Solutions:
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. ‘SHELTER’
Required no. of ways =5!/2!×2!
= 120
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol.
Final quantity of water in mixture
=15/100×6+10/100×4+0.5
= 1.8 litre
∴ Required percentage =1.8/12×100
= 15%
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol.
Ratio of efficiencies of A and B = 3 : 2
∴ One hour work of both A and B =1/20+3/(2×20)
=1/8
i.e. A and B together will finish the work in 8 hrs.
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol.
Since rate of flow is proportional to Diameter
∴ Outlet rate of flow = 2 × 5
= 10 gallons/min
Time taken by outlet Pipe to empty the tank
=100/10=10 min
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol.
Ratio of investments of A and B = 10,000 : 4000
= 5 : 2
Profit of A = 5x
Profit of B = 2x + 12 × 100
= 2x + 1200
∴ 5x + 2x + 1200 = 4000
⇒ x = 400
∴ Profit of A = 2000
Profit of B = 2000
