Answers :
1) Answer: a)
7 years ago, the ratio of age of P and Q = 3: 5 (3x, 5x)
The difference between their age = 12 years
5x – 3x = 12
2x = 12
X = 6
The present age of P and Q = 3x + 7, 5x + 7 = 25, 37
The average present age of P, Q and R = 30 years
Total present age of P, Q and R = 30*3 = 90
P + Q + R = 90
25 + 37 + R = 90
R = 90 – 62 = 28
Required ratio = 40: 20 = 2: 1
2) Answer: c)
The share of A, B and C,
= > [50000*5 + 40000*7]: [36000*5 + 48000*7]: [42000*5 + 57000*7]
= > 530000: 516000: 609000
= > 530: 516: 609
Total profit = 1655’s = 132400
1’s = 80
The share of C = 609’s = Rs. 48720
3) Answer: d)
Two pipes can fill the cistern in one hour,
= > 1/12 + 1/15 = (12 + 15)/(12*15) = 3/20
Hence time taken to fill the cistern = 20/3 hours = 6 2/3 hours = 6 hours 40 minutes.
But due to leak it takes 20 min more.
Hence total time taken = 6 hours 40 minutes + 20 min = 7 hours
Let the leak take n hours to empty the cistern.
So, 1/12 + 1/15 – 1/n = 1/7
= > 3/20 – 1/n = 1/7
= > 1/n = 3/20 – 1/7 = 1/140
Hence the cistern will be emptied in 140 hours.
4) Answer: c)
If the interest compounded annually,
= > 30000*(10/100) = 3000
C.I = Rs. 3000
If the interest compounded half yearly,
= > 30000*(5/100) = 1500
= > 31500*(5/100) = 1575
C.I = 1500 + 1575 = Rs. 3075
Required difference = 3075 – 3000 = Rs. 75
5) Answer: b)
According to the question,
SP1 – CP = 3*(SP2 – CP)
724 – CP = 3*(560 – CP)
724 – CP = 1680 – 3CP
2CP = 956
CP = Rs. 478
MP = 478*(125/100) = Rs. 597.50
Direction (6-10) :
6) Answer: c)
Selling price of product P = Rs. 540
Marked price of product P = Rs. 720
Cost price of product P = 540*(100/120) = Rs. 450
Discount = MP – SP = 720 – 540 = Rs. 180
Discount % of product P = (Discount/MP)*100
= > (180/720)*100 = 25 %
Mark-up % of product P
= > CP*[(100 + Mark-up %)/100] = MP
= > 450*[(100 + Mark-up %)/100] = 720
= > 100 + Mark-up % = 72000/450
= > 100 + Mark-up % = 160
= > Mark-up % of product P = 60 %
Required difference = 60 – 25 = 35 %
7) Answer: a)
Cost price of product Q = Rs. 500
Selling price of Product Q
= > 500*(118/100) = Rs. 590
Marked price of product Q
= > 590*(100/94.4) = Rs. 625
Marked price of Product T
= > CP*[(100 + Mark-up %)/100]
= > 900*[(100 + 50)/100]
= > 900*(150/100) = Rs. 1350
Required sum = 625 + 1350 = Rs. 1975
8) Answer: d)
The cost price of product P
= > 540*(100/120) = Rs. 450
The selling price of product R
= > 780*(95/100) = Rs. 741
Required % = (741/450)*100 = 165 %
9) Answer: b)
The cost price of product P
= > CP*[(100 + Mark-up %)/100] = MP
= > CP = (720*100)/160 = Rs. 450
The cost price of product S
= > 854*(100/122) = Rs. 700
The total cost price of all the given products together
= > (450 + 500 + 650 + 700 + 900) = Rs. 3200
Required average = 3200/5 = Rs. 640
10) Answer: b)
Discount = Marked price – Selling price = 1067.50 – 854 = Rs. 213.50
Discount % = (Discount/MP)*100 = (213.50/1067.5)*100 = 20 %
