SolutionsfortheaboveaptitudeQuestions:
1).LettheincomesofAandBbe2xand3xrespectively.EachofthemsavesRS.12000.
Now,(2x12000)/(3x12000)=1/3
Or,6x36000=3x12000or,3x=24000
x=RS.8000
HenceincomeofA=2x=80002=RS.16000
Answer:d)
2).Heightofthetreenow=20feetHeightofthetreeafter3yearsattherateof5%increaseper
year=20(105/100)(105/100)(105/100)=23.1525feet
Requiredincrease=(23.152520)feet=3.1525feet
Answer:c)
3).LetCbe100,thenB=80
A=(80180)/100=144
Requiredratio=144:100=36:25
Answer:a)
4).Iftwoarticlesboughtondifferentprices,aresoldforthesamepriceat%gainor%loss,then
(CPofFirstarticle/CPofSecondarticle)
=(100%gainorlossonthesecondarticle/100%gainorlossonthefirstarticle)
Or,8000/x=(100+20)/(100+25)or,8000/x=120/125
x=(8000125)/120
x=RS.8333.33
Answer:b)
5).CP=RS.1000
SPat40%discount=(10060)/100=RS.600
Discount=1000600=400
SPattwosuccessivediscountsof30%and5%
=1000(70/100)(95/100)=RS.665
Discount=1000665=335
Requireddifference=400335=RS.65
Answer:e)
6).LettheloantakenfromthefirstbankbeRS.x.
Loanfromthesecondbank=RS.(20000x)
Interestofthefirstbank+interestofthesecondbank=1900
Now,(x81)/100+[(20000x)101]/100=1900
Or,8x+20000010x=190000
or,2x=10000
x=RS.5000

Answer:e)
7).P=RS.18000
R=10%pa=(10/2)%halfyearly
r=5%halfyearly
Timewillbedoublewheninterestiscalculatedhalfyearly,ie1(1/2)years2=3years
Amount=18000(I+(r/100))t
=18000(1+[5/100)]3
=18000(105/100)(105/100)(105/100)
=RS.20837.25
CI=20837.2518000=RS.2837.5
Answer:d)
8).M1D1H1=M2D2H2
Now,301620=24D20
Or,D=(301620)/(2024)
D=20days
Answer:c)
9).Requiredtime=(Productofbothtimes/Differenceofbothtimes)
=(1230)/(3012)
=(1230)/18=20hours
Answer:a)
10).Circumferenceofthewheel=2r
=2(22/7)28cm=176cm
Thedistancecoveredbythewheelin1minute=(1761000)cm=176000cm
Speedofthewheel=176000/(60100)m/s
29.33m/s
Answer:c)
