Answers :
Directions (1-5):
From paragraph 1,
Distance between Shivani’s home and shopping = 120 km
Let us take boat’s speed be x km/hr
Speed of the stream = 10 km/hr
Let the time taken to reach shopping mall in downstream be t hours
120/ (x+10) = t —– (1)
If she increased her boat’s speed by 50%, she would able to reach 1 hour earlier
Boat’s new speed = x * 150/100 = 3x/2 km/hr
Then,
120/(3x/2 + 10) = t-1 —- (2)
Substitute t’s value in equation (2), we get
120/(3x/2 + 10) = [120/ (x+10)] -1
120/(x+10) – 120/(3x/2 + 10) = 1
120 [(3x/2 + 10) – (x +10)]/[(x+10)*(3x/2 +10)] = 1
120 [(3x/2 + 10) – (x +10)] = [(x+10)*(3x/2 +10)]
120*[(3x + 20 – 2x – 20)/2] = 3x2/2 + 50x/2 + 100
120x/2 = 3x2/2 + 50x/2 + 200/2
120x = 3x2 + 50x + 200
= > 3x2 – 70x + 200 = 0
= > 3x2 – 60x – 10x + 200 = 0
= > 3x (x – 20) – 10 (x – 20) =0
= > (3x – 10) (x – 20) =0
= > x = 20 and 10/3 (Eliminate (10/3) because boat’s speed always greater than the stream’s speed)
Substitute the value of x in equation (1), we get
120/ (20 + 10) = t
120/30 = t
4 = t
Shivani reach the shopping mall at 7.30 + 4 hrs = 11.30 am
From paragraph 2,
Let us take the labeled price of an article be Rs. x
Selling price in shop 1, = x * 80/100
Selling price in shop 2, = x * 75/100
If she had bought it in that shop, she would be able to save Rs.50
(x*80/100) – (x*75/100) = 50
5x/100 = 50
= > x = (50/5)*100
= > x = Rs.1000
Then the labeled price of an article is Rs.1000
From paragraph 3,
She spends 2 hours in the shopping mall, and then she started to return 11.30 + 2 hrs = 1.30 pm.
Boat’s new speed = 20 * 275/100 = 55 km/hr
Stream’s new speed = 10 * 150/100 = 15 km/hr
Upstream speed = 55 – 15 = 40 km/hr
Time to returns her home,
= > 120/40
= > 3 hours
Shivani returns her home = 1.30 + 3 hrs = 4.30 pm
From paragraph 4,
Ratio of Milk to water = 66 (2/3): 33 (1/3)
= 200/3: 100/3
= 2: 1
From that, Shivani uses 15 litres of mixture to make Khoa and again she asks her husband to buy 2 litres of milk. She adds 3 litres of water in the mixture. If the ratio of milk and water in the final mixture is 16: 9
From the above statement we conclude,
(2x-10+2)/(x-5+3) =16/9
(2x-8)*9 = (x-2)*16
= > 18x – 72 = 16x – 32
= > 2x = 72 – 32 = 40
= > x = 20 litres
Initial quantity of milk = 2 * 20 = 40 litres
From paragraph 5,
In scheme A,
Let us take the equal sum be Rs.x
Interest received in scheme A,
= > [(3x/5 * 24*2)/100] + [(2x/5 *18*2)/100]
= > 144x/500 + 72x/500
= > 216x/500
In scheme B,
Three –eighth of the sum = 3x/8
Remaining = x – 3x/8 = 5x/8
Three-fifth of the remaining = 5x/8 * 3/5 = 3x/8
Remaining = x – 3x/8 – 3x/8
= (8x-3x-3x)/8
= 2x/8 = x/4
Interest received in scheme B,
= [3x/8 *(1+20/100)2 + 3x/8*(1+10/100)2 + x/4 *(1+R/100)2] – x
= [3x/8 * 36/25 + 3x/8 * 121/100 + x/4* (1+R/100)2]–x
= 27x/50 + 363x/800 –x + x/4 *(1+R/100)2
= (432x+363x-800x)/800 + x/4 *(1+R/100)2
= x/4 *(1+R/100)2 – 5x/800
Difference of interest received in scheme A and B,
216x/500 – x/4 *(1+R/100)2 + 5x/800 = 1905 —- (3)
1) Answer: c)
Shivani reach the shopping mall at 7.30 + 4 hrs = 11.30 am
2) Answer: b)
Shivani returns her home = 1.30 + 3 hrs = 4.30 pm
3) Answer: a)
Interest for two years when compounded half yearly, r = 36/2 = 18%
According to the question,
= > x*(1 + R/100)2 – x = 15696
= > x*[(1 + 18/100)2 – 1] = 15696
= > x*((118/100)*(118/100)) – 1) = 15696
= > x*[(3481/2500) – 1] = 15696
= > x = 15696 * (2500/981)
= > x = Rs. 40000
If we substitute the value of x in equation (3), we get
216x/500 – (x/4) *(1+R/100)2 + 5x/800 = 1905
(216 * 40000)/500 – (40000/4) *(1 + R/100)2 + (5*40000)/800= 1905
17280 – 10000 *(1 + R/100)2 + 250 = 1905
17280 + 250 -1905 = 10000 *(1 + R/100)2
15625/10000 = (1 + R/100)2
125/100 = 1 + R/100
125 = 100 +R
R = 25%
4) Answer: d)
Initial quantity of milk = 2 * 20 = 40 litres
5) Answer: e)
Then the labeled price of an article is Rs.1000
6) Answer: e)
Let us take income of Mahesh be x
Amount spent for medicine = 2/9 * (x-50/100*x) = 4000
= > 2/9 * (50x/100) = 4000
= > 2/9 * x/2 = 4000
= > x/9 = 4000
= > x = 36000
Income of Raju = 36000 * 75/100
= 27000
Income of Suresh = 27000/27 * 22
= 22000
From I:
According to the question,
= > (27000 – 2000)/(22000-2000)
= > 25000/20000
= > 5/4
This is satisfies the given condition.
From II:
According to the question,
= > (27000 – 3000)/(22000-2800)
= > 24000/19200
= > 5/4
This is satisfies the given condition.
From III:
According to the question,
= > (27000 – 7000)/(22000-6000)
= > 20000/16000
= > 5/4
This is satisfies the given condition.
7) Answer: a)
From I:
Quantity of milk in the initial mixture = (7/12) x 96 = 56 litres
Quantity of water in the initial mixture = (5/12) x 96 = 40 litres
After selling 48 litres and adding 12 litres milk and 10 litres water to the remaining mixture:
Quantity of Milk in 48 litres = 48 * (7/12) = 28 litres
Quantity of Water in 48 litres = 48 * (5/12) = 20 litres
Quantity of milk after the replacement = 56 – 28 + 12
= 28 + 12 = 40 litres
Quantity of water after replacement = 40 – 20 + 10
= 20 + 10 = 30 litres
Total mixture = 70 litres
Milk: water = 40: 30 = 4:3
After selling 28 litres of the mixture and adding six litres of milk to the remaining mixture:
Quantity of milk in 28 litres = 28 * (4/7) = 16 litres
Quantity of water in 28 litres = 28 * (3/7) = 12 litres
Quantity of milk after replacement= 40 – 16 + 6
= 24 + 6 = 30 litres
Quantity of water after replacement= 30 – 12 = 18 litres
Ratio of milk and water in the final mixture = 30/18 = 5/3
This is satisfies the given condition.
From II:
Quantity of milk in the initial mixture = (7/12) x 216 = 126 litres
Quantity of water in the initial mixture = (5/12) x 216 = 90 litres
After selling 48 litres and adding 12 litres milk and 10 litres water to the remaining mixture:
Quantity of Milk in 48 litres = 48 * (7/12) = 28 litres
Quantity of Water in 48 litres = 48 * (5/12) = 20 litres
Quantity of milk after the replacement = 126 – 28 + 12
= 98 + 12
= 110 litres
Quantity of water after replacement = 90 – 20 + 10
= 70 + 10
= 80 litres
Total mixture = 190 litres
Milk: water = 110: 80 = 11: 8
After selling 38 litres of the mixture and adding six litres of milk to the remaining mixture:
Quantity of milk in 38 litres = 38 * (11/19) = 22 litres
Quantity of water in 38 litres = 38 * (8/19) = 16 litres
Quantity of milk after replacement= 110 – 22 + 6
= 88 + 6 = 94 litres
Quantity of water after replacement= 80 – 16 = 64 litres
Ratio of milk and water in the final mixture = 94/64 = 47/32
This is not satisfies the given condition.
From III:
Quantity of milk in the initial mixture = (7/12) x 144 = 84 litres
Quantity of water in the initial mixture = (5/12) x 144 = 60 litres
After selling 48 litres and adding 12 litres milk and 10 litres water to the remaining mixture:
Quantity of Milk in 48 litres = 48 * (7/12) = 28 litres
Quantity of Water in 48 litres = 48 * (5/12) = 20 litres
Quantity of milk after the replacement = 84 – 28 + 12
= 56 + 12 = 68 litres
Quantity of water after replacement = 60 – 20 + 10
= 40 + 10 = 50 litres
Total mixture = 118 litres
Milk: water = 68: 50 = 34: 25
After selling 59 litres of the mixture and adding six litres of milk to the remaining mixture:
Quantity of milk in 59 litres = 59 * 34/59 = 34 litres
Quantity of water in 59 litres = 59 * 25/59 = 25 litres
Quantity of milk after replacement= 68 – 34 + 6
= 34 + 6 = 40 litres
Quantity of water after replacement= 50 – 25 = 25 litres
Ratio of milk and water in the final mixture = 40/25 = 8/5
This is not satisfies the given condition.
8) Answer: e)
From I:
Distance between station P and station R = 440 x 2 = 880 Km
Distance travelled by train A in 5 hours = 28 x 5 = 140 Km
Distance travelled by train B in 5 hours = 32 x 5 = 160 Km
Required distance = 880 – 140 – 160
= 880 – 300
= 580 Km
This is satisfies the given condition.
From II:
Distance between station P and station R = 440 x 2 = 880 Km
Distance travelled by train A in 5 hours = 40 x 5 = 200 Km
Distance travelled by train B in 5 hours = 20 x 5 = 100 Km
Required distance = 880 – 200 – 100
= 880 – 300
= 580 Km
This is satisfies the given condition.
From III:
Distance between station P and station R = 440 x 2 = 880 Km
Distance travelled by train A in 5 hours = 25 x 5 = 125 Km
Distance travelled by train B in 5 hours = 35 x 5 = 175 Km
Required distance = 880 – 125 – 175
= 880 – 300
= 580 Km
This is satisfies the given condition.
9) Answer: e)
From I:
Cost price of the two article for Tina = 4000*2 = Rs. 8000
Selling price of two article = 4000 x 120/100 + 4000 x 90/100
= 4800 + 3600
= Rs.8400 = cost price of the refrigerator
Marked price of the refrigerator = 8400 x 120/100 = Rs.10800
Selling price of the refrigerator = 10800 x 90/100 = Rs.9072
% profit = [(9072 – 8000)/8000] x 100
= 1072/8000 x 100
= 13.4%
This is not satisfies the given condition.
From II:
Cost price of the two article for Tina = 4800 x 2 = rs.9600
Selling price of two article = 4800 x 120/100 + 4800 x 90/100
= 5760 + 4320
= Rs.10080 = cost price of the refrigerator
Marked price of the refrigerator = 10080 x 125/100 = Rs.12600
Selling price of the refrigerator = 12600 x 90/100 = Rs.11340
% profit = [(11340 – 9600)/9600] x 100
= (1740/9600) x 100
= 18.125%
This is satisfies the given condition.
From III:
Cost price of the two article for Tina = 6000 x 2 = Rs.12000
Selling price of two article = 6000 x 120/100 + 6000 x 90/100
= 7200 + 5400
= Rs.12600 = cost price of the refrigerator
Marked price of the refrigerator = 12600 x 125/100 = Rs.15750
Selling price of the refrigerator = 15750 x 90/100 = Rs.14175
% profit = (14175 – 12000)/12000 x 100
= 2175/12000 x 100
= 18.125%
This is satisfies the given condition.
10) Answer: d)
