Three men or eight boys can du a piece of work in 17 days. How many days will two men and six boys together take to finish the same work ?1). 9 days2). 11 days3). 14 days4). 12 days

Answer»

Solution

Given that , 3 men(M) or 8 boys(B) can do the work in 17 days i.e the CAPACITY of 3 men and 8 boys is same.
Hence,3M = 8B , which gives , M = $\FRAC{8}{3}$*B

We need to find , the time taken by 2M + 6B . Replacing M with $\frac{8}{3}$*B

we GET 2*$\frac{8}{3}$*B + 6B = $\frac{34}{3}$*B.
But as 8 boys can do the job in 17days , $\frac{34}{3}$ boys can do the same job in(18*7)$\frac{34}{3}$

= 12 days.

2 women and 10 children together take 8 days to complete a piece of work How many days will 10 children alone take to complete the piece of work if 8 women alone can complete the piece of work in 6 days ?1). 152). 123). 104). 24

Answer»

Solution

LET the speed of WOMEN be x and that of children be y. Let the PIECE of work be W.
2x + 10Y = W/8
8x = W/6
x = W/48
Hence, we get y= W/120
Speed of 1 CHILD = W/120
Speed of 10 children = W/12
Now time needed for them to complete = W/(W/12) =12days
Therefore, the correct option is B.

Two types of rice (type 1 and type 2) were mixed in the respective ratio of 1 : 3. The mixture was then sold @ 75.60 per kg to gain a profit of 20%. If the price of type 1 rice is Rs. 75 per kg, what is the price of type 2 price per kg?1). Rs. 552). Rs. 533). Rs. 594). Rs. 57

Answer»

Solution

Profit = 0.2 CP
Profit = SP - CP
1.2CP = SP
Hence, CP = (SP/1.2) = 75.6/1.2 = 63
Now, let the cost of type 1 rice is T1 and cost of type 2 be T2.
63 = $\frac{T1 + 3T2}{4}$
= (75 + 3*x)/4
x = 59
Therefore, cost of type 2 PRICE is 59.

Answer»

Solution

As the MILKMAN is making 25% profit on selling milk and water solution at Rs 15 , the Cost price of water and Milk solution is $\FRAC{15}{1.25}$ = Rs 12

let the amount of PURE milk be x litre and amount of water mixed with it be y litre.

So using , $\frac{16x}{x + y} = 12$

= $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{1}$

34.

Pure milk costs Rs. 16 per litre. After adding water the milkman sells the mixture at the rate of Rs. 15 per litre and thereby makes a profit. of 25%. In what respective ratio does he mix milk with water ?1). 3 : 12). 4 : 33). 3 : 24). 5 :3

Answer»

Solution

Profit = 25% HENCE effective Cost Price = Selling Price *$\frac{8}{10}$ or Selling Price - 20%
Thus Effective Cost Price = Rs 12 per litre

(It can be said that the farmer is adding the MILK EQUIVALENT of Effective Cost Price and Water equivalent of Initial - Effective Cost Price)
RATIO = $\frac{Effective Cost Price}{Initial - Effective Cost Price}$

Ratio = $\frac{12}{4}$ = 3:1

12.8% of 715 = ?1). 93.252). 91.153). 95.214). 97.21

Answer»

Solution

Option E:

There are a number of ways to calculate percentages. The common WAY of doing it is:

12.8% of 715 = $\FRAC{12.8}{100}$ $ \times 715 $ = $\frac{9152}{100}$ = 91.52

Alternatively, we can also do it in parts.

12.8% of 715 is same as 10% of 715 + 2% of 715 + 0.8% of 715

i.e. 71.5 + 14.3 (=1/5th of 10%) + 5.72 (=4/5th of 1%)

which gives 91.52

46.

Answer»

Solution

137% of 12345

=(100+37)% of 12345

$=12345+\frac{37}{100}\times12345$

=12345+4570

=16915

~17000

Hence, CORRECT ANSWER is OPTION A.
