- Question
- Subbarao was approached by two neighbour for loan. He had ? 2540, a part of which he lent to one person at 12% interest per annum and the other part was lent to the second person at 12.5%. At the end of a year, Subbarao received ? 311.60 as interest on the total loan . Calculate the amount of money of money lent by him at 12% interest .?
Options- A. ? 1360
- B. ? 1340
- C. ? 1240
- D. ? 1180
- Correct Answer
- ? 1180
ExplanationLet the amount of money lent at 12% interest be ? P.
? Amount of money lent at 12.5% interest = ? (2540 - P)
According to the question;
(P x 12 x 1)/100 + [(2540 - P) x 12.5 x 1]/100 = 311.60
? -0.5P/100 + 31750/100 = 311.60
? 0.5P = 31750 - 31160 = 590
? P = ? 1180 - 1. In a class of 30 students , the average weight of boys is 20 kg and the average weight of the girls is 25 kg . The fraction of boys out of the total students of the class is

Correct Answer: Data insufficient
Explanation:
Let us assume the number of boys = B and number of girls = G.
According to question,
B + G = 30
Lets us assume total weight of boys = W1 and total weight of girls = W2
average weight of boys = total weight of boys/number of boys
total weight of boys/number of boys = 20
W1/B = 20
W1 = 20B
average weight of girls = total weight of girls/number of girls
25 = W2/G
W2 = 25G
Data is not sufficient to solve the equation.
since we do not know either the average weight of the whole class or the ratio of no. of boys to girls.
Correct Answer: 149
Explanation:
Given, a = 12, b =16 , c =18, k = 5
According to the formula,
Required number =(LCM of a, b and c) + k
= (LCM Of 12, 16, 18) + 5
LCM of 12, 16, 18 is
? LCM = 2 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 3 = 144
? Required number =144 + 5 = 149
Correct Answer: ? 54000
Explanation:
Let R's capital = 1
Then, Q's capital = 4
2 (P's capital) = 3 (Q's capital) = 3 x 4 = 12
? P's capital = 12/2 = 6
? P's share : Q's share : R's share = 6 : 4 : 1
Thus, Q's share profit = { 4/(6 + 4 + 1)} x 148500
= (4/11) x 148500
= 4 x 13500
= ? 54000
Correct Answer: 40
Explanation:
Let numbers are 2N and 3N.
According to the question, 6N = 48
? N = 8 ( ? LCM = 6N )
? Required sum = ( 2N + 3N ) = 5N
= 5 x 8 = 40
Correct Answer: Rs. 4000
Explanation:
Given Ratio = 7/2 : 4/3 : 6/5 = 105 : 40 : 36
Let them initially invest Rs. 105, Rs. 40 and Rs. 36 respectively.
Ratio investment = [105 x 4 + (150% of 105) x 8] : (40 x 12) : (36 x 12)
=1680 : 480 : 432 = 35 : 10 : 9
? B's share = Rs. 21600 x (10/54) = Rs. 4000
Correct Answer: Divisible by (11 x 13)
Explanation:
LCM of 11 and 13 will be (11 x 13). Hence, if a number is exactly divisible by 11 x 13, then the same number must be exactly divisible by their LCM or by (11 x 13).
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 16
Explanation:
Let numbers are 5N and 6N.
Now, HCF of these two numbers is N.
We know that,
LCM x HCF = Product of two numbers
? 480 x N = 5N x 6N
? 480N = 30N2
? N =16
Correct Answer: 60 days
Explanation:
A's 1 day's work = (1/15 - 1/20) = 1/60
? A alone can finish it in 60 days.
Correct Answer: 2/35
Explanation:
We have, m x n = 6 x 210 = 1260
? 1/m + 1/n = (m + n)/mn = 72/1260 = 4/70 = 2/35
