If the length of line to be laid each year is in proportion to the estimated cost for material and labour, what fraction of the total length is proposed to be completed by the third year?1). 0.92). 0.73). 0.64). 0.3

Answer»

Cost of materials = cost of (cement + steel + BRICKS + other building materials)

Cost of materials + Cost of labour for 1st year = 0 + 2.1 = 2.1 lakhs

Cost of materials + Cost of labour for 2nd year = 95 + 70 + 15 + 25 + 25 = 230 lakhs

Cost of materials + Cost of labour for 3rd year = 80 + 45 + 12 + 18 + 20 = 175 lakhs

Cost of materials + Cost of labour for 4th year = 75 + 60 + 16 + 21 + 18 = 190 lakhs

Given, length of line to be laid each year is in PROPORTION to the estimated cost for material and labour.

∴ Portion of the total length completed by 3rd year $(= \frac{{2.1 + 230 + 175}}{{2.1 + 230 + 175 + 190}})$

= 0.68 ≈ 0.7
2.

If the cost of materials rises by 5% each year from 1990 onwards, by how much will the estimated cost rise? (approximately)1). Rs. 11.4 lakh2). Rs. 16.4 lakh3). Rs. 21.4 lakh4). Rs. 26.4 lakh

Answer»

Total cost of materials = cost of (cement + steel + bricks + other BUILDING materials)

Estimated cost of materials for 1990 = 80 + 45 + 12 + 18 = 155 lakhs

Estimated cost of materials for 1991 = 75 + 60 + 16 + 21 = 172 lakhs

Given, cost of materials RISES by 5% each year from 1990 onwards.

∴ Actual cost of materials in 1990 = 155 + 5% of 155 = 162.75 lakhs

Actual cost of materials in 1991 = 172 + 5% of 172 = 180.6 lakhs

∴ Increase in estimated cost = (162.75 + 180.6) – (155 + 172) = 16.35 lakhs ≈ 16.4 lakhs

Answer»

<P>Runs scored by P in form of 3’s = 81 – (23 × 1 + 3 × 2 + 4 × 4 + 4 × 6) = 12

Number of 6’s scored by R = 2

∴ Percentage by which runs scored by P in form of 3’s is greater than number of 6’s scored by R = ((12 – 2)/2) × 100 = 500%

4.

By how much is sales of P in 2016 is less than that of S?1). 108002). 110003). 112284). 11616

Answer»

<P>Sales of P in 2016 = 12000 × (1 + 10/100) × (1 + 20/100) × (1 + 10/100) = 17424

Sales of S in 2016 = 29040

Sales of P is LESS than S by (29040 – 17424) = 11616

Answer»

Bonus distribution in HIGH level management of Account, ADMINISTRATION and security together = 2.5 × (8/100) + 6.5 × (15/100) + 4.7 × (15/100) = 1.88 LAKHS

Distribution of bonus to Payroll department = 30 – (6.5 + 3.4 + 2.5 + 5.2 + 4.2 + 4.7) = 3.5 lakhs

Distribution of bonus in Middle level management of FINANCE, Payroll and security together = 5.2 × (25/100) + 3.5 × (22/100) + 4.7 × (25/100) = 3.245 lakhs

Difference = 3.245 – 1.88 = 1.365 lakhs

Answer»

Total books in SPANISH = 8100

Sum of ratios = 4 + 3 + 2 = 9

No. of medical books in Spanish = (3/9) × 8100 = 2700

No. of other books in Spanish = (2/9) × 8100 = 1800

Total books in French = 33600

Sum of ratios = 7 + 5 + 4 = 16

No. of medical books in French = (5/16) × 33600 = 10500

No. of other books in French = (4/16) × 33600 = 8400

Hence,

Total medical books in both languages = 2700 + 10500 = 13200

Total other books in both languages = 1800 + 8400 = 10200

∴ Required ratio = 13200 ? 10200 = 22 ? 17

Answer»

Total no. of HR,

⇒ 2100 + 2000 + 1800 + 1500 + 1200

⇒ 8600

Let, total no. of employee on Sunday = a

According to PROBLEM,

⇒ a × 35/100 = 2100

⇒ a = 6000

∴ No. of MD and CEO on Sunday = 6000 - 2100 = 3900

Ratio of MD and CEO on Sunday = 1 ? 2

∴ No. of CEO on Sunday = 3900 × 2/3 = 2600

Let, total no. of employee on Saturday = b

According to problem,

$(\Rightarrow b \times 33\frac{1}{3}/100 = 2000)$

⇒ b × 100/300 = 2000

⇒ b = 6000

∴ No. of MD and CEO on Saturday = 6000 - 2000 = 4000

Ratio of MD and CEO on Saturday = 3 ? 7

∴ No. of CEO on Saturday = 4000 × 7/10 = 2800

Let, total no. of employee on Monday = C

According to problem,

$(\Rightarrow c \times 37\frac{1}{2}/100 = 1800)$

⇒ c × 75/200 = 1800

⇒ c = 4800

∴ No. of MD and CEO on Monday = 4800 - 1800 = 3000

Ratio of MD and CEO on Monday = 7 ? 8

∴ No. of CEO on Monday = 3000 × 8/15 = 1600

Let, total no. of employee on Tuesday = d

According to problem,

⇒ d × 30/100 = 1500

⇒ d = 5000

∴ No. of MD and CEO on Tuesday = 5000 - 1500 = 3500

Ratio of MD and CEO on Tuesday = 3 ? 4

∴ No. of CEO on Tuesday = 3500 × 4/7 = 2000

Let, total no. of employee on Friday = x

According to problem,

⇒ x × 25/100 = 1200

⇒ x = 4800

∴ No. of MD and CEO on Friday = 4800 - 1200 = 3600

Ratio of MD and CEO on Friday = 1 ? 1

∴ No. of CEO on Friday = 3600 × 1/2 = 1800

∴ Total no. of CEO,

⇒ 2600 + 2800 + 1600 + 2000 + 1800

⇒ 10800

∴ Required difference,

⇒ 10800 - 8600

⇒ 2200

Answer»

To complete the work X,

B’s 1 day work = 1/30

C’s 1 day work = 1/24

D’s 1 day work = 1/12

Now, ratio of their WAGES = ratio of their work efficiencies

⇒ Ratio of their wages = 1/30 ? 1/24 ? 1/12 = 4 ? 5 ? 10

C’s SHARE = RS. 1520

Now, B’s share ? C’s share = 4 ? 5

⇒ B’s share = (4/5) × 1520 = Rs. 1216

Also, C’s share ? D’s share = 5 ? 10 = 1 ? 2

⇒ D’s share = 2 × 1520 = Rs. 3040

∴ B & D will receive Rs. 1216 and Rs. 3040 respectively

Initially B works alone for five days then C joins and after three more days A joins and B leaves, in how many was the work completed?1). \(30\frac{{14}}{{39}}\) days2). \(36\frac{{19}}{{39}}\) days3). \(33\frac{{20}}{{39}}\) days4). \(34\frac{{21}}{{39}}\) days

Answer»

Initially B works alone for FIVE DAYS

B’s one day work = $(\frac{1}{{60}})$

∴ Work done $(= 5 \times \;\frac{1}{{60}} = \frac{1}{{12}})$

∴ Work left $(= 1 - \frac{1}{{12}} = \frac{{11}}{{12}})$

C joins and B and C work for three days

C’s one day work = $(\frac{1}{{80}})$

B and C’s one day work = $(\frac{1}{{60}} + \;\frac{1}{{80}} = \;\frac{7}{{240}})$

∴ Work done $(= 3 \times \frac{7}{{240}} = \frac{7}{{80}})$

∴ Work left $(= \frac{{11}}{{12}} - \frac{7}{{80}} = \frac{{199}}{{240}})$

After three more days A joins and B leaves, A and C work together

A and C’s one day work = $(\frac{1}{{50}} + \frac{1}{{80}} = \frac{{13}}{{400}})$

Work left = $(\frac{{199}}{{240}})$

∴ Days TAKEN to complete the remaining work $(= \frac{{199}}{{240}} \times \frac{{400}}{{13}} = \frac{{995}}{{39}})$

∴ Total number of days $(= 5 + 3 + \;\frac{{995}}{{39}} = 33\frac{{20}}{{39}})$ days

Consider two situations, in first situation A and E work together for ten days then C joins and after five days E leaves. In second situation B and D work together for six days, then A and E joins and B leaves, after two days A leaves. What is the difference between the total number of days taken in both the situations?1). \(18\frac{7}{{13}}\) days2). \(22\frac{{11}}{{13}}\) days3). \(11\frac{8}{{13}}\) days4). \(15\frac{9}{{13}}\) days

Answer»

First situation

A and E work together for ten days

A and E’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{50}} + \;\frac{1}{{75}} = \frac{1}{{30}})$

Work done $(= 10 \times \frac{1}{{30}} = \frac{1}{3})$

Work left $(= 1 - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3})$

Then C joins, A, C and E work together for five days

A, C and E’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{50}} + \frac{1}{{80}} + \frac{1}{{75}} = \frac{{11}}{{240}})$

Work done $(= 5 \times \frac{{11}}{{240}} = \frac{{11}}{{48}})$

Work left $(= \frac{2}{3}\;-\;\frac{{11}}{{48}} = \frac{7}{{16}})$

After that A and C work together 

A and C’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{50}} + \frac{1}{{80}} = \frac{{13}}{{400}})$

Work left = $(\frac{7}{{16}})$

∴ Days taken to complete the REMAINING work $(= \frac{7}{{16}} \times \frac{{400}}{{13}} = \frac{{175}}{{13}})$

Total days = $(10 + 5 + \frac{{175}}{{13}} = 28\frac{6}{{13}})$ days

Second situation

B and D work together for SIX days

B and D’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{60}} + \frac{1}{{150}} = \frac{7}{{300}})$

Work done $(= 6 \times \frac{7}{{300}} = \frac{7}{{50}})$

∴ Work left $(= 1 - \frac{7}{{50}} = \frac{{43}}{{50}})$

Then A and E joins and B LEAVES, means A, D and E work together

A, D and E’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{50}} + \frac{1}{{150}} + \frac{1}{{75}} = \frac{1}{{25}})$

Work done $(= 2 \times \frac{1}{{25}} = \frac{2}{{25}})$

Work left $(= \frac{{43}}{{50}} - \frac{2}{{25}} = \frac{{39}}{{50}})$

 After TWO days A leaves, now D and E work

D and E’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{150}} + \frac{1}{{75}} = \frac{1}{{50}})$

Work left = $(\frac{{39}}{{50}})$

∴ Days taken to complete the remaining work $(= \frac{{39}}{{50}} \times \frac{{50}}{1} = 39)$

Total days = 6 + 2 + 39 = 47

Difference in days in both situations $(= 47 - \frac{{370}}{{13}} = \frac{{241}}{{13}} = 18\frac{7}{{13}})$ days

Answer»

In 2017,

No. of students appeared in 12th = 37872 + 1831 + 33161 + 769 = 73633

No. of students appeared in 10th = 94957 + 1813 + 77765 + 764 = 175299

Total no. of students appeared in 12th and 10th = 73633 + 175299 = 248932

Total no. of students registered in 12th and 10th = 256304

Total no. of students that did not appear = 256304 – 248932 = 7372

∴ Required PERCENTAGE = (7372/256304) × 100 = 2.88%

Answer»

Let, total no. of employee on SUNDAY = a

According to problem,

⇒ a × 35/100 = 2100

⇒ a = 6000

∴ No. of MD and CEO on Sunday = 6000 - 2100 = 3900

Ratio of MD and CEO on Sunday = 1 ? 2

∴ No. of CEO on Sunday = 3900 × 2/3 = 2600

Let, total no. of employee on Saturday = b

According to problem,

⇒ b × 33.33 × 1/100 = 2000

⇒ b = 6000

∴ No. of MD and CEO on Saturday = 6000 - 2000 = 4000

Ratio of MD and CEO on Saturday = 3 ? 7

∴ No. of MD on Saturday = 4000 × 3/10 = 1200

Let, total no. of employee on Monday = C

According to problem,

⇒ c × (75/200) = 1800

⇒ c = 4800

∴ No. of MD and CEO on Monday = 4800 - 1800 = 3000

Ratio of MD and CEO on Monday = 7 ? 8

∴ No. of CEO on Monday = 3000 × 8/15 = 1600

Let, total no. of employee on Tuesday = d

According to problem,

⇒ d × 30/100 = 1500

⇒ d = 5000

∴ No. of MD and CEO on Tuesday = 5000 - 1500 = 3500

Ratio of MD and CEO on Tuesday = 3 ? 4

∴ No. of MD on Tuesday = 3500 × 3/7 = 1500

∴ Total number of MD on Saturday and CEO on Monday together,

⇒ 1200 + 1600

⇒ 2800

∴ Total number of MD on Tuesday and CEO on Sunday together,

⇒ 1500 + 2600

⇒ 4100

∴ Required Percentage,

⇒ (4100 - 2800)/4100 × 100%

⇒ 31.70% less

If initially C and D work together for eight days and after that A joins them, they all work four days, after which B joins and c leaves, in how many total days was the assignment completed?1). \(25\frac{{10}}{{13}}\) days2). \(29\frac{9}{{13}}\) days3). \(24\frac{{11}}{{13}}\) days4). \(27\frac{{12}}{{13}}\) days

Answer»

Initially C and D work together for eight DAYS

C’s one day work = $(\frac{1}{{80}})$

D’s one day work = $(\frac{1}{{150}})$

C and D’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{80}} + \frac{1}{{150}} = \frac{{23}}{{1200}})$

∴ Work done $(= 8 \times \frac{{23}}{{1200}} = \frac{{23}}{{150}})$

∴ Work left $(= 1 - \frac{{23}}{{150}} = \frac{{127}}{{150}})$

After that A joins them, they all work four days,

A, C and D’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{50}} + \frac{1}{{80}} + \frac{1}{{150}} = \frac{{47}}{{1200}})$

Work done $(= 4 \times \frac{{47}}{{1200}} = \frac{{47}}{{300}})$

Work left $(= \frac{{127}}{{150}} - \frac{{47}}{{300}} = \frac{{69}}{{100}})$

After which B joins and C LEAVES, in how MANY total days was the assignment completed

A, B and D’s one day work $(= \frac{1}{{50}} + \frac{1}{{60}} + \frac{1}{{150}} = \frac{{13}}{{300}})$

Work left $(= \frac{{69}}{{100}})$

∴ Days taken to complete the REMAINING work $(= \frac{{69}}{{100}} \times \frac{{300}}{{13}} = \frac{{207}}{{13}})$

∴ Total days taken $(= 8 + 4 + \;\frac{{207}}{{13}} = 27\frac{{12}}{{13}})$ days

It is found at the end of 1990, that the entire amount estimated for the project has been spent. If for 1991, the actual amount spent was equal to that which was estimated, by what percent (approximately) has the actual expenditure exceeded the estimated expenditure?1). 392). 293). 194). 9

Answer»

TOTAL expenditure in the year 1988 = 52.1 lakhs

Total expenditure in the year 1989 = 267.5 lakhs

Total expenditure in the year 1990 = 196.4 lakhs

Total expenditure in the year 1991 = 209.5 lakhs

Total estimated expenditure in 4 years = 52.1 + 267.5 + 196.4 + 209.5 = 725.5 lakhs

Given, it is FOUND at the end of 1990, that the ENTIRE amount estimated for the PROJECT has been SPENT.

∴ 725.5 lakhs is spent at the end of 1990.

Now, for 1991, the actual amount spent was equal to that which was estimated.

∴ % spent over the estimated value $(= \frac{{209.5}}{{725.5}} \times 100\% = 28.8\% \approx 29\%)$

Answer»

No. of BOOKS in German = 22500

No. of books in Japanese = (100 – 82)% of 22500 = 0.18 × 22500 = 4050

No. of journals in Russian = 240

No. of journals in Japanese = (100 + 65)% of 240 = 1.65 × 240 = 396

No. of THESIS in other languages = 10

No. of thesis in Japanese = 40% of 10 = 4

Hence, total collection in Japanese = 4050 + 396 + 4 = 4450

Total collection in other languages = 20320 + 1920 + 10 = 22250

∴ Required percentage = (4450/22250) × 100 = 20%

Note: Some variables are missing, you have to find the missing values on the basis of given information. Calculate simple interest unless specified. All questions are independent from others.If the interest received by Anita is 20% of the sum invested by her then find how much more money as interest she would have earned if she had invested the money in compound interest?1). Rs. 6002). Rs. 1303). Rs. 2004). Rs. 1500

Answer»

Interest received by ANITA = 20 × 60000/100 = Rs. 12000 

⇒ Rate = 12000 × 100/(2 × 60000) = 10

⇒ Interest for 1st year = 60000 × 10 × 1/100 = Rs. 6000 

⇒ Principal for 2nd year = 60000 + 6000 = Rs. 66000 

⇒ Interest for second year = 66000 × 10 × 1/100 = Rs. 6600 

TOTAL interest received by Anita = 6600 + 6000 = Rs. 12600 

∴ Anita will receive (12600 - 12000) = Rs. 600 more interest.
