Solutions:
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Efficiency Mohit : Aman =1+1/5:1=6∶5
Given
5→42 days
∴ 6→(42×5)/6=35 days=x days
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol.
Hence
2M=3W=4Y
∴ (14M + 12W + 12Y) = 14 + 8 + 6 = 28 Men
Total Unit = 28 × 24
∴ 28 × 24 = x ×24
x=48
Total no. of men required for additional labour = 48 – 28 = 20 men
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol.
Let the total quantity of mixture be x ℓ.
∴ 3x=7(x-16) or x=28l
∴ quantity of milk = 12ℓ
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol.
Let selling price = x
C.P. for Vineet =((100-25))/100 x=0.75x
C.P. for Roshan =1/1.15 x
[x-0.75x]-[x-1/1.15 x]=275
x=2300
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol.
Let C’s share = Rs. x
∴ B’s share=75/100×x=3x/4
A’s share=5/4×3x/4=15x/16
∴15x/16+3x/4+x=6,192
⇒ x = Rs. 2,304
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol.
Let the original bill was Rs. P
∴7P/10+7P/10×18/100=4743-200
⇒(7×118P)/1000=4543
⇒P=5500
∴ Service charge paid by him=7/10×5500×8/100
=Rs.308
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Let marked price = Rs. x
∴ 24×400/300=x×80/100
⇒ x = Rs. 40
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol.
Ratio of milk and water after 1st operation = 48 : 12 = 4 : 1
Final quantity of milk=(60 –12)×4/5
=38.4 l
