Given: In an election A got 39% of total votes and B got 15% of the total votes and C got the remaining votes. If the difference between the votes received by A and C was 56000.

Formula: If A got a% votes and B got b% votes, difference in the votes = (a - b) % of Total votes

Calculation:

Let total votes be 100x

A get = 39x

B = 15x

So, C gets  46x

As per question,

46x – 39x = 56000

⇒ 7x = 56000

⇒ X = 8000

Hence A gets = 39x = 39 × 8000 = 312000

Shortcut Trick

Downstream speed = 7.5 + 2.5 = 10 km/h; Upstream speed = 7.5 − 2.5 = 5 km/h.

Ratio of Speeds (Downstream : Upstream) = 10 : 5 = 2 : 1.

Since distance is constant, Time ratio = 1 : 2.

Difference in time units = 2 − 1 = 1 unit → 3 hours.

Distance = Speed × Time = 10 km/h × (1 × 3 h) = 30 km.

∴ The correct answer is 30 km.

Alternate Method

Given:

Speed of boat in still water (u) = 7.5 km/h

Speed of current (v) = 2.5 km/h

Time difference (ΔT) = 3 hours

Formula Used:

Distance (D) = [(S₁ × S₂) ÷ (S₁ − S₂)] × ΔT

Where S₁ is downstream speed and S₂ is upstream speed.

⇒ Downstream speed (S₁) = u + v = 7.5 + 2.5 = 10 km/h

⇒ Upstream speed (S₂) = u − v = 7.5 − 2.5 = 5 km/h

⇒ According to the question, D/5 − D/10 = 3

⇒ (2D − D) ÷ 10 = 3

⇒ D ÷ 10 = 3

⇒ D = 30 km

∴ The correct answer is 30 km.

Additional Information

Downstream and Upstream Speed

When a boat moves with the flow of the river, the speed is u + v (Downstream). Against the flow, it is u − v (Upstream).

Distance when Time Difference is Given

Distance D = (Product of Speeds ÷ Difference of Speeds) × Difference in Time.

Boat and Stream Formulas

Speed of boat in still water = (Downstream + Upstream) ÷ 2. Speed of stream = (Downstream − Upstream) ÷ 2.

Given:

Principal = Rs. 4000

Rate = 6.25%

Time = 2 years

Formula used:

SI = (P × R × T)/100

A = P + SI

Calculation:

According to the question

SI = (P × R × T)/100

⇒ Rs. (4000 × 6.25 × 2)/100

⇒ Rs. (80 × 6.25)

⇒ Rs. 500

Now,

A = P + SI

⇒ Rs. (4000 + 500)

⇒ Rs. 4500

∴ The total amount that Kavita will receive at the end of the two-year term is Rs. 4500

Given:

**(**3/4)th distance is travelled with speed 30 km/h.

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

Let the total distance be x km.

According to question

30 × 2 = 3x/4

⇒ x = 80 km 

∴ The total distance travelled by Mr. A is 80 km.

Calculation:

Value of 360° = 100%

So Q is (75/110) × 100 = 68.18 percent of candidates in S

∴ The correct option is 3

Given:

The ratio of the father's age to the son’s age is 3 ∶ 1

The product of their ages is 147.

Calculation:

Let the age of father is = 3x

The age of son is = x

According to question, 

3x × x = 147

3x² = 147

x² = 147/3 = 49

x = √49

x = 7

So, father's age is = 3 × 7 = 21 years

Son's age = 7 years

The age of father after 5 years = 21 + 5 = 26 years

The age of son after 5 years = 7 + 5 = 12 years

Ratio = 26 ∶ 12 = 13 ∶ 6

Hence, the correct answer is "13 : 6".

Shortcut TrickThe average weight of n members of a family is w kg, If one family member whose weight is W kg leaves the group,

then the new average weight of remaining family members = y

So,

W = {n × (w - y)} + y

According to the question,

⇒ 40 = 6 × (25 - y) + y

⇒ 40 = 150 - 6y + y

⇒ 40 = 150 - 5y

⇒ 5y = 150 - 40

⇒ 5y = 110

⇒ y = 22 kg

Therefore, '22 kg' is the required answer.

Alternate Method

Given:

The average weight of 6 members of a family is 25 kg,

If one family member whose weight is 40 kg leaves the group,

Formula used:

Sum of n numbers = (Average of n numbers) × n

Calculation:

The average weight of 6 members of a family = 25 kg

The total weight of all 6 members = 25 × 6 = 150 kg

The weight of the member who leaves the group = 40 kg

The remaining weight of remaining 5 members = 150 - 40 = 110 kg

The new average = $\frac{110}{5}$ = 22 kg

Therefore, '22 kg' is the required answer.

Given:

Average age of 14 friends = 14 years

Calculation:

The average age of 14 friends is 14 years.

The sum of the ages of all 14 friends = 14 ×  14 = 196 years.

Now, if the age of the 15^th friend is added, the average remains the same. 

Let's denote the age of the 15^th friend as "x" years.

The sum of ages of all 15 friends (including the 15^th friend) would be 196 years + x years.

According to the given condition, the average remains the same. The new average is still 14 years.

We can set up an equation using the concept of averages:

(196 + x) / 15 = 14

Simplifying the equation:

196 + x = 14 ×  15

196 + x = 210

x = 210 - 196

x = 14

Therefore, the age of the 15^th friend is 14 years.

∴ Option 3 is the correct answer.

Calculation

The demand for company B = 600

The demand for company C = 2500

= 600/2500 × 100

= 24%

The demand for company B is 24% of the demand for Company C

Given:

The ratio in the coins of 20 P, 25 P and 50P = 7 : 6 : 5

Total amount = Rs. 297

Calculation

As we know that, 20 P = 1/5 Rs. , 25 P = 1/4 Rs. and 50 P = 1/2 Rs.

Bag contains 20 P, so total amount by 20 P coin = (1 ÷ 5) × 7x = 1.40x

Similarly, total amount by 25 P coin = (1 ÷ 4) × 6x = 1.50 x

And, total amount by 50 P coin = (1 ÷ 2) × 5x = 2.50x

According to question,

1.40x + 1.50x + 2.50x = 297

⇒ 5.40x = 297

Then, x = 55

∴ Number of coins of 25 P = 6x

55 × 6 = 330

Given:

Cost price of 12 pens is equal to the selling price of 8 pens.

Formula used:

Profit = selling price - cost price

Profit% = profit/cost price × 100

Calculation:

Let cost price of 1 pen = Rs 1

Cost price of 12 pens = Selling price of 8 pens = Rs 12

Cost price of 8 pens = Rs 8

Profit = Rs (12 - 8) = Rs 4

Profit% = 4/8 × 100

⇒ profit% = 50%

∴ profit% is 50%

Given:

X, Y and Z invested in the ratio 5 ∶ 7 ∶ 8. They invested for 14 months, 8 months and 7 months respectively.

Concept Used:

Share of profit divided in the ratio of investment

Calculation:

Let, investment of X = 5a

Investment of Y = 7a

Investment of Z = 8a

Weighted ratio of investment of X, Y and Z

⇒ 5a × 14 ∶ 7a × 8 ∶ 8a × 7

⇒ 70a ∶ 56a ∶ 56a

⇒ 5 ∶ 4 ∶ 4 

∴ Ratio of share of profit will be 5 : 4 : 4

The logic followed here is:

1^st word is "the item" and 2^nd word is "collection of those items".

According to the given information:

Cup ∶ Crockery → Cup is a type of Crockery.

Similarly

​Sharpener ∶ Stationery → Sharpener is a type of Stationery.

Hence, the correct answer is "​Sharpener ∶ Stationery".

Alternate Method The logic followed here is:

2³ + 1 = 9

3³ + 2 = 29

4³ + 3 = 67

5³ + 4 = 129

6³ + 5 = 221

After interchanging the signs we get;

New Equation: 114 + 85 ÷ 5 × 4 – 33 = 149 

114 + 85 ÷ 5 × 4 – 33 = 149 

114 + 17 × 4 – 33 = 149

-22.29 ≠ 149. 

Option 4) – and +

Given Equation: 114 ÷ 85 + 5 × 4 – 33 = 149 

After interchanging the signs we get;

New Equation: 114 ÷ 85 - 5 × 4 + 33 = 149

114 ÷ 85 - 5 × 4 + 33 = 149 

1.34 - 5 × 4 + 33 = 149

1.34 - 20 + 33 = 149

34.34 - 20 = 149

14.34 ≠ 149.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 1'.

The pattern followed here is:

Hence, the correct answer is YCA.

Here, we use the BODMAS table given below:

Given:

​⇒ 300 + 242 × 11 - 15 ÷ 9 = ?

After interchanging  '+' and '-' and '×' and '÷' →

​⇒ 300 - 242 ÷ 11 + 15 × 9

Apply BODMAS rule:

​⇒ 300 - 22 + 15 × 9

​⇒​ 300 - 22 + 135​

​⇒ 435 - 22 = 413

​⇒ '300 - 242 ÷ 11 + 15 × 9 = 413'

Here, the value of the equation is '413'.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (3)".

The pattern followed is,

For 21 : 529

21 + 2 = 23

23² = 529

For 25 : 729

25 + 2 = 27

27² = 729

For 17 : ?

17 + 2 = 19

19² = 361

Hence, “361” is the correct answer.

Statements:

Concept:

• Wool is obtained from the fleece of animals.
• This wool is in form of thin fibres which are then woven to make clothes.
• Fabrics are made up of yarns and yarns are further made up of fibres.
• Clothes are made out of fabrics.

Explanation:

Spinning:

• The process of making yarn from fibres is called spinning.
• In this process, fibres from a mass of cotton wool are drawn out and twisted.
• This brings the fibres together to form a yarn.
• A simple device used for spinning is charkha.

Shearing:

• Wool is obtained from the hair of sheep or yak.
• Shearing is the process by which hairs are removed from the bodies of wool yielding animals.
• This hair is then processed to make wool.​

Weaving:

• The process of arranging two sets of yarns together to make a fabric is called weaving.
• The weaving of fabric is done on looms.
• The looms are either hand-operated or power-operated.

Ginning:

• Fibres of the cotton ball are separated from the seeds by combing.
• This process is called ginning of cotton.
• Ginning was traditionally done by hand.
