- C. ? 140
- D. ? 175
- Correct Answer
- ? 140
Explanationlet the saving of A and B are 4M , 5M and the share in cost of gift are 3N, 4N respectively
According to the question
for A, 4M - 3N = (2/3) x 4M
? M = 9N/4.............(i)
For B 5M - 4N = 145
? 5 x (9N/4) - 4N = 145 [by Eq. (i)]
? N = 20
? Cost of gift = 3N + 4N = 7 x 20 = ? 140 - 1. If the Price of 6 toys is Rs. 264.37, What will be the approximate price (Rs) of 5 toys?

Correct Answer: 100 m
Explanation:
Ratio of the speeds of A and B = 5 : 3
Thus, in a race of 5m, A gains 2 m over B.
2 m are gained by A in a race of 5 m.
40 m will be gained by A in a race of (5/2) x 40 m = 100 m
? Winning post is 100 m away from the starting point.
Correct Answer: 2 km/hr
Explanation:
Velocity of stream = (downstream velocity - upstream velocity)/2
= (60/10 - 60/30)/2
= 2 km/hr
Correct Answer: 16 years
Explanation:
Let their ages one years ago be 4x and 3x years.
? (4x + 2)/(3x + 2) = 5 / 4
? 4(4x + 2) = 5(3x + 2)
? x = 2
? Sum of their present ages = (4x + 1) + (3x + 1) = 16 years
Correct Answer: 757704
Explanation:
Required number
= 786 x 964 = 757704
Correct Answer: Rs. 60
Explanation:
Let the C.P. be Rs. x
Then 2(69 - x) / 100 = (78 - x) / 100
? 138 - 2x = 78 - x
? x = 60
? C.P. = Rs. 60

Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
Let N = 312 x 28
? log N = 12 x log3 + 8 x log 2
? log N = 12 x 0.47712 + 8 x 0.30103
? log N = 8.13368
? No.of digits = 8 + 1 = 9
