Initial angle: South

= 180^\circ

. Clockwise rotation

= +90^\circ + 45^\circ = +135^\circ

= 6\text{ min late} - (-10\text{ min early}) = 16\text{ minutes} = \frac{16}{60}\text{ hours}

. Distance

D = \frac{S_1 \times S_2}{|S_1 - S_2|} \times \Delta t = \frac{18 \times 27}{27 - 18} \times \frac{16}{60} = \frac{486}{9} \times \frac{4}{15} = 54 \times \frac{4}{15} = \frac{216}{15} = 14.4\text{ km}

General Intelligence & ReasoningPartnership & Ratio

A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of the total profit goes to charity and A's share is Rs. 912, the total profit is:

💡Correct Answer: Option B (Rs. 1600)

Let total profit be

P

.
After 5% charity, distributable profit

= 0.95P

.
Ratio of A to B is

3 : 2

, so A's fraction is

\frac{3}{5}

:

\text{A's share} = \frac{3}{5} \times 0.95P = 0.57P = 912

P = \frac{912}{0.57} = \frac{91200}{57} = 1600\text{ Rs}.

Q86

Basic Electrical Concepts & DC CircuitsDepreciation & Percentages

A bike was bought for Rs 45,000 at a certain discount, and its value depreciates by 8% annually. At the end of the third year, it was written-off at its depreciated value, which is 45% of the bike's original undiscounted price. What is the original undiscounted price of the bike?

💡Correct Answer: Option B (77869)

Depreciated value after 3 years:

V_3 = 45000 \times (1 - 0.08)^3 = 45000 \times (0.92)^3 = 45000 \times 0.778688 = 35040.96\text{ Rs}

Given

V_3 = 0.45 \times P_{\text{original}}

:

P_{\text{original}} = \frac{35040.96}{0.45} \approx 77,868.8 \approx 77,869\text{ Rs}.

Quantitative Aptitude & MathematicsPartnership

Nirmal and Dharam started a business investing Rs. 9,000 and Rs. 12,000 respectively. After 6 months, Dharam withdrew half of his investment. If after a year, the total profit was Rs. 4,800, what is Dharam’s share in the profit?

💡Correct Answer: Option D (Rs. 2,400)

Calculate equivalent monthly capital investments:
- Nirmal:

9000 \times 12 = 108,000

- Dharam:

12000 \times 6 + 6000 \times 6 = 72,000 + 36,000 = 108,000

Ratio of profit sharing =

108,000 : 108,000 = 1 : 1

.
Dharam's share =

\frac{1}{2} \times 4800 = \text{Rs. } 2400
