6. A train can cross a pole and a bridge 429 m long in 9 seconds and 22 seconds resp. Find the time taken by it to cross a platform 594 m long.
   15 seconds
   22 seconds
   27 seconds
   20 seconds
   17 seconds
   Option C
   Let the length of the train be x m.
   Now, x/9 = (x+429)/22
   => x = 297 Speed of the train = 297/9 = 33 m/s
   Time taken to cross the platform = (297+594)/33 = 27 seconds

    

7. A shopkeeper marked an article at 75% above the cost price and sold it after two consecutive discounts of 20% and 25%. Find the cost price of the article if in this transaction he had a profit of Rs.750.
   18000
   13000
   19000
   15000
   12000
   Option D
   Let the CP of the article be Rs.x.
   MP = 1.75*x = Rs.1.75x
   SP = 0.75*0.80*1.75x = x+750
   => x = 15000

    

8. Eight years ago, the ages of Raman and Chaman are in the ratio of 4:5 resp. 12 years from now, the ratio of the ages of Raman and Chaman are 13:15 resp. Find the present average age of Raman and Chaman.

   40 years
   Option A
   Let the ages of Raman and Chaman 8 years ago, 4x and 5x resp.
   Present ages of them = 4x+8 and 5x+8
   Therefore, (4x+8+12)/(5x+8+12)= 13/15
   => x = 8
   So, the present ages of Raman and Chamna are 40 years and 48 years resp.
   Present average age = (40+48)/4 = 44 years

    

9. The population of Delhi in 2014 is x. The population f Delhi increases by 15% every year with respect to its previous year and the population of Delhi in 2017 is 608350. Find the value of x.

   400000
   200000
   100000
   300000

    Total playing cards = 52
    Face card = 12
    Non-face cards = 40
    Probability of atleast one face card = (12C1*40C1+12C2)/52C2 = 7/17
