21118.In a election between two candidate 10% of votes were invalid winner got 70% of valid votes and was elected by a majority of 900 votes. find the total number of votes?
1500
900
2500
None of these
Explanation:

If total votes =x, then valid votes= 90% of x = 0.9x

Winner`s vote=70% of valid votes=0.7 $\times$ 0.9x=0.63x

So, loser`s vote=30% of valid vote=0.3 $\times$ 0.9x=0.27x

As difference in votes of these candidates=majority,

So, 0.63x -0.27x = 900

=> x = 900/0.36 = 2500.

21119.A gets Rs.33 when a sum of money was distributed among A, B and C in the ratio 3:2:5 What will be the sum of money?
Rs. 330
Rs. 100
Rs. 110
None of these
Explanation:

Given ratio: 3:2:5

Total units=3+2+5=10

A`s amount=33

Let the total amount = x

So according to the question,

=> (3/10) $\times$ x= 33

=> x= (33 $\times$ 10)/3

=> x=110.

21120.The sum of ages of Suresh and his father is 46 years.3 years back father`s age was 4 times Suresh`s age. Find present age of Suresh.
12 years
8 years
10 years
11 years
Explanation:

Let Suresh age be `S` years and his father`s age be `F` yrs.

Then, according to the question,

=> S + F = 46 ............(i)

=> F - 3 = 4(S-3) ..........(ii)

Solving both the equations, we get

S=11, F=35.

Hence, the present age of Suresh is 11 years.

21121.How many ways to arrange a word ORANGE in which vowels are not together?
586
456
576
None of these
Explanation:

The given word `ORANGE` has 6 letters and three vowels,

The number of ways in which vowel would be together i.e. (OAE)RNG = 3! $\times$ 4! = 144.

So, the number of ways to arrange letters in which vowels are not together = 6! - 144 = 720 - 144 = 576.

21122.The ages of A and B are in the ratio of 8:5. If the sum of their ages is 39 years, what will be the ratio of their ages after 9 years?
8:5
10:11
8:11
11:8
Explanation:

According to the question,

=> 8x+5x=39.

=> 13x=39

=> x=39/13=3

Thus, ages of A and B is 24 and 15 respectively.

After 9 yr., ages of A and B will be 33 and 24.

So, A: B::11:8.

21123.In an examination involving quantitative aptitude and logical reasoning, 65% examinees cleared quantitative aptitude test while 70% cleared logical reasoning test. If 50% examinees passed both the tests, then how many failed in both tests?

Explanation:

Total number of students who passed in atleast one exam=65+70-50=85

students who failed in both=100-85=15%.

21124.An exhibition was conducted for 4 weeks. The number of tickets sold in 2nd workweek was increased by 20% and increased by 16% in the 3rd workweek but decreased by 20% in the 4th workweek. Find the number of tickets sold in the beginning, if 1392 tickets were sold in the last week?
1250
1200
1050
1205
Explanation:

Let the number of ticket at the beginning be X.

Then, (X-20 $\times$ X)/100=1392

=> X =1740. (IN LAST WEEK)

Then, (X+16 $\times$ X)/100=1740 =>X=1500. (IN 3RD WEEK)

Also, (X+20 $\times$ X)/100=1500 =>X=1250. (IN 2ND WEEK).

So, total 1250 tickets sold at beginning.

21125.The average number of visitors of a library in the first 4 days of a week was 58. The average for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days was 60. If the number of visitors on the 1st and 5th days were in the ratio 7:8 then what is the number of visitors on the 5th day of the library?
58
60
56
64
Explanation:

If number of visitors on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th day are a, b, c, d & e respectively, then

=> a+b+c+d=58 $\times$ 4=232 ----(i)

=> b+c+d+e=60 $\times$ 4=240 ----(ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get:

=> e-a = 8 ---(iii)

Given, a/e=7/8 ---(iv)

So from (iii) & (iv), a=56, e=64.

21126.The sum of a number and its square is 1406. What is the number?
38
39
37
29
Explanation:

Let the number be x.

Then, x + $x^2$ = 1406

=> $x^2$ + x-1406 = 0

=> x = -1 + $-\sqrt(1-4 \times 1406)$/2

=> x = -1 + -75/2

=> x = -38 or x=37.

21127.A shopkeeper labels the price of article 15% above the cost price. If he allows Rs 51.20 discount on an article of Rs 1024. Find his profit percent.
9.72%
9.25 %
9 %
8.5%
Explanation:

According to the question,

If the label price = 115 then CP = 100.

So, label price = 1024 then the cost price is (100/115) $\times$ 1024 = 890.4347.

Now C.P(cost price) = 890.4347.

He allows 51.20 discount on S.P(selling price).

So, Original S. P= (1024 - 51.20) = 972.8.

So, Percentage Profit

=> [(S.P - C.P) $\times$ 100]/C. P

=> (972.8 - 890.4347)/890.4347 = 9.25%.
