Q:

Find the appropriate relation for quantity1 and quantity2 in the following question:

Quantity 1: In an examination, Ankita scored 35 marks less than Puneeta. Puneeta scored 65 more marks than Meenakshi. Rakhi scored 115 marks, which is 20 marks more than Meenakshi's. Simpy scored 108 marks less than the maximum marks of the test. What approximate percentage of marks did Simpy score in the examination, if she got 67 marks more than Ankita?

Quantity 2: The length of a rectangle is increased by 60%. By what percent would the width have to be decreased to maintain the same area?

A) Quantity1 < Quantity2	B) Quantity1 ≤ Quantity2
C) Quantity1 ≥ Quantity2	D) Quantity1 > Quantity2

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Quantity1 > Quantity2

Explanation:

Quantity1-
Rakhi’s marks= 115
Meenakshi’s marks= 115 - 20 = 95
Puneeta’s marks= 95 + 65= 160
Ankita’s marks=160 - 35= 125
Simpy’s marks= 125+ 67= 192
Total maximum marks= 192 + 108= 300
Required percentage marks of Simpy
= $\frac{192}{300} \times 100 = 64 %$
Quantity2-
Let length and breadth be 100.

After increase in length it become 160, then
reduction in breadth be ‘x’
Now, 160*x= 100*100
Hence, x = $\frac{10000}{160} = 62.5$

100-62.5=37.5%

Q:

A booster pump can be used for filling as well as for emptying a tank. The capacity of the tank is 2400 $m^{3}$ . The emptying capacity of the tank is 10 $m^{3}$ per minute higher than its filling capacity and the pump needs 8 minutes lesser to empty the tank than it needs to fill it. What is the filling capacity of the pump?

A) 50 m^3/min	B) 60 m^3/min
C) 72 m^3/min	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 50 m^3/min

Explanation:

Let the filling capacity of the pump be x $m^{3}$ /min.

Then, emptying capacity of the pump=(x+10) $m^{3}$ /min.

so, $\frac{2400}{x} - \frac{2400}{x + 10} = 8 \Leftrightarrow x^{2} + 10 x - 3000 = 0$

$\Rightarrow (x - 50) + (x + 60) = 0 \Leftrightarrow x = 50$

Q:

Two pipes can fill a tank in 20 and 24 minutes respectively and a waste pipe can empty 3 gallons per minute. All the three pipes working together can fill the tank in 15 minutes. The capacity of the tank is:

A) 60 gallons	B) 100 gallons
C) 120 gallons	D) 180 gallons

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 120 gallons

Explanation:

Work done by the waste pipe in 1 minute = $\frac{1}{15} - (\frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{24}) = \frac{1}{15} - \frac{11}{120} = - \frac{1}{40}$ [-ve sign means emptying]

Volume of $\frac{1}{40}$ part = 3 gallons

Volume of whole = (3 x 40) gallons = 120 gallons.
