What is the number of people who neither like dogs nor cats?

A. 29
B. 22
C. 24
D.19
E. 25

<strong>Show Correct Answers</strong>

C. 24

Let w be the number of people who like only dogs

X be those who like both dogs and cats

Y be those who like only cats

Z be those who neither like dogs nor cats.

So, w+x+y+z=80

Now, w+x=2*(x+y)

Hence, w-x=2y

It is given,

y+z=32 and w+z=56

We know, x=2y

So, we get w=2x

Similarly, we also get w+x=48(since y+z=32)

Hence, Putting w=2x in the above we get,

X=16, W=32, Y=8 and Z=24

2. A can do a piece of work in 12 days, B can do the same work in 18 days. They worked for 6 days and C does the rest of work in 4 days. If they get Rs. 1650 for the whole work, find the individual share of A,B and C respectively?

A. 825, 550, 275
B. 550, 825, 275
C. 825, 275, 550
D. 850, 525, 225
E. None of these

<strong>Show Correct Answers</strong>

A. 825, 550, 275

Work done by A in 6 days= 6/12=1/2

Work done by B in 6 days= 6/18 = 1/3

Remaining work= 1 – (1/2+1/3)= 1/6

This work is done by C in 4 days i.e. C can complete the whole work in 24 days.

So, Ratio of work= 6/12 : 6/18 : 4/24

=1/2 : 1/3 : 1/6 = 3 : 2 : 1

Share of A= (3/6*1650)=Rs.825

Share of B= (2/6*1650)=Rs.550

Share of C=(1/6*1650)=Rs.275

3. A man X is driving to work. In order to reach office for meeting he drives faster and the speed is increased by 5km/h and he reached office 30 minutes early. Assuming that due to traffic his speed is decreased by 3 km/h he will be late for the meeting by 30 minutes. Calculate the Speed and the distance to the office?

A. 15km/h and 30km
B. 18km/h and 30km
C. 15km/h and 87km
D. 17km/h and 88km
E. None of these

<strong>Show Correct Answers</strong>

A. 15km/h and 30km

Let the distance be=x

Speed be=y

Time be=z

So according to question=

x/y – x/(y+5) = x/(y-3) – x/y

1/y – 1/(y+5) = 1/(y-3) – 1/y

(y+5-y)/[y(y+5)] = (y – y+3)/[(y-3)y]

5/[y+5] = 3/[y-3]

2y = 30

Y = 15km/h

Putting the value in the equation –

(y+5)*(z-30/60) = (y-3)*(z+30/60)

(y+5)*(2z-1) = (y-3)*(2z+1)

20*(2z-1) = 12*(2z+1)

10z-5=6z+3

4z=8

Z=2hours (120 Minutes)

Distance=15*120/60=30kms.

4. A maid borrowed money from 2 houses (X and Y) she works in. From X she borrowed money at an interest rate of 15% and from Y at the rate of 18%. The total money she borrowed was Rs. 24000. She paid Rs. 4050 as an interest in addition to the amount borrowed after 1 year. Find how much money she borrowed at 18% interest rate?

A. 12000
B. 13800
C. 15000
D. 20000
E. 25000

<strong>Show Correct Answers</strong>

C. 15000

Let the Sum at 15% be Rs. X

Then at 18% be Rs. (24000-x)

P1=x, R1=15

P2=(24000-x)R2=18

After 1 year T=1

(P1*T*R1)/100 * (P2*T*R2)100=4050

(x*1*15)/100 + {(24000-x)*1*18}/100=4050

15x + 432000 = 18x+405000

X=9000

Money Borrowed at 15% =9000

Money Borrowed at 18%=(24000-9000)=15000

5. A business man invested in 2 types of Simple interest bearing securities ( S1 and S2). He invested in S1 at the rate of 6% p.a and 7% p.a. for the S2. After 2 years, he earned  Rs. 354. One fourth of the amount invested in S1 is equal to the one-fifth of the amount invested in S2. Calculate the total money the man invested in the securities?

A. 2500
B. 2700
C. 3500
D. 3400
E. 3000

<strong>Show Correct Answers</strong>

B. 2700

Let the sums be X and Y

R1=6, R2=7, T=2

(P1*R1*T)/100 + (P2*R2*T)/100 =354

(x*6*2)/100  + (y*7*2)/100 = 354

6x+7y = 17700

Also, x/4 = y/5

5x – 4y=0

X=1200

Y= 1500

Sum=1200+1500=2700
