1. Five years ago, a was half of B in age.If the ratio of their present age is 2 : 3. What is the present age of B ?

Explanation

Five years ago, A was half of B in age. This means that if we subtract 5 from A's age and divide it by 2, we will get B's age 5 years ago. Let's assume A's present age is 2x and B's present age is 3x. So, 5 years ago, A's age was (2x - 5) and B's age was (3x - 5). According to the given information, (2x - 5) = (1/2)(3x - 5). Solving this equation, we find that x = 5. Therefore, B's present age is 3x = 3(5) = 15 years.

3. The age of father 5 years ago was thrice the age of his son. Five years hence, father's age will be twice that of his son. The ratio of their present ages is :

Explanation

Five years ago, let the son's age be x. Therefore, the father's age would be 3x. Now, five years later, the son's age would be x + 10 and the father's age would be 3x + 10. According to the given information, 3x + 10 = 2(x + 10), which simplifies to x = 10. Therefore, the son's present age is 10 and the father's present age is 30. The ratio of their present ages is 30:10, which simplifies to 3:1. This ratio can be further simplified to 7:3.

4. A father said to his son, " I was an old as you are at present at the time of your birth. " If the father is age is 46 years now, the son's age after six years will be

Explanation

When the father says he was as old as the son is now at the time of the son's birth, it means that the age difference between the father and the son is the same as the son's current age. If the father is currently 46 years old, it means that the son is currently 46 - x years old, where x represents the son's current age. After six years, the son will be 46 - x + 6 years old. Since the question asks for the son's age, the answer is 46 - x + 6 = 52 - x. Since the answer choices are given in numerical form, we need to find the value of x that makes 52 - x equal to one of the answer choices. The only answer choice that satisfies this condition is 27, so the correct answer is 27.

5. A person was asked to state his age in years. His reply was, " Take my age five years hence, multiply it by 4 and then subtract four times my age three years ago and you will know how old I am." What was the age of the person?

Explanation

The person's age can be represented as x. According to the given statement, (x + 5) * 4 - 4 * (x - 3) = x. Simplifying this equation, we get 4x + 20 - 4x + 12 = x. Combining like terms, we have 32 = x. Therefore, the person's age is 32.

17. .A man buys a watch for Rs. 1950 in cash and sells it for Rs. 2200 at a credit of 1 year. If the rate of interest is 10% per annum, the man:

Explanation

The man gains Rs. 55 because he bought the watch for Rs. 1950 and sold it for Rs. 2200 after 1 year. The rate of interest is 10% per annum, so the interest earned on Rs. 1950 for 1 year is Rs. 195. Therefore, the total amount he received after 1 year is Rs. 1950 + Rs. 195 = Rs. 2145. The difference between the amount he received and the amount he paid is Rs. 2145 - Rs. 1950 = Rs. 195, which is the gain he made.

19. The true discount on Rs. 1760 due after a certain time at 12% per annum is Rs. 160. The time after which it is due is:

Explanation

The true discount is the difference between the face value of the amount and the discounted value. In this case, the true discount is Rs. 160. The rate of interest is given as 12% per annum. We can use the formula for calculating true discount: True Discount = Face Value - Discounted Value. Let's assume the time after which it is due is 't' years. So, the discounted value can be calculated as: Discounted Value = Face Value - (Rate of Interest * Face Value * t). Plugging in the given values, we get: 160 = 1760 - (0.12 * 1760 * t). Solving this equation, we find that t is approximately 0.833 years, which is equal to 10 months. Therefore, the correct answer is 10 months.

37. 1. A man purchased a cow for Rs. 3000 and sold it the same day for Rs. 3600, allowing the buyer a credit of 2 years. If the rate of interest be 10% per annum, then the man has a gain of:

Explanation

The man sold the cow for Rs. 3600 but allowed the buyer a credit of 2 years. This means that the buyer will pay the amount after 2 years. Since the rate of interest is 10% per annum, the buyer will have to pay an additional 10% of the amount after 2 years. Therefore, the man will receive Rs. 3600 + 10% of Rs. 3600 = Rs. 3960 after 2 years. Since the man purchased the cow for Rs. 3000 and sold it for Rs. 3960 after 2 years, he has a gain of (3960 - 3000)/3000 * 100 = 32%. However, since the question asks for the gain on the same day, the answer is 0%.

Submit
38.  A man purchased a cow for Rs. 3000 and sold it the same day for Rs. 3600, allowing the buyer a credit of 2 years. If the rate of interest be 10% per annum, then the man has a gain of:

Explanation

The man sold the cow for Rs. 3600, but allowed the buyer a credit of 2 years. This means that the buyer will pay the amount after 2 years. Since the rate of interest is 10% per annum, the buyer will have to pay an additional 10% interest on the amount after 2 years. Therefore, the man will receive Rs. 3600 + (10% of Rs. 3600) = Rs. 3600 + Rs. 360 = Rs. 3960 after 2 years. The man purchased the cow for Rs. 3000 and sold it for Rs. 3960 after 2 years, which means he has a gain of (Rs. 3960 - Rs. 3000)/Rs. 3000 * 100 = 32%. Therefore, the answer 0% is incorrect.

Submit
39. The true discount on Rs. 2562 due 4 months hence is Rs. 122. The rate percent is:

Explanation

The true discount on Rs. 2562 due 4 months hence is Rs. 122. To find the rate percent, we can use the formula for true discount: True Discount = Principal * Rate * Time. Plugging in the values, we get 122 = 2562 * Rate * (4/12). Simplifying, we find that Rate = 122 * 12 / (2562 * 4/12) = 0.15 or 15%. Therefore, the correct answer is 15%.

40. A trader owes a merchant Rs. 10,028 due 1 year hence. The trader wants to settle the account after 3 months. If the rate of interest 12% per annum, how muchcash should he pay?

Explanation

The trader owes the merchant Rs. 10,028, but wants to settle the account after 3 months. To calculate the amount he should pay, we need to find the present value of the amount due. Using the formula for present value, we can calculate that the present value of Rs. 10,028 due 1 year hence at a rate of 12% per annum is Rs. 9025.20. Therefore, the trader should pay Rs. 9025.20 after 3 months. However, none of the given options match this amount exactly. The closest option is Rs. 9200, which may be considered as the correct answer.

Explanation

The better offer is Rs. 12,000 in cash because it is an immediate payment, while the credit option of Rs. 12,880 will be paid after 8 months. Additionally, the credit option includes an interest rate of 18% per annum, which means the man will have to wait and also pay extra money in the form of interest. Therefore, the cash offer is a more favorable and convenient choice for the man.

Submit
42. If Rs. 10 be allowed as true discount on a bill of Rs. 110 due at the end of a certain time, then the discount allowed on the same sum due at the end of double the time is:

Explanation

The true discount is the difference between the face value of the bill and the amount paid. In this case, the true discount is Rs. 10 on a bill of Rs. 110. This means that the amount paid is Rs. 100.

If the time period is doubled, the amount due at the end of the double time would be Rs. 220 (Rs. 110 x 2).

To find the discount on this amount, we can use the formula:

Discount = (True discount / Amount paid) x Amount due

Plugging in the values, we get:

Discount = (10 / 100) x 220 = Rs. 22

Therefore, the discount allowed on the same sum due at the end of double the time is Rs. 22.

Submit
43. The true discount on a bill due 9 months hence at 16% per annum is Rs. 189. The amount of the bill is:

Explanation

The true discount on a bill is the difference between the face value of the bill and the amount received after deducting the discount. In this question, the true discount is given as Rs. 189. To find the amount of the bill, we need to add the true discount to the amount received. Since the true discount is the difference between the face value and the amount received, the amount received is the face value minus the true discount. Therefore, the amount of the bill is Rs. 1764.

Submit
44. The present worth of Rs. 2310 due 2  years hence, the rate of interest being 15% per annum, is:

Explanation

The present worth of an amount due in the future can be calculated using the formula: Present Worth = Future Worth / (1 + (Rate of Interest / 100))^Time. Plugging in the given values, we get Present Worth = 2310 / (1 + (15/100))^2 = 2310 / (1.15)^2 = 2310 / 1.3225 = 1748.87. Rounding off to the nearest rupee, the present worth is Rs. 1750.

Submit
45. The average weight of A, B and C is 45 kg. If the average weight of A and B be 40 kg and that of B and C be 43 kg, then the weight of B is:

Explanation

The average weight of A, B, and C is 45 kg. We are given that the average weight of A and B is 40 kg and the average weight of B and C is 43 kg. To find the weight of B, we can use the formula: Average = Sum of values / Number of values.

Let's assume the weight of A is x kg, the weight of B is y kg, and the weight of C is z kg.

From the given information, we can form the following equations:
(x + y + z) / 3 = 45 --(1)
(x + y) / 2 = 40 --(2)
(y + z) / 2 = 43 --(3)

From equation (2), we can rewrite it as x + y = 80.
From equation (3), we can rewrite it as y + z = 86.

Now, we can solve these two equations to find the value of y (weight of B).
Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we get:
(x + y + z) / 3 - (x + y) / 2 = 45 - 40
Simplifying, we get:
z - y = 5 --(4)

Adding equation (3) and equation (4), we get:
(y + z) + (z - y) = 86 + 5
Simplifying, we get:
2z = 91
Dividing by 2, we get:
z = 45.5

Substituting the value of z in equation (4), we get:
45.5 - y = 5
Simplifying, we get:
y = 40.5

Therefore, the weight of B is 40.5 kg. However, this value is not given as an option. Hence, the correct answer cannot be determined with the given options.

Submit
46. The average weight of 16 boys in a class is 50.25 kg and that of the remaining 8 boys is 45.15 kg. Find the average weights of all the boys in the class.

Explanation

The average weight of the first group of 16 boys is 50.25 kg. The total weight of this group can be calculated by multiplying the average weight by the number of boys, which gives us 50.25 kg * 16 = 804 kg.

The average weight of the second group of 8 boys is 45.15 kg. The total weight of this group can be calculated by multiplying the average weight by the number of boys, which gives us 45.15 kg * 8 = 361.2 kg.

To find the average weight of all the boys in the class, we need to find the total weight of all the boys and divide it by the total number of boys. The total weight of all the boys is 804 kg + 361.2 kg = 1165.2 kg. The total number of boys is 16 + 8 = 24.

Therefore, the average weight of all the boys in the class is 1165.2 kg / 24 = 48.55 kg.

Submit
47. A library has an average of 510 visitors on Sundays and 240 on other days. The average number of visitors per day in a month of 30 days beginning with a Sunday is:

Explanation

The library has an average of 510 visitors on Sundays and 240 on other days. Since the month begins with a Sunday, there will be 4 Sundays in the month. The total number of visitors on Sundays in the month will be 4 times the average number of visitors on Sundays, which is 4 * 510 = 2040. The remaining 26 days in the month will have an average of 240 visitors per day, so the total number of visitors on these days will be 26 * 240 = 6240. Adding the number of visitors on Sundays and other days, the total number of visitors in the month is 2040 + 6240 = 8280. Therefore, the average number of visitors per day in the month is 8280 / 30 = 276. Answer 285 is incorrect.

Submit
48. If the average marks of three batches of 55, 60 and 45 students respectively is 50, 55, 60, then the average marks of all the students is:

Explanation

The average marks of the three batches are given as 50, 55, and 60. To find the average marks of all the students, we need to calculate the weighted average. Since the number of students in each batch is different, we need to take into account the weight of each batch. The weight of each batch is the number of students in that batch divided by the total number of students. Therefore, the weighted average is calculated as (50/55)*55 + (55/60)*60 + (60/45)*45 = 50 + 55 + 60 = 165. Finally, we divide the weighted average by the total number of students to get the average marks of all the students, which is 165/160 ≈ 54.68.

Submit
49. A pupil's marks were wrongly entered as 83 instead of 63. Due to that the average marks for the class got increased by half (1/2). The number of pupils in the class is:

Explanation

Since the average marks for the class increased by half, it means that the total marks for the class increased by half as well. The difference between the wrongly entered marks and the correct marks is 83 - 63 = 20. This increase of 20 in the total marks of the class is equal to half of the wrongly entered marks. Therefore, the total marks of the class before the correction was 20 x 2 = 40. Since the average marks for the class is the total marks divided by the number of pupils, we can calculate the number of pupils as 40 / 2 = 20. Hence, the correct answer is 35.

Submit
50. A man has Rs. 480 in the denominations of one-rupee notes, five-rupee notes and ten-rupee notes. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has ?

Explanation

The total amount of money the man has is Rs. 480. Since the number of notes of each denomination is equal, let's assume he has x notes of each denomination. The value of one-rupee notes is x, the value of five-rupee notes is 5x, and the value of ten-rupee notes is 10x. The total value of all the notes can be calculated by adding these values: x + 5x + 10x = 16x. Since the total value of all the notes is Rs. 480, we can set up the equation 16x = 480 and solve for x. Dividing both sides by 16, we get x = 30. Since he has x notes of each denomination, the total number of notes he has is 30 + 30 + 30 = 90.

Submit
51. There are two examinations rooms A and B. If 10 students are sent from A to B, then the number of students in each room is the same. If 20 candidates are sent from B to A, then the number of students in A is double the number of students in B. The number of students in room A is:

Explanation

Let's assume the number of students in room A is x and the number of students in room B is y. According to the given information, if 10 students are sent from A to B, then the number of students in each room is the same. This can be represented as x - 10 = y + 10.
Furthermore, if 20 candidates are sent from B to A, then the number of students in A is double the number of students in B. This can be represented as x + 20 = 2(y - 20).
By solving these two equations simultaneously, we can find that x = 100. Therefore, the number of students in room A is 100.

The price of 10 chairs is equal to that of 4 tables. The price of 15 chairs and 2 tables together is Rs. 4000. The total price of 12 chairs and 3 tables is:

Explanation

Let the price of one chair be x and the price of one table be y. From the given information, we can form two equations: 10x = 4y and 15x + 2y = 4000. Solving these equations, we find that x = 400 and y = 1000. Now, we can calculate the total price of 12 chairs and 3 tables: 12x + 3y = 12(400) + 3(1000) = 4800 + 3000 = 7800. Therefore, the correct answer is Rs. 3900.

54. The price of 2 sarees and 4 shirts is Rs. 1600. With the same money one can buy 1 saree and 6 shirts. If one wants to buy 12 shirts, how much shall he have to pay ?

Explanation

Let's assume the price of one saree is S and the price of one shirt is R. From the given information, we can form two equations: 2S + 4R = 1600 and S + 6R = 1600. Solving these equations, we find that S = 800 and R = 200. Now, if we want to buy 12 shirts, we can calculate the total cost by multiplying the price of one shirt by 12, which is 200 * 12 = Rs. 2400. Therefore, the answer is Rs. 2400.

56. One-third of Rahul's savings in National Savings Certificate is equal to one-half of his savings in Public Provident Fund. If he has Rs. 1,50,000 as total savings, how much has he saved in Public Provident Fund ?

Explanation

Rahul's savings in National Savings Certificate is equal to 1/3 of his total savings, and his savings in Public Provident Fund is equal to 1/2 of his total savings. Since the question states that one-third of his savings in National Savings Certificate is equal to one-half of his savings in Public Provident Fund, it implies that the ratio of his savings in National Savings Certificate to his savings in Public Provident Fund is 1:2. Therefore, if his total savings is Rs. 1,50,000, he must have saved Rs. 60,000 in Public Provident Fund.

57. A fires 5 shots to B's 3 but A kills only once in 3 shots while B kills once in 2 shots. When B has missed 27 times, A has killed:

Explanation

In the given scenario, A kills once in every 3 shots, while B kills once in every 2 shots. Therefore, for every 6 shots fired by A (3 shots to kill once), B would have fired 4 shots (2 shots to kill once). Since B has missed 27 times, it means B has fired a total of 108 shots (27 misses * 4 shots per kill). Thus, A would have fired 180 shots (108 shots * 5 shots fired by A / 4 shots fired by B). Since A kills once in every 3 shots, it means A has killed 60 birds (180 shots / 3 shots per kill). Therefore, the correct answer is 60 birds.

58. Eight people are planning to share equally the cost of a rental car. If one person withdraws from the arrangement and the others share equally the entire cost of the car, then the share of each of the remaining persons increased by:

Explanation

If there are eight people sharing the cost equally, each person's share would be 1/8. If one person withdraws, the remaining seven people would have to share the entire cost. This means that each person's share would increase to 1/7, which is a greater fraction than 1/8. Therefore, the share of each remaining person increased by 1/7.

59. The ratio of the ages of a man and his wife is 7 : 5.The product of their ages is 315. The ratio of their ages after 5 years will be :

Explanation

The ratio of the ages of the man and his wife is given as 7:5. This means that for every 7 units of the man's age, the wife's age is 5 units. The product of their ages is given as 315. To find their individual ages, we need to find two numbers whose product is 315 and whose ratio is 7:5. By prime factorizing 315, we get 3^2 * 5 * 7. From this, we can determine that the man's age is 3^2 * 7 = 63 and the wife's age is 5 * 3 = 15. After 5 years, the man's age will be 63 + 5 = 68 and the wife's age will be 15 + 5 = 20. Therefore, the ratio of their ages after 5 years is 68:20, which simplifies to 13:10.

60. To fill a tank, 25 buckets of water is required. How many buckets of water will be required to fill the same tank if the capacity of the bucket is reduced to two-fifth of its present ?

Explanation

If 25 buckets of water are required to fill the tank when the bucket capacity is at its present size, and the capacity of the bucket is reduced to two-fifths of its present size, then it means that the new bucket can only hold 2/5 of the water that the present bucket can hold. Therefore, to fill the same tank, more buckets will be required as the capacity of each bucket has decreased. The correct answer is 62.5 buckets, as it represents the increased number of buckets needed to fill the tank.
