A

22002200

B

20002000

C

15701570

D

600600

Correct answer keyA

Explanation

The formula for Simple Interest is SI=P×R×T100SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100}. Substituting the given values, we get 1540=X×14×51001540 = \frac{X \times 14 \times 5}{100}. Simplifying, 1540=70X1001540 = \frac{70X}{100}, which gives 1540=0.7X1540 = 0.7X. Solving for XX, X=15400.7=2200X = \frac{1540}{0.7} = 2200. The principal amount is Rs 22002200.

A

20%20\%

B

25%25\%

C

35%35\%

D

10%10\%

Correct answer keyA

Explanation

Let the value of YY be 100100. Then the value of XX is 100+25% of 100=125100 + 25\% \text{ of } 100 = 125. The difference between XX and YY is 125100=25125 - 100 = 25. To find out how much YY is less than XX in percentage, we calculate: DifferenceX×100=25125×100=15×100=20%\frac{\text{Difference}}{X} \times 100 = \frac{25}{125} \times 100 = \frac{1}{5} \times 100 = 20\%.

A 500500m long train running at a speed of 100 m/s100~m/s crosses in 1010sec. What is the length of the tunnel?

A

200200m

B

500500m

C

800800m

D

10001000m

Correct answer keyB

Explanation

The total distance covered by the train when it crosses a tunnel is the sum of the length of the train and the length of the tunnel. Total distance = Speed ×\times Time = 100 m/s×10 s=1000 m100 \text{ m/s} \times 10 \text{ s} = 1000 \text{ m}. Since the length of the train is 500 m500 \text{ m}, the length of the tunnel is 1000 m500 m=500 m1000 \text{ m} - 500 \text{ m} = 500 \text{ m}.

C

33

D

47\frac{4}{7}

Correct answer keyB

Explanation

Using the BODMAS rule, first solve the brackets: (22+6)=28(22+6) = 28. The expression becomes 2+4÷28×22 + 4 \div 28 \times 2. Next, perform division: 4÷28=428=174 \div 28 = \frac{4}{28} = \frac{1}{7}. Then, perform multiplication: 17×2=27\frac{1}{7} \times 2 = \frac{2}{7}. Finally, perform addition: 2+27=147+27=1672 + \frac{2}{7} = \frac{14}{7} + \frac{2}{7} = \frac{16}{7}.

D

Correct answer keyA

Explanation

According to the BODMAS rule, perform division first: 10÷10=110 \div 10 = 1. The expression becomes 10+10×110 + 10 \times 1. Next, perform multiplication: 10×1=1010 \times 1 = 10. The expression becomes 10+1010 + 10. Finally, perform addition: 10+10=2010 + 10 = 20.

Question 48

#298

Mr Virat Kohli has a certain average for nine (9) innings, In the tenth innings; he scored 100 runs thereby increasing his average by 8 runs. His new average is:-

A

2020

B

2121

C

2828

D

3232

Correct answer keyC

Explanation

Let the old average after 99 innings be xx. Total runs after 99 innings =9x= 9x. In the 1010th innings, he scores 100100 runs, so the new total runs =9x+100= 9x + 100. The new average becomes x+8x + 8. Therefore, we can write the equation: 9x+10010=x+8\frac{9x + 100}{10} = x + 8. Solving this, we get 9x+100=10x+809x + 100 = 10x + 80, which gives x=20x = 20. His new average is x+8=20+8=28x + 8 = 20 + 8 = 28.

B

3131 m 2121 cm

C

3131 m 1111 cm

D

3232 m 1111 cm

Correct answer keyD

Explanation

Cloth required for 11 shirt = 2 m 47 cm2 \text{ m } 47 \text{ cm}. Total cloth required for 1313 shirts =13×(2 m 47 cm)= 13 \times (2 \text{ m } 47 \text{ cm}). First, multiply meters: 13×2 m=26 m13 \times 2 \text{ m} = 26 \text{ m}. Then multiply centimeters: 13×47 cm=611 cm13 \times 47 \text{ cm} = 611 \text{ cm}. Since 100 cm=1 m100 \text{ cm} = 1 \text{ m}, 611 cm=6 m 11 cm611 \text{ cm} = 6 \text{ m } 11 \text{ cm}. Adding them together gives 26 m+6 m 11 cm=32 m 11 cm26 \text{ m} + 6 \text{ m } 11 \text{ cm} = 32 \text{ m } 11 \text{ cm}.

A

2020 days

B

1212 days

C

88 days

D

1515 days

Correct answer keyC

Explanation

Work done by A in 11 day =110= \frac{1}{10}. Work done by B in 11 day =140= \frac{1}{40}. Work done by A and B together in 11 day =110+140=440+140=540=18= \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{40} = \frac{4}{40} + \frac{1}{40} = \frac{5}{40} = \frac{1}{8}. Since they complete 18\frac{1}{8} of the work in one day, they will take 88 days to complete the entire work together.
