Question 41

RBI Grade B Officer 2022• Quantitative Aptitude• Quantitative Aptitude

Direction:- Answer the given set of questions based on following information. A's monthly salary is 60% more than that of B. Both B and A, out of their respective monthly salary, pay equal sum towards EMI. Out of remaining monthly salary, A and B, spend a certain amount towards House rent. Amount that B pays towards EMI is 20% of her monthly salary. Amount that A pays towards House rent is X' times of that she pays towards EMI. Find total savings of A if her expenditure on EMI and house rent is just half of total salary. Also, EMI expanse of B is Rs 30000. It is to be assumed that A and B had only two expanses from their salaries i.e. EMI, House rent.

  1. AOption (a)

    Rs. 100000

  2. BOption (b)

    Rs. 150000

  3. COption (c)

    Rs. 125000

  4. DOption (d)

    Rs. 120000

  5. EOption (e)

    Rs. 122300

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Rs. 120000

Why this answer is correct

Let the salary of B be 500a Then the salary of A = 800a EMI paid by each of A and B = 100a House rent given by A = 100ax Given that, Total salary of A is expenditure on EMI and house rent is just half of total salary i.e. 100a + 100ax = 400a From this equation it is clear that, 400a will come when 100ax = 300a, therefore x = 3 Also, EMI expense of B = 30000 30000 ≡ 100a a = 300 so, monthly income of A = 800a = 800×30 = 240000 EMI expense of A =100a = 30000 House rent of A =100ax=3000×3 = 90000 So Total savings of A = 240000 – (90000 + 30000) = Rs. 120000

Question 42

RBI Grade B Officer 2022• Quantitative Aptitude• Quantitative Aptitude

Direction:- Answer the given set of questions based on following information. A's monthly salary is 60% more than that of B. Both B and A, out of their respective monthly salary, pay equal sum towards EMI. Out of remaining monthly salary, A and B, spend a certain amount towards House rent. Amount that B pays towards EMI is 20% of her monthly salary. Amount that A pays towards House rent is X' times of that she pays towards EMI. Difference between house rents paid by A and B is Rs 20000. House rent paid by A is Rs. 8000 more than EMI paid by her. If house rent paid by B is 16.66% of EMI paid by A, then, salary of A can possibly be :

  1. AOption (a)

    Rs. 115200

  2. BOption (b)

    Rs. 105200

  3. COption (c)

    Rs. 115000

  4. DOption (d)

    Rs. 115220

  5. EOption (e)

    Rs. 114200

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Rs. 115200

Why this answer is correct

Let the salary of B be 500a Then salary of A = 800a Let the EMI paid by A and B = 100a Then the house rent given by A = 100ax Let the house rent given by B = 100y given that, 100 (ax – y) = 20000-----(i) 100 (ax – a) = 8000-------(ii) Also given that, 100a/6 =100y a/6 = y----(iii) reducing equation (i) and (ii) we get, ax – y = 200 ------(iv) ax – a = 80------(v) putting the value y from equation (iii) in equation (iv) and solving the equation (iv) and (v) we get a – (a/6) = 120 or 5a/6 = 120 or a = 144 Therefore, salary of A = 800 × 144 = Rs. 115200

  5. EOption (e)

    None of these

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

4/19

Why this answer is correct

Let the time for which he travelled in rain be „a‟ hr and time for which he travelled when it stopped raining be „b‟ hr. Average speed = 15.2 km/hr Thus, n > 15.2 > n – 1 ∴ n > 15.2 or n < 16.2 As n is an integer, n = 16 km/hr. Now, X travels at a speed of 16 km/hr when its raining and at a speed of 15 km/hr when its not raining. Total distance travelled = 16a + 15b Total time taken = a + b = (16a + 15b)/(a + b) = 15.2 ⇒ 16a + 15b = 15.2a + 15.2b ⇒ 0.8a = 0.2b ⇒ b = 4a Total distance travelled = 16a + 60a = 76a Fraction of distance travelled in the rain = 16a/76a = 4/19

Direction:- In each of the following questions, a question is followed by information given in three statements. You have to study the question along with the statement and decide the information given in which of the statements is necessary to answer the question. Three friends, Jack, Kim and Larry started a partnership business investing money in the ratio of 4:2:1 respectively for a period of 3 years. What is the amount received by Jack as his share profit? I. Total amount invested in the business in Rs.35,000 II. Profit earned at the end of 3 years is (2/5)th of the total investment. III. The average amount of profit earned per year is Rs.7,000.

  1. AOption (a)

    I or II or III

  2. BOption (b)

    Either III only or I and II together

  3. COption (c)

    Any two of the three

  4. DOption (d)

    All I, II and III are required

  5. EOption (e)

    None of these

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Either III only or I and II together

Why this answer is correct

From I and II: Total profit after 3 years= 35,000 x (2/5) = Rs. 14,000 Jack‟s profit = 14000 x (4/7) = Rs. 8000. From III: Total profit after 3 years = 7000 x 3 = Rs. 21,000 Jack‟s profit = 21000 x (4/7) = Rs. 12000 Hence either III alone or I and II is sufficient to answer the question.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Speed of car C is 50 km/hr

Why this answer is correct

Let speed of car A and B is 4a km/hr and 5a km/hr respectively. Distance covered by car C = 375 km Then, distance covered by car A = 800 – distance covered by B & C = 800 – 375 –d = 425 - d Time taken by car C = 7.5 hours Speed of car C = 375/7.5 = 50 km/hr From option 1: Speed of car C is 60% more than that of speed of car B. Speed of car B = 45 x 100/160 = 29 km/hr (approx.) Then, speed of car A = 29 x 4/5 = 24 km/hr (approx.) As, we know found the speed of car A and B, we can also determine the distance covered by car B as well. Hence, this option alone is sufficient. From option 2: Speed of car C is 50 km/hr. From the above data, we cannot determine the distance covered by car B. Hence, this option alone is not sufficient. From option 3: Time taken by car B is 7 hours less than time taken by car A. Time taken by car A and B = 16 - 7.5 = 8.5 hours. Time taken by car A = (8.5 + 7)/2 = 7.75 hours. Time taken by car B = 8.5 - 7.75 = 0.75 hours. Then, 0.75 x 4a = 425 - d..(i) And, 7 x 5a = d...(ii) By dividing (i) by (ii), we will get the distance covered by B. Hence, this option alone is sufficient. From option 4: Speed of car A is 50 km/hr. Then, speed of car B = 50 x 5/4 = 62.5 km/hr. 16 - 7.5 = (425 - d)/50 + d/62.5. By the above equation, we can clearly see that we can find the value of distance. Hence, this option alone is sufficient. Hence by option 2 is not sufficient to find the answer.
