(C) 12.5% profit
(D) 12.5% loss
(E) None of these

Answers:

1-Ans : (C)

2-Ans : (D)

3-Ans. (C)

4-Ans. (D)

5-Ans. (A)
Let CP = Rs 100, P = 30.05%
∴ S.P. = Rs 130.05
Discounts = 10%, 15%, 15%∴ M.P. = 130.05 × 100/90 x 100/85 x 100/85 = Rs 200
If discounts are 10% and 15% only
∴ S.P. = M.P. × {(100-d1)/100} x {(100-d2)/100}
=> 200 x 90/100 x 85/100 = Rs. 153

So, Profit = 53%

6-Solution :(B) {192/(x-16)} – 192/x = 2 
=> Speed of the fast Train = 48 kmph

7-Solution : (C) Let the speeds of fast plane and slow planes be x and y m/sec respectively D = s × t
If they move in opposite direction
15 (x + y) = 1200 ⇒ x + y = 80 m/sec … (i)
If they move in same direction, relative speed = x – y m/sec
Time = 60 i.e. 4 times
∴ Speed is (1/4)th x – y = 20 m/sec … (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii),
y = 50 m/sec = 0.05 km/sec

8-Ans. (D)
You are starting from Mumbai at 12:00 noon, so you’ll meet first train which is going to reach Mumbai at 12:30pm or which started from Pune at 8:00am. Also you’ll reach Pune at 4:30pm, so you’ll meet the last train which leaves Pune at 4:00pm.
So in all, you are going to meet all trains which start from Pune at 8:00am, 9:00am, 10:00am, 11:00am, 12:00noon, 1:00pm, 2:00pm, 3:00pm and 4:00pm i.e. 9 in total. option d.

9-Solution : (A)
(D/40) – (D/50) = 1 ⇒ D = 200 kms

10-Solution : (A) C.P. of 70 kg rice = Rs 175
S.P. = 2.75 × 70 =385/2
P =385/2 – 175 =35/2
∴ P% = 35/2 ×1/175 × 100 = 10 %
