Question 101.


A started a business with Rs. 52,000 and after 4 months B joined him with Rs.39,000. At the end of the year, out of the total profits B received total Rs. 20,000 including  25% of the profits as commission for managing the business. What amount did A receive?


  1.     Rs. 70,000
  2.     Rs. 60,000
  3.     Rs. 20,000
  4.     Rs. 40,000
  5.     Rs. 2,00,000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Rs. 20,000
:
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.


Question 102.


Deepak invested Rs. 50000 in a bond which was giving him 10% interest per annum at compound interest. Find the money received by Deepak after 3 years if he has to pay 20% tax on the compound interest every year.


  1.     Rs. 68987.3
  2.     Rs. 59852
  3.     Rs. 67892.5
  4.     Rs. 65452
  5.     Rs. 62985.6
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> Rs. 62985.6
:
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)  =102=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).


Question 103.


Pankaj takes a loan of Rs. 10000 at 10% per annum compounded annually which is to be repaid in two equal annual instalments: one at the end of the first year and second at the end of the second year. The value of each instalment is:


  1.     Rs. 5760
  2.     Rs. 5500
  3.     Rs. 5650
  4.     Rs. 5800
  5.     Rs. 2,00,000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 5760
:
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


Question 104.


On a certain sum, the difference between the compound interest and the simple interest for the second year is Rs.4500 and the same for the third year is Rs.14175. What is the sum?


  1.     200000
  2.     216000
  3.     196000
  4.     212000
  5.     156000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 200000
:
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=(1417545003)
r=67545. Now ,from equation  (i)
P=4500r2×1002P=4500675×675×1002×45×45P=2,00,000.


Question 105.


A certain amount of money has been invested to earn a simple interest of 10% per annum. The interest earned every year is again invested at the same rate. After how many years will the amount become the square of itself?


  1.     12
  2.     8
  3.     7
  4.     10
  5.     can't be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> can't be determined
:
E

Unless we know the amount we cannot derive the answer.


Hence option (e)


Question 106.


 A man can finish a work in 12 days while B can finish the same work in 15 days. If both work together, then calculate the time taken to complete the work.      


  1.     6(23) days
  2.     6 days
  3.     8 days
  4.     6(34) days
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 6(23) days
:
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).


Question 107.


Arun can finish a work in 12 days; Ajit can finish the same work in 15 days while Amit can finish the same work in 20 days. Find the total time taken when all three work together to complete the work.


  1.     6 days
  2.     5 days
  3.     4 days
  4.     3 days
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 5 days
:
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).


Question 108.


Ajit can do a certain work in 24 days. Bharath can do the same work in 30 days. When Chandra joins them and they do the work together, they complete the work in 12 days. Find out the time required by Chandra to complete the work alone


  1.     100 days
  2.     125 days
  3.     130 days
  4.     120 days
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 120 days
:
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  (100127.5)%=(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 (10090)=10% work in 12 days. Then he will take 120 days to complete full work.


Question 109.


As a worker, Ajit is thrice as good as Dev. If both working together can finish the work in 5 days, then determine the time taken by Ajit to complete the work alone.


  1.     103 days
  2.     5 days
  3.     203 days
  4.     7 days
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 203 days
:
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.
Question 110.


A and B can do a work in 12 days, B and C can do the same work in 15 days and A and C can complete the work in 20 days.Days required by A, B and C working together is (in days) ___


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 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.
