(i) The VAT paid by the shopkeeper (ii) Total amount that the consumer pays for the washing machine. |
|
Answer» Given Discount = 10%, m. p = Rs.12,000, S.T = 8% Amount paid = S.P =? Discount of 10% on mp = 10% of Rs.12,000 New m.p=12,000 – 1,200 = Rs.10,800 \(=\frac{10}{100}\times 12,000 = 71,200\) ∴ Total amount to be paid = 10,800+8% of 10,800 \(= 10,800 + \frac{8}{100}\times 10,800 \) = 10,800 + 864 = Rs.11,664 |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 60/7 days Given: A can do the work in 15 days B can do the work in 30 days C can do the work in 60 days Concept used: If a person does the work in x days then work done by the person in 1 day = 1/x of total work. Calculation: Part of work done by A in a day = 1/15 Part of work done by B in a day = 1/30 Part of work done by C in a day = 1/60 Together they will do 1/15 + 1/30 + 1/60 of the total work in a day Together they will do 7/60 of the total work in a day Time taken to do the work = 1/(7/60) ⇒ Time taken to do the work = 60/7 ∴ Together they will do the work in 60/7 days |

Direction: Given question consists of 2 statements, I and II respectively. Please read the questions carefully and decide which of the statement (s) is/are sufficient/necessary to answer the question.Find the capacity of a jar.I: One-ninth of a jar is filled with sugar syrup.II: 27 liters of sugar syrup is withdrawn from the jar. Then, the jar has no sugar syrup left.1. The data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.2. The data in statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.3. Either statement I or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.4. The data in both the statements I and II are not sufficient to answer the questions.5. The data in both the statement I and II together are necessary to answer. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : The data in both the statement I and II together are necessary to answer. From statements I and II Let the capacity of a jar be x liters. ⇒ (1/9) × x = 27 ⇒ x = 27 × 9 ⇒ x = 243 litres Capacity of a jar is 243 litres. ∴ The data in both the statement I and II together are necessary to answer. |

Direction: Given below are two quantities named I and II. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the two quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose among the possible answers.Quantity I: 3 kmphQuantity II: A boat sails in still water at 8.5 km/h, but takes thrice as long to sail upstream than downstream. Find the speed of the stream.1. Quantity I ˃ Quantity II2. Quantity I ˂ Quantity II3. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II4. Quantity II ≥ Quantity I5. Quantity II = Quantity I |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Quantity I ˂ Quantity II Quantity I: 3 kmph Quantity II: Speed of boat = 8.5 km/h Let the speed of the stream be x km/h ⇒ Downstream speed = (8.5 + x) ⇒ Upstream speed = (8.5 – x) According to the question, (8.5 + x) = 3 × (8.5 – x) ⇒ 8.5 + x = 25.5 – 3x ⇒ 8.5 – 25.5 = -3x – x ⇒ 17 = 4x ⇒ x = 4.25 Speed of stream = 4.25 kmph ∴ Quantity I ˂ Quantity II |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 15 : 16 Given: a : b = 4 : 5 and a : c = 3 : 4 Calculation: To find a : b : c, a is made same in both the ratios, Now, a/b = 4/5 ⇒ b = 5a/4 ----(1) And a/c = 3/4 ⇒ c = 4a/3 ----(2)\(% MathType!MTEF!2!1!+- % feaahqart1ev3aqatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn % hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr % 4rNCHbGeaGqiVu0Je9sqqrpepC0xbbL8F4rqqrFfpeea0xe9Lq-Jc9 % vqaqpepm0xbba9pwe9Q8fs0-yqaqpepae9pg0FirpepeKkFr0xfr-x % fr-xb9adbaqaaeGaciGaaiaabeqaamaabaabaaGcbaaeaaaaaaaaa8 % qacaWGHbGaaiiOaiaacQdacaWGIbGaeyypa0JaaiiOamaalaaapaqa % a8qacaaI0aGaey41aqRaaG4maaWdaeaapeGaaGynaiabgEna0kaaio % daaaGaaiiOaiabg2da9iaacckadaWcaaWdaeaapeGaaGymaiaaikda % a8aabaWdbiaaigdacaaI1aaaaaaa!49ED! a\;:b = \;\frac{{4 \times 3}}{{5 \times 3}}\; = \;\frac{{12}}{{15}}\) Dividing eq (1) and eq (2) we'll get ⇒ b/c = (5a/4)/(4a/3) ∴ b : c is 15 : 16 |

A can do a work in 6 days and B can do the same in 4 days. Both of them finish the work together and get Rs. 300. What is the share of A?1. Rs. 1202. Rs. 1503. Rs. 1804. Rs. 200 |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 120 Given Time taken to complete a work by A = 6 days Time taken to complete a work by B = 4 days Both of them finish the work together and get = 300 Rs Formula used Efficiency = Work/Time Calculation Let the LCM of 6 and 4 = 12 Then total work = 12 The efficiency of A in 1 day = 12/6 = 2 The efficiency of B in 1 day = 12/4 = 3 The efficiency of A and B in 1 day = 2 + 3 = 5 Then, A gets Rs. = (Total amount/The efficiency of A and B in 1 day) × efficiency of A ⇒ (300/5) × 2 = 120 ∴ The share of A is 120 Rs. |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 8 hours Given: A can fill a tank in 10 hours B can fill a tank in 20 hours C can empty a tank in 40 hours Concept used: If a tap can fill or empty a tank in x hours then the tank filled or emptied by the tap in 1 hour = 1/x of the total tank. Calculation: A can fill a tank in 10 hours Tank filled by P in 1 hour = 1/10 B can fill a tank in 20 hours Tank filled by Q in 1 hour = 1/20 C can empty a tank in 40 hours Tank emptied by R in 1 hour = 1/40 Tank filled in 1 hour = 1/10 + 1/20 - 1/40 Tank filled in 1 hour = 5/40 Tank filled in 1 hour = 1/8 The tank will be filled in 1/(1/8) hours ∴ The tank will be filled in 8 hours |

Direction: Given below are two quantities named I and II. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the two quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose among the possible answers.Quantity I: Cost price of an article is 50% of the selling price and the selling price is Rs. 8000. Find his profit percent.Quantity II: An article is sold at a profit of Rs. 200, which is 40% of its cost price. If its C.P. is increased by 20% and the selling price is Rs. 1000. Then, find the new profit percent.1. Quantity I = Quantity II2. Quantity I ≥ Quantity II3. Quantity I ≤ Quantity II4. Quantity I ˂ Quantity II5. Quantity I ˃ Quantity II |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 5 : Quantity I ˃ Quantity II Quantity I: C.P = 50% of selling price ⇒ 50 % × 8000 = Rs. 4000 ⇒ Profit = Rs. (8000 – 4000) = Rs. 4000 Profit percent = (4000/4000) × 100 = 100 % Quantity II: Let the C.P. be Rs. x ⇒ 40% of x = 200 ⇒ x = (200 × 100)/40 ⇒ x = Rs. 500 Revised cost price = 500 + 20% of 500 ⇒ 500 + 100 = Rs. 600 ⇒ Profit = Rs. 1000 – Rs. 600 = Rs. 400 Profit percentage = (400/600) × 100% ⇒ 200/3% ∴ Quantity I > Quantity II |

|
Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : \(3\frac{3}{5}\) days Given: Ravi can complete the task in 6 days Mohan can complete the task in 9 days Formula used: Total work = Efficiency × Time Calculation: Taking L.C.M of 6 and 9 ⇒ L.C.M of 6 and 9 = 18 ⇒ Efficiency of Ravi = (18/6) = 3 ⇒ Efficiency of Mohan = (18/9) = 2 Time taken by Ravi and Mohan together to complete the work = 18/(3 + 2) = 18/5 ⇒ 18/5 = \(3\frac{3}{5}\;days\) ∴ Ravi and Mohan together can complete the task in \(3\frac{3}{5}\;days\). |
