Explanation: Given that,
Total distance covered by man in 2 hours = 50km.
in first hour, he covers = 20km.
So,
Distance left to be cover = 50 - 20 = 30km.
Time left = 2 - 1 = 1 hour.
now, given that, he had to stop for 10 minutes for refuelling.
So,
Time left for travel = 1 hour - 10 min. = 60 - 10 = 50 minutes.
Therefore,
Distance to be covered now = 30km.
Time left = 50 minutes = (50/60) = (5/6) hours.
New speed = Distance/Time = 30/(5/6) = 30 * (6/5) = 36 km/h.
Hence,
Speed in first hour = 20km/h .
speed in second time = 36km/h.
Increased speed in factor = (36 /20) = 1.8 times. (Ans.)
So, he has to increased his speed 1.8 times in order to complete the journey as per schedule time.
Explanation:
Explanation: we know that,
If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3.
A number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits are evenly divisible by 8.
If the number is separately divisible by 3 and 8 then the number is also divisible by 24.
So, we can conclude that, if given 6 digit number is divisible by 24, it must be divisible by 3 and 8.
checking by 8 first we get: -
352/8 = 44 quotient, 0 remainder.
So, it is divisible.
now, in order to divisible by 3, sum must be divisible by 3.
So,
(1 + n + n + 3 + 5 + 2) / 3 = 0 remainder.
(11 + 2n) / 3 = 0 remainder.
Putting values of n now, we get,
if n = 0 => 11 /3 = Remainder not equal to 0.
if n = 1 => (11 + 2)/3 = Remainder not equal to 0.
if n = 2 => (11 + 4)/3 = Remainder equal to 0.
if n = 3 => (11 + 6)/3 = Remainder not equal to 0.
if n = 4 => (11 + 8)/3 = Remainder not equal to 0.
if n = 5 => (11 + 10)/3 = Remainder equal to 0.
if n = 6 => (11 + 12)/3 = Remainder not equal to 0.
if n = 7 => (11 + 14)/3 = Remainder not equal to 0.
if n = 8 => (11 + 16)/3 = Remainder equal to 0.
if n = 9 => (11 + 18)/3 = Remainder not equal to 0.
Therefore,
→ sum of Possible values of n = 2 + 5 + 8 = 15 (Ans.)
Explanation: Let the MP of 2/7 and 32/343 be x
x = √(2/7)*(32/343)
= √(64/4901)
= (8/49)
Let the MP of 2 and 1/5000 be y
y = √(2)*(1/5000) = √1/2500 = 1/50
MP of x and y = √(8/49)*(1/50) = √8/2450
= √4/1225 = 2/35
Explanation: (0.025/100) * (240/100) * 1.5
= 1/4000 * 24/10 * 1.5
= 9/10000
Let x% of 0.9 be 9/10000
x% (0.9) = 9/10000
(x/100) (0.9) = 9/10000
x = (9/10000)*(100/0.9)
x = 0.1
A. 10.5%
B. 10%
C. 8%
D. 12.5%
Explanation: Let initial number of customer's are x .
So,
Initial cost of filling a gas tank = Rs.800
Initial number of customer's = x
then, Initial total revenue = 800 * x = Rs. 800x
Now,
New cost of filling a gas tank = 15% reduced = (85 * 800)/100 = Rs. 680
New number of customer's = 30% increases = (130 * x)/100 = 1.3x
then, New total revenue = 680 * 1.3x = Rs. 884x
therefore,
Revenue increased by = 884 - 800 = Rs. 84x
hence, Revenue increased in % = (84x * 100)/800x = 10.5%
A. 20%
B. 40.9%
C. 130.9%
D. 44%
Explanation: Here it is given that Ankush bought (x+2) apples at the rate of Rs. 12 each.
So total cost price = Rs 12(x + 2)
Now one apple got rotten during transportation
So, number of apples sold = x + 2 - 1 = x + 1
Total selling price = Rs 300
Profit percentage = 25%
So, by the given condition,
12(x+2) * 125/100 = 300.
X = 18
Hence the number of apples sold by Ankush
= 18 + 1
= 19
A. 245
B. 243
C. 220.30
D. 244.80
Explanation: Let CP of article = Rs. 100x
MP = 36% above CP = (136 * 100x)/100 = Rs. 136x
Discount = 10%
SP = MP * (100 - D)/100 = (136x * 90)/100 = Rs. 122.4x
now,
Another discount = Rs.12.60
SP after another discount = Rs. (122.4x - 12.6)
According to the question,
Total Profit = 15.4%
122.4x - 12.6 = (100x * 115.4)/100
122.4x - 12.6 = 115.4x
7x = 12.6
x = 1.8
therefore,
MP of article = 136x = 136 * 1.8 = Rs. 244.80
Explanation: 25% of x: 65% of y : 70% of z = 5 : 26 : 15
(25 * x)/100 : (65 * y)/100 : (70 * z)/100 = 5 : 26 : 15
5x:13y:15z = 5:26:15
5X = 5a
x = a
and 13Y = 26a
Y = 2a
and, 15Z = 15a
Z = a
also,
(1/16) (x + y + z) = 10
(x + y + z) = 160
a+2a+a = 160
a=40
therefore, x = 40, Y = 80 and Z = 40
(x - 2y + 3z) = 40 -160 +120 = 0
A. 9km
B. 7.5km
C. 8km
D. 4.5km
Explanation: Let saving = 40, expenditure = 100 hence income = 140
Income increases by 20% = 168, expenditure increases by 40% = 140, saving = 28
% decrease = 40-28 /40 * 100 = 30 %
Explanation: Profit = 20%
Hence 120% of cost price = 3240
Cost price = 2700
New selling price = 2781/- , profit = 81
% profit = 81 / 2700 * 100 = 3%
Explanation: Let there be 100 apples with a cost price of 100 and cost amount=100*100=10000
Sale amount at 92% profit over all=10000*192/100=19200
Number of rotten apples at 20%=20/100*100=20
Number of saleable apples =100-20=80
Sale price at 92% profit over all =19200/80=240
Marked price to allow discount at 20%=240/80*100=300
Mark up=mp-cp=300–100=200
Percentage of mark-up=200/100*100=200%
Explanation: 45% of 80 = 36
60% of 80 = 48
Total passed = 80 - 35% of 80 = 80 - 28 = 52
passed in both = 48+36-52= 32
Explanation: Total Days = 40
Days gone = 30
Days left = 40 - 30 = 10
number of hours per day = 10 hrs
as work is same
M1*H1*D1 = M2*H2*D2
50*8*30 = (50+X) * 10 * 10
X = 70
Explanation: Speed of bus = 2x km/hr
Speed of car = 5x km/hr
Distance = Speed * time
280 = 5x * T
distance covered by the bus = y
y = 2x * T
280/y = 5/2
y = 280 * 2/ 5
y = 112
distance covered by the bus = 112 km
Explanation: Age of Ajay + Sushma = 82
Shashank = 12 , hence Sushma = 28+12 = 40
Ajay = 82-40 = 42
Sashank after 4 years = 16
Ajay after 4 years = 46
Sum = 16+46 = 62 years
Explanation: From condition 1,
Explanation: We can solve this question easily using linear equations and the concept of average.
Let the number of students initially present in the class be = x
then the weight of all the students = 62x (? total = avg × no. of things)
when 8 students leave the class, the weight of the remaining
students = 62n - 8(55)
and when other 13 students join the class, the weight of all students =
62n - 8(55) + 13(65) = 63.9 (n - 8 + 13)
62n = 63.9(n+5) + 440 - 845
62n - 63.9n = 319.5 - 405
- 1.9n = -85.5
x = 45
∴ The total number of students in the class initially were 45.
Explanation: Given,
Ramesh completes work in 20 days
Let the Total work to be completed = 1 (1 unit)
So,
Ramesh can complete (1/20) part of work in 1 day
Given,
Mohan is 66.67% as efficient as Ramesh
i.e., If Ramesh completes X part of work in 1 day, then Mohan completes 2X/3 part of work in 1 day.
Here, Ramesh completes (1/20) part of work in 1 day
So, Mohan can complete (2/3)*(1/20) = (1/30) part of work in 1 day
Mohan can complete work in 30days
Let D be the days Ramesh has worked i.e., after D days Ramesh left the work.
Both Ramesh and Mohan can complete (1/20+1/30) part of work in 1 day.
In D days Ramesh and Mohan can complete
D*(1/20+1/30) part of work
In 10 days Mohan can complete
10*(1/30) part of work
We have,
D*(1/20+1/30) + 10*(1/30) = 1
L.C.M of (20,30) = 60
D*(3+2) + 10*2 = 60
5D + 20 = 60
5D = 40
D=8
Therefore, after 8 days Ramesh left the work
Explanation:
x = 9A + 6
x = 21B + 12
9A + 6 = 21B + 12
9A = 21B + 6
3A = 7B + 2
B = 1, A = 3 => x = 33
B =4, A = 10 => x = 96
B = 7, A = 17 => x = 159
and so on x = 222, 285, 348, 411
x between 250 and 400
So, x can be 285, 348
Sum = 285 + 348 = 633
sum of all possible values of x is 633.
Explanation: Yellow balls are = x + 5
Blue balls are = 2x + 1
Red balls =?
Total balls = 4(x + 2) = 4x + 8, So red balls are = x + 2.
Find value of x, to answer how many red balls are there.
Given, two balls were selected and the probability of getting a red and blue is 1/6.
From this,
{(x+2)C1 * (2x+1)C1}/(4x+8)C2 = 1/6
Solving above equation gives x = 2.
So total red balls are = x +2 = 2+2 = 4. Option B
Explanation: Let, fixed charged be = Rs. X
And charge per km = Rs. Y
1st journey, X + 72y = 1107
2nd journey, X + 55y = 898.
Solving both Y = Rs. 12.3.
Substituting Y in any one of the equations gives, X = Rs. 221
Then for 3rd journey, X + 45y = 221 + 45*12.3 = 774
Explanation: C can complete the work alone in 60 days.
A can complete work in 60 + (40/100)60 = 84 days
B can complete work in 60 + (75/100)60 = 105 days
Work Done in 3 Days =
3 * (1/84) + 1/105 + 1/60 = (15 + 4 + 7)/420 =26/420
= 13/210
Work done in 16 * 3 = 48 days
= 16 * 13/210 = 208/210
Work left = 2/210 = 1/105
1/105 Work done by A in (1/105)/(1/84) = 4/5 day
Hence work will be completed in = 48 4/5 Days
Explanation: Distance = speed × time
total distance = 50km×3hr= 150km
speed of bus is
50 - 40% of 50 = 30km/hr
time taken by bus without stopping
150/30 =5hr
since bus stops for 10 min at each 10km
150km/10km = 15 stops
but last stop we are not considering
because its the destination.
14 stops ×10 min =140 min
so total time spent will be 5hr + 140min i.e.,
7hr 20min
Explanation: Selling price = 900 + C.P
Mark price = 2400 + C.p
Discount = M.P – S.P = 1500
Profit = S.P – C.P = 900
X% of C.p = 900
X% of MP = 1500
X% of ( 2400 + CP ) = 1500
X% of 2400 + x% of cp = 1500
X% of 2400 + 900 = 1500
X% of 2400 = 600
X = 25
Value of 4x = 100
Explanation: Let numbers are X, X+2, X+4, X+6, X+8
Average = sum /5
Sum = 5X + 20
5X +20 = 27*5
X = 23
Largest number = X+8 = 23+8 = 31, average = 27 sum = 31+27 = 58
Explanation: Let distance = X km
And speed = Y km/hr
A Car covers the distance between two points in 45minutes
X/Y = 45/60 hrs
x/y = ¾
4x = 3y
Y = 4x/3
If the speed of the car is reduced by 5km/hr, the time taken to cover the distance increases to 48minutes
X / (y-5) = 48/60
X / (y-5 ) = 4/5
5x = 4y – 20
Sub Y = 4x/3 value of X = 60km
Explanation: C.P = 1200
C.P : M.P = 3:5
Hence M.P = 2000
After 1st discount of 30% on 2000 = 600 will be reduce
M.P = 1400 2nd discount of 18% of 1400 = 252 will be reduced
S. P = 1148
LOSS = 1200 – 1148 = 52
% loss = 52 / 1200 * 100 = 4(1/3)loss %
