Answer : 1. "100%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 100% Explanation: Let the C.P be Rs.100 and S.P be Rs.x, Then The profit is (x-100)Now the S.P is doubled, then the new S.P is 2xNew profit is (2x-100)Now as per the given condition; => 3(x-100) = 2x-100By solving, we get x = 200Then the Profit percent = (200-100)/100 = 100Hence the profit percentage is 100%

Answer : 2. "Rs. 16.30"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Rs. 16.30 Explanation: C.P. of 50 kg wheat = (30 * 11.50 + 20 * 14.25) = Rs. 630. S.P. of 50 kg wheat = 130% of Rs. 630 = 130/100 * 630 = Rs. 819. S.P. per kg = 819/50 = Rs. 16.38 = 16.30.

Answer : 2. "4 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 4 kmph Explanation: Let the distance in one direction = k kms Speed in still water = 4.5 kmph Speed of river = 1.5 Hence, speed in upstream = 4.5 - 1.5 = 3 kmph Speed in downstream = 4.5 + 1.5 = 6 kmph Time taken by Rajesh to row upwards = k/3 hrs Time taken by Rajesh to row downwards = k/6 hrs Now, required Average speed =Total distanceTotal speed = 2kk3 + k6 = 2k x 186k + 3k = 4 kmph Therefore, the average speed of the whole journey = 4kmph.
Q: A contractor undertook to complete a piece of work in 120 Days and employed 140 men upon it. At the end of 66 days only half of the work was done,so he put on 25 extra men. By how much time did he exceed the specific time ? 2746 05b5cc709e4d2b4197774f2ad

Answer : 1. "2 days"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 2 days Explanation: work done=total number of person x number of days;half of work done = 140 x 66;For half of remaining work 25 extra men are added.Therefore, total men for half work remaining = 140 + 25 = 165;Let 2nd half work will be completed in K days;140 x 66 = 165 x KK = 122;Hence, extra days => 122-120 = 2days.

Answer : 3. "12th element"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 12th element Explanation: If we consider the third term to be ‘x”The 15th term will be (x + 12d)6th term will be (x + 3d)11th term will be (x + 8d) and 13th term will be (x + 10d).Thus, as per the given condition, 2x + 12d = 3x + 21d.Or x + 9d = 0.x + 9d will be the 12th term. Thus, 12th term of the A.P will be zero.

Answer : 4. "50 years"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 50 years Explanation: Let Rajan's present age be 'x' years.=> Then his daughter's present age is = x/3 years.His mother's present age = 13x/9 yearsNow, according to the question,x + x/3 + 13x/9 = 125=> x = 125x9/25 = 45Therefore, required difference = 13x/9 - x/3 = 13x - 3x/9 = 10x/9=> 10 x 45/9 = 50 years.
