Directions (4-6) :
4) Answer: B
(P + S)’s 1 day work = 1/12 + 1/18 = 30/(12*18) = 5/36
(P + S)’s 4 days work = (5/36) * 4 = 5/9
Remaining work = 1 – (5/9) = 4/9
Given,
(4/9) * (S + A)’s whole work = 8/3
(S + A)’s whole work = (8/3) * (9/4) = 6 days
A’s 1 day work = (1/6) – (1/18) = 1/9
A alone can complete the work in 9 days.
5) Answer: C
Statement I:
Part of work completed by R = (1500/4500) = 1/3
R worked for, (1/3) * 30 = 10 days
(Q + R)’s 1 day work = (1/24) + (1/30) = 54/(24 * 30)
(Q + R)’s 10 days work = [54/(24 * 30)] * 10 = ¾
Remaining work = 1 – ¾ = ¼
Given,
(1/4) * 24 = 6 days
Required number of days = 10 + 6 = 16 days
Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
Statement II:
Q’s per day work = 1/24
R’s per day work = 1/30
LCM of 24 and 30 = 120 units
Total work = 120 units
Q’s per day work = 120/24 = 5 units
R’s per day work = 120/30 = 4 units
Let the number of days Q and R worked is 8x and 5x respectively,
According to the question,
8x * 5 + 5x * 4 = 120
40x + 20x = 120
60x = 120
x = 2
Required number of days
= > (8 * 2 – 5 * 2) + (5 * 2)
= > (16 – 10) + 10 = 16 days
Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
6) Answer: A
(R + T)’s 1 day work
= > (1/30) + (1/25) = 55/(30 * 25)
= > 11/150
(R + T)’s 10 days work
= > (11/150) * 10 = 11/15
Remaining work = 1 – (11/15) = 4/15
Given,
(4/15) * (A + T)’s whole work = 40/9
(A + T)’s whole work = (40/9) * (15/4) = 50/3
A’s 1 day work = (3/50) – (1/25) = 1/50
A alone can complete the work in 50 days.
Directions (7-10) :
7) Answer: A
Quantity I:
Let the principle is 1
Interest = 22 2/9% = 2/9
Amount = 1 + 2/9 = 11/9
1st year amount = 27000* (11/9) = 33000
Let the principle is 1
Interest = 16 2/3% = 1/6
Amount = 1 + 1/6 = 7/6
2nd year amount = 33000*(7/6) = 38500
Quantity II:
The cost price of car = 2560000
Selling price of car = (94/100) * 2560000 = 2406400
The cost price of each bike = 2406400/2 = 1203200
Selling price of first bike = {(100 + 10)/100} * 1203200
= {(110)/100} * 1203200Â = 1323520
Selling price of second bike = {(100 + 5)/100} * 1203200
= {(105)/100} * 1203200Â = 1263360
The total selling price of both the bikes = 1323520 + 1263360 = 2586880
Profit = Total selling price of both the bikes – cost price of the car
Profit = 2586880 – 2560000
Profit = 26880
Quantity I > Quantity II
8) Answer: C
Quantity I: The initial investment ratio of A and B = 2: 5 (for 4 months)
Let the initial investment of A and B is 2x and 5x respectively.
Then, C’s investment after 4 months = 5x (same as initial investment of B)
Investment * time
A: B: C = 24x: 40x: 40x
Ratio of profit = 3: 5: 5
Let the profit of A, B and C is 3k, 5k and 5k respectively.
Profit of B = 5k = Rs. 4000
k = Rs. 800
Therefore, the total profit of A and C = (3k + 5k) = 8k =8 * 800 = Rs. 6400Â
Quantity II: The ratio of investment of A, B and C is 3: 4: 7.
Ratio of total profit of A, B and C (including B’s Rs.9000 for managing the business) = (3: 4: 7) * 2 = 6: 9: 14
Ratio of profit of A, B, and C (excluding B’s Rs. 9000 for managing the business)
3: 4: 7 = (3: 4: 7) * 2 = 6: 8: 14
Amount received by B for managing the business = 9000
9’s – 8’s = 9000
1’s = 9000
Profit obtained by A = 6’s = 6 * 9000 = Rs. 54000
Quantity II > Quantity I
9) Answer: C
Quantity I: Let the marked price of a pen = 5x and marked price of pencil
= 4x
Given, MP of pencil = MP of pen – 3
4x = 5x – 3
x = 3
MP of each pen = 5 * 3 = 15
MP of each pencil = 4 * 3 = 12
And let the number of pen bought = 3y and number of pencils bought = 5y
CP of each pen for Atul = 15 * {(100 – 10)/100} = 15 * (90/100) = 13.5
CP of each pencil for Atul = 12 * {100 – 25)/100} = 12 * (75/100) = 9
Expenditure on pens = 13.5 * 3y = 40.5y
Expenditure on pencils = 9 * 5y = 45y
Total expenditure = 40.5y + 45y = 85.5y = 342
y = 4
Number of pencils bought by Atul = 5y = 5 * 4 = 20Â
Quantity II: Daughter’s age = 28 * (1/4) = 7
Sum of mother’s and father’s present age = 7 * (7/1) = 49
Mother’s present age = 49 – 28 = 21 years
Quantity II > Quantity I
10) Answer: C
Quantity I:
Let the speed of boat in still water = 7x and speed of stream = x
Upstream speed = 7x – x = 6x
Downstream speed = 7x + x = 8x
ATQ,
(67.5)/8x = 2.25
(67.5)/2.25 = 8x
30 = 8x
x = 3.75
Upstream speed = 6x = 6*3.75 = 22.5km/hr
Quantity II:
Speed of boat upstream = 112/8 = 14km/h
Speed of boat downstream = 1.9*14 = 26.6km/h
Speed of boat in still water = (Upstream speed +Downstream speed)/2
= (26.6+14)/2 = 20.3km/h
Quantity I > Quantity II
