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 = $\frac{25}{95} \times 3325 = 875$

Answer

Here in the above puzzle,

Consider the columns.

Column 1 = Row 1 + Row 2 = Row 3

That is,

44 + 12 = 56

Similarly,

48 + 30 = 78

Hence, 14 + 51 = 65.

Hence, the missing number in the given puzzle = 65.

Q:

The compound interest on a sum of money for 2 years is rs.832 and the simple interest on the same sum for the same period is rs.800 .the difference between the compound interest and simple interest for 3 years

A) Rs.48	B) Rs.66.56
C) Rs.98.56	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.98.56

Explanation:

difference in C.I and S.I in 2years =Rs.32

S.I for 1year =Rs.400

S.I for Rs.400 for one year =Rs.32

rate=[100*32)/(400*1)%=8%

difference between in C.I and S.I for 3rd year

=S.I on Rs.832= Rs.(832*8*1)/100=Rs.66.56

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.
