Directions (01 – 05): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.

Ram’s age 2 years ago and Bala’s age 5 years ago are in the ratio 6: 5. The sum of their ages is 95, as Ram is (A) years old and Bala is (B) years old. Ram and Bala decided to keep them young by doing swimming. Ram swims 20 km upstream and returns back where current speed is 5 kmph. Swimming in upstream takes 1 hour more than downstream. Bala swims in still water at (C) kmph which is twice that of Ram. While coming back from swimming pool, they sell their cycles at a profit of (D)% after giving a discount of 10% and the markup is 25%.

The profit earned is lent at a rate of 4% compounded annually for 2 years which amounts to 43264. The same principal is lent at 15% simple interest for 2 years. So the simple interest is (E).

After reaching home, they decided to enter into partnership. Ram invests Rs.900 for 6 months and Bala invests (F) for the whole year. At the end of one year the profit ratio of Ram and Bala is 15: 13.

Answers :

Directions (1-5) :

1) Answer: D

5x + 5 + 6x + 2 = 95

x = 8

Ram: 6x + 2 = 50

Bala: 5x + 5 = 45

2) Answer: D

20/(x – 5) – 20/(x + 5) = 1

x= 225

x = 15

2x = 30 kmph

3) Answer: D

Let us take cost price of the bicycle be Rs.100

MP = 100 * 125/100 = Rs.125

SP = 125 * (100 – 10)/100 = Rs.112.5

Required percentage = (112.5 – 100)/100 * 100 = 12.5%

4) Answer: D

Amount = P (1 + R/100)2

43264 = P (1 + 4/100)2

43264 * 100/104 * 100/104 = 40000

Simple interest = PNR/100

= (40000 * 15 * 2)/100 = Rs.12000

5) Answer: D

Profit ratio of Ram and Bala = (900 * 6)/(x * 12) = 15/13

x = 390

Directions (6-10) :

6) Answer: D

R = 15 + 5 = 20%

Amount = P (1 + (R/2)/100)(2n)

= 40000 * (1 + 10/100)4

= 40000 * 110/100 * 110/100 * 110/100 * 110/100

= 58564

7) Answer: A

Difference between CI and SI for 2 years = PR2/100= 125

50000 * R2/10000 = 125

R = 5%

Amount = P (1 + (R)/100)n

= 50000 * 105/100 * 105/100 * 105/100 = 57881.25

Compound interest = 57881.25 – 50000 = 7881.25

8) Answer: C

N = 4, 640 * 4 = 2560

P = 6560 – 2560 = 4000

R = 100 * 640/4000 * 1 = 16%

10) Answer: D

SI:

P = 38000

SI = PNR/100

38000 * 2 * R/100 = 5320

R = 7%

CI:

P = 38000

P + CI = P * [1 + r/100]2

38000 + 7980 = 38000 * [1 + r/100]2

[1 + r/100]2 = 45980/38000 = 121/100

1 + r/100 = 11/10

= > r = 10%
