Q:

In a pot, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 4 : 5. If it is filled with an additional 8 litres of milk, the pot would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 6 : 5. Find the capacity of the pot ?

A) 11 lit	B) 22 lit
C) 33 lit	D) 44 lit

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 22 lit

Explanation:

Let the capacity of the pot be 'P' litres.
Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (P - 8)
After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 P.
6P/11 - 8 = 4/9(P - 8)
10P = 792 - 352 => P = 44.

The capacity of the pot is 44 liters.

Q:

If each side of a square is increased by 25%, find the percentage change in its area.

A) 56.25%	B) 36.25%
C) 16.25%	D) 12.25%

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 56.25%

Explanation:

Let each side of the square be a. Then, area = . $a^{2}$
New side = $\frac{125 a}{100} = \frac{5 a}{4}$ . New area = ${(\frac{5 a}{4})}^{2}$ = $(\frac{25 a^{2}}{16})$

Increase in area = $\frac{25 a^{2}}{16} - a^{2} = \frac{9 a^{2}}{16}$
Increase% = $[\frac{9 a^{2}}{16} * \frac{1}{a^{2}} * 100]$ % = 56.25%.

Q:

If the compound interest on a certain sum at $16 \frac{2}{3}$ % to 3 years is Rs.1270, find the simple interest on the same sum at the same rate and f or the same period.

A) 1080	B) 1090
C) 1180	D) 1109

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1080

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. x. Then,

$C . I = [x * {(\frac{50}{300 * 100})}^{3} - x] = (\frac{343 x}{216} - x) = \frac{127 x}{216}$

$\Leftrightarrow \frac{127 x}{216} = 1270$

$x = 2160$

Thus, the sum is Rs. 2160

$S . I = R s . [2160 * \frac{50}{3} * 3 * \frac{1}{100}] = R s 1080$

Q:

A, B and C invest in the ratio of 3 : 4: 5. The percentage of return on their investments are in the ratio of 6 : 5 : 4. Find the total earnings, If B earns Rs. 250 more than A :

A) Rs. 6000	B) Rs. 7250
C) Rs. 5000	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 7250

Explanation:

A B C

investment 3x 4x 5x

Rate of return 6y% 5y% 4y%

Return $\frac{18 x y}{100} \frac{20 x y}{100} \frac{20 x y}{100}$

Total = (18+20+20) = $\frac{58 x y}{100}$

B's earnings - A's earnings = $\frac{2 x y}{100}$ = 250

Total earning = $\frac{58 x y}{100}$ = 7250

Q:

A sum was put at simple interest at a certain rate for 10 years . Had it been put at 5% higher rate , it would have fetched Rs.600 more. What was the Sum?

A) Rs.1200	B) Rs.1300
C) Rs.1400	D) Rs.1500

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.1200

Explanation:

At 5% more rate, the increase in S.I for 10 years = Rs.600 (given)

So, at 5% more rate, the increase in SI for 1 year = 600/10 = Rs.60/-

i.e. Rs.60 is 5% of the invested sum

So, 1% of the invested sum = 60/5

Therefore, the invested sum = 60 × 100/5 = Rs.1200
