Q1.
A
man bought some fruits at the rate of 16 for Rs. 24 and sold them at the rate
of 8 for Rs.
18. What is the profit percent?
(a) 25% (b) 40% (C) 50% (D) 60%
Ans. - (C) Solution: -
CP of 1 fruit = 24/16 = 1.5
SP of
1 fruit = 18/8 = 2. 25
Profit
= SP - CP = 2.25 - 1.5 = 0.75
Profit
percent = (Profit * 100)/ CP = (0.75*100)/1.5 = 50%
Q2. If the cost price of 12 pens is equal to the selling
price of 8 pens, the gain percent is:
(A)
50% (B) 33
1/3% (C) 25% (D) 66 2/3%
Ans.- (a) Solution:- Let CP of a pen = x, SP of a pen = y
12 x = 8 y => y/x = 3/2
Gain% = {(y - x)/x} * 100 = (y/x - 1) * 100 = (3/2 - 1) * 100
Gain % = 50 %.
Q3.
The
sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago,
father's ae
Was
five times the age of the son? After 6 years, son's age will be:
(A) 12 years (B) 14 years (C) 18 years (D) 20 years
Ans.- (D) Solution:-
Let the present age of father = X, present age of his son = Y
X + Y = 60
(X-6) = 5 * (Y-6)
Or Y = 14
Son's
age after 6 years = 14 + 6 = 20 years.
Q4. The age of father 10 years ago was thrice the age of
his son. After Ten years hence, father's age will be twice that of his son. The
ratio of their present ages is:
(A)
5:2 (B) 7:3 (C) 9:2 (D) 13:4
Ans. - (B) Solution: - Let
the present age of father = X, present age of son = Y
10 years ago the age: (X - 10) = 3 * (Y - 10)
After 10 years : (X + 10) = 2
* (Y + 10)
X = 70, Y = 30
Hence
X: Y = 7:3
Q5. A 300 meter long train crosses a platform in 39
seconds while it crosses a signal pole in
18
seconds. What is the length of the platform?
(A) 320 m (B) 350 m (C) 650 m (D) Data inadequate
Ans.- (B) Solution :- Let Length of train = 300 m, Time to cross
the pole = 18 sec
Speed = 300/18 m//s
Train crosses plateform of
length x meters, total distance travelled by train = (300 + x) m
Time taken = 39 secs
Distance = Speed * time
300 + x = 300/18 * 39
x = 350 meter.
