Correct Answer: Rs. 2500
Explanation:
As we know that,
1 Dozen = 12 piece
49 Dozen = 49 x 12 piece
Price of 357 apples is Rs. 1517.25.
Price of 1 apples is Rs. 1517.25 / 357.
Price of 49 x 12 apples is Rs. 1517.25 x 49 x 12 / 357.
Price of 49 x 12 apples is Rs. 1517.25 x 7 x 12 / 51.
Price of 49 x 12 apples is Rs. 1517.25 x 7 x 4 / 17.
Price of 49 x 12 apples is Rs. 2499.
So Price will be around 2500 and answer will be 2500.
Correct Answer: 30 years
Explanation:
Let A's age = x years and B's age = y years
As per the first condition,
? (x + 15) = 2(y + 15)
? x - 2 y = 15 ....(i)
As the per second condition,
? (x - 5) = 4(y - 5)
? x - 4 y = -15 ....(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) one get's, x = 45, y = 15
? A's age = 45 years
B's age = 15 years
? Difference of their ages = 45 - 15 = 30 years
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
? S / F = 1 / 5
? F = 5 S, .....(i)
? M / F = 4 / 5
? M = 4 / 5 F ....(ii)
? (S + 2) / (M + 2) = 3 / 10
? 10S + 20 = 3M + 6 ....(iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii)
? (12 - 10)S = 20 - 6
? 2S = 14
? S = 7 years
? F = 5S = 5 x 7 = 35 years.
Correct Answer: 26 s
Explanation:
Relative speed = (84 + 60) km/h = 144 km/h = 144 x (5/18) = 8 m/s
Distance covered in passing each other = 512 + 528 = 1040 m
? Required time = 1040/40 = 26 s
Correct Answer: 12 days
Explanation:
Let the required number of days be N.
Remaining work = 1 - 5/8 = 3/8
Less work, Less days (Direct proportion)
5/8 : 3/8 : : 20 : N
? N = (3/8) x 20 x 8/5
? N = 12 days
Correct Answer: 12/36
Explanation:
n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36
n(E) = (1, 2) (2, 1), (1, 5) (2, 4) (3, 3) (4, 2) (5, 1) (3, 6) (4, 5) (5, 4) (6, 3) (6, 6) = 12
? P(E) = 12/36
Correct Answer: 14/7
Explanation:
Given expression = 1 + 1 ÷ {1 + 1 ÷ (1 + 1/3)}
= 1 + 1 ÷ { 1 + 1 ÷ 4/3}
= 1 + 1 ÷ { 1 + 3/4}
= 1 + 1 ÷ 7/4
= 1 + 1 x 4/7
= 1 + 4/7
= 14/7
Correct Answer: Rs. 24
Explanation:
T.D. = ?(P.W.) X {(B.G.)
= ?(576 x 1) = Rs. 24
Correct Answer: ? 11000
Explanation:
Total cost of 30 TV sets = ? 300000
Total cost of 15 TV sets = 9000 x 15 = 135000
Total cost of remaining 15 TV sets = 300000 - 135000 = 165000
? Average cost of remaining TV sets = 165000/15 = ? 11000
Correct Answer: 3years
Explanation:
Let the age of youngest child be y.
Then y + ( y + 2 ) = ( 24 x 6 ) - ( 24 x 4 + 4 x 10)
= 144 - 136
? 2y + 2 = 8
? y =3 years
