Solutions:
1. C) Total simple interest received, I =
Rs.1600
Principal, p = 7000
period, n = 5 years
Rate of interest, r = ?
Simple Interest,
I=pnr/100
⇒1600=(7000×5×r)/100
⇒r=(1600×100)/(7000×5)=160/35=32/7%
By rule of alligation,
Part1 : Part2
=4/7:1/07=4:10=2:5
Given that total amount
is Rs.7000. Therefore, the amount lent at 6% per annum (part1 amount) = 7000 ×
(2/7) = Rs. 2000
2. D) Speed
of boat in still water = 30 km/hr
Speed upstream =10/1 = 10
km/hr
Speed of the stream =
(30-10) = 20 km/hr
Speed downstream =
(30+20) = 50 km/hr
Time taken to travel 10
km downstream = 10/50 hours = (10×60) / 50 = 12 minutes
3. A) 28.5
=110% of cost price
26.75=(110×26.75) / 28.5
% = 103 % of cost price.
Therefore, required
profit percentage = 3%
4. C) Simple
Interest for 3 years = (Rs.12010 - Rs.9850) = Rs.2160
Simple Interest for 5
years = (2160/3) × 5 = Rs.3600
Principal(P) = (Rs.9850 -
Rs.3600) = Rs.6250
R =
(100×SI)/PT=(100×3600) / (6125×5)=11.5%
5. A) Assume
that cost of keeping a Horse for 1 day = h ,
cost of keeping a goat
for 1 day = g
Cost of keeping 20 Horses
and 40 goats for 10 days = 460
Cost of keeping 20 Horses
and 40 goats for 1 day = 460/10 = 46
=> 20h + 40g = 46
=> 10h + 20g = 23
---(1)
Given that 5g = h
Hence equation (1) can be
written as 10h + 4h = 23 => 14h =23
=> h=23/14
cost of keeping 50 Horses
and 30 goats for 1 day
= 50h + 30g
= 50h + 6c (substituted
5g = c)
= 56 h = 56×23/14 = 92
Cost of keeping 50 Horses
and 30 goats for 12 days = 12×92 = 1104
6. B) New
speed = 6/7 of usual speed
Speed and time are inversely
proportional.
Hence new time =7/6 of
usual time
Hence, 7/6 of usual time
- usual time =15 minutes
⇒1/6 of usual time =15 minutes
Therefore, usual time
=15×6 = 90 minutes
=1 hour 30 minutes
7. B) Let
present age of the elder person = x and
present age of the
younger person = x−15
(x - 7) = 4 (x – 15 - 7)
x – 7 = 4x – 88
3x = 81
x = 27
8. B) Let
original length =l
original breadth =b
Then original area =lb
Length is increased by
20%
⇒ New length =l×(120/100)=1.2l
Breadth is increased by
20%
⇒ New breadth =b×(120/100)=1.2b
New area
=1.2l×1.2b=1.44lb
Increase in area = new
area - original area
=1.44lb – lb = 0.44lb
Percentage increase in
area
= (increase in area /
original area) × 100
= (0.44 lb / lb)×100 =
44%
9. A) Pipe
A Efficiency = 100/10 = 10%
Pipe B Efficiency =
100/20 = 5%
Net Efficiency = 15%
15x + 10(8-x) = 100
x = 4
10. E) 75
+ 55 + x = 60% of all three subjects
75 + 55 + x = 60% of 400
x = 240 – 130 = 110
% = (110/200) * 100 = 55%
