Question: Ramesh spends 50% of his monthly salary on food, and saves 90% of the remaining amount. If his monthly salary is Rs.10,000, how much money does he save every month ?
A.Rs.2500
B.Rs. 4500
C.Rs.8000
D.Rs.3000
Answer: B.Rs. 4500

B.2. $15,750
C.3. $16,820
D.4. $18,500
Answer: D.4. $18,500
Explanation: Edited the question as there was a typo.
Range = Highest Value - Lowest Value.
Range in May was 15,000 and the lowest price in May was 4,500, thus the highest price in May was 15,000+4,500=19,500.
Range in June was 16,500 and the lowest price in June was 6,500, thus the highest price in June was 16,500+6,500=23,000.
Lowest price of a car in May-June was 4,500 (May) and the highest price of a car in May-June was 23,000, thus the range for May-June is 23,000-4,500=18,500.

(2)===> C = 3.5 B - B-30 = 2.5B-30==>2.5B-C = 30---(4)
from (4) and (3) 0.5B = 120
B = $240
A= $270
C =810-240=$570 Total amount = 270+240+570 = $1080

Question: Braun invested a certain sum of money at 8% p.a. simple interest for 'n' years. At the end of 'n' years, Braun got back 5 times his original investment. What is the value of n?
A.50 years
B.25 years
C.12 years 6 months
D.37 years 6 months
Answer: A.50 years
Explanation: Explanatory Answer
Let us say Braun invested $100.
Then, at the end of 'n' years he would have got back $500.
Therefore, the Simple Interest earned = 500 - 100 = $400.
We know that Simple Interest = (Principal * number of years * rate of interest) / 100
Substituting the values in the above equation we get 400 = (100 * n * 8) / 100
Or 8n = 400
Or n = 50 years.
correct choice is (A)

Question: If the tens digit of positive integer x is 2 and the tens digit of positive integer y is 2, how many possible values of the tens digit of 2(x+y) can there be?
A.2
B.3
C.4
D.5
Answer: C.4
Explanation: We only need to consider the tens and ones digits of x and y, and the last two digits can be represented as 20 + p and 20 + q respectively.
2(20+p+20+q)= 80 + 2(p + q)
2(p+q) can range from 0 up to a maximum value of 36 when p=q=9.
Then the tens and ones digits of 2(x+y) can range from 80 up to 16.
That is, the tens digit can be 8, 9, 0, or 1.
There can be 4 possibilities for the tens digit.
The answer is C.
Question: If a + b - c = 4d, and if a - b + c = 4e, then a =
A.2(d + e)
B.d – e
C.3(d + e)/2
D.d-2e
Answer: A.2(d + e)
Explanation: Add both equations:
a + b - c = 4d
a - b + c = 4e
a+b-c+a-b+c=4d+4e
2a=4d+4e
a=2(d+e)

Question: Rose is two years older than Bruce who is twice as old as Chris. If the total of the age of Rose, B and Chris be 47 years, then how old is Bruce ?
A.18 years
B.10 years
C.12 years
D.13 years
Answer: A.18 years
Explanation: Let Chris's age be x years. Then, Bruce's age = 2x years.Rose's age = (2x + 2) years.
(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 47
5x = 45
x = 9
Hence, Bruce's age = 2*9 = 18 years.

Question: First train 108 m long moving at a speed of 50 km/hr crosses a second train 112 m long coming from opposite direction in 6 seconds. Find the speed of the second train ??
A.82 km/hr
B.80 km/hr
C.90 km/hr
D.60 km/hr
Answer: A.82 km/hr
Explanation: speed of the second train consider as x
relative speed = (x+50)*5/18 m/sec
(250+5x/18) m/sec
distance = (108 + 112) = 220 m
==> 220/(250+5x/18) = 6
250 + 5x = 660
=>x = 82 km/hr

Question: Rates for having a manuscript typed at a certain typing service are $5 per page for the first time a page is typed and $3 per page each time a page is revised. If a certain manuscript has 200 pages, of which 80 were revised only once, 20 were revised twice, and the rest required no revisions, what was the total cost of having the manuscript typed?
A.$1360
B.$1620
C.$1650
D.$680
Answer: A.$1360
Explanation: For 200-80-20=100 pages only cost is 5$ per page for the first time page is typed - 100*5=500$;
For 80 pages the cost is: first time 5$ + 3$ of the first revision - 80*(5+3)=640$;
For 20 pages the cost is: first time 5$ + 3$ of the first revision + 3$ of the second revision - 20(5+3+3)=220$;
Total: 500+640+220=1360$.

Question: A, B and C enter into partnership. A invests 3 times as much as B invests and B invests two third of what C invests. At the end of the year, the profit earned is Rs. 8500. What is the share of B?
A.1545.45
B.1545.48
C.1545.42
D.1545.46
Answer: A.1545.45
Explanation: Explanation:
Let C's capital = Rs. y. Then, B's capital = Rs. (2/3)y
A's capital = Rs. (3 × (2/3)y) = Rs. 2y
Therefore, ratio of their capitals
= 2y : (2/3)y : y
= 6 : 2 : 3
Hence, B's share = Rs. (8500 x 2/11) = Rs. 1545.45
