BASIC ARITHMETIC MCQs
:
C
Profit's share of A and B =(52,000×12)(39,000×8)=2:1
Let the profit be Rs. x, then B receives 25% as commission for managing business, the remaining 75% of the total profit x is shared between A and B in the ratio 2:1. Hence B will get 13rd part of this in addition to his commission. Hence his total earning
=0.25x+13×0.75x
=0.5x=20,000
x=40,000
So,the remaining profit goes to A,hence the profit of A is Rs.20,000.

E
Deepak was getting 10% interest, 20% of the interest i.e. 20% of 10% (=2%) was the tax which he had to pay, so the net interest rate (after tax) =10−2=8%
So, amount received by him after 3 years =50000(1+(8100))3=Rs.62985.6
Hence option (5)
2nd method:- By, pascal triangles for n=3 & r=8%. Option (5).
:
A
Let the value of each installment is X, Total amount is P
P=X(K+K2+K3+...................),Where K=100100+r Here only two years and r is 10% then
P=X(K+K2)
10000=x{1011+(1011)2}
X = 5761.9
Alternatively
10,000(1.1)2=x[1+(1.1)]
x = 5761.9
:
A
The difference in the SI and CI for the second year =Pr21002=4500....................(i)
The difference in the SI and CI for the third year =Pr21002(3+r100)=14175...........(ii)
From the equation (i) and (ii).
4500×(3+r100)=14175
r100=(141754500−3)
r=67545. Now ,from equation (i)
P=4500r2×1002⇒P=4500675×675×1002×45×45⇒P=2,00,000.
:
E
Unless we know the amount we cannot derive the answer.
Hence option (e)
:
A
A can finish the work in 12 days.
He can finish 100% of the work in 12 days.
In 1 day he can finish (10012)%=8.33% of the work.
Similarly B can finish (10015)%=6.67% of the work in 1 day.
When they both work together, they can finish (8.33+6.67)%=15% of the work in 1 day
So, to complete 100% of the work, they will take (10015)e=6(23) days. Hence option (a).
2nd method:- Total work (W) = 12A = 15B , B=45A
n(A+B) = W = 12A or 15B (Here, we take 12A).
n(A+B)=12A , n(A+45A) , n=203=6(23)days. Option (a).
:
B
Arun can finish 100% of work in 12 days he can finish (10012)=8.33% of the work in a day.
Ajit can finish 100% of work in 15 days he can finish (10015)=6.67% of the work in a day.
Amit can finish 100% of the work in 20 days he can finish (10020)=5% of the work in a day.
So, if all three work together, then they can finish (8.33+6.67+5)%=20% of the work in a day.
So, they can complete the work in (10020) = 5 days. Hence option (B).
2nd method:- W= 12A=15B=20C .
n(A+B+C)=12A , n(A+34A+35A)=12A , n=5 days.
Option (2).
:
D
In one day Ajit can do (10024)% of the work.
In one day Bharath can do (10030)% of the work.
Working together they can do (10024)%+(10030)%=7.5% of the work in one day.
Now when Chandra joins them, they complete the work in 12 days Ajit, Bharath and Chandra together complete (10012)% of the work in a day.
Now, Ajit and Bharath do 7.5% of the work in a day.
Ajit, Bharath and Chandra do (10012)% of the work in a day.
Chandra can do (10012−7.5)%=(1012)% of the work in a day.
So, to complete 100% of the work, Chandra will take [100(1012)]= 120 days. Hence option (e).
2nd method:- In 12 days ajit completes 1224 i.e 50% and Bharat completes 1230 i.e 40% , then chandra completes (100−90)=10% work in 12 days. Then he will take 120 days to complete full work.
:
C
Suppose Ajit can finish the work in ‘x’ days. In one day he can do (100x)% of the work.
As Ajit is thrice as good as Dev, Dev will do 13rd of what Ajit can do in a day.
So, Dev can do (1003x)% of work in a day.
Now they complete the work in 5 days, so in 1 day they must be doing 1005=20% of the work.
So, (100x)+(1003x)=20
x=(203)
So, Ajit can complete the work alone in (203) days. Hence option (d).
2nd method:- Efficiency A=3D , 5(A+D)=nA (i.e.,)5×43A=nA , n=203 days.
:
Let a, b and c be the % of the work done by A, B and C in one day respectively.
A & B can complete the work in 12 days a+b=10012%=8.33%...(i)
B & C can complete the work in 15 days b+c=10015%=6.67%....(ii)
A & C can complete the work in 20 days a+c=10020%=5%....(iii)
Adding (i), (ii) and (iii)
2(a+b+c)=20%⇒(a+b+c)=10%
So, working together they finish 10% of work in a day. So, they can complete the work in 10 days.
