Solutions:
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Let he borrowed Rs P from Jayant
(P×8×4)/100+(P×10×6)/100+(P×5×12)/100=12,160
⇒ P = Rs 8000
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. A number will be divisible by 5 if it has either 5 or 0 at its end.
∴ Total numbers formed which are divisible by 5 = (5 × 4 × 3 × 2) + (4 × 4 × 3 × 2)
= 216
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Let total wine = 100 li
∴ alcohol = 40 li, water 60 li
Let x amount is taken out
∴ new quantity of alcohol =2/5×(100-x)+x/4
⇒40-2x/5+x/4=30/100×100
⇒3x/20=10
⇒x=200/3
∴ Required answer = 2/3
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Ratio of efficiencies of Ajit, Baljit and Diljet respectively
=3/2:1∶4/5
= 15 : 10 : 8
∴ Time taken by Baljit
=33/10×20
= 66 days
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. 10/3×18/5 = 12 km/h
Sol. 10/3×18/5 = 12 km/h
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. reduction in consumption
=15/((100+15) )×100=15/115×100
=300/23=13 1/23%
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Required Reduction in price
=20/((100+20) )×100=20/120×100
= 16 2/3%
