Answers With Solution
1. (4)
Let C's share be Rs x.
Then, B gets =0.75 x.
A gets = 1.25×0.75x
x+0.75x+0.9375x=731
2.6875x=731
x=731/2.6875 =272
2. (1)
SP=Rs15000
SP after 10% discount= 15000-10%of15000
= 15000-1500=Rs13500
Profit on SP= 8%
CP= 13500/108 ×100=Rs 12500
3. (3)
CI=10000[{(11/10 )×(11/10 )×(11/10 )×(11/10 )}-1]
4. (4)
If the average is increased by 3 kg, then sum of weights
increases by 3 x 4 = 12 kg .
And this increase in weight is due to the extra weight included
due to the inclusion of new person.
Weight of new man = 120 + 12 = 132 kg.
5. (2)
(B+C)'s 1 day work= 1/8 ...(i)
(A+B)'s 1 day's work= 1/12 ...(ii)
(A+C)'s 1 day's work = 1/16 ...(iii)
On adding all these three equations,
2(A+B+C)'s one day's work = 1/8 +1/12 1/16 = (6+4+3)/48 =13/48
(A+B+C)'s one day's work= 13/96
A, B and C can complete the work in 96/13 =7 5/13

Speed of the tractor= distance/ time
=575/23 =25kmph
speed of bus= 50kmph
speed of car= 9/5 ×50=90kmph
distance covered by the car in 4 hours= 4×90=360km

Work done by the leak in 1 hour = (1/2 -3/7) = 1/14
?leak will empty the tank in 14 hours.

CP of mixture = (20*2+30*3)/2+3 =26
SP of the mixture = 1.1×26=28.6

Let the present ages of Anju and Sandhya be 13x and 17x years
respectively.
13x-4/17x-4 =11/15
=>187x-44=195x-60
=>195x-187x=60-40
=>x=2
?Required ratio= (13×2+6):(17×2+6)
=4:5

CP of wheat= 30×45=Rs1350
40% of 30kg =12kg
SP of 12kg = 12×50 = Rs 600
For 25% profit, total SP of all the wheat is 1350×125/100
=Rs 1687.5
Remaining wheat (30-12) = 18kg
Rate of remaining wheat = 1087.5/18 ˜Rs60
