Q:

What was the day on 15th august 1947 ?

A) Friday B) Saturday

C) Sunday D) Thursday
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) Friday

Explanation:

15 Aug, 1947 = (1946 years + Period from 1.1.1947 to 15.8.1947)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 300 years = 1

46 years = (35 ordinary years + 11 leap years) = (35 x 1 + 11 x 2)= 57 (8 weeks + 1 day) = 1
odd day

Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May. Jun. Jul. Aug

( 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15 ) = 227 days = (32 weeks + 3 days) = 3 odd days.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 1 + 3) = 5 odd days.

Hence, as the number of odd days = 5 , given day is Friday.

Q:

A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and A's
share is Rs. 855, the total profit is :

A) 500 B) 1000

C) 1500 D) 2000
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 1500

Explanation:

Let the total profit be Rs. 100.

After paying to charity, A's share = (95*3/5) = Rs. 57.

If A's share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.

If A's share is Rs. 855, total profit = (100/57*855) = 1500.

Q:
In an election between two candidates, one got 55% of the total valid votes, 20% of the votes
were invalid. If the total number of votes was 7500, the number of valid votes that the other
candidate got, was :

A) 2500 B) 2700

C) 2900 D) 3100
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: B) 2700

Explanation:

Total number of votes = 7500

Given that 20% of Percentage votes were invalid

=> Valid votes = 80%

Total valid votes = 7500*(80/100)

1st candidate got 55% of the total valid votes.

Hence the 2nd candidate should have got 45% of the total valid votes

=> Valid votes that 2nd candidate got = total valid votes x (45/100)

7500*(80/100)*(45/100) = 2700

Q:

Two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number. The ratio of the two
numbers is:

A) 2:5 B) 3:5
 C) 4:5 D) 5:4
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 4:5

Explanation:

Let the third number be x.

Then, first number = 120% of x =120x/100 = 6x/5

Second number =150% of x = 150x/100 = 3x/2

Ratio of first two numbers = 6x/5 : 3x/2 = 12x : 15x = 4 : 5

Q:

A problem is given to three students whose chances of solving it are 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4
respectively. What is the probability that the problem will be solved?

A) 1/4 B) 1/2
 C) 3/4 D) 7/12
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: C) 3/4

Explanation:

Let A, B, C be the respective events of solving the problem and A , B, CA , B, C be the

respective events of not solving the problem. Then A, B, C are independent event

∴A, B, C∴A, B, C are independent events

Now, P(A) = 1/2 , P(B) = 1/3 and P(C)=1/4

P(A)=12, P(B)=23, P(C)= 34PA=12, PB=23, PC= 34

∴∴ P( none solves the problem) = P(not A) and (not B) and (not C)

= P(A∩B∩C)PA∩B∩C

= P(A)P(B)P(C)PAPBPC [∵ A, B, C are Independent]∵ A, B, C are Indep

endent

= 12×23×3412×23×34

= 1414

Hence, P(the problem will be solved) = 1 - P(none solves the problem)

= 1−141-14= 3/4

Q:

If selling price is doubled, the profit triples. Find the profit percent ?

A) 100% B) 200%

C) 300% D) 400%
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: 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 2x
New profit is (2x-100)
Now as per the given condition;
=> 3(x-100) = 2x-100
By solving, we get
x = 200
Then the Profit percent = (200-100)/100 = 100
Hence the profit percentage is 100%
