C0.75

D66 $\frac{2}{3}$ %

rahul ? Jan 11 '2020 at 17:50

Correct answer is : \(33 \frac{1}{3} \%\)

Explanation:

Let us assume y =100, so according to question X is less than y by 25 % , so x =75,

\(\text{Hence y exceed x by =} \frac{25}{75} \times 100 = 33.33 % or 33 1/3 \text{ %}\)

C0.54

suraj ? Dec 17 '2019 at 21:37

Correct answer is: 0.64

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

Then, ideally he should have multiplied by  x by \(\frac{5}{3}\). Hence Correct result was \(x \times \frac{5}{3}= \frac{5x}{3}\). 

By mistake he multiplied x by \(\frac{3}{5}\) . Hence the result with error  = \(\frac{3x}{5} \)

Then, error = \(\big(\frac{5x}{3} - \frac{3x}{5}\big) = \frac{16x}{15} \)

\(\text{Error}   = \big(\frac{\text{error}}{\text{True vaue}}\big) \)

= \(\frac{\frac{16}{15} \times x}{ \frac{5}{3} \times x} \)

= 0.64

A7 days

B8 days

C7.5 days

D6.5 days

raveesh ? Dec 23 '2019 at 9:17

Correct Answer is : 7.5 days

Explanation:

In this type of question, where we have one person work and together work done. Then we can easily get the other person work just by subtracting them. As,

Son's one day work

 \(\begin{aligned} \left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{5} \right) \\ =\left(\frac{5-3}{15} \right) \\ = \frac{2}{15} \end{aligned}\)

So son will do whole work in \(\frac{15}{2}\)  days
which is =

\(\begin{aligned} 7\frac{1}{2}days \end{aligned}\)

D15 days

prakash ? Dec 18 '2019 at 9:8

Correct answer is: 12 days

Explanation:

The work completed by both in 2 days is

\(2\big(\frac{ 1}{15} + \frac{1}{10}\big) = \frac{1}{3}.\)

Work done by A alone is \(\frac{2}{3}\)

For full work A needs 15 days

For 2/3 work the days needed is \( (\frac{2}{3})\times15\) = 10 days.

The work was completed in 10 +2 = 12 days.

B128

C136

D133

prajwal ? Dec 20 '2019 at 15:41

Correct answer is: 132

Explanation:
Total coins = 378

Ratio of values -> 13 : 11 : 7

In Rs. 1, no. of rs. 1 coins = 1

In Rs. 1, no. of 50 P coins = 2

in Rs. 1, no. of 25 P coins = 4

Ratio of Rs. 1, 50 P, 25 P coins = \(\Large 13 \times 1 : 11 \times 2 : 7 \times 4\)

= 13 : 22 : 28

No. of 50 P coins = \(\Large \frac{22}{13 + 22 + 28} \times 378 = 132\)

prakash ? Dec 20 '2019 at 16:23

 

Correct answer is: 2 : 1

Explanation:

Quantity of copper in 17.5kg of alloy

\(=\Big(17.5 \times \frac{5}{7}\Big) \text{ kg}\)

 

= 12.5kg.

\(=\Big(17.5 \times \frac{2}{7}\Big) \text{ kg}\)

= 5kg

 

∴ Required ratio=12.5:(5+1.25)

= 12.5:6.25

= 2:1
