Question : Three bottles of equal capacity contain mixtures of milk and water in ratios 2 : 5, 3 : 4, and 4 : 5. These three bottles are emptied into a large bottle. What will be the ratio of milk and water respectively in the large bottle?

Option 1: 73 : 106

Option 2: 73 : 116

Option 3: 73 : 113

Option 4: 73 : 189

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 73 : 116


Solution : Let the capacity of each bottle be $x$ units.
Bottle 1 has milk : water = 2 : 5
Bottle 2 has milk : water = 3 : 4
Bottle 3 has milk : water = 4 : 5
Bottle 1 contains milk = $\frac{2x}{7}$, water = $\frac{5x}{7}$
Bottle 2 contains milk = $\frac{3x}{7}$, water = $\frac{4x}{7}$
Bottle 3 contains milk = $\frac{4x}{9}$, water = $\frac{5x}{9}$
When mixed, the ratio of milk and water is:
$= (\frac{2x}{7}+\frac{3x}{7}+\frac{4x}{9}) : (\frac{5x}{7}+\frac{4x}{7}+\frac{5x}{9})$
$= (\frac{18x+27x+28x}{63}) : (\frac{45x+36x+35x}{63})$
$= 73: 116$
Hence, the correct answer is 73 : 116.

Question : A sum becomes Rs.15,500 in 7 years on simple interest at the rate of 30 percent per annum. What is the total interest for the 7 years?

Option 1: Rs. 12,200

Option 2: Rs. 1,47,000

Option 3: Rs. 10,500

Option 4: Rs. 11,500

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 10,500


Solution : Given, Sum= Rs. 15500
Rate of interest (r) = 30% per annum
Time (t) = 7 years
Let the principal be P.
⇒ [P + (simple interest)] = sum
⇒ [P + $\frac{\text{Prt}}{100}$] = sum
⇒ [P + $\frac{\text{P} × 30 × 7}{100}$] = 15500
⇒ [P + $\frac{\text{P} × 210}{100}$] = 15500
⇒ [P + $\frac{\text{21P}}{10}$] = 15500
⇒ $\frac{31\text{P}}{10}$ = 15500
⇒ P = $15500 × \frac{10}{31}$
⇒ P = 5000
Simple interest = 15500 – 5000 = Rs. 10500
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 10500.

Question : The total cost of a dishwasher and a vacuum cleaner was INR 78,750. The vacuum cleaner was sold at a profit of 37% and the dishwasher at a loss of 23%. If the selling price was the same for both items, then the cost price of the cheaper item was:

Option 1: INR 51,375

Option 2: INR 29,375

Option 3: INR 30,750

Option 4: INR 28,335

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 28,335


Solution : Let the cost price of the dishwater and vacuum cleaner be INR $y$ and INR $x$, respectively.
Total cost price of a dishwasher and a vacuum cleaner = INR 78,750
$x$ + $y$ = $78750$-------------------(i)
Profit of vacuum cleaner = 37% of $x$ = $0.37x$
Selling price of vacuum cleaner = $x$ + $0.37x$ = $1.37x$
Also, the loss of dishwasher = 23% of $y$ = $0.23y$
So, selling price of dishwasher = $y$ – $0.23y$ = $0.77y$
Since both have the same selling price,
⇒ $1.37x = 0.77y$
From equation (i),
⇒ $1.37(78750-y) = 0.77y$
⇒ $2.14y =107887.5$
⇒ $y$ = INR $50414.7 $
So, $x=78750-y= 78750-50414.7=28335.3$ = INR 28,335 approx
⇒ Since the vacuum cleaner is less expensive than the dishwasher.
Hence, the correct answer is INR 28,335.

Question : $x$ does $\frac{1}{4}$ of a job in 6 days. $y$ completes the rest of the job in 12 days. Then $x$ and $y$ could complete the job together in:

Option 1: $9$ days

Option 2: $9\frac{3}{5}$ days

Option 3: $8\frac{1}{8}$ days

Option 4: $7\frac{1}{3}$ days

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $9\frac{3}{5}$ days


Solution : Time taken by $x$ to complete $\frac{1}{4}$ of a job = 6 days
Time taken by $x$ to complete whole work = 6 × 4 = 24 days
Part of work done by $x$ in a day = $\frac{1}{24}$
Time taken by $y$ to complete $\frac{3}{4}$ of a job = 12 days
Time taken by $y$ to complete whole work = $\frac{12 × 4}{3}$ = 16 days
Part of work done by $y$ in a day = $\frac{1}{16}$
Part of work done by $x$ and $y$ in a day = $\frac{1}{24}$ + $\frac{1}{16}$ = $\frac{4 + 6}{96}$ = $\frac{10}{96}$
Time taken by $x$ and $y$ together to complete whole work = $\frac{96}{10}$ = $9\frac{3}{5}$ days
Hence, the correct answer is $9\frac{3}{5}$ days.
