Arithmetic Set -3

1. P and Q starting a business, with investing the total capital of

Rs. 100000, on the condition that Q pays P interest at 10%
per annum on 50% of the capital. P is a working partner and
receives Rs. 3000 per month from the total profit while
remaining profit is equally divided in P and Q. At the end of
the year, it was found that income of P is 100% more than
that of Q. Find the total profit at the end of the year.
A.Rs. 138000
B.Rs 69000
C.Rs. 92000
D.Rs. 115000
E.None of these

2. P and Q both started at the same time, travelling from Point

A to point C via point B. Speed of P is thrice of Q while
traveling from A to B and then from B to C their speeds are
interchanged. Find the ratio of time taken by P and Q to
travel from A to C, if the distance between B and C is 40%
more than that of A to B.
A.11:13
B.9:11
C.13:11
D.11:7
E. None of these
3. There are three pipes P, Q, and R. Pipe P can fill the tank T1
(cylindrical in shape) in 33 hours, while time taken by R to
empty the tank is twice as that of P, which is 75% of time
taken by Q to fill the tank. When P, Q, and R opened
simultaneously for tank T2 (cuboidal) they filled 40% capacity
or 1632 liters in (2K-8.4) hours. If P, Q, R opened for tank T2
in such a way, that P and Q opened simultaneously and pipe
R opened on every 3th hour. Then find in (2K+14) hours,
approximately what percentage of tank T2 is filled. Diameter
of T1 is 40 cm which is 2/21 times of its height. Use 1 cm² =
1000 liters.
A.62%
B.70%
C.68%
D.66%
E.65%

4. Ratio of A's age 8 years after to present age of B is 3: 5 and

B's present age is 25% of C's age after 15 years. After 4 years
A's age is 12.5% of D's age after 4 years. If the sum of the
ages of A, B, C and D after 1 year is 101, then what is the
present age of B?
A.18 years
B.15 years
C.12 years
D.14 years
E.None of these
5. There are three mixtures of milk and water named as P, Q,
and R. A new mixtures M is formed by mixing 120 ml from
mixture P and 96 ml from mixture Q. Now 48 ml mixture
from R M in which Milk and water ratio is 2:1 is mixed with
54 ml of mixture M to form new mixture N, such that ratio of
milk and water in mixture N becomes 65:37. The ratio of milk
and water in mixture P initially is L: K respectively, and in
mixture Q is 5:3 respectively. Find the value of [6(L+K)/(2L+
K)].
A.7.5
B.3.75
C.3.5
D.4.5
E.None of these

6. Salary of Arun is 1.5 lakhs. If salary of Arun is increased by

2k%, and then decreased by k%, and salary of Himanshi is
increased by k%, after that both realized that net increment
in salary of both (in Rs.) is same. Find the value of (3k+167),
if salary of Arun is 400% more than that of Himanshi.
A.123
B.234
C.287
D.250
E.None of these
7. A man invested Rs. 5P in scheme X earning simple interest at
(R-4)% per annum. After 4 years money amounts to Rs. 7.4P.
He gives 60% what he invested to his friend, his friends
invested this money in scheme Y for 3 years earning
compound interest at (R/2+7)% per annum. The difference
between simple interest and compound interest earned is
Rs. 2679.60. Find the money invested in scheme X.
A.Rs. 9600
B.Rs. 16000
C.Rs. 12800
D.Rs. 15000
E.None of these

8. In a company, there is (2k +80) employees. On a rainy day,

one third of male employees those present on that day is
480 less than number of females present on that day. On
that day, 75% of females are present, and 20% of total
employees is on leave. Find the value of k, if number of
female employees in company is twice as that of male
employees?
A.800
B.640
C.560
D.480
E.None of these
9. 15 men or 20 women can complete a task in 108 (1/3) days,
while 25 men and 75 women together can complete it in P
days. Deepak can do an assignment in (1.5P-10) days, while
Deepa can do the same assignment in 0.8P days. They
started the work together and after Q days Deepak left, the
remaining assignment completed by Deepa in 7 days. Find
the value of P is how much percentage more or less than
that of Q.
A.400%
B.250%
C.300%
D.200%
E.None of these

10. There are three persons P, Q, and R in a family, their ages

arranged in ascending order (P <Q<R). Difference between
the present age of P and Q is the same as that of Q and R,
while the difference between the ages of P and Q is more
than 2. Product of their ages is 400% more than the sum of
their ages. Find unit digit of (R-P) 13579. Ages of all three
numbers are integers.
