Solutions for Railway Exam Maths Questions and Answers:

Solutions:

SP of 12 books=1800
SP=CP + Profit
Given, Profit of 12 books=3CP
∴1800=12CP + 3CP
15CP=1800
CP=120

Let x be the principal amount and r be the compound interest.
The amount after first year =$x + xr$
the amount after second year=$(x + xr) +(xr + xr^{2})=x+2xr + xr^{2}=x(1+r)^{2}$=16900 -(1)
Similarly, the amount after third year =$x(1 + r)^{3}$= 17576 -(2)
dividing 2 by 1 we get,
1+r=1.04
r=.04
Thus the interest is 4%.

$P (1 + .05) ^ {3}$ – P= 630.5
Solving for P, we get P = 4000

Let there be x 10 rupee notes in the sum. The number of 5 rupee notes = 80 – x
The sum = 10x + (80 – x)* 5 = 625
So, x = 45

Let there be x men initially. They were supposed to complete the work in 20 days.
When 12 men didn’t show up the work was done in 32 days
So, x- 12 men did the work in 32 days
But x-12 men were supposed to take 20x/ (x-12) days
So, 20 x/ (x-12) = 32
so, x = 32

Let there be m men originally to work in 60 days
If the men were m + 8, the work would be completed in 50 days.
(m+8)/m = 60/50
So, m = 40

2 boys = 1 man
So, 21 men can do work W is 60 days working 7.5 hours per day.
to do 2W, 42 men are needed.
To do the job in 50 days, 60 x 42 / 50 men are needed.
To do the job working 9 hours a day, 7.5/9 x 60 x42/50 men are needed
= 42 men
We only have 21 men so, we get 42 extra boys to get the work needed for the 21 extra men.

Let his monthly salary be x rupees.
So, 5 (x – 1200) + 7 (x-1300) = 2900
12x – 6000 – 9100 = 2900
So, x = 18000/12 = 1500
