Two trains 105 m and 90 m long, run at the speeds of 45 km/h and 72 km/h respectively, in opposite directions on parallel tracks. The time which they take to cross each other is

A8 sec.

B6 sec.

C7 sec.

D5 sec.

Nithin K ? Apr 7 '2018 at 15:28

Answer is : B. 6 sec.

Explanation:

Length of the 1st train = 105 m;
Length of the 2nd train = 90 m.
Relative speed of the trains,
= 45+72 = 117kmph
$= 117\times\frac{5}{18} = 32.5 m/sec$
$\text{Time taken to cross each other},$
$=\frac{\text{ (Length of 1st train + length of 2nd train)}}{\text{relative speed of the trains}}.$
Time taken = $\frac{195}{32.5}$ = 6 secs.

CP=X

LOSS =5%

GAIN=5%

SP=CP(100-LOSS)/100

95×/100=19×/20

SP=CP (100 +PROFIT)/100= X(100+5)/100= 105X/100 = 21X/100 

21X/20-19X/20=80

ARs.1200

BRs.1000

CRs.960

DRs.900

Nithin K ? Apr 7 '2018 at 10:17

Answer is : A. Rs.1200

Explanation:

If there is Loss then ,

$\text{Cost Price} = \Big[ \frac{100}{(100 -Loss\%)}\Big] \times \text{Selling Price}$

CP of chair = $\frac{100}{(100-25)}\times720$

= $\frac{100}{75}\times 720$ 

= $Rs. 960$

To gain 25%,

$\text{Selling Price} = \Big[\frac{(100 +Gain \%) }{ 100}\Big] \times \text{Cost Price}$

$\text{Selling Price} = \Big[\frac{(100 + 25)}{100}\Big]\times 960$

$=\frac{125}{100}\times 960$

$= Rs. 1200$

Correct Answer:

C) Rs.150

Explanation:

Let CP = x

The, SP =$\Large\frac{110x}{100} = Rs.\frac{11x}{10}$

Now, CP = 96% of x =$\Large\frac{96x}{100} = Rs.\frac{24x}{25}$

Now according to the question,

SP = Rs.$\left( \frac{11x}{10} + 6 \right)$

$\left( \frac{11x}{10} + 6 \right) = \Large118\frac{3}{4}% of \frac{24x}{25}$

$\Large\frac{11x + 60}{10} = \frac{475}{400}\times\frac{24x}{25} = \frac{57x}{50}$

$\implies 550x + 3000 = 570x$
$20x = 3000$
$X = \Large\frac{3000}{20} = 150$

CP = 150

Krishnan bought a camera and paid 20% less than its original price. He sold it as 40% profit on the price he had paid. The percentage of profit earned by krishnan on the original price was

A22

B32

C12

D15

Nithin K ? Apr 3 '2018 at 20:1

Answer is : 12

Explanation :

Let the original price be x Rs.

$=\frac{80}{100} \times x = \frac{4x}{5} Rs$

$SP = \frac{4x}{5} \times \frac{140}{100} = \frac{28x}{25} Rs$

Gain on original price

$\frac{28x}{25} - x =\frac{3x}{25}$

$\therefore \text{Gain % =}\frac{3x}{\frac{25}{x} \times 100} \text{= 12%}$

=12%

Due to 20% reduction in the price of sugar, a man is able to purchase 6 kg more sugar in Rs.120. The original rate of sugar was

ARs.5 per kg

BRs.6.15 per kg

CRs.5.65 per kg

DRs.6.20 per kg

Nithin K ? Apr 2 '2018 at 22:21

Answer is : Rs.5 per kg

Explanation:

20% of 120/- is 24 /- 

Therefore we get 6kg sugar by 24/- 
Then
24=6kg
? =1kg
Then 1kg price is 4/- ( reduction price )
Original price:
100% = ?
80% = 4/- ( because in question he gives 20% reduction)
There fore $\frac{(100 \times 4)}{80}$ = 5/-
