2) Rs398.80
3) Rs437.40
4) Rs583.20
5) None of these

Answer 3) Rs437.40
; Breadth of carpet=3 m
∴ Length of carpet=3×1.44=4.32
∴ Area of carpet=3×4.32=12.96 m^2
New length=4.32×140/100=6.048 m
New breadth=3×125/100=3.75 cm
New area=6.048×3.75=22.68 m^2
Increased area=22.68-12.96=9.72 m^2
∴ Required increased cost=9.72×45=Rs437.40

3)in a mixture of milk and water the proportion of water by weight was 75%. If in 60 gm of mixture 15 gm water was added, what would be the percentage of water? (Weight in gm)
1) 75%
2) 88%
3) 90%
4) 100%

Answer 5) None of these
Water in 60 gm mixture=60×75/100=45 gm
Again, water in (60+15) gm mixture=45+15=60 gm
∴ Required percentage=60/75×100=80%

5)A 280-m-long train takes 20 sec to cross a person who is going in the same direction with the speed of 6 km/h. After crossing that person, the train can reach next station in 45 min. How long will that person take to reach the station after being crossed by train?
1) 7 hr 3 min
2) 6 hr 3 min
3) 7 hr 30 min
4) 7 hr 50 min
5) 6 hr 30 min

Click to View Answer
Answer 1) 7 hr 3 min
Speed of the person = 6 km/hr
= 6 * 5/18 = 5/3 m/s
Let the speed of train be x m/s
20 = 280/(x – 5/3)
x – 5/3 = 14
x = 47/3m/s
Now the distance covered by train in 45 minutes.
= 47/3 * 60 * 45 = 42300
Time taken by person to cover the distance
= 42300/(6*5/18) = 25380 sec
25380/(60 * 60) = 7 hours 3 minutes

Directions: What value should come in the place of question mark (?) in the following questions?
