Lightning is seen earlier than thunder because light travels much faster than sound.

Q:

A contractor undertakes to complete a work in 130 days. He employs 150 men for 25 days and they complete 1/4 of the work . He then reduces the number of men to 100, who work for 60 days, after which there are 10 days holidays.How many men must be employed for the remaining period to finish the work?

Answer

150 men in 25 days do = 14 work  


Let 1 man in 1 day does = x  work  


Total work done by 150 men in 25 days = 150x *  25 = 14   work => x = 115000   


Therefore, 100 men in 60 days do = 100 * 60x = 6000x work = 6/15 = 2/5


Total work done =14 + 25 = 1320 


Therefore, Remaining work = 1 - 1320 = 720  


Remaining time = 130 - (25+60+10) = 35 days 


Therefore, work is done in 25 days by 150 men.


Therefore, Work is done in 35 days by 150 men.


Hence, he should employ 50 more men.

Q:

A merchant buys two articles for Rs.600. He sells one of them at a profit of 22% and the other at a loss of 8% and makes no profit or loss in the end. What is the selling price of the article that he sold at a loss ?

A) Rs. 404.80 B) Rs. 536.80
C) Rs.440 D) Rs. 160
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 404.80

Explanation:

Let C1 be the cost price of the first article and C2 be the cost price of the second article.
Let the first article be sold at a profit of 22%, while the second one be sold at a loss of 8%.

We know, C1 + C2 = 600.
The first article was sold at a profit of 22%. Therefore, the selling price of the first article = C1 + (22/100)C1 = 1.22C1
The second article was sold at a loss of 8%. Therefore, the selling price of the second article = C2 - (8/100)C2 = 0.92C2.

The total selling price of the first and second article = 1.22C1 + 0.92C2.

As the merchant did not make any profit or loss in the entire transaction, his combined selling price of article 1 and 2 is the same as the cost price of article 1 and 2.

Therefore, 1.22C1 + 0.92C2 = C1+C2 = 600
As C1 + C2 = 600, C2 = 600 - C1. Substituting this in 1.22C1 + 0.92C2 = 600, we get
1.22C1 + 0.92(600 - C1) = 600
or 1.22C1 - 0.92C1 = 600 - 0.92*600
or 0.3C1 = 0.08*600 = 48
or C1 = 48/(0.3) = 160.
If C1 = 160, then C2 = 600 - 160 = 440.
The item that is sold at loss is article 2. The selling price of article 2 = 0.92*C2 = 0.92*440 = 404.80.

Q:

In a test, minimum passing percentage for girls and boys is 35% and 40% respectively. A boy scored 483 marks and failed by 117 marks. What is the minimum passing marks for girls ?

A) 625 B) 525
C) 425 D) 325
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 525

Explanation:

Given 40% minimum passing marks for boys = 483 + 117 = 600
=> 1% = 600/40
=> 100% = 600 x 100/40 = 1500
Minimum passing marks for girls = 35% of 1500 = 35 x 1500/100 = 525.
