Answer : 2. "decrease 12%"
Explanation :
Answer: B) decrease 12% Explanation: Given the price of a commodity is decreased by p = 20% And its consumption is increased by q = 10% Now, required increase or decrease in the expenditure on the commodity can be p + q + pq/100 = -20 + 10 - 200/100 = -10 - 2 = -12%. Hence, decrease in the expenditure = 12%

Answer : 4. "203"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 203 Explanation: The given number series is 125, 138, 164, ?, 255 125 125 + 13x1 = 138 138 + 13x2 = 164 164 + 13x3 = 203 203 + 13x4 = 255 Hence, the missing number in the series is 203.
Q: Tilak rides on a cycle to a place at speed of 22 kmph and comes back at a speed of 20 kmph. If the time taken by him in the second case is 36 min. more than that of the first case, what is the total distance travelled by him (in km)? 2349 05b5cc6a0e4d2b4197774ca6c

Answer : 2. "264 km"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 264 km Explanation: Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms Now, from the given data, d/20 = d/22 + 36 min => d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs => d = 132 km. Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.
Q: A boat takes 2 hours to travel from point A to B in still water. To find out its speed upstream, which of the following information is/are required? A. Distance between point A and B. B. Time taken to travel downstream from B to A. C. Speed of the stream of water. 2285 05b5cc69fe4d2b4197774c9f1

Answer : 4. "Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient Explanation: Let distance between A & B = d kmLet speed in still water = x kmphLet speed of current = y kmph from the given data,d/x = 2 From A) we get dFrom B) we get d/x+yFrom C) we get y So, Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient to give the answer i.e, the speed of upstream.
Q: P, Q and R secured 45%, 50% and 60% marks respectively in Biology. M’s marks in Biology is 12.5 more than P’s marks and 4 less than R’s marks. Find out the individual marks of four students. A. For the students, total marks obtained for Biology is 311.5.B. Total of M’s and P’s marks in Biology is 147.5.C. R has obtained 84 marks. 2109 05b5cc69fe4d2b4197774c9ec

Answer : 4. "None of the statements is required"
Explanation :
Answer: D) None of the statements is required Explanation: From the given data, (60 - 45)% = 12.5 + 415% = 16.5=> 100% = ?100% = 16.5 x 100/15 = 110 Hence, P = 45% of 110 = 45x110/100 = 49.5 Q = 50% of 110 = 55R = 60% of 110 = 60 x 110/100 = 66M = 12.5 + 49.5 = 62 or 66 - 4 = 62 Hence, no statement is required to answer.

Answer : 1. "0"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 0 Explanation: The probability of an impossible event is 0. The event is known ahead of time to be not possible, therefore by definition in mathematics, the probability is defined to be 0 which means it can never happen. The probability of a certain event is 1.
Q: The ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R is 2 : 3 : 4. While P and R work on alternate days and Q work for all days. Now the work completed in total 10 days and the total amount they get is Rs. 1200. Find the amount of each person(respectively). 2068 05b5cc69de4d2b4197774c914

Answer : 1. "200, 600, 400"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 200, 600, 400 Explanation: Ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R = 2 : 3 : 4 From the given data, Number of working days of P, Q, R = 5 : 10 : 5 Hence, ratio of amount of p, Q, R = 2x5 : 3x10 : 4x5 = 10 : 30 : 20 Amounts of P, Q, R = 200, 600 and 400.

Answer : 4. "3600"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 3600 Explanation: Given word is THERAPY. Number of letters in the given word = 7 These 7 letters can be arranged in 7! ways. Number of vowels in the given word = 2 (E, A) The number of ways of arrangement in which vowels come together is 6! x 2! ways Hence, the required number of ways can the letters of the word 'THERAPY' be arranged so that the vowels never come together = 7! - (6! x 2!) ways = 5040 - 1440 = 3600 ways.
