Laterite Soil is associated with the term leaching.

Key Points

• Laterite soil is associated with the term leaching.
• Leaching is the process of water dissolving and carrying away soluble materials from the soil.
• In laterite soil, the leaching process is caused by the high rainfall and high temperatures in tropical and subtropical regions.
• The water that falls as rain percolates through the soil, dissolving and carrying away the soluble materials, such as lime and silica.
• This leaves behind a soil that is rich in iron oxide and aluminum compounds, which gives laterite soil its characteristic red color.
• Laterite soil is often poor in nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, and it is also poorly drained.
• This makes it challenging to grow crops in laterite soil, but it can be used for other purposes, such as brickmaking and road construction.
• Here are some of the factors that contribute to the leaching of laterite soil:
• High rainfall:
• The high rainfall in tropical and subtropical regions causes a lot of water to percolate through the soil.
• This water dissolves and carries away the soluble materials, such as lime and silica.
• High temperatures:
• The high temperatures in tropical and subtropical regions also contribute to the leaching of laterite soil.
• The heat causes the water to move more quickly through the soil, which dissolves and carries away more of the soluble materials.
• Well-drained soil:
• Laterite soil is typically well-drained, which means that it does not retain water well.
• This also contributes to the leaching of laterite soil, as the water is able to move more quickly through the soil and dissolve and carry away more of the soluble materials.

Given

The company sold 250000 scooties in year 2015-16

The drop in the company's sales in 2016-2017 = 22%

The drop in the company's sales in 2017-2018 = 12%

The drop in the company's sales in 2018-2019 = 20%

The drop in the company's sales in 2016-2017 = 10%

Calculation

The number of scooty sold in 2016-2017 = 250000 × (100 - 22)/100

The number of scooty sold in 2016-2017 = (250000 × 78)/100 = 195000

The number of scooty sold in 2017-2018 = 195000 × (100 - 12)/100

The number of scooty sold in 2017-2018 = (195000 × 88)/100 = 171600

The number of scooty sold in 2018-2019 = 171600 × (100 - 20)/100

The number of scooty sold in 2018-2019 = (171600 × 80)/100 = 137280

The number of scooty sold in 2019-2020 = 137280 × (100 - 10)/100

The number of scooty sold in 2019-2020 = (13728 × 90)/100 = 123552

Now to increase the sale in 2020-2021 by 20%,

⇒ 123552 × \(120\over100\)

⇒ 148263

Given

Two trains of lengths = 180 cm and 160 cm

Speed of the first train = 72 km/hr

Speed of the second train = 54 km/hr

Concept used

Relative speed

When two bodies are moving in the opposite direction, the relative speed is calculated by adding the speed of both bodies.

Formula

Distance = speed × time

Calculation

Total distance travelled by train = Sum of the length of the trains

Total distance travelled by train = 180 + 160 = 340

Relative speed = 72 + 54 = 126km/hr (126 × 5/18 = 35 m/s)

Time = Distance/speed

⇒ Time = 340/35

⇒ Time = 9.7 seconds

The correct answer is 4.

Given

A job can be done in = 10 days

Concept used

Total Work  = No.of person × time taken to do work

Formula used

W = m × d, where m = Total men and d = no. of days.

Calculation

Let there be x people in the beginning

Total work = 10x

According to the question,

Work done on day 1 = x (where 1 is 1^st day)

Work done on day 2 = (x - 5)

Work done on day 3 = (x - 10) ...and so on

Work done on day 12 = (x - 55)

⇒ x + x - 10 + x - 20 + .....+ x - 110 = 10x

⇒ 12x - 330 = 10x

⇒ 2x = 330

⇒ x = 165

The correct option is 3.

Given:

⇒ 12276 /1.55 = 7920

Calculation

Shortcut Trick

When a value is successively increased and decreased by the same percentage x%, the net change is always a decrease of (x² ÷ 100)%.

Net percentage change = −(15² ÷ 100)% = −2.25%

July Bill = June Bill × (100% − 2.25%)

July Bill = 1200 × 97.75% = 12 × 97.75 = 1173

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 1173.

Alternate Method

Given:

Bill in June = Rs. 1200

Increase in Price = 15%

Decrease in Consumption = 15%

Formula Used:

Expenditure = Price × Consumption

June Bill: ₹1200

Price: +15%

Cons: −15%

Net Change: −2.25%

July Bill: ₹1173

Calculations:

Let the initial price of petrol be 100x and initial consumption be 100y.

⇒ Initial Expenditure in June = 100x × 100y = 10000xy = 1200

⇒ xy = 1200 ÷ 10000 = 0.12

⇒ Price of petrol in July = 100x × (100 + 15)% = 115x

⇒ Consumption of petrol in July = 100y × (100 − 15)% = 85y

⇒ Expenditure in July = 115x × 85y = 9775xy

⇒ Substituting xy = 0.12: July Bill = 9775 × 0.12

⇒ July Bill = 1173

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 1173.

Additional Information

Successive Percentage Change

When a quantity undergoes two successive percentage changes a% and b%, the effective percentage change is given by the formula: a + b + (a × b) ÷ 100.

Net Effect of Equal Increase and Decrease

If a given quantity is first increased by x% and then decreased by x%, there is always a net decrease given by the formula: (x² ÷ 100)%.

Expenditure, Price, and Consumption

The total expenditure on a commodity is the product of its price per unit and the total quantity consumed: Expenditure = Price × Consumption.

Shortcut Trick

Present ratio = 4 : 3 = 8 : 6 (to equalise the age difference of 2 parts).

After 4 years, ratio = 9 : 7. The increase is 1 part (9 − 8 = 1), which equals 4 years.

Present ages: Mr. X = 8 × 4 = 32 years, Wife = 6 × 4 = 24 years (Difference = 8 years).

At marriage, ratio = 5 : 3. Difference = 2 parts = 8 years, so 1 part = 4 years.

Age of Mr. X at marriage = 5 × 4 = 20 years. Years since marriage = 32 − 20 = 12 years.

∴ The correct answer is 12 years.

Alternate Method

Given:

Present ratio of age of Mr. X and his wife = 4 : 3

Ratio after 4 years = 9 : 7

Ratio at the time of marriage = 5 : 3

At Marriage
Ratio = 5 : 3
Ages = 20 & 12

Present
Ratio = 4 : 3
Ages = 32 & 24

+4 Years
Ratio = 9 : 7
Ages = 36 & 28

12 Years Ago

+4 Years

Calculation:

Let the present ages of Mr. X and his wife be 4x and 3x respectively.

After 4 years, their ages will be (4x + 4) and (3x + 4).

⇒ (4x + 4) ÷ (3x + 4) = 9 ÷ 7

⇒ 7 × (4x + 4) = 9 × (3x + 4)

⇒ 28x + 28 = 27x + 36

⇒ 28x − 27x = 36 − 28

⇒ x = 8

⇒ Present age of Mr. X = 4 × 8 = 32 years

⇒ Present age of his wife = 3 × 8 = 24 years

Let them be married y years ago.

⇒ Ages at the time of marriage were (32 − y) and (24 − y).

According to the given ratio at marriage:

⇒ (32 − y) ÷ (24 − y) = 5 ÷ 3

⇒ 3 × (32 − y) = 5 × (24 − y)

⇒ 96 − 3y = 120 − 5y

⇒ 5y − 3y = 120 − 96

⇒ 2y = 24

⇒ y = 12

∴ The correct answer is 12 years.

Additional Information

Constant Age Difference Rule

The absolute difference between the ages of two individuals always remains constant regardless of the time period.

Ratio Equalisation Method

When solving age ratios across different times, multiply the given ratios by appropriate integers so that the difference between the numerator and denominator is the same in both scenarios.

Cross-Multiplication Trick

For ratio changes from a : b to c : d over time t, setting up an equation and using the cross-product difference directly yields the exact multiplier for the ratio parts.

Given

Discount = 25%

Profit = 10%

Selling Price = 550

Formula used

Selling price = (100 - D%)/100 × M.P

where M.P = Marked price and D = discount

Calculation

Let the Marked price be x

Kirti buys it for = 75/100 × x

Her S.P after 10% profit = \(75\over100\)x ×\(110\over 100\) = 550

⇒ x = (550 × 100 × 100)/75 × 110

⇒ x = 666.67

The correct option is 3.

Given

The percentage of students enrolled below 18 = 90%

The percentage of students that are regular = 60%

The number of students that are regular = 270

Concept

Percentage = \(Part\over whole\)× 100

Calculation

Let the total number of students in the class be x.

The percentage of students that are regular = 60% of x = 0.6x

⇒ 0.6x = 270

⇒ x = 270/0.6

⇒ x = 450

Now, the total number of students in the class that are below 18 = 90% of 450 = 405

The total number of students in the class that are below 18 are 405

The correct option is 1.

Given

The average height of five friends = 158 cm

The heights of 4 of them are 154cm, 162cm, 160cm and 152cm.

Formula used

Average = Total sum of all values / No.of values

Calculation

The sum of the height of all five friends = Average × no. of friends

The sum of the height of all five friends = 158 × 5 = 790

The sum of 4 of them = 154 + 162 + 160 + 152 = 628

The height of the fifth person = 790 - 628 = 162 cm

The correct option is 1.

Concept Used:

Follow the BODMAS rule according to the table given below:

Calculation

⇒ 5% of 52 × 1225 – 145 = 2 × Y

⇒ 1/20 × 52 × 1225 - 145 = 2 × Y

⇒ 2.6 × 1225 - 145 = 2 × Y

⇒ 3185 - 145 = 2 × Y

⇒ 3040 = 2 × Y

⇒ Y = 3040/2

⇒ Y = 1520

Given

The H.C.F. of two numbers = 19

Their difference = 19

Concept
