Solutions to Week 12 Quizzes-

Quants

1. Akshay was half of Barun’s age 10 years ago. If their present ages ratio is 3:4, what will be the total of their present ages?

a) 45

b) 30

c) 35

d) 40

Solution:

Let the present ages of Akshay and Barun be 3x and 4x respectively.

Ten years ago, Akshay was half of Barun’’s age

= (3x – 10) = 1/2(4x− 10)

= 3x – 10 = 2x – 5

= x = 5

Total of their present ages

= 3x + 4x = 7x =  7 × 5 = 35

2.  A milk vendor has two jars of milk, Jar 1 and Jar 2. Jar 1 contains a mixture of milk and water in 7: 2 ratio and Jar 2 contains a mixture of milk and water in 9: 4 ratio. In what ratio of volumes should the liquids in Jar 1 and Jar 2 be combined to obtain a mixture of milk and water in 3:1 ratio?

a) 27:14

b) 27:13

c) 27:16

d)27:18

Solution:

Concentration of milk in the first jar is 7/9 and that in the second jar is 9/13. They need to be mixed in a certain ratio to get a solution which has 3/4 milk. 

Applying alligation,

(Liquid taken from jar 1) / (Liquid taken from jar 2)

= (9/13 – 3/4) / (3/4 – 7/9)

= 27/13

3. Mitesh and Amit undertake to do a piece of work for Rs. 800. Mitesh could do it in 6 days, the other guy Amit in 8 days. With the assistance of a Umesh they finish it in 3 days. What  is the share of Umesh?

a) 200

b) 150

c) 100

d) 175

Solution:

Mitesh’s a day work = 3/6, Amit’s 3 days work = 3/8.

 Umesh’s 3 days’ work = 1 — (3/6 + 3/8) = 1/8.

Clearly Rs.800 should be divided amongst them in the proportion of 3/6 : 3/8 : 1/8 or 4 : 3 : 1.

Mitesh’s share = 4/8 of Rs.800 = Rs.400.

Amit’s share = 3/8 of Rs.800 = Rs.300.

Umesh’s share = 1/8 of Rs.800 = Rs.100.

4. In a showroom, If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant and the profit is 320% of the cost. find out approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit?

a) 30%

b) 100%

c) 70%

d) 250%

Solution:

Let cost price =100

Then Profit = 320

Selling price = 100+ 320 = 420

new cost price = 125

profit =420−125=295

Required percentage = 295/420 * 100

=1475/21 %

=70%

5. Two numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3. If their L.C.M. is 48. What is the sum of the numbers?
