Answer : 4. "Both a and b sufficient"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Both a and b sufficient Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. x a. gives, S.I = Rs. 9000 and time = 9 years. b. gives, Sum + S.I for 6 years = 2 x Sum --> Sum = S.I for 6 years. Now, S.I for 9 years = Rs. 9000 S.I for 1 year = Rs. 9000/9 = Rs. 1000. S.I for 6 years = Rs. (1000 x 6)= Rs. 6000. --> x = Rs. 6000 Thus, both a and b are necessary to answer the question.
Q: There is 50% increase in an amount in 5 years at simple interest. What will be the compound interest of Rs. 12,000 after 3 years at the same rate ? 1634 05b5cc767e4d2b4197774fe01

Answer : 3. "Rs. 3972"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Rs. 3972 Explanation: Let p = Rs. 100. Then, S.I is Rs. 50 and time = 5 years. ∴ R = 100×50100×5= 10% p.a. Now, p = Rs. 12,000 , T = 3 years and R = 10% p.a. C.I. = Rs. 12000×1+101003-1= Rs. 3972
Q: The compound interest on a certain sum for 2 years at 10% per annum is Rs. 1155. The simple interest on the same sum for double the time at half the rate percent per annum is ? 1208 15b5cc767e4d2b4197774fdfc

Answer : 1. "Rs. 1100"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Rs. 1100 Explanation: Let the sum be Rs.x. Then, x1+101002-x=1155 ⇒x11102-1=1155 => x =5500 sum = Rs. 5500. So, S.I = Rs. 5500×5×4100 = 1100
Q: Taps X and Y can fill a tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively.Tap Z can empty the filled tank in 60 minutes.If all the three taps are kept open for one minute each,how much time will the taps take to fill the tank? 5781 05b5cc764e4d2b4197774fde1

Answer : 3. "24min"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 24min Explanation: Given taps X and Y can fill the tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively. Therefore, part filled by tap X in 1 minute = 1/30 part filled by tap Y in 1 minute = 1/40 Tap Z can empty the tank in 60 minutes. Therefore, part emptied by tap Z in 1 minute = 1/60 Net part filled by Pipes X,Y,Z together in 1 minute = [1/30 +1/40 - 1/60] = 5/120 = 1/24 i.e., the tank can be filled in 24 minutes.
Q: Two stations A and B are 200 km apart on a straight track. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet? 1366 05b5cc764e4d2b4197774fdad

Answer : 4. "12 p.m."
Explanation :
Answer: D) 12 p.m. Explanation: Assume both trains meet after 'p' hours after 7 a.m.Distance covered by train starting from A in 'p' hours = 20p kmDistance covered by train starting from B in (p-1) hours = 25(p-1)Total distance = 200=> 20x + 25(x-1) = 200=> 45x = 225=> p= 5Means, they meet after 5 hours after 7 am, ie, they meet at 12 p.m.
Q: A Bus travels first half distance between two places with a speed of 40 kmph and the rest half distance with a speed of 60 kmph. The average speed of the Bus is ? 967 05b5cc764e4d2b4197774fda3

Answer : 1. "48 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 48 kmph Explanation: we know that speed = distance traveled/time takenlet the total distance traveled by the car is 2x km.then time taken by it to cover first half is x/60 hour.and for second half is x/40 hour.Then average speed= total distance travelled / total time taken. i.e. 2xx60+x40 => 2x5x120 = 48 kmph.
Q: A train travels 325 km in 3.5 hours and 470 km in 4 hours. Find the average speed of train ? 1057 05b5cc764e4d2b4197774fd99

Answer : 2. "106 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 106 kmph Explanation: As we know that Speed = Distance / Timefor average speed = Total Distance / Total Time TakenThus, Total Distance = 325 + 470 = 795 kmThus, Total Speed = 7.5 hrsAverage Speed = 795/7.5 => 106 kmph.
Q: A man walks 6 km at a speed of 112kmph, runs 8 km at a speed of 2 kmph and goes by bus another 32 km. Speed of the bus is 8 kmph. Find the average speed of the man in kmph. 1794 05b5cc764e4d2b4197774fd8a

Answer : 2. "4213"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Option B Explanation: Man walked 6 km at 1.5 kmph, again he walked 8 km at speed of 2 kmph and 40 km at a speed of 8kmphtime taken indivisually: => 6/1.5 = 4 m=> 8/2 = 4 m=> 40/8 = 5 m Average speed of man= total distance/ total time=> 54/13 = 4213 kmph
