Answer : 2. "7.5 min"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 7.5 min Explanation: B runs around the track in 10 min.  i.e ,    Speed of B = 10 min per round  Therefore,  A beats B by 1 round   Time taken  by A to complete 4 rounds    = Time taken by B to complete 3 rounds    = 30 min    Therefore, A's speed = 30/4 min per round = 7.5 min per round  Hence, if the race is only of one round A's time over the course = 7 min 30 sec

Answer : 2. "8"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 8 Explanation:     AmitBharatNo.of Days4540Efficiency2.22Percent(=145)2.5 Percent(=140)   Amit did the work in 56 days = 56×145×2=2845    Therefore, Rest work 17/45 was done by Amit and Bharath = 174517360 = 8 days       ( since Amit and Bharath  do the work in one day = 145+140=17360)

Q: A can do a piece of work in 10 days, B in 15 days. They work together for 5 days, the rest of the work is finished by C in two more days. If they get Rs. 3000 as wages for the whole work, what are the daily wages of A, B and C respectively (in Rs): 1800 0

Answer : 2. "300, 200, 250"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 300, 200, 250 Explanation: A's 5 days work = 50%   B's 5 days work = 33.33%  C's 2 days work = 16.66%     [100- (50+33.33)]  Ratio of contribution of work of A, B and C = 50 : 3313 : 1623 = 3 : 2 : 1    A's total share = Rs. 1500  B's total share = Rs. 1000  C's total share = Rs. 500     A's one day's earning = Rs.300   B's one day's earning = Rs.200   C's one day's earning = Rs.250

Answer : 2. "8 hours"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 8 hours Explanation: Efficiency of Inlet pipe A = 4.16%       10024    Efficiency of Inlet pipe B = 5.83%      1001717     Therefore, Efficiency of A and B together = 100 %      Now, if the efficiency of outlet pipe be x% then in 10 hours the capacity of tank which will be filled = 10 *  (10 - x)   Now, since this amount of water is being emptied by 'C' at x% per hour, then    10x10-xx=2.5 hrs   => x = 8    Therefore, in 10 hours 20% tank is filled only. Hence, the remaining 80% of the  capacity will be filled by pipes A and B  in 80/10 = 8 hours

Answer : 1. "4%"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 4% Explanation: SP of first article = Rs.1000   Profit = 20%  CP = SP x 100100+P% = Rs. 25003 SP of Second Article = Rs.1000  Loss = 20%  CP = SP x 100100-L% = Rs. 1250   So, Total SP = Rs.2000; Total CP = Rs.6250/3   As the CP is more than SP, he makes a loss.   Loss = CP - SP = (6250/3) - 2000 = Rs.(250/3)   So, Loss Percent = Lossx100/CP = 4%

Answer : 4. "Rs.480"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Rs.480 Explanation: SP = Rs.800 ; Profit = 25%  CP = SP x 100100+P% = 800 x 100100+25 = 640    Now, CP = Rs.640   Loss = 25% = 25% of Rs.640 = Rs.160   Thus, SP = CP - Loss = Rs.640 - Rs.160 = Rs.480

Q: A and B invests Rs.10000 each, A investing for 8 months and B investing for all the 12 months in the year. If the total profit at the end of the year is Rs.25000, find their shares? 3198 0

Answer : 1. "10000 and 15000"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 10000 and 15000 Explanation: As both A and B invest the same amounts, the ratio of their profits at the end of the year is equal to the ratio of the time periods for which they have invested.   Thus, the required ratio of their profits = A : B = 8 : 12 = 2 : 3.   Hence, share of A in the total profit = 2 x 25000/5 = Rs.10000   Similarly, share of B in the total profit = 3 x 25000/5 = Rs.15000
