  1. A father divides his property between his two sons A and B. A invests his amount at C.I. of 8% per annum whereas B invests the amount at S.I. at 10% per annum. At the end of 2 years, the interest received by B is Rs. 1336 more than the interest received by A. Find the share of A in the father’s property of Rs. 25,000.
    Rs 12,000
    Rs 14,000
    Rs 15,000
    Rs 10,000
    Rs 16,000
    Option D
    Let share of A = Rs x
    Share of B = Rs (25000 – x)
    [(25000 − 𝑥)×10×2]/ 100 − 𝑥 [(1 + 8/ 100)^2 − 1] = 1336
    ⇒ (25000 − 𝑥)/ 5 − 104𝑥/ 625 = 1336
    ⇒ 3125000 – 125x – 104x = 1336 × 625
    ⇒ x = Rs 10,000

     

  2. An ore contains 25% of an alloy that has 90% iron. Other than this, in the remaining 75% of the ore, there is no iron. To obtain 60 kg of pure iron, the quantity of the ore needed, in kgs, is approximately:
    232.31 kg
    214.25 kg
    266.67 kg
    242.34 kg
    256.15 kg
    Option C
    Required quantity of ore = 100/ 25 × 100 /90 ×60 = 266.67 kg

     

  3. The strength of a school increases and decreases in every alternate year by 10%. It started in 2000 and increases in 2001, then the strength of the school in 2003 as compared to that in 2000 was:
    Increase by 7.1%
    Increase by 6.5%
    Decrease by 7.8%
    Increase by 7.6%
    Increase by 8.9%
    Option E
    Let in 2000, the strength was 100
    In 2001 strength = 110
    In 2002 strength = 110 × 90/ 100
    In 2003 strength = 110 × 90/ 100 × 110 /100 = 108.9
    Required % increment = 8.9%
    Hence, strength after 3 years will increase by 8.9%

     

  4. A spider climbed 62(1/2)% of the height of the pole in one hour and in the next hour it covered 12(1/2)% of the remaining height. If pole’s height is 192 m, then the distance climed in second hour is:
    7
    9
    5
    6
    8
    Option B
    Total height = 192m
    Distance climbed in second hour = 1 /8
    = 192 × (8−5)/ 8 × 1 /8 = 192 × 3 /8 × 1/ 8 = 9 m

     

  5. C is twice efficient as A. B takes thrice as many days as C. A takes 12 days to finish the work alone. If they work in pairs (i.e. AB, BC, CA) starting with AB on the first day then BC on the second day and AC on the third day and so on, then how many days are required to finish the work?
    4 (1/8) days
    2 (1/7) days
    3 (1/5) days
    5 (1/9) days
    6 (1/4) days
    Option D
    Time taken by A alone = 12 days
    Time taken by B alone = 12 2 ×3 = 18 days
    Time taken by C alone = 12 2 = 6 days
    Work done in first three days = ( 1 /12 + 1 /18) + ( 1/ 18 + 1/ 6 ) + ( 1/ 6 + 1/ 12)
    = 5 /36 + 4 /18 + 3 /12 = 11/ 18
    Remaining work = 1 – 11/ 18 = 7/ 18
    Work done in next two days = 5/ 36 + 4/ 18 = 13/ 36
    Now, remaining work = 7 /18 – 13/ 36 = 1 /36
    This work will be done by C and A together
    Total days required = 3 + 2 + 4/ 36 = 5 (1/9) days

  1. I would also love to add if you do not now have an insurance policy or else you do not form part of any group insurance, you may well gain from seeking the assistance of a health insurance broker. Self-employed or people with medical conditions generally seek the help of an health insurance specialist. Thanks for your short article.

  2. Thanks for your posting. I have always noticed that many people are desirous to lose weight because they wish to appear slim and also attractive. Even so, they do not constantly realize that there are other benefits to losing weight also. Doctors claim that obese people have problems with a variety of conditions that can be instantly attributed to the excess weight. The good news is that people who’re overweight and suffering from numerous diseases can help to eliminate the severity of the illnesses by means of losing weight. It’s possible to see a constant but noticeable improvement in health while even a bit of a amount of weight loss is reached.

  3. I do enjoy the way you have framed this concern plus it does indeed present me a lot of fodder for thought. Nevertheless, because of what I have seen, I just simply hope when other opinions pile on that people today continue to be on issue and not get started on a soap box involving some other news of the day. Yet, thank you for this exceptional point and even though I do not necessarily concur with this in totality, I regard your standpoint.

    I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and without a
    doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that not
    enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I found this during my search for something
    relating to this.
