• Question 1 of 5 1. Question Apurva can do a piece of work in 12 days. Apurva and Amit complete the work together and were paid Rs. 54 and Rs. 81 respectively. How many days must they have taken to complete the work together? a) 4 days b) 4.5 days c) 4.8 days d) 5 days Correct Answer: c Since the ratio of money given to Apurva and Amit is 2:3, their work done would also be in the same ratio. Thus, their time ratio would be 3:2 (inverse of 2:3). So, if Apurva takes 12 days, Amith would take 8 days and total number of days required(t) would be given by the equation: (1/12+ 1/8)=1 →1= 24/5 = 4.8 days Incorrect Answer: c Since the ratio of money given to Apurva and Amit is 2:3, their work done would also be in the same ratio. Thus, their time ratio would be 3:2 (inverse of 2:3). So, if Apurva takes 12 days, Amith would take 8 days and total number of days required(t) would be given by the equation: (1/12+ 1/8)=1 →1= 24/5 = 4.8 days
#### 1. Question
Apurva can do a piece of work in 12 days. Apurva and Amit complete the work together and were paid Rs. 54 and Rs. 81 respectively. How many days must they have taken to complete the work together?
• b) 4.5 days
• c) 4.8 days
Answer: c
Since the ratio of money given to Apurva and Amit is 2:3, their work done would also be in the same ratio. Thus, their time ratio would be 3:2 (inverse of 2:3). So, if Apurva takes 12 days, Amith would take 8 days and total number of days required(t) would be given by the equation:
(1/12+ 1/8)=1 →1= 24/5 = 4.8 days
Answer: c
Since the ratio of money given to Apurva and Amit is 2:3, their work done would also be in the same ratio. Thus, their time ratio would be 3:2 (inverse of 2:3). So, if Apurva takes 12 days, Amith would take 8 days and total number of days required(t) would be given by the equation:

• Question 3 of 5 3. Question The simple interest on a certain sum of money for 2(1/2) yr at 12% per annum is Rs. 20 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3(1/2) yr at 10% per annum. Find the sum. (a) Rs. 800 (b) Rs. 750 (c) Rs. 625 (d) Rs. 400 Correct Answer : d Given, T1 = (5/2), R1 = 12%, T2 = (7/2) yr And R2 = 10% Let the sum be P. Then, [(Px10x7)/(100´2) ] – [(Px12´5)/(100×2)] = 20 (7P/20) – (3P/10 ) = 20 ∴P = 20 ´20 = Rs. 400 Incorrect Answer : d Given, T1 = (5/2), R1 = 12%, T2 = (7/2) yr And R2 = 10% Let the sum be P. Then, [(Px10x7)/(100´2) ] – [(Px12´5)/(100×2)] = 20 (7P/20) – (3P/10 ) = 20 ∴P = 20 ´20 = Rs. 400
#### 3. Question
The simple interest on a certain sum of money for 2(1/2) yr at 12% per annum is Rs. 20 less than the simple interest on the same sum for 3(1/2) yr at 10% per annum. Find the sum.
• (a) Rs. 800
• (b) Rs. 750
• (c) Rs. 625
• (d) Rs. 400
Answer : d
Given, T1 = (5/2), R1 = 12%, T2 = (7/2) yr
And R2 = 10%
Let the sum be P.
Then, [(Px10x7)/(100´2) ] – [(Px12´5)/(100×2)] = 20
(7P/20) – (3P/10 ) = 20
∴P = 20 ´20 = Rs. 400
Answer : d
Given, T1 = (5/2), R1 = 12%, T2 = (7/2) yr
And R2 = 10%
Let the sum be P.
Then, [(Px10x7)/(100´2) ] – [(Px12´5)/(100×2)] = 20
(7P/20) – (3P/10 ) = 20
∴P = 20 ´20 = Rs. 400
• Question 4 of 5 4. Question In a game of 160 points, A can give 10 points to B and 30 points to C. How many points B can give C in a game of 60? a) 10 b) 15 c) 6 d) 8 Correct Answer : d A:B=160:150, A: C = 160 : 130 (B/C) = [(B/A) x (A/C)] = [ (150/160) x (160/130)] = (15/13) = (60/52) = 60 : 52 ∴ In a game of 60, B can give C = (60 – 52) = 8 points Incorrect Answer : d A:B=160:150, A: C = 160 : 130 (B/C) = [(B/A) x (A/C)] = [ (150/160) x (160/130)] = (15/13) = (60/52) = 60 : 52 ∴ In a game of 60, B can give C = (60 – 52) = 8 points
#### 4. Question
In a game of 160 points, A can give 10 points to B and 30 points to C. How many points B can give C in a game of 60?
Answer : d
A:B=160:150, A: C = 160 : 130
(B/C) = [(B/A) x (A/C)] = [ (150/160) x (160/130)]
= (15/13) = (60/52) = 60 : 52
∴ In a game of 60, B can give C = (60 – 52) = 8 points
Answer : d
A:B=160:150, A: C = 160 : 130
(B/C) = [(B/A) x (A/C)] = [ (150/160) x (160/130)]
= (15/13) = (60/52) = 60 : 52
∴ In a game of 60, B can give C = (60 – 52) = 8 points
• Question 5 of 5 5. Question A 10 km race is organised at 800 m circular race course. P and Q are the contestants of this race. If the ratio of the speeds of P and Q is 5:4, how many times will the winner overtake the loser? a) 4 times b) 1 time c) 2 times d) 3 times Correct Answer : c Speed of P : Speed of Q = 5: 4 Time taken by P to cover 5 rounds Distance covered by Pin 5 rounds = 5 x (800/1000) = 4 km Distance covered by Q in 4 rounds = 4 ´(9800/1000) = (16/5) km In 5 rounds, P will overtake Q every time. It means that after covering 4 km, P will overtake one time. After covering 10 km P will overtake Q, (1/4)x 10 = 2 (1/2) times ≈ 2 times Incorrect Answer : c Speed of P : Speed of Q = 5: 4 Time taken by P to cover 5 rounds Distance covered by Pin 5 rounds = 5 x (800/1000) = 4 km Distance covered by Q in 4 rounds = 4 ´(9800/1000) = (16/5) km In 5 rounds, P will overtake Q every time. It means that after covering 4 km, P will overtake one time. After covering 10 km P will overtake Q, (1/4)x 10 = 2 (1/2) times ≈ 2 times
#### 5. Question
A 10 km race is organised at 800 m circular race course. P and Q are the contestants of this race. If the ratio of the speeds of P and Q is 5:4, how many times will the winner overtake the loser?
• a) 4 times
• c) 2 times
• d) 3 times
Answer : c
Speed of P : Speed of Q = 5: 4
Time taken by P to cover 5 rounds
Distance covered by Pin 5 rounds
= 5 x (800/1000) = 4 km
Distance covered by Q in 4 rounds = 4 ´(9800/1000) = (16/5) km
In 5 rounds, P will overtake Q every time.
It means that after covering 4 km, P will overtake one time.
After covering 10 km P will overtake
Q, (1/4)x 10 = 2 (1/2) times ≈ 2 times
Answer : c
Speed of P : Speed of Q = 5: 4
Time taken by P to cover 5 rounds
Distance covered by Pin 5 rounds
= 5 x (800/1000) = 4 km
Distance covered by Q in 4 rounds = 4 ´(9800/1000) = (16/5) km
In 5 rounds, P will overtake Q every time.
It means that after covering 4 km, P will overtake one time.
After covering 10 km P will overtake
Q, (1/4)x 10 = 2 (1/2) times ≈ 2 times
