  1. Each of two mobile phones i.e iPhone and Sony were sold at same price in Univercell.A profit of 10% was made on iPhone and loss of 30% was made on Sony.So what is the total gain or loss?
    A. 17% Loss
    B. 0.14% gain
    C. 14% loss
    D. 14% gain
    E. 0.17% Loss
    C.SP of both is same.So SP1=SP2=x
    So total SP=2x
    CP of iPhone=(100/110)of x (10% profit)
    CP of Sony=(100/70) of x (30% loss)Total CP= [(100/110)of x]+[(100/70) of x]
    = (180/77) of xProfit or Loss= [(SP-CP)/CP]X100
    =[(2x-(180x/77))/(180x/77)]X100
    =-(13/90)x100
    Negative symbol indicates loss.So 14%loss

  2. Find the number which is wrong according to the following series.
    10,30,130,350,1220,2210
    A. 350
    B. 1220
    C. 10
    D. 150
    E. 2210
    B.
    Here all no are in the series x(x²+1) and x is consecutive prime nos.

  3. What is the value of x in this series?
    20,19,20,16,x,9,12
    A. 14
    B. 12
    C. 19
    D. 18

    A. 76,800
    B. 1,50,000
    C. 1,00,000
    D. 19,200
    E. None of these
    B.
    1200[1+(r/100)²]=6000
    =>1+(r/100)²=5
    =>[1+(r/100)²]³=125
    =>1200{[1+(r/100)²]³}=125×1200=1,50,000

  5. In a container there was 90Litres of mixture of milk and water in the ratio 2:3.How much amount of milk should be added to make the ratio reverse?
    A. 30l
    B. 35l
    C. 45l
    D. 20l
    E. 15l
    C.
    Quantity of milk=(2/5)x90=36l
    Quantity of Water =(3/5)x90=54l
    Let x ltr milk to be added.
    (36+x)/54=3/2
    =>x=45ltrs 

  6. Today while Mr.Sharma was buying in market he saw books selling discount and decided to buy one book.The first book was offered at the rate of Rs.49 which is usually sold for 8/7 of that price.Then he was offered another one for Rs.54 which is usually sold for 7/6 th of that price.Out of the two books which one is preferable in terms of more discount?

    E. None of these
    D.
    FIRST BOOK:
    Original SP=(8/7)x49=56
    Discount=((56-49)/56)x100=12.5%
    SECOND BOOK:
    Original SP=(7/6)x54=63
    Discount=((63-54)/63)x100=14.28%

  7. A cistern is filled by pipe X in 10hrs but takes 2hrs longer to fill bcause of a leak in its bottom.If the cistern is full,the leak will take how much time to empty the tank?
    A. 80hrs

    C. 60hrs
    D. 20hrs
    E. 10hrs
    C.
    In 1hr cistern will be filled (x-10)/10x So cistern will be filled in 10x/(x-10)
    So 10x/(x-10)=12
    =>x=60hrs

  8. The current of a stream runs at the rate of 4km an hour.A boat goes 6km and back to the starting point in 2hrs.The speed of boat in still water is how much km/hr?
