and HR. 18 study finance and HR, how many study exactly 2

subjects?


www.afterschoool.tk

28

Solution….

• 106 – ( 48+51+53) + ( (17-x) + (18-x) + (16-x) ) + ( 2x)

• We have assumed X = the number of students who have opted for all the three options.

• Solving, we get X = 5. • Thus we have 11 students opting for marketing&

finance, 12 students opting for marketing & HR, 13 students opting for finance & HR. Thus there are total 36 students opting for 2 subjects. Answer.

• Let us assume r = -3, we get 1/8^ (-1/3), which is 2. thus p =1 and q = 2

• Thus add p + q + r , we get 1+2+(-3), = 0• So answer is Zero. (you can assume any values

as per the conditions).

Graph shows market shares, what is the annual growth rate of company A (in terms of volume), if total volume has increased by

100% and value by 50%?


www.afterschoool.tk

330

Solution…

• Suppose total volume was 100 in 1991, then the company A had 25. in 2001 total volume should be 200, company A should have 50. Thus there is growth of 25 on 25 = 100% growth. Divided by 10 years, we get annual growth rate of 10%. Answer.

• A, B, C and D are 4 villages on a straight road in that order, given that B is equidistant from A and C while C is equidistant from B and D. Two girls Reena and Sheena decide to walk from A to D, covers the distance walking at 3 km/hr and

• Sheena covers the first lap (upto B) at either 1 or 4 km/ hr and then walked at the other speed till she meets Reena. Thereafter they walk together to D at Reena ‘s speed. Where did Sheena meet Reena?


www.afterschoool.tk

332

Solution…

• Suppose the total distance is 120 km. We have three gaps of 40 km each.

• The average speed of seena from A to C is : ¼ + 1/1 = 5/4 multiply it by ½, we get 5/8 reverse it : 8/5 = 1.6 km per hour. Thus Seena should first travel by 1 km per hour and then by 4 km per hour. Till Seena reach C, (80/1.6) = 50 hours – Reena should cover 50 * 3 = 150 km. Thus as per the logic they will never be able to meet (If she starts with the speed of 1 km per hour) Thus there is inadequate information. If she starts with the speed of 4 km per hour, there is a possibility that she can meet from B to C. …


www.afterschoool.tk

333

Continued…

• If Seena starts at 4 km per hour, then she is ahead of Reena. Seena will take 10 hours to cover the distance from A to B. now she will move at 1 km per hour. And now Reena will meet her. By the time Reena reaches B, Seena is at : 3.33 km from B. Now Reena will meet her at 3.33 / (3-1) = 1.66 hours. Thus they will meet between B and C. Now they will move @ 3 km per hour. Thus from B to D, they will take 80/3 = 26.6 hours to complete the journey as per our asumptions. We need exact distance to calculate the point where they met.

2^a = 3^b = 6^-c , what is value of 1/a +1/b +1/c?• Let us assume a value which we can equate with

all these values. (use log table for solving this question).

• Let us take all these values equal to 1. thus value of A, B and C are equal to Zero. Thus the answer is Zero.

• We can also assume these values to be equal to 6. • A = 2.6, B =1.65 and C = -1• Now putting these values: ½.6 + 1/1.65 – 1• = lcm of 2.6 & 1.65 = 4.29• Thus ( 2.6 +1.65 -4.29 ) /4.29 = zero. Answer.

Log T + Log (T-3) = 1, what is T?• We know that Log 10 = 1. (Log 10 10 )

• In log, we multiply, where the symbol is +.

• Thus t * (t-3) = 10 ; T^2 -3T =10; • T^2 -3t -10 = 0• T^2 – 5T + 2T -10 = 0• T (T-5) +2 (T-5); T-5 = 0 or T =5; T+2

=0• T = 5 or -2• Thus T = 5 answer.

Two numbers are such that twice the smaller number is less than twice the greater one by 18 and 1/3 of smaler and 1/5 of greater number are together 21. What are numbers?• Bigger number = X , smaller no. = Y• 2X-2Y = 18; 1/5 X + 1/3Y = 21• Let us multiply second eqation by 10, we get: 2X +

10/3 Y = 210. Subtract this equation from 1st. We get -16/3 Y = -192

• Y = 192 *3/16 = 36. thus smaller number is 36. Putting this in first equation, we get 2X = 90 or X = 45 answer. .

A number between 10 & 100 is five times the sum of its digits. If 9 is added to it, digits are reversed. What is the number? • Let us assume unit digit to be X & digit at

tenth place to be Y. • The number is : 10Y +X • 10Y +X= 5 (X +Y)• (10Y +X ) +9 = 10X +Y or 9y-9X = -9 or Y-

X =-1• 10Y – 5Y=5X-X or 5Y = 4X or Y = 4 and X

= 5 thus number is 45. • Solve such question by options.

If 2s:3t is duplicate ratio of 2s-p:3t-p then which is true: p^2= 6st or p =6st or 2p =3st

• Try from options. • Let us assume that P = 6. and as per

first option, St = 6. Let us try putting values in s and t and if we get correct answer, we get answer. S = 2, T = 3 or 4:9

• We get next ratios as : -2: 3 (which is subduplicate ratio of 2s:3t) thus this is the answer.
