1In a partnership business, Partner A invests 1/6 of the total capital for 1/6 of the total time, Partner B invests 1/3 of the total capital for 1/3 of the total time, and Partner C invests the remaining capital for the entire duration of the business. If the total profit earned at the end of the year is ₹4,600, what is Partner C's share of the profit?
A.₹3,200
B.₹3,400
C.₹3,600
D.₹3,800
Explanation: To find the profit share, we calculate the investment-time product ratio. Let total capital be C and total time be T. A's share = (C/6) * (T/6) = CT/36. B's share = (C/3) * (T/3) = CT/9 = 4CT/36. C's remaining capital = C - (C/6 + C/3) = C/2. C's time = T. So, C's share = (C/2) * T = CT/2 = 18CT/36. The ratio of their profit shares A:B:C is 1:4:18. Total parts = 1 + 4 + 18 = 23. C's share of profit = (18/23) * ₹4,600 = 18 * ₹200 = ₹3,600.
2A sum of ₹12,000 is invested in a scheme offering 10% per annum compound interest, compounded annually for 2 years. If the same sum was invested in another scheme offering simple interest at 10.25% per annum for the same period of 2 years, what is the difference in the interest earned between the two schemes?
A.₹40
B.₹60
C.₹80
D.₹100
Explanation: For the compound interest scheme, CI = P * [(1 + R/100)^2 - 1] = 12000 * [(1.1)^2 - 1] = 12000 * 0.21 = ₹2,520. For the simple interest scheme, SI = P * R * T / 100 = 12000 * 10.25 * 2 / 100 = 12000 * 0.205 = ₹2,460. The difference between the two interests is ₹2,520 - ₹2,460 = ₹60.
3A trader sells an article at a profit of 20%. Had he bought it at 10% less cost and sold it for ₹18 less, he would have gained 25%. What is the original cost price of the article?
A.₹200
B.₹240
C.₹280
D.₹320
Explanation: Let the original Cost Price (CP) be x. Original Selling Price (SP) = 1.20x. New CP = 0.90x. New SP = 1.20x - 18. According to the question, the new profit percentage is 25%. So, New SP = 1.25 * New CP => 1.20x - 18 = 1.25 * 0.90x => 1.20x - 18 = 1.125x => 0.075x = 18 => x = 18 / 0.075 = ₹240.
4Two trains, one 150 metres long and the other 120 metres long, run on parallel tracks. Running in the same direction, the faster train passes the slower one completely in 54 seconds; running in opposite directions they pass each other completely in 6 seconds. What is the speed of the faster train (in km/h)?
A.64 km/h
B.72 km/h
C.80 km/h
D.90 km/h
Explanation: Combined length = 150 + 120 = 270 m. Same direction: relative speed = 270/54 = 5 m/s = (x − y). Opposite directions: relative speed = 270/6 = 45 m/s = (x + y). Adding: 2x = 50, so x = 25 m/s = 25 × 3.6 = 90 km/h for the faster train.
5A vessel contains 60 liters of a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 3:2. If 10 liters of this mixture is replaced with 10 liters of pure milk, and then this process is repeated one more time (total 2 replacements), what is the final ratio of milk to water in the vessel?
A.7:3
B.9:4
C.13:5
D.17:7
Explanation: Initial volume = 60 liters. Ratio of Milk:Water = 3:2, so Milk = 36L, Water = 24L. Using the formula for remaining quantity of water: Water_final = Water_initial * (1 - Quantity replaced / Total volume)^n = 24 * (1 - 10/60)^2 = 24 * (5/6) * (5/6) = 24 * 25 / 36 = 16.67 liters. The remaining water is 50/3 liters. Total volume remains 60 liters, so Milk_final = 60 - 50/3 = 130/3 liters. The ratio of Milk:Water = (130/3) : (50/3) = 13:5.
6An urn contains 5 red, 4 blue, and 3 green balls. If three balls are drawn at random one after another without replacement, what is the probability that all three balls are of different colors?
A.3/11
B.9/22
C.3/22
D.6/11
Explanation: Total balls = 5 + 4 + 3 = 12. Number of ways to choose 3 balls from 12 is 12C3 = (12 * 11 * 10) / (3 * 2 * 1) = 220. The number of ways to choose 1 ball of each color (1 red, 1 blue, 1 green) is 5C1 * 4C1 * 3C1 = 5 * 4 * 3 = 60. Therefore, the probability that all three balls are of different colors is 60 / 220 = 3/11.
7If A:B = 3:4, B:C = 5:6, and C:D = 2:3, find the ratio of A:D.
A.5:12
B.5:8
C.3:8
D.1:2
Explanation: We can find A:D by multiplying the individual ratios: A/D = (A/B) * (B/C) * (C/D) = (3/4) * (5/6) * (2/3). Simplifying the terms: the 3 in the numerator and denominator cancel out, leaving (5 * 2) / (4 * 6) = 10 / 24 = 5/12. Thus, A:D is 5:12.
8A can complete a task in 12 days and B can complete it in 15 days. They work together for 5 days and then A leaves. In how many days will B complete the remaining work alone?
A.2.5 days
B.3 days
C.3.5 days
D.3.75 days
Explanation: Let the total work be the LCM of 12 and 15, which is 60 units. A's efficiency = 60/12 = 5 units/day. B's efficiency = 60/15 = 4 units/day. Combined efficiency = 9 units/day. In 5 days, they complete 5 * 9 = 45 units of work. Remaining work = 60 - 45 = 15 units. Time taken by B to complete this remaining work = 15 / 4 = 3.75 days.
9In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'MANAGEMENT' be arranged so that the vowels always come together?
A.7,560
B.15,120
C.5,040
D.10,080
Explanation: The word 'MANAGEMENT' has 10 letters: M(2), A(2), N(2), G(1), E(2), T(1). Vowels are A, A, E, E (4 vowels). Consonants are M, N, G, M, N, T (6 consonants). Treat the vowels as a single block: [AAEE]. Now we have 6 consonants + 1 block = 7 items. The consonants have duplicates: M(2), N(2). So, arrangements of these 7 items = 7! / (2! * 2!) = 5040 / 4 = 1260. The 4 vowels inside the block [AAEE] can be arranged in 4! / (2! * 2!) = 24 / 4 = 6 ways. Total arrangements = 1260 * 6 = 7,560.
10In a certain code language, if 'BOARD' is coded as 'ERDUG', how is 'CLERK' coded in that same language?
A.FODQL
B.FOHUN
C.FOBQJ
D.FODSH
Explanation: Applying a constant +3 shift to each letter of CLERK: C (+3) = F, L (+3) = O, E (+3) = H, R (+3) = U, K (+3) = N. Therefore, 'CLERK' is coded as 'FOHUN'.
