Pipe A can fill a tank in 16 minutes and pipe B cam empty it in 24 minutes. If both the pipes are opened together after how many minutes should pipe B be closed, so that the tank is filled in 30 minutes?

Pipe A can fill a tank in 16 minutes and pipe B cam empty it in 24 minutes. If both the pipes are opened together after how many minutes should pipe B be closed, so that the tank is filled in 30 minutes?

A. 20
B. 24
C. 23
D. None of these
Explanation:
Let the pipe B be closed after x minutes.
30/16 – x/24 = 1 => x/24 = 30/16 – 1 = 14/16
=> x = 14/16 * 24 = 21.

A. Rs. 9423
B. Rs. 10,250
C. Rs. 12,500
D. Rs. 14,000
E. None of these
Explanation:
Simran : Nanda = (50000 * 36) : (80000 * 30) = 3:4
Simran’s = 24500 * 3/7 = Rs. 10500

If a boat is rowed downstream for 50 km in 5 hours and upstream for 24 km in 6 hours, what is the speed of the boat and the river?

If a boat is rowed downstream for 50 km in 5 hours and upstream for 24 km in 6 hours, what is the speed of the boat and the river?

A. (7 , 3) km/hr
B. (6 , 4) km/hr
C. (10 , 4) km/hr
D. None of these
If x: speed of boats man in still water
y: speed of the river
Downstream speed (Ds) = x + y
Upstream speed (Us) = x – y
x = (Ds + Us) / 2
y = (Ds – Us) / 2
In the above problem Ds = 10 ; Us = 4
x = (10 + 4) / 2 = 14/2 = 7 km/hr
y = (10 – 4)/2 = 6/2 = 3 km/hr

What will be the ratio of simple interest earned by certain amount at the same rate of interest for 6 years and that for 9 years ?

What will be the ratio of simple interest earned by certain amount at the same rate of interest for 6 years and that for 9 years ?

A. 1 : 3
B. 1 : 4
C. 2 : 3
D. Data inadequate
Let the principal be P and rate of interest be R%. So Required ratio = [(P x R x 6/100) / (13 x R x 9/100)] = 6PR/9PR = 6/9 = 2 : 3

A person ordered 5 pairs of black socks and some pairs of brown socks. The price of a black pair was thrice that of a brown pair while preparing the bill the bill clerk inter-changed the number of black and brown pairs by mistake which increased the bill by 100% what was the number of pair of brown socks in the original order?

A person ordered 5 pairs of black socks and some pairs of brown socks. The price of a black pair was thrice that of a brown pair while preparing the bill the bill clerk inter-changed the number of black and brown pairs by mistake which increased the bill by 100% what was the number of pair of brown socks in the original order?

A. 10
B. 15
C. 20
D. 25
Explanation:
Let the bought x pairs of brown socks and the price of each brown pair be Y.
Then total cost = 5x3Y+xy
Changed cost = 5xY+x*3Y
According to the question .
5y+3xy –(15y+xy)/15y+xy x 100% = 100%
=> 5y+3xy-15y-xy/ 15y+xy x100% = 100%
=> 5y+3xy = 15y+xy+15y+xy
=> 5y+3xy = 30y+2xy
=> xy= 25y
=> x=25.
Hence the original pair of brown socks = 25.

The length of a rectangular floor is more than its breadth by 200%. If Rs. 324 is required to paint the floor at the rate of Rs. 3 per sq m, then what would be the length of the floor?

The length of a rectangular floor is more than its breadth by 200%. If Rs. 324 is required to paint the floor at the rate of Rs. 3 per sq m, then what would be the length of the floor?

A. 27 m
B. 24 m
C. 18 m
D. 21 m
Let the length and the breadth of the floor be l m and b m respectively.
l = b + 200% of b = l + 2b = 3b
Area of the floor = 324/3 = 108 sq m
l b = 108 i.e., l * l/3 = 108
l2 = 324 => l = 18.
