Answers :
Directions (1 – 5):
Number of products produced by company B= 700*130/100= 910
Company A:
Number of keyboards produced by company A= 700*20/100= 140
Number of monitors produced by company A= 700/4= 175
Number of mouse produced by company A= 23*700/100= 161
Number of cameras produced by company A= 700- (140+175+161) = 224
Company B:
Monitors= 480-175= 305
Mouse= 40*910/100= 364
Camera= 10*910/100= 91
Keyboard= 910-(305+364+91) = 150
Defective mouse produced by both the companies= 20*525/100= 105
Defective keyboard produced by company A= 140*40/100= 56
1) Answer: B
Total cost of keyboard produced by company A= 450*140= Rs. 63000
Cost price of 56 keyboard= 56*450= Rs 25200
Loss incurred by selling defective keyboard
= > (450*10/100)*56= Rs 45*56= Rs. 2520
Cost price of remaining keyboard= 63000-25200= Rs. 37800
Selling price of remaining keyboard should be= 37800 + 2520 = Rs. 40320
2) Answer: C
Keyboard produced by company A= 140
Monitor produced by company B= 305
Difference in production= 305-140= 165
Required percentage= (165/305)*100 = 54%
3) Answer: E
Revenue generated by company A by selling mouse
= > 240*161*120/100
= > Rs. 46368
Revenue generated by company B by selling mouse
= > (300*364*120)/100
= > Rs. 131040
Required difference = 131040 – 46368 = Rs. 84672
4) Answer: B
Total defective mouse produced= 105
Defective mouse produced by company B= 105*(80/100) = 84
5) Answer: A
Let the cost of keyboard produced by company B be x
Markup price= x*120/100 = 6x/5
Selling price= 6x/5 * 90/100 = 27x/25
Profit= 27x/25 – x = 2x/25
So,
2x/25= 2400
x= 2400*25/2= Rs. 30000
Total keyboard produced by company B = 150
Cost price of each keyboard = 30000/150= Rs. 200
Directions (6-10) :
6) Answer: B
Let C takes x hours to fill the cistern,
According to the question:
4/24 + 4/x + 5/x + 5/30 = 1
= > 1/6 + 9/x + 1/6 = 1
= > 2/6 + 9/x = 1
= > 1/3 + 9/x = 1
= > 9/x = 1 – (1/3)
= > 9/x = 2/3
= > x = 27/2 = 13 ½ hours
C alone can fill the cistern in 13 ½ hours
7) Answer: D
Let D should be closed after x hours,
x/30 + x/45 + 20/45 = 1
=> (3x + 2x)/90 = 1 – (4/9)
=> 5x/90 = 5/9
=> x = 10 hours
D should be closed after 10 hours
8) Answer: D
C takes half of the time taken by F to fill the cistern
= > C : F = 1 : 2
F takes half of the time taken by B to fill the cistern
= > F : B = 1 : 2
The ratio of C, F and B taken to fill the cistern = 1 : 2 : 4 (x, 2x, 4x)
According to the question:
1/x + 1/2x + 1/4x = 1/48
= > (4 + 2 + 1)/4x = 1/48
= > 7/4x = 1/48
= > 4x = 48*7
= > x = 84 hours
Time taken by F to fill the cistern = 2*84 = 168 hours
9) Answer: B
Part of the tank filled in 2 hours = 1/24 + 1/30 = 3/40
= > Part of the tank filled in 26 hours = (3/40)*13 = 39/40
Remaining part = 1 – 39/40 = 1/40
Time taken by A to fill the remaining part,
= > (1/40)*24 = 3/5
Total time = 26 + 3/5 = 26 (3/5) hours
10) Answer: A
Let the time taken by F to fill the cistern be x,
According to the question,
(1/24) + (1/30) + (1/x) = (1/8)
(1/x) = (1/8) – [(1/24) + 1/30)]
(1/x) = (1/8) – (3/40)
(1/x) = 2/40
1/x = 1/20
F alone to fill the cistern is 20 hours
