Question : A fruit seller sells $\frac{2}{5}$th part of fruits at a profit of 10% and remaining at a loss of 5%. If the total profit is INR 1850, then what is the total cost price of fruits?

Option 1: INR 198000

Option 2: INR 205000

Option 3: INR 185000

Option 4: INR 176000

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 185000


Solution : Let $x$ be the cost price of fruits.
Profit = 10%
Selling price of $\frac{2}{5}^{th}$ part of fruits = $\frac{2}{5}×x×\frac{110}{100}$ = $0.44x$
Loss = 5%
Selling price of remaining part of fruits = $\frac{3}{5}×x×\frac{95}{100}$ = $0.57x$
Total selling price = $0.44x + 0.57x= 1.01x$

Question : 60% of 40% of a number is equal to 150. What is the 20% of that number?

Option 1: 175

Option 2: 145

Option 3: 200

Option 4: 125

Team Careers360 14th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 125


Solution : Let the number be $x$.
According to the question,
$\frac{60}{100}\times\frac{40}{100}\times x=150$
⇒ $\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{2}{5}\times x=150$
$\therefore x=625$
Now, 20% of $x$
= $\frac{20}{100}\times x$
= $\frac{1}{5}\times 625$
= 125

Question : A train covers a certain distance in 210 minutes at a speed of 60 km/hr. The time taken by the train, to cover the same distance at a speed of 80 km/hr is:

Option 1: $3\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$

Option 2: $2\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$

Option 3: $4\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$

Option 4: $3\ \text{hours}$

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $2\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$


Solution : Speed of the train = 60 km/hr
Time = 210 minutes = $\frac{210}{60} = \frac{7}{2}$ hours
Distance covered = 60 × $\frac{7}{2}$ = 210 km
$\therefore$ Time taken at 80 km/hr $=\frac{210}{80} = \frac{21}{8} = 2\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$
Hence, the correct answer is $2\frac{5}{8}\ \text{hours}$.
