Therefore instead of getting $C_{2}^{13}$ points, we get only one point A. Similarly 11 straight lines out of the given 37 straight lines intersect at point B. Therefore instead of getting $C_{2}^{11}$ points, we get only one point B.

Hence the number of intersection points of the lines is $C_{2}^{37} - C_{2}^{13} - C_{2}^{11} + 2$ = 535

Q:

Three persons A, B and C are standing in a queue. There are five persons between A and B and eight persons between B and C. If there be three persons ahead of C and 21 persons behind A, what could be the minimum number of persons in the queue?

A) 41	B) 40
C) 28	D) 27

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 28

Explanation:

Three persons A, B, C can be arranged in a queue in six different ways, ie ABC, CBA, BAC, CAB, BCA, ACB. But since there are only 3 persons ahead of C, so C should be in front of the queue. Thus, there are only two possible arrangements, ie CBA and CAB.

We may consider the two cases as under:

Case I: $\overset{3}{\leftarrow} C \overset{8}{\leftrightarrow} B \overset{5}{\leftrightarrow} A \overset{21}{\to}$

Clearly, number of persons in the queue = (3+1+8+1+5+1+21=) 40

Case II: $\overset{3}{\leftarrow} C A \overset{5}{\leftrightarrow} B$

Number of persons between A and C

= (8 - 6) = 2

$∵ [C \overset{8}{\leftrightarrow} B A \overset{21}{\to} B]$

Clearly number of persons in the queue = (3+1+2+1+21) = 28

Now, 28 < 40. So, 28 is the minimum number of persons in the queue.

Q:

A Certain sum of money an amounts to Rs 2500 in a span Of 5 years and further to Rs.3000 in a span of 7 years at simple interest The sum is ?

A) Rs. 1800	B) Rs. 2000
C) Rs. 1400	D) Rs. 1250

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 1250

Explanation:

2500 in 5th year and 3000 in 7th year
So in between 2 years Rs. 500 is increased => for a year 500/2 = 250
So, per year it is increasing Rs.250 then in 5 years => 250 x 5 = 1250
Hence, the initial amount must be 2500 - 1250 = Rs. 1250
