A1500

B1200

C1000

D1625

Nithin K ? Apr 2 '2018 at 20:15

Answer is 1200

Explanation:

  Percentage of failures = (100 − 65)% = 35%

 Let the total number of examinees be x.

Then,

 \(35\text{% of x} =420 \implies \frac{35}{100} \times x = 420\)

\(\implies x = \Big[420 \times \frac{100}{35}\Big] =1200\)

Answer is: [C] 14 days 

Explanation:

A can do a piece of work in 18 days,--------A's rate is 1/18 job/day
---------------------- 
B in 27 days -------------------------------B's rate is 1/27 job/day
C in 36 days.-------------------------------C's rate is 1/36 job/day
------------------------------------------------------------------------

All of them began together but A left 7 days and B left 8 days before the completion of the work. How many days in all did C put in till the entire work was finished?
--------------
Equation:
Let x be the number of days required to do the job:
(x-7)(1/18)+(x-8)(1/27)+x(1/36) = 1 job

(2x-14+x)(1/36)+(x-8)(1/27) = 1 job

3(3x-14)+4(x-8)(1/108)=1 job

(9x-42+4x-32)/(108) = 1 job

(13x-74)= 108

13x = 182

x = 14

A man lends Rs.1200 for 3 years. Apart he lends on 4% and rest on 6% and receives Rs.192 as interest. The money he lent on 6% rate is

ARs.720

BRs.840

CRs.800

DRs.515

Nithin K ? Apr 1 '2018 at 23:51

Answer is :Rs.800

Explanation

If amount lend at 4% interest = x

and at 6% interest = 1200 -x

Given, \(\Big(\frac{x \times 3 \times 4}{100}\Big)+\Big(\frac{(1200-x)\times3\times6}{100}\Big)=192\)

\(=>\frac{12x}{100}+\frac{21600}{100}-\frac{18x}{100 }= 192\)

\(=>\frac{12x+21600-18x}{100} = 192\)

\(=> \frac{-6x+21600}{100}=192\)

\(=> 21600 -6x = 19200\)

\(=>6 x = 21600 -19200 \)

\(=> 6x = 2400\)

\(=> x = 400\)

\(\therefore \text{ the money lent on 6% rate is } = 1200 -x \)

= 1200 - 400

=800

A90 years

B18 years

C38 years

D21 years

Nithin K ? Apr 1 '2018 at 23:24

Answer is : 21 years

Explanation:

let amount be x.
Case 1 : amount becomes 2x => simple interest = x
Case 2 : amount becomes 4x => simple interest = 3x

\(SI= \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}\)
i.e., SI ∝ T (when Rate of interest is constant)
x  ∝ 7
3x ∝ n

\(\frac{x}{3x} = \frac{7}{n}\)

\(=> \frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{n}\)

\(=> n = 7 \times 3\)

n =  21 years
