Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

24

Why this answer is correct

Calculation

On Tuesday, male : female = 5 : 3

Total people on Tuesday = 320

Number of females = 3 parts = [320 × 3 / 8] = 120

Given, number of females = 5t

Thus:

5t = 120

So, t = 24

  5. EOption (e)

    250

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

280

Why this answer is correct

Given:

The ratio of milk to water in 630 liters of mixture is 4:3.

140 liters of the mixture is taken out.

Calculations:

The total parts of the mixture = 4 + 3 = 7 parts.

Quantity of milk in the mixture = (4/7) × 630 = 360 liters of milk.

Quantity of water in the mixture = (3/7) × 630 = 270 liters of water.

When 140 liters of the mixture is taken out, the ratio of milk and water in the 140 liters will also be 4:3.

Milk taken out = (4/7) × 140 = 80 liters.

So, the remaining milk = 360 - 80 = 280 liters.

∴ The quantity of milk now is 280 liters.

  5. EOption (e)

    32000

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

22000

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Rate of interest (r) = 8%

Time (t) = 10 years

Simple Interest (SI) = ₹17,600

Formula used:

SI = P × r × t / 100

Calculations:

17600 = P × 8 × 10 / 100

⇒ 17600 = P × 80 / 100

⇒ 17600 = P × 0.8

⇒ P = 17600 / 0.8

⇒ P = ₹22,000

∴ The principal is ₹22,000.

Question 466

IBPS RRB Office Assistant (Clerk) 2024• Numerical Ability• Numerical Ability

When item sold at Rs. 1400 then there is profit percent is 40%. Find the profit amount when item sold at Rs. 1345?

    365

  2. BOption (b)

    356

  3. COption (c)

  4. DOption (d)

    354

  5. EOption (e)

    352

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

345

Why this answer is correct

Given:

When the item is sold at Rs. 1400, profit percent is 40%.

Let the cost price be C.

Formula used:

Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price

Profit percent = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100

Calculations:

Profit percent = 40%, so:

(1400 - C) / C = 40 / 100

⇒ (1400 - C) = 0.4C

⇒ 1400 = 1.4C

⇒ C = 1400 / 1.4 = Rs. 1000

Now, when the item is sold at Rs. 1345, profit = 1345 - 1000 = Rs. 345

∴ The profit amount when the item is sold at Rs. 1345 is Rs. 345.
