One dozen of eggs and ten pounds of apples are currently of the same price. If the price of egg increase by 10% and the price of apple increase up by 2% how much more will it cost to buy a dozen of eggs and ten pounds of apples?
Correct Answer:
C: 6%
Explanation:
One dozen of eggs and ten pounds of apples are currently of the same price. If the price of egg increase by 10% and the price of apple increase up by 2% how much more will it cost to buy a dozen of eggs and ten pounds of apples? Correct Answer 6% Let the price of one dozen of eggs and ten pounds of apples be P tk each. So, total cost of one dozen of eggs and ten pounds of applles = P + P = 2P tk New price of one dozen of eggs = P + 10% of P = P + 0.1P = 1.1P New price of ten pounds of apples = P + 2% of P = 1.02P Total new price of one dozen of eggs and ten pounds of apples = 1.1P + 1.02P = 2.12P Price increase = (2.12P - 2P)/2P×100% = 6%

If the product of 3 consecutive integers is 120, then the sum of the integers is --
Correct Answer:
D: 15
Explanation:
If the product of 3 consecutive integers is 120, then the sum of the integers is -- Correct Answer 15 Let the first integer be x - 1. Then the next two integers would be x and x + 1. So: (x - 1)× x × (x + 1) = 120 = > (x² - 1)x = 120 = > x³ - x = 120 ∴x = 5 , Check 5³ - 5 = 125 - 5 = 120. So, x = 5. The other two numbers are 4 and 6 which are equal to x - 1 and x + 1 respectively. Now the total of these numbers is 3x = 3×5 = 15.
Three pipes P, Q and R can fill a tank in 6 hours. After working all three together for 2 hours, R is closed and P and Q can fill the remaining part in 7 hours. The number of hours taken by R alone to fill the tank is-
Correct Answer:
C: 14
Explanation:
Three pipes P, Q and R can fill a tank in 6 hours. After working all three together for 2 hours, R is closed and P and Q can fill the remaining part in 7 hours. The number of hours taken by R alone to fill the tank is- Correct Answer 14 P, Q & R alltogether can fill 1/6 th of the tank in 1 hour So, in 2 hours they fill = 2×1/6 = 1/3 of the tank Remining part to be filled = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of the tank P & Q together in 7 hours can fill 2/3 of the tank So, P & Q together in hour can fill = 2/(3×7) = 2/21 of the tank So, R alone can fill in 1 hour = 1/6 - 2/21 = (7 - 4)/42 = 1/14 of the tank Therefore, R alone can fill the tank in 14 hours.
A man can row three- quarters of a kilometer against the stream in 11.25 minutes and down the stream in 7.5 minutes. The speed ( in km/hr) of the man in still water is-
Correct Answer:
B: 5 km/hr
Explanation:
A man can row three- quarters of a kilometer against the stream in 11.25 minutes and down the stream in 7.5 minutes. The speed ( in km/hr) of the man in still water is- Correct Answer 5 km/hr Let the speed of the man and flow of the stream U and V respectively. Distance = 3/4 km Time taken to go upstream = 11.25 min = 11.25/60 hr Conbined speed upstream = (3/4) / (11.25/60) = 4 km/hr or, U - V = 4 or, V = U - 4 Time taken to go downstream = 7.5 min = 7.5/60 hr Conbined speed downstream = (3/4) / (7.5/60) = 6 km/hr or, U + V = 6 or, U + U - 4 = 6 or, 2U = 6 + 4 or, U = 10/2 = 5 km/hr
Present age of Samad and Akmal are in the ratio of 5:4 respectively. Three years later, the ratio of their ages will become 11:9 respectively. What is Akmals present age?
Correct Answer:
A: 24
Explanation:
Present age of Samad and Akmal are in the ratio of 5:4 respectively. Three years later, the ratio of their ages will become 11:9 respectively. What is Akmals present age? Correct Answer 24 Let their present ages be 5x and 4x respectively. Three years later, (5x + 3) : (4x + 3) = 11 : 9 or, (5x + 3) / (4x + 3) = 11/9 or, 9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3) or, 45x + 27 = 44x + 33 or, 45x - 44x = 33 - 27 or, x = 6 So, present age of Akmal = 4x = 4×6 = 24 years

A wire that weight 24 kilogram is cut into two pieces so that one of these two pieces weigh 16 kilogram and is 34 meter long. If the weight of each piece is proportional to its length , how long is the other piece ?
Correct Answer:
C: 17 meters
