B. Rs.11,290
C. Rs.11,289
D. Rs.11,287
E. Rs.11,291

Answer: Option C

Solution: According to the question,

P = Rs.44,375

r = 12%

t = 2 years

C.I = P({1 + \( \frac{r} {100})^t\) – 1}

C.I = 44375{(1 + \( \frac{12} {100})^2\)– 1}

C.I = 44375{( \( \frac{25 + 3} {25})^2\)– 1}

C.I = 44375{\( \frac{784 } {625}\) – 1}

C.I = 44375{\( \frac{784 – 625} {625}\)}

C.I = 44375 x \( \frac{159} {625}\)

Pipes and Cistern:

6. Pipe J can fill a tank in 14hours while pipe K alone can fill it in 28hours and pipe L can fill a tank in 42hours. Pipe J was opened and after one hour Pipe K was opened and after two hours from start of Pipe J, Pipe L was also opened. Find the time in which the cistern is just full?

A. 3\( \frac{3} {11}hours \)
B. 8\( \frac{3} {11}hours \)
C. 7\( \frac{3} {11}hours \)
D. 5\( \frac{3} {11}hours \)
E. 6\( \frac{3} {11}hours \)

Answer: Option E

Solution: According to the question

Part of cistern filled by Pipe J in first 2 hours = \( \frac{1} {14} × 2 \) = \( \frac{1} {7}\)

357x – 323x – 204

34x = 204

x = 6

Number of students in Hindi class = 19x = 19 × 6 = 114

Part of cistern filled by Pipe K in one hour = \( \frac{1} {28} \)

Part of cistern filled by Pipe K in one hour = \( \frac{1} {28}\)

Remaining to the filled = 1 – \( \frac{1} {7} \) – \( \frac{1} {28} \)

Pipe J, K and L together 1hour filled = \( \frac{1} {14} \) + \( \frac{1} {28} \) + \( \frac{1} {42} \) = \( \frac{6 + 3 + 2} {84} \)

\( \frac{23} {28} \) part of cistern is filled by pipe J, K and L \( \frac{23/28} {11/84} \)

= \( \frac{23 × 84} {28 × 11} \)

= \( \frac{69} {11} \)

= 6\( \frac{3} {11} \)hours

Answer: Option D

Solution: Number of male workers working in factory G in 2011

= 180 x 100 = 18000

Number of male workers working in factory G in 2010

120 x 100 = 12000

Percentage increase = \( \frac{18000 – 12000} {12000} \) x 100

= \( \frac{6000} {12000} \) x 100

= 50%

2. Number of male workers working in factory H in 2014 and 2015 together are approximately what percent of number of male workers working in factory I in 2010 and 2015 together?

A. 71%
B. 67%
C. 74%
D. 64%
E. 62%

Answer: Option B

Solution: Number of male workers working in factory H in 2014 and 2015 together

(180 + 260) x 100 = 44000

Number of male workers working in factory I in 2010 and 2015 together

(320 + 340) x 100 = 44000

Percentage = \( \frac{44000} {66000} \) x 100

= \( \frac{4400} {6600} \)

= 66.7% ≈ 67%

3. What is the difference between number of male workers working in factory I in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015 together and number of male workers working in factory G, H, I and J together in 2013?

A. 22120
B. 22080
C. 22050
D. 22100
E. 22000

Answer: Option E

Solution: Number of male workers working in factory I in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2015 together

= (320 + 240 + 180 + 140 + 340) x 100

= 12200

= Number of male workers working in factory G, H, I and J together in 2013

= (240 + 180 + 140 + 340) x 100

= 10000

Difference = 12200 – 10000

= 22000

4. What is the percentage decrease in number of male workers working in factory H in 2013 as compared to the previous year?

A. 17.6%
B. 15.5%
C. 10.3%
D. 12.5%
E. 14.2%

Answer: Option D

Solution: Number of male workers working in factory H in 2013

280 X 100 = 28000

Number of male workers working in factory H in 2012

320 X 100 = 32000

Percentage decrease = \( \frac{32000 – 28000} {32000} \) x 100

= \( \frac{4000} {32000} \) x 100

= \( \frac{100} {8} \)

= 12.5%

5. What is the ratio between number of male workers working in factory G and J together in 2014 to number of male workers working in factory H and I together in 2015?

A. 29 : 30
B. 19 : 20
C. 29 : 20
D. 30 : 19
E. 30 : 29

Answer: Option A

Solution: Number of male workers working in factory G and J together in 2014

Number of male workers working in factory G and J together in 2014

= (300 + 280) x 100

= 58000
