Question: A sum of money invested for a certain number of years at 8% p.a. simple interest grows to Rs.180. The same sum of money invested for the same number of years at 4% p.a. simple interest grows to Rs.120 only. For how many years was the sum invested?
A.25 years
B.37
C.36
D.29
Answer: A.25 years
Explanation: Explanation:
From the information provided we know that,
Principal + 8% p.a. interest on principal for n years = 180 …….. (1)
Principal + 4% p.a. interest on principal for n years = 120 ……… (2)
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get
4% p.a. interest on principal for n years = Rs.60.
Now, we can substitute this value in equation (2),
i.e Principal + 60 = 120
= Principal = Rs.60.
We know that SI = , where p is the principal, n the number of years and r the rate percent of interest.
In equation (2), p = Rs.60, r = 4% p.a. and the simple interest = Rs.60.
Therefore, 60 =(60*n*4)/100
=> n = 100/4 = 25 years.
Answer: A) 25years
Question: If A can do 1/4 of a work in 3 days and B can do 1/6 of the same work in 4 days, how much will A get if both work together and are paid Rs. 180 in all?

Question: At a supermarket, John spent 1/5 of his money on fresh fruits and vegetables, 1/3 on meat products, and 1/10 on bakery products. If he spent the remaining $11 on candy, how much did John spend at the supermarket?
A. $20
B. $30
C. $50
D. $90
Answer: B. $30
Explanation: Let's let T = total number of dollars spent at the supermarket. With this variable we can set up an equation and determine T.
We are given that John spent 1/5 of his money on fresh fruits and vegetables, or (1/5)T, 1/3 on meat products, or (1/3)T, and 1/10 on bakery products, or (1/10)T. We are also given that he spent the remaining $11 on candy. Since we know where all his money was allocated, we can sum these values together and set the sum to T. So we have:
(1/5)T + (1/3)T + (1/10)T + 11 = T
To get rid of the fractions we can multiply the entire equation by 30, and we obtain:
6T + 10T + 3T + 330= 30T
19T + 330 = 30T
330 = 11T
T = 30
John spent $90 at the supermarket.

Question: In a race of 1000 m, A can beat by 100 m, in a race of 800m, B can beat C by 100m. By how many meters will A beat C in a race of 600 m?
A.127.6
B.127.5
C.127.9
D.127.3
Answer: B.127.5
Explanation: When A runs 1000 m, B runs 900 m and when B runs 800 m, C runs 700 m.
When B runs 900 m, distance that C runs = (900 * 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 m.
In a race of 1000 m, A beats C by (1000 - 787.5) = 212.5 m to C.
In a race of 600 m, the number of meters by which A beats C = (600 * 212.5)/1000
= 127.5 m.

Question: A container has a capacity of 20 gallons and is full of spirit. 5 gallons of spirit is drawn out and the container is again filled with water. This process is repeated 5 times. Find how much spirit is left in the resulting mixture finally?
A.(257/525) gallons
B.1.5552 gallons
C.1.5 gallons
D.1.25 gallons
Answer: B.1.5552 gallons
Explanation: There is a direct formula to calculate such repetition:
Left QTY / Orig QTY = ( (Orig QTY - Rep QTY) / Orig QTY )^n
where n is number of times mixing done:
Left QTY / 20 = (20 -5)^5 / 20^5
Left QTY = 20 (15/20)^5
Left QTY = 20 ( 3/5 )^5
Left QTY = 1.5552

Question: A family has two children. find the probability that both the children are girls given that at least
one of them is a girl?
A.1/3
B.4/7
C.4/9
D.4/11
Answer: A.1/3
Explanation: Let b stand for boy and g for girl. The sample space of the experiment is
S = {(g, g), (g, b), (b, g), (b, b)}
Let E and F denote the following events :
E : ‘both the children are girls’
F : ‘at least one of the child is a girl’
Then E = {(g,g)} and F = {(g,g), (g,b), (b,g)}
Now E n F = {(g,g)}
Thus P(F) = 3/4
and P (E n F )= 1/4
Therefore P(E|F) = P(E ∩ F)/P(F) = (1/4)/(3/4) = 1/3

Question: A man buys two cycles for 1200 each, he sells first cycle at a loss of 20% ,if he desires to get a profit of 15% on whole for how much should he sell his 2nd cycle?
A.1600
B.1700
C.1800
D.1900
Answer: C.1800
Explanation: 1st cycle sold at a loss of 20%, so the Sp of 1st cycle= 1200*(1-20/100)=960
Total CP for 2 cycles= 1200*2=2400
Desired SP for 2 cycles= 2400*(1+15/100)=2760
so, SP of 2nd cycle= 2760-960=1800
