25 Mar 2022 Time and Work

A and B together can finish a work at their usual efficiencies in 36 days. If A had worked at 2/3 of his usual efficiently and B had worked at twice his usual efficiently, then the work would have been completed in 30 days. How many days would A take to finish the task if he works alone at twice the usual efficiency?

OPtion

1) 90
2) 45
3) 24
4) 20
5) 72
6) 30
7) 15
8) 60
9) 36
10) None of these
Solution
Let A and B can do A unit and B unit of work per day respectively, then 36A + 36B = 1 ----(i)
Now, with A working with 2/3 efficiently and B with twice efficiency, it takes 30 days to finish => 30*(2/3)*A + 30*2B = 1
20A + 60B = 1 ----(ii)
Solving (i) & (ii), we get, A=1/60, B=1/90
When A works alone with twice effeciency, his 1 day work = 2*A = 2*1/60 = 1/30
.'. A would finish the work in 30 days.
Correct Option: 6 Best Solution (2)
G.S.Kantharao   3 Months AGO
Let x,y are efficiencies
1/x+1/y=1/36
2/3x+2/y=1/30
4/3x=1/18 -1/30
1/x=3(5-3)/90*4=
1/x=1/60=>x=60
If the efficiency is doubled then work completes in 30days
My option is 6👈
Like? Yes (6) | No   
Pargat Pal Singh   3 Months AGO
If per day efficiency of A and B are x and y respectively, then
36x+36y= 30*(2/3)*x +30*2y = 20x+60y
16x=24y
y=(2/3)x
Putting y in place of x ,
36x+36*(2/3)*x=1
36x+24x=1
60x=1
It means , with normal efficiency, A will take 60 days to complete the work.
At twice the usual efficiency, A will take 30 days.

24 Mar 2022 Alligation and Mixture

Liquids A and B are mixed in the ratio 5:3 and the mixture is sold at Rs. 42 with a profit of 20%. If the liquid A costs Rs 4 more than the liquid B, then the cost price of liquid A (in Rs) is

OPtion

5) 37.5
6) 35.5
7) 32.5
8) 36.5
9) 34.5
10) None of these
Solution
The mixture is sold at 20% profit for Rs. 42 /Liter, .'. CP of mixture = (100/120)*42 = Rs. 35 /Liter
Let CP per liter of liquid A = Rs. x and liquid B =Rs. (x-4)
Given, ratio of liquid A & B = 5:3
In 8 liter mixture, liquid A= 5 liters and Liquid B=3 Liters
Then, CP of 8 liter mixture = [5x + 3(x-4)] / 8 = 35
8x - 12 = 280
x = 36.5 Rs.
Correct Option 8)
Correct Option: 8 Best Solution (3)
Pargat Pal Singh   3 Months AGO
CP of mixture = 42/1,2 = Rs. 35
If CP of A and B are x and (x-4) respectively, then
(x-35)/(35-x+4) =3/5
x=Rs 36.5

23 Mar 2022 Area and Volume

A cuboid with sides in the ratio 8:5:6 is cut perpendicular to its length to form three smaller cuboids of equal size. If sum of the surface areas of all three cuboids is 1080 cm² more than the surface area of original cuboid, then the volume of original cuboid (in cm³) is

OPtion

1) 4320
2) 5280
3) 6480
4) 6720
5) 6240
6) 7200
7) 6960
8) 5760
9) 7440
10) None of these
Solution
Let length, breadth & height of original cuboid be L, B, H respectively.
Then, its Curved Surface Area = 2(LB + BH + LH) -----(i)
Dimension of each new cuboid are L/3, B, H (Breadth and height being same)
Curved Surface Area of 3 new cuboids = 3*2[(L/3)B + BH + (L/3)H] = 2LB + 6BH + 2LH ---(ii)
Difference of Curved Surface Area (ii) - (i) = 4BH = 1080
BH = 270
Let Length, Breadth & Height of original cuboid be 8x, 5x, 6x respectively, then 5x*6x = 270
30x² = 270 or x = 3
So, sides of original cuboid are L=24 cm, B=15 cm, H=18 cm
.'. Volume of original cuboid = L*B*H = 24*15*18 = 6480 cm³.
Correct option 3)
Correct Option: 3 Best Solution (2)
G.S.Kantharao   3 Months AGO
L,b,h=8x,5x,6x
Surface area=2(lb+bh+lh)
2(8x*5x+5x*6x+8x*6x)
=236x^2
Now smaller cuboid dimensions=8x/3,5x,6x
Surface area=2(40x^2/3+30x^2+16x^2)
Sum of 3 = 6(40+90+48)x^2/3=356x^2
Given=356x^2-236x^2=120x^2=1080=>x=3
L=24,b=15,h=18
Volume=24*15*18
=6480cm^3
My option is 3👈
Like? Yes (6) | No   
Mayank Kandoi   3 Months AGO
For original cuboid,
Let, Length : Breadth : Height = 8x : 5x : 6x
Surface area = 2x² (40 + 30 + 48) = 236 x²

For new cuboids,
Dimensions = 8x/3 , 5x, 6x
Total surface area = 3 * 2x² ( 5×8/3 + 5×6 + 6×8/3) = 2x² (40 + 90 + 48) = 356 x²

Given, 236x² + 1080 = 356 x²
Hence, x = 3
Sides of original cuboid = 24, 15, 18
Volume of original cuboid = 24 × 15 × 18 = 6480

22 Mar 2022 Profit & Loss

Ramesh purchased a mobile phone for Rs. 15,000. He sold it to Suresh at a gain of 20% of the selling price. Suresh further sold it to Mahesh for Rs. 20,000. What was the profit percentage of Suresh ?

OPtion

1) 16.66
2) 11.11
3) 66.66
4) 8.88
5) 6.66
6) 5.55
7) 33.33
8) 9.99
9) 22.22
10) None of these
Solution
Here, Ramesh sold mobile phone to Suresh at a gain of 20% on SP
SP = CP + Profit
SP = CP + 0.2*SP
0.8*SP = 15000
SP = 18750 = CP of Suresh
.'. Profit of Suresh = 20000 - 18750 = 1250 Rs.
% Profit = (1250/18750)*100 = 6.66 %
Correct Option: 5 Best Solution (2)
Pargat Pal Singh   3 Months AGO
If CP of Suresh is x, then
x= 15000+0.2*x
x=18750
% Profit of Suresh = 100*(20000-18750)/18750= 6.66%
Like? Yes (3) | No   
Varun   3 Months AGO
Initially CP=15k
Given (SP-15k)/SP = 0.2
=> SP = 18750
Further sold at 20k
So profit = (20k-18750)/18750 = 6.666%

21 Mar 2022 Alligation and Mixture

A food contains 550 grams of a mixture of two foods varieties, X and Y. Food X contains 20% carbohydrate and food Y contains 35% carbohydrate. If this diet provides exactly 140 grams of carbohydrate, then how many grams of food X are in the mixture ?

OPtion

1) 385
2) 335
3) 380
4) 400
5) 345
6) 285
7) 330
8) 350
9) 325
10) None of these
Solution
Let x be the number of grams of Food X in the mixture, then number of grams of food Y=(550-x)
Total carbohydrate = Carbohydrate from Food X + Carbohydrate from Food Y
140 = 0.2x + 0.35(550-x)
52.5 = 0.15x
x = 350
Correct Option: 8 Best Solution (1)
Pargat Pal Singh   3 Months AGO
x+y=550 ........ (1)
0.2x+0.35y=140 ...... (2)
Multiplying (2) by 5, we get
x+1.75y=700 ... (3)
Substracting (1) from (3)
0.75y=150
y=200 gms

18 Mar 2022 Percentage

For purchasing colours for Holi, Neel and Rajat went to market where colours were available in sachets. Neel purchased 5 Green, 3 Red and 9 Yellow coloured sachet and used up all his money while Rajat purchased 6 Green, 6 Red, and 18 Yellow coloured sachets and paid 60% more than what Neel paid. What percentage of the Neel's money was spent on purchasing Green colour ?

OPtion

1) 33.33
2) 66.66
3) 62.50
4) 37.50
5) 10
6) 30
7) 60
8) 50
9) 90
10) None of these
Solution
Let the total amount spent by Neel = x
Then, 5G + 3R + 9Y = x ----(i)
Also, spending of Rajat = 6G + 6R + 18Y = 1.6x ---(ii)
Multiplying Eqn (i) by 2, we get 10G + 6R + 18Y = 2x ---(iii)
Now subtracting Eqn (ii) from (iii), 4G=0.4x or G=0.1x
Neel's spending of Green colour 5G = 0.5x = 50% of x
Correct Option: 8 Best Solution (3)
G.S.Kantharao   3 Months AGO
Let Meel Purchased with ₹100,Rahat for 160
Prices of Green ,Red,Yellow are x,y,z
5x+3y+9z=₹100
6x+6y+18z=₹160
2(5x+3y+9z)-(6x+6y+18z)=₹200-₹160=₹40
4x=40=>x=10
Meel brought 5 Green which costs ₹50 out of ₹100
So the cost=50% of total expenditure

Mayank Kandoi   3 Months AGO
Let's say, for Neel,
5g + 3r + 9y = 100 Rs. (i)

Then for Rajat,
6g + 6r + 18y = 160 Rs. (ii)

Divide equation (ii) by 2 and subtract the new equation from equation (i)
We get, 2g = 20 that is g = 10 Rs.
Neel bought 5 sachets of green that is 50 Rs.
Thus he spent 50% of his money on green color.

16 Mar 2022 Time Distance & Speed

A car leaves point A at 3:30 pm and moves towards point B at a uniform speed. A train leaves point B at 4:03 pm and moves towards point A at a uniform speed which is 5/4 that of the car. They meet at 5:15 pm at a point which is 161 km away from A. What is the distance between A and B?

OPtion

1) 273 km
2) 237 km
3) 299 km
4) 256 km

6) 268 km
7) 301 km
8) 271.4 km
9) 249.32 km
10) None of these
Solution
Till they meet, car covers 161 km in 1 hrs 45 min or 7/4 hrs.
.'. Speed of a car = 161/(7/4) = 92 km/hr
Speed of train = (5/4)*92 = 115 km/hr
Time taken by train till they meet = 1 hr 12 min = 6/5 hrs
.'. Distance covered by train = Speed*Time = 115*6/5 = 138 km.
Total distance between A and B = Sum of the distances covered by car and train till they meet = 161+138 = 299 km.
Correct Option: 3 Best Solution (2)
G.S.Kantharao   3 Months AGO
The distance from A they met=161Km
Car travelled time =7/4hrs
Speed of the car =161*4/7=92Kmph
Now speed of the train =92*5/4=115Kmph
Train travelled time =1.2hrs
It travelled =138Km
Total distance from A to B =161+138=299Km

Solution
9800 = 2^3 x 5^2 x 7^2
If a number is represented as p^a x q^b x r^c
Then, number of factors = (a+1)(b+1)(c+1)
