- A clock is set right at 8 a.m. The clock gains 10 minutes in 24 hours will be the true time when the clock indicates 1 p.m. on the following day?
41 min. past 1835 min. past 1649 min. past 1436 min. past 1048 min. past 12Option E
Time from 8 a.m. on a day to 1 p.m. on the following day = 29 hours.
24 hours 10 min. of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock
145/6 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock
29 hours of this clock = 24*6/145*29 hrs of the correct clock = 28 hrs 48 min of the correct clock
48 min. past 12 - In one litre of mixture of alcohol and water, 30% is water. The amount of alcohol that must be added to the mixture, so that the part of water in the mixture becomes 15%, find the amount of added water.
1000 ml1100 ml1400 ml1200 ml1500 mlOption A
1000 ml of mixture, Alcohol = 700 ml
Water = 300 ml
Let x ml of alcohol is mixed.
300/(1000+x)*100 = 15
=>x = 1000 ml - A and B started business with Rs 600 and Rs 500 respectively. After 4 months, C replaces B with X% of B’s capital. After 1 year C’s share out of the total profit 24000 is 5600. Find the value of X.
40%50%70%60%80%Option C
A:B:C = 600*12:500*4:5x*8 =180:50:x
C’s profit = ×/(230+x) × 24000
=>×/(230+x) × 24000 = 5600
=>x = 70% - A shopkeeper bought a bed and a mattress together for Rs.12000. He sold the bed at a profit of 20% and the mattress at a loss of 25%. Find the selling price of the bed if in this whole transaction he had a profit of 5%.
Rs.8800Rs.9100Rs.9600Rs.7400Rs.8000Option C
Let CP be Rs.x
CP = Rs.12000-x
Now, 1.2x + (12000-x)*0.75 = 12000*1.05
=>x = 8000
SP of the bed = 8000*1.2 = Rs.9600 - Average age of a class of 108 students is 18 years. Average age of all the boys in the class is 20 years and the average age of all the girls in the class is 15 years 6 months. Find the difference between the number of boys and number of girls in the class.
1014161218Option D
Sum of all the students = 18*108 = 1944 years
Let the number of boys be x and girls be (108-x)
Now, x*20 + (108-x)*15.5 = 1944
=>x = 60
Difference between the number of girls and boys = 60-48 = 12 - Mani invested Rs. X in a scheme offering 10% simple interest for 3 years. Had he invested the amount in another scheme offering compound interest at the same rate of interest compounded annually for the same period, he would have gained Rs.527 more. Find the value of x.
1500017000160001900018000Option B
SI = x*0.10*3 = Rs.0.30x
CI = x*{(1+0.10)^3 -1} = Rs.0.331x
Now, 0.331x – 0.3x = 527
=>x = 17000 - Present ages of X,Y and Z are in the ratio 4:3:7 resp. Present age of Q is 40% more than the age of Y 4 years ago. Find the present age of Q if the present age of X,Y,Z and Q is 35 years.
23 years26 years20 years25 years28 yearsOption E
Present age of Q = 1.4*(3x-4)= 4.2x – 5.6 years
Now, 4x+3x+7x+4.2x – 5.6 = 35*4
=>x = 8
Present age of Q = 4.2*8 – 5.6 = 28 years - Sum of present ages of A and B is 41. Age of A 2 year hence is equal to age of C, 1 year ago. Age of A, 4 year hence is equal to age of B 1year ago and ratio of present age of A and D is 3 : 4. Find the difference of age of C and D.
5 years2 years4 years3 years6 yearsOption D
A+ B = 41 …(i)
C -1 = A + 2 C = A + 3
And A + 4 = B – 1
⇒ B = A + 5 …(ii)
From (i) + (ii)
A = 18 years
B = 18 + 5 = 23 years
C = 18 + 3 = 21 years
D = = 24 years
Required difference = 24 – 21 = 3 years - Rakesh adds 12% of his salary in PPF. 3/8th of the remaining amount is spent on clothes and the difference between PPF and clothes expenses is Rs 10500. Remaining amount is spent on house rent and other expenses. If house rent expenses is Rs 1500 less than other expenses, then what is the house rent expenses?
1500012000160001300017000Option D
12% of the salary is added as PPF.
Remaining Part = 100 – 12 = 88%
Amount spent on clothes = of 88% = 33%
Difference between PPF and cloth expanses = 33 – 12 = 21% of salary = 10500
Total salary = 50000
Other expanses = House Rent expanses + 1500
House Rent expanses + Other expanses = (100 – 33 – 12)% of salary = 55% of salary = 27500
House Rent expanses + House Rent expanses + 1500 = 27500 2 × House Rent expanses = 27500 – 1500 = 26000
House Rent expanses = 13000 - A pipe can fill a cistern in 6 hrs. Due to a leak in its bottom, it is filled in 7 hrs. When the cistern is full, in how much time will it be emptied by the leak?
40 hrs42 hrs49 hrs44 hrs46 hrsOption B
In one hour,part of cistern filled = 1/6
In one hour, cistern can be filled= 1/7
In one hour 1/6−1/7=142
Cistern will be emptied in = 42 hrs
I have taken note that of all kinds of insurance, health insurance coverage is the most questionable because of the struggle between the insurance coverage company’s obligation to remain afloat and the client’s need to have insurance. Insurance companies’ commissions on wellness plans are certainly low, hence some businesses struggle to gain profits. Thanks for the concepts you discuss through this site.
