Ans: Let initial investment of A is 3x and B is 5x, then C investment is also 5x, but most important to note in this question is the time duration of investment 
Like, A invested for 12 months, B invested for 12 months and C invested for 6 months.

20:50:64

Ans: Let their investments be Rs. x for 14 months, Rs. y for 8 months and Rs. z for 7 months respectively 
Then, 14x : 8y : 7z = 5 : 7 : 8 
Now, 14x/8y = 5/7 
y = (49/20)x 
14x/7z = 5/8 
z = (16/5)x 
x:y:z = x:(49/20)x:(16/5)x

18. A circular garden has a circumference of 440 m. There is a 7 m wide border inside the garden along its periphery. The area of the border is :

2918 m^2

2921 m^2

2924 m^2

2926 m^2

Ans: 2πR = 440 
2 × 22/7 x R = 440 
R = 70 m. 
Inside radius = ( 70 – 7 ) m = 63 m 
Area of the border = π [(70)^2 – (63)^2]m^2 
= [22/7 x (70 + 63 ) x ( 70 – 63 ) ] m2 = 2926m^2

19. In a bag, there are three types of coins – 1 rupee, 50 paise and 25 paise in the ratio of 3 : 8 : 20. Their total value is Rs. 372. The total number of coins is

8 min

12 min

15 min

20 min

Ans: let B be closed after x min. then , 
Part filled by (A+B) in x min. +part filled by A in (18-x)min.=1 
Therefore x*((1/24)+(1/32))+(18-x)*(1/24)=1
(7x/96) + ((18-x)/24)=1. 
7x +4*(18-x)=96. 
Hence, be must be closed after 8 min.

6. A cycle is sold at a profit of 15%. If both the cost price and selling price is decreased by Rs. 200 the profit would be 5% more what is the original cost price of cycle ?

1) Rs. 1200

2) Rs. 1000

3) Rs. 800

4) Rs. 600

Answer:6. 3

Let the original cost proce is x, so SP is

115x/100 = 23x/20

Now CP = x - 200

SP = 23x/20 - 200

Profit = 23x/20 - 200 - (x - 200) = 23x/20 - x = 3x/20

% Profit = 3x/20 * 1/(x - 200) * 100 = 20

3x/(x - 200) = 4

3x = 4x - 800

x = 800

7. A person lends Rs. 4200 to 'A' for 3 years and Rs. 6500 to 'B' for 7 years. If the person gets Rs. 8134 as interest then what is the rate of interest per annum ?

1) 6%

2) 8%

3) 10%

4) 14%

Answer: 

7. 4

Let the rate of interest is r% p.a.

4200*r*3/100 + 6500*r*7/100 = 8134

126r + 455r = 8134

r = 8134/581 = 14% p.a.

8. A sum amounts to Rs. 98010 in 2 years and to Rs. 107811 in 3 years compounded annually. What is the sum ?

1) Rs. 81000

2) Rs. 84000

3) Rs. 87000

4) Rs. 90000

Answer:(1)

P (1 + R/100)^3 = 107811

p(1 + r/100)^2 = 98010

1 + r/100 = 107811/98010

r/100 = 9801/98010

r = 10%

P = (1 + 10/100)^2 = 98010

p = 98010 * 100/121 = 81000

9.4 men and 6 women finish a job in 8 days, while 3 men and 7 women finish it in 10 days. In how many days will 10 women working together finish it ?

A.30 days

B.40 days

C.50 days

D.60 days

Answer:9.(B)

Let 1 man's 1 day work = x

and 1 woman's 1 days work = y.

Then, 4x + 6y = 1/8

and 3x+7y = 1/10

solving, we get y = 1/400 [means work done by a woman in 1 day]

10 women 1 day work = 10/400 = 1/40

10 women will finish the work in 40 days

10.10 women can complete a work in 7 days and 10 children take 14 days to complete the work. How many days will 5 women and 10 children take to complete the work?

A.6 days

B.7 days

C.8 days

D.9 days

Answer:(B)

1 woman's 1 day's work = 1/70

1 Child's 1 day's work = 1/140

5 Women and 10 children 1 day work =

(5/70+10/140)=1/7

So 5 women and 10 children will finish the work in 7 days.
