Option 1: 50 days
Option 2: 10 days
Option 3: 20 days
Option 4: 30 days
Correct Answer: 30 days
Solution : $M_1$ = 100, $D_1$ = 9 days, $W_1$ = 540 kg $M_2$ = 50, $W_2$ = 900 kg where $M_1, M_2$ are numbers of cows, $D_1, D_2$ are days, and $W_1, W_2$ are weight of grass. We know, $\frac{M_1 × D_1}{W_1}$ = $\frac{M_2 ×

Question : Directions: A word is represented by only one set of numbers as given in any one of the alternatives. The sets of numbers given in the alternatives are represented by two classes of alphabets as in the two matrices given below. The columns and rows of Matrix I are numbered from 0 to 4 and that of Matrix II are numbered from 5 to 9. A letter from these matrices can be represented first by its row and next by its column, e.g., A can be represented by 00, 12, 23, etc., and P can be represented by 58, 69, 75, etc. Similarly, you have to identify the set for the word given in the question. PAST

Question : Directions: Three statements are given followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements. Statements: I. All cats are tigers. II. All tigers are lions. III. Some tigers are dogs. Conclusions: I. All cats are lions. II. Some dogs are lions.
Option 1: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 2: Both conclusions I and II follow
Option 3: Only conclusion I follows
Option 4: Only conclusion II follows
Correct Answer: Both conclusions I and II follow
Solution : The possible Venn diagram according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions – Conclusion (I): All cats are lions – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circle representing cats is completely overlapped
Question : On a deal, the car dealer allowed a 1% discount to a customer. If the discount allowed was Rs. 4000, then what is the selling price of the car?
Option 1: Rs. 388500
Option 2: Rs. 3,80,500
Option 3: Rs. 3,95,600
Option 4: Rs. 3,96,000
Correct Answer: Rs. 3,96,000
Solution : Given: On a deal, the car dealer allowed a 1% discount to a customer, the discount allowed was Rs. 4000. Let the marked price = 100% So, 1% is equivalent to Rs. 4000 Now 100% is equivalent to (4000 × 100) = Rs. 4,00,000
Question : The price of rice increased by 10%. By how much should we reduce the consumption, so that the expenditure does not increase on rice?
Option 1: $\frac{100}{11}$%
Option 2: $\frac{300}{7}$%
Option 3: $\frac{50}{3}$%
Option 4: $\frac{51}{7}$%
Correct Answer: $\frac{100}{11}$%
Solution : Given: The price of rice increased by 10%. Let the original price of the rice be 100. After the increase, the new price = (100 + 10) = 110 To not increase the expenditure, the consumption needs to be decreased. So, the decrease percentage =

Question : If a sum is invested at simple interest, then it becomes $\frac{3}{2}$ of itself in 4 years. What is the annual rate of interest?
Option 1: 6.5 percent
Option 2: 12.5 percent
Option 3: 17.5 percent
Option 4: 10 percent
Correct Answer: 12.5 percent
Solution : The sum becomes $\frac{3}{2}$ times itself in 4 years ⇒ $P +\frac{P×R×T}{100} = \frac{3}{2}$$P$ ⇒ $P+\frac{P×R×4}{100} = \frac{3}{2}$$P$ ⇒ $1+\frac{R×4}{100} = \frac{3}{2}$ ⇒ $\frac{R×4}{100} = \frac{1}{2}$ ⇒ R = $\frac{1}{2} × \frac{100}{4}$ ⇒ R = $\frac{25}{2}$ = 12.5% Hence, the correct answer is 12.5
