Question 111

Mr X invested a certain amount in Debt and equity Funds in the ratio of 4:5. At the end of one year he earned a total dividend of 30% on his investment.After one year he reinvested the amount including the dividend in the ratio of 6:7 in Debt and Equity Funds.If the amount reinvested in Equity Funds was rs 94,500,what was the original amount invested in Equity Funds ?

Video Solution

Solution

Let the original amount invested be x.

Hence, the amount with him after recieving the dividend is 1.3x.

Now, this amount was reinvested in ratio 6:7 in debt and equity funds. Amount invested in equity fund was 94,500

Hence, (0.7x/1.3)=94,500, x=175500

now, the original amount invested in equity was (5/9)*175500=97,500

Question 112

The age of the father is 30 years more than the son’s age.Ten years hence the father’s age will become three times the son’s age that time.What is the son’s present age in years?

Video Solution

Solution

Let the son age be x and fathers age be y.

The solution is obtained by solving two simultaneous equations as per given conditions,

x=y+10 and x+10=3(y+10)

Hence, y = 5

Question 113

If the length of a rectangular field is increased by 20% and the breadth is reduced by 20% the area of the rectangle will be $$192m^{2}$$. What is the area of the original rectangle ?

Video Solution

Solution

Let the length be L and breadth be B. The new length and breadth is 1.2L and 0.8B.

Hence, area = 1.2L*.8B=192

Now L*B=200, but original area = L*B= 200

Question 114

The product of one-third of a number and 150% of another number is what per cent of the product of the original numbers ?

Video Solution

Solution

Let the number be x and another number be y.

Now, the product of number and another number = x*y

As per given condition, new product (x/3)*1.5y=0.5xy

Now, per cent of the product of the original numbers= (0.5xy/xy)*100=50

Question 115

Inside a square plot,a circular garden is developed which exactly fits in the square plot and the diameter of the garden is equal to the side of the square plot which is 28 meters. What is the area of the space left out in the square plot after developing the garden ?

Video Solution

Solution

Here, diameter of plot= 28m, radius= 14m.
Area of circular plot = (22/7)*14*14=22*28
Area of square plot= 28*28
Difference of areas= 28*28-22*28=168

Question 116

Amit and sujit together can complete an assignment of data entry in five days. Sujit’s speed 80% of Amit’s speed and the total key depressions in the assignment are 5,76,000. What is Amit’s speed in key depressions per hour if they work for 8 hours a day ?

Video Solution

Solution

Let, amit's speed be x and sujit's speed be y. y=.8x
They work for total 8*5= 40 hours
x+y=(576000)/40
1.8x=14400
x=8000

Amit speed is 8000 depressions/hr

Question 117

Out of five girls and three boys,four children are to be randomly selected for a quiz contest.What is the probability that all the selected children are girls ?

Video Solution

Solution

The girls can be chosen in 5C4 ways.
The total candidates can be chosen in 8C4 ways.
Hence,
Probability=5C4/8C4= 1/14
Correct option is option A

Question 118

Profit earned by organisation is distributed among officers and clerks in the ratio of 5:3 If the number of officers is 45 and the number of clerks is 80 and the amount received by each officer is rs 25,000 what was the total amount of profit earned ?

Video Solution

Solution

The total amount distributed among officers = 45*25000= 11,25,000

If the total amount is x, then this amount is (5/8)x=11,25,000

Hence, x=18,00,000

Question 119

A shopkeeper labelled the price of the articles so as to earn a profit of 30% on the cost price. He then sold the articles by offering a discount of 10% on the labelled price what is the actual per profit earned in the deal ?

Video Solution

Solution

Let the cost price be x.
As per given condition, the labelled price will be 1.3x.
Discounted price will be 0.9*1.3x= 1.17x
Now, Profit = Price at which item was sold - Cost Price = 1.17x - x = .17x = 17% of Cost price.
Hence, profit is 17%.

Question 120

Mr Shamin’s salary increase every year by 10% in june. If there is no other increase or reduction in the salary and his salary in June 2011 was rs 22,385, what was his salary in June 2009 ?
