Q: There are 100 students in 3 sections A, B and C of a class. The average marks of all the three sections was 84. The average of B and C was 87.5 and the average marks of students in A section was : 4431 0

Answer : 1. "20"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 20 Explanation: Numbers of students in section A = x ∴ Numbers of students in section B and C = (100 – x) ∴ x 70 + (100 – x) 87.5 = 84 100 => 70x + 87.5 100 – 87.5x = 8400 => 8750 – 17.5x = 8400 => 17.5x = 8750 – 8400 => x = 20.

Q: By selling an article at Rs.800, a shopkeeper makes a profit of 25%.At what price should he sell the article so as to make a loss of 25%? 4431 0

Answer : 4. "Rs.480"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Rs.480 Explanation: SP = Rs.800 ; Profit = 25% CP = SP x 100100+P% = 800 x 100100+25 = 640 Now, CP = Rs.640 Loss = 25% = 25% of Rs.640 = Rs.160 Thus, SP = CP - Loss = Rs.640 - Rs.160 = Rs.480

Q: The gas provider Centrica has seen its half-year profits fall by 20% to £992 million. Despite this it has decided to increase its dividend to shareholders to 3.9p per share. The rise in energy prices released before the announcement of Centrica's profits was designed, said the company, to restore "reasonable profitability". The chief executive, Sam Laidlaw, said, "We produced a good set of results in tough market conditions... we will continue to concentrate on improving customer service in British Gas..." This is an interesting statement given the record rise in prices to households. The announcement of profits which are not far off one billion pounds, a day after the announcement of the rise in price and the increase in dividend to shareholders, is likely to provoke angry reaction. Many will question the extent of the market power that Centrica possesses. There will also be those that will question what the phrase 'reasonable profitability' means in the context of profits of nearly one billion pounds. Question: 1) Announcing large profits, soon after announcing price rises, is likely to provoke angry reaction. Question: 2) Companies increase shareholder dividends when profits fall. Question: 3) One way companies can restore profitability is to increase prices. 4418 0

Q: Find the missing number in the given number series? 2676, 445, ?, 21,6, 2, 1 4418 0

Answer : 1. "88"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 88 Explanation: The given number series 2676, 445, ?, 21,6, 2, 1 follows a pattern that, From right side, 1 1 x 1 + 1 = 2 2 x 2 + 2 = 6 6 x 3 + 3 = 21 21 x 4 + 4 = 88 88 x 5 + 5 = 445 445 x 6 + 6 = 2676 Hence the missing number in the given number series is 88.

Q: There are three rooms in a Hotel: one single, one double and one for four persons. How many ways are there to house seven persons in these rooms ? 4417 0

Answer : 1. "105"

Q: P is faster than Q. P and Q each walk 24 km. The sum of their speeds is 7 km/hr and the sum of times taken by them is 14 hours. Then, P's speed is equal to ? 4388 0

Answer : 2. "4 km/hr"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 4 km/hr Explanation: Let P's speed = x km/hr. Then, Q's speed = (7 - x) km/ hr. So, 24/x + 24/(7 - x) = 14 x2 - 98x + 168 = 0 (x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 => x = 3 or 4. Since, P is faster than Q, so P's speed = 4 km/hr and Q's speed = 3 km/hr.
