Q:

A person can row 8 1/2 km an hour in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the river. The speed of the stream ?

A) 1.78 kmph B) 2.35 kmph
C) 2.83 kmph D) 3.15 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2.83 kmph

Explanation:

Given speed of the person = 8 1/2 = 17/2 kmph
Let the speed of the stream = x kmph
speed of upstream = 17/2 - x
speed of downstream = 17/2 + x
But given that,
2(17/2 - x) = 17/2 + x
=> 3x = 17/2
=> x = 2.83 kmph.

Q:

At an examination in which maximum marks are 500. K got 10% less than L, L got 25% more than M and M got 20% less than N. If K got 360 marks what percentage of marks was obtained by N ?

A) 80 B) 87
C) 78 D) 76
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 80

Explanation:

Let marks obtained by N = x

M's marks = 0.80x

L's marks = 1.25 (0.80x)

K's marks = (0.90) (1.25) (0.80x)

= 0.9x

But 0.9x = 360 ⇒ x = 400

Percentage of Marks obtained by N

= 400 x 100/500 = 80%

A) 87% B) 98%
C) 138% D) 126%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 126%

Suppose total earnings = Rs. 10000
10% saving = 10000 x (10/100) = Rs. 1000
This year 5% more income than prev year = Rs. 10500
12% saving = 10500 x (12/100) = Rs. 1260
Percentage of amount saved = (1260/1000) x 100 = 126%

Q:

The average age of a couple and their son was 40 years, the son got married and a child was born just two years after their marriage. When child turned to 10 years, then the average age of the family becomes 38 years. What was the age of the daughter in law at the time of marriage ?

A) 12 years B) 10 years
C) 14 years D) 13 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12 years

Explanation:

Given the average age of couple and their son = 40

=> Sum of age (H +W +S) = 40×3

Let the age of daughter in law at the time of marriage = D years

Now after 10 years,

(H + S +W) + 3×12 + D +12 + 10 = 38×5

178 + D = 190

D = 190 -178 = 12 years
