Explanation of mix Quiz
1.
Let rate which invested by Prashant : rate which invested by vikram = 2x:x
(P*2x*2)/100 = P[(1+x/100)^2-1]
By solving this , we get x=200%
So rate at which Vikram invested = 200%
2.
Let the no. of students in A, B and C is a, a,and c.
Let the marks obtained by A , B and C is x,y and z.
Average of marks by class A and B= 52.5
(x+y)/2a = 52.5
Same as …(y+z)/(a+c)= 60
(x+z)/(a+c)=70
(x+y+z)/(a+a+c)= 60
On solving this a=2c
total no. of students =50
2a+c=50
So c=10.
3.
Time taken to complete the work = x+ 2x+3x+4x+…..+(p-1)x+….mx= mx(m+1)/2
Let the work done by each worker per day be k units.
Total Work=work done by 1’st worker+ work done by 2’nd worker +…..+ work done by m’th worker .
=k(x+2x+3x+…+mx)+k(2x+3x+4x+…+mx)+k(3x+4x+5x+…+mx)+….+kmx
= k(x)+ k2(2x)+k3(3x)+…..+km(mx)
= kx(1+2^2+3^2+….+m^2)
Part of total wages obtain by 1st worker = {kxm(m+1)/2}/ {kxm(m+1)(2m+1)/6)
= 5500/ 38500
3/(2m+1)= 55/385 ;
m=10.
4.
Let the engine problem happen at x km Distance and speed over entire part of journey is s km/hr.
x/s + (900-x) / (3x/5) = 900/s+ 2 ------eqn(1)
(x+150)/s + 900-(x+150) /(3x/5) = 900/s +1 --------eqn(2)
Eqn(2)- Eqn(1)
x= 600 km and speed s= 100km/hr
5.
Price of radio at the end of 1st year = 3000(1+x/100)(1-y/100)
Price of it at the end of next year = 3000(1+x/100)(1-y/100)(1+x/100)(1-y/100).
It is also 3000.
so taking obtion consideration when x=y then so price = 3000(1+y/100)^2(1-y/100)^2 which is less than 3000
So for it to be equal x>y.
6.
I.(P× r× 5)/100 = P , r= 20
II.P(1+r/100)^2 –P- (P×r×2)/100= 400; Pr^2 =4000000.
III.(P×r×1)/100= 2000; Pr= 200000
From II and III
Pr^2 ÷ Pr = 20; r=20
So Answer can be given by either I only or II and III only.
7.I. Let C.P. be Rs. x.
Then, M.P. = 130% of x = Rs. 13x/10
III. S.P. = 90% of M.P.
Thus, I and III give, S.P. = Rs. (90/100)x(13x/10)= Rs.117x/100
Gain = Rs.(117x/100)- x = Rs.17x/100
Thus, from I and III, gain % can be obtained.
Clearly, II is redundant.
8.
Let the length of the train P be x metres.
II. These trains are running in opposite directions.
III. Length of the train Q is 180 m.
I. Time taken by P to cross Q =(180 + x)/ Relative Speed
(180 + x)/ Relative speed = 18
Thus, even with I, II and III, the answer cannot be obtained.
9.
From I, total marks in 4 subjects = (60 x 4) = 240.
From II, E + M = 170
From III, M + S = 180
All Obtion are not true so None of these is the current Ans.
10.
5c3/15c3 = 2/91
11.
A’s 40% profit / B’s 40 % profit = 1250/850 = 25/17
Using componendo & Dividendo
40% profit of A and B / 30 = 42/8
So total profit = 42/8 *30*(100/40)= Rs. 393.75
12.
Ratio of circumference = 5/2
So ratio of area = (5/2)^2 = 25/4
13.
Let p/q=a then q/p=1/a
a -(1/a)=21/10
a=5/2
=>4(5/2)+4(2/5)
(20/2)+(8/5)
(100+16)/10
=>58/5
14.
1/8 * 1/x = 1/12
solving we get,
x = 24
so total capacity is, 24*4*60 = 5760 lt..
In 1 minute a tap fill the tank 4 litre
so,in 8 hours=(8*60)minute=480 minute a tap fill the tank (480*4)=1920 litre.
according to question 1920 litre will be emptied in 8 hours.
so,in 12 hours it will be emptied 2880 litre.
again,the tap fill the tank 4 litre in 1 minute.
so,in 12 hours=720 minutes the tap fill the tank (720*4)=2880 litre
so,according to question as the two works(filling the tank & empty the tank) are going on in 12 hours,so the capacity of the tank=(2880+2880)litre=5760litre

Let the engine problem happen at x km Distance and speed over entire part of journey is s km/hr.
x/s + (900-x) / (3x/5) = 900/s+ 2 ------eqn(1)
(x+150)/s + 900-(x+150) /(3x/5) = 900/s +1 --------eqn(2)
Eqn(2)- Eqn(1)
x= 600 km and speed s= 100km/hr
5.
Price of radio at the end of 1st year = 3000(1+x/100)(1-y/100)
Price of it at the end of next year = 3000(1+x/100)(1-y/100)(1+x/100)(1-y/100).
It is also 3000.
so taking obtion consideration when x=y then so price = 3000(1+y/100)^2(1-y/100)^2 which is less than 3000
So for it to be equal x>y.
6.
I.(P× r× 5)/100 = P , r= 20
II.P(1+r/100)^2 –P- (P×r×2)/100= 400; Pr^2 =4000000.
III.(P×r×1)/100= 2000; Pr= 200000
From II and III

So Answer can be given by either I only or II and III only.
7.I. Let C.P. be Rs. x.
Then, M.P. = 130% of x = Rs. 13x/10
III. S.P. = 90% of M.P.
Thus, I and III give, S.P. = Rs. (90/100)x(13x/10)= Rs.117x/100
Gain = Rs.(117x/100)- x = Rs.17x/100
Thus, from I and III, gain % can be obtained.
Clearly, II is redundant.

So total profit = 42/8 *30*(100/40)= Rs. 393.75
