On a sum of money, the S.I. for 2 years is Rs. 660, while the C.I. is Rs. 696.30, the rate of interest being the same in both the cases. The rate of interest is________?

On a sum of money, the S.I. for 2 years is Rs. 660, while the C.I. is Rs. 696.30, the rate of interest being the same in both the cases. The rate of interest is________?

A. 10%
B. 10.5%
C. 12%
D. None of these
Explanation:
Difference in C.I. and S.I for 2 years = (696.30 – 660) = Rs. 36.30.
S.I for one year = Rs. 330.
S.I. on Rs. 330 for 1 year = Rs. 36.30
Rate = (100 * 36.30)/(330 * 1) = 11%

Two trains 120 miles apart travel towards each other. The 1st train travels at 70 mph while the 2nd at 50 mph. A bird starts flying from the location of the faster train towards the other train at 85 mph and when it reaches the slower train it turns back and flies in the other direction at the same speed. When it reaches the faster train it again turns around and repeats the same procedure again and again. When the train collide, how far will the bird have flown?

In a can, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 4 : 5. If it is filled with an additional 8 litres of milk the can would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 6 : 5. Find the capacity of the can?

In a can, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 4 : 5. If it is filled with an additional 8 litres of milk the can would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 6 : 5. Find the capacity of the can?

A. 40
B. 44
C. 48
D. 52
Explanation:
Let the capacity of the can be T litres.
Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (T – 8)
After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 T.
6T/11 – 8 = 4/9(T – 8)
10T = 792 – 352 => T = 44.

Asghar traveled from his house to his office at 10 km/hr and returned at rate of 9 km/hr. Rohit travelled through the same path both ways at 12 km/hr and took 10 minutes less than Asghar. What is the distance between Asghar’s house and his office?

A. 3000m
B. 7500m
C. 3750m
D. 7000m
Average speed for Raj is: v = (2*9*10)/(9+10) = 180/19 km/hr = 50/19 m/s
Average speed for Rohit = 12 km/hr = 10/3 m/s
Now, v = d/t
As d is same, v*t = constant.
Let, t be the time taken by Rohit in seconds. Hence, time taken by Raj is (t +600)s
50/19 * (t + 600) = 10/3 * t
150*(t + 600) = 190t
t = 2250s
Let d be the distance between the house and the office
2d = 2250 * 10/3
2d = 7500 m
d = 3750m

If a card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of cards, the probability of drawing a spade or a king is__________?

If a card is drawn from a well shuffled pack of cards, the probability of drawing a spade or a king is__________?

A. 19/52
B. 17/52
C. 5/13
D. 4/13
Explanation:
P(SᴜK) = P(S) + P(K) – P(S∩K), where S denotes spade and K denotes king.
P(SᴜK) = 13/52 + 4/52 – 1/52 = 4/13

A sum of Rs.4800 is invested at a compound interest for three years, the rate of interest being 10% p.a., 20% p.a. and 25% p.a. for the 1st, 2nd and the 3rd years respectively. Find the interest received at the end of the three years.

A. Rs.2520
B. Rs.3120
C. Rs.3320
D. Rs.2760
E. None of these
Explanation:
Let A be the amount received at the end of the three years.
A = 4800[1 + 10/100][1 + 20/100][1 + 25/100]
A = (4800 * 11 * 6 * 5)/(10 * 5 * 4)
A = Rs.7920
So the interest = 7920 – 4800 = Rs.3120
