  6. A boat covers 48 km in upstream and 72 km in downstream in 12 hours, while it covers 72 km in upstream and 48 km in downstream in 13 hours. Find the speed of the stream.
    5 kmph.
    2 kmph.
    4 kmph.
    6 kmph.
    1 kmph.
    Option B
    Let downstream speed be u and Upstream speed be v.
    Then (48/u+72/v) = 12 ——– (1) and (48/u+72/v) = 13 ———— (2)
    On solving the eqn (1) and (2), we get u = 12 kmph and v = 8 kmph
    Thus, speed of the current
    = (u-v)/2
    = 4/2 = 2 kmph.

     

  7. Presennt age of A is 37.5% more than the present age of B. Present Ages of C and D are in the ratioof 4:3 resp. A is two years younger than C. If the present average age of A. B and D is 20 years , the find the value of B.
    21
    16
    13
    20
    15
    Option B
    Le the present age of B be x years .
    Sum of the present ages = x+1.375x + 1.375x + 2 +3/4 (1.375x+2) = 4*20
    => x = 16

     

  8. Somesh’s age is 1/6th of his father’s age. Somesh’s father’s age will be twice Shankar’s age after 10 years. If Shankar’s eight birthdays was celebrated two years before, then what is Somesh ‘s present age.
    7
    13
    8
    11
    5
    Option E
    Let Somesh ‘s present age = x
    Then, her father’s age = 6x
    Given that Somesh ‘s father’s age will be twice Shankar’s age after 10 years.
    Therefore, Shankar’s age after 10 years
    => 1/2(6x+10) = 3x+5
    Also given that Shankar’s eight birthdays was celebrated Two years before. Therefore, Shankar’s age after 10 years = 8+12 = 20
    Therefore,3x+5 = 20
    => x=15/3 = 5

     

  9. The percentage profit earned by selling an article for Rs. 1920 is equal to the percentage loss incurred by selling the same article for Rs. 1280. At what price should the article be sold to make 25% profit?
    Rs.9000
    Rs.7000
    Rs.2000
    Rs.3000
    Rs.4000
    Option C
    let cp 100% profit and loss = x
    100+x = 1920
    100-x = 1280
    200% = 3200
    cp = 1600
    Required S.P =125% of 1600 = (125/100*1600) = Rs.2000

     

  10. A fruit basket contains 10 Guavas and 20 Bananas out of which 3 Guavas and 5 Bananas are defective. If two fruits selected at random, what is the probability that either both are Bananas or both are non-defective?
    316/435
    311/430
    303/445
    355/437
    317/400
    Option A
    P(A) = 20c2 / 30c2
    P(B) = 22c2 / 30c2
    P(A∩B) = 15c2 / 30c2
    P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩B)
    => (20c2/30c2)+(22c2/30c2)-(15c2/30c2)
    = 316/435
