Peter invested a certain sum of money on simple interest whose value grew to Rs. 300 at the end of 3 years and to '400 at the end of another 5 years. What was the rate of interest in which he invested his sum?
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option C |
|
Explanation : |
|
The interest earned for the 5 year period between the 3rd year and 8th year
= 400 - 300 = 100
As the simple interest earned for a period of 5 years is 100, interest earned per year = 20
Interest earned for 3 years = 3 $\times$ 20 = 60.
Hence, initial amount invested = Amount after 3 years - Interest for 3 years
= 300 - 60 = 240
Rate of interest = $20 \over 240$ $\times$ 100 = 8.33 % |

I travel the first part of my journey at 40 km/h and the second part at 60 km/h and cover the total distance of 240 km to reach my destination in 5 hr. How long did the first part of my journey last?
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option B |
|
Explanation : |
|
The total time of journey = 5 hours.
Let x hours be the time that I travelled at 40 km/h
5 - xhrs would be time that I travelled at 60 km/h.
Now, we have
40x+ (5 - x) $\times$ 60 = 240, we get
40x+ 300 - 60x= 240
20x= 60 or x= 3 hrs
We can say that the first part of journey last for 3 hrs |

A trader buys goods at a 19% discount on the label price. If he wants to make a profit of 20% after allowing a discount of 10%, by what % should his marked price be greater than the original label price?
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option D |
|
Explanation : |
|
Let the label price be = Rs.100. The trader buys at a discount of 19%.
Hence, his cost = 100 - 19 = 81.
He wants to make a profit of 20%. Hence his selling price = 1.2 (81) = 97.2
However, he wants to get this Rs/ 97.2 after providing for a discount of 10%. i.e. he will be selling at 90% of his marked price.
Hence, his marked price = 108 which is 8% morethan the original label price. |

Study the following table carefully and answer these questions:
The sum of the number of staffs of D and E is ..... % less than the sum of the number of staffs of A and B
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option A |
|
Explanation : |
|
A + B = 375 + 250 = 625
D + E = 450 + 75 = 525
Required % (less) =
$(625 - 525) 100 \over 625$
= $100\times 100 \over 625$
= 16% |

Study the following table carefully and answer these questions:
The sum of the number of staffs of A and E is _____ % less than D
Answer & Explanation
Answer : Option C |
|
Explanation : |
|
A + E = 250 + 75 = 325
D = 450
Required % = $450 - 325\over 450$ $\times$ 100
= $125 \times 2 \over 9$
= $250\over 9$
= 27.66% |
