Tea worth Rs 120 & 130 per Kg
are mixed with a third variety in
the ratio 1:1:2. If the mixture is
worth Rs 150 per Kg ,
the price of the third variety per
Kg will be?

6. 5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 6
SOLUTION
Let us assume that we use 1kg of first two
varieties and 2 kg of 3
rd
variety. Total is 4 kg.
So the total price is : 150*4 = 600
price paide for 1
st
two varieties : (120+130) =
250
price paid for 3
rd
variety : 600-250 = 350
Price per kg for 3
rd
variety : 175 per kg.

A bill for Rs.6000 is drawn on July 14 at 5 months . It is
discounted on 5th October at 10%.Find the bankers discount
true discount, bankers gain and the money that the holder of
the bill receives.
Due date of bill : 17 december
interest for period (17 dec – 5 oct) = 73 days
interst : 6000*73/365 * 10/100 = 120
this is banker's discount, the bank will give 5880
(money the holder will get )
formula for present value : 6000 * 100/ (100+rt) =
6000 *100/102 =5882.35
true discount is 117.65 answer

In one hour a boat goes 11 km
with the stream and 5 km against
the stream. The speed
of the boat in still water is?
The speed in still water is simple average of
the two speeds. So it is ½ ( 11+5) = 8 Km.
So the speed of boat in still water is 8 km per
hour.

9. 5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 9
A boat can travel with a speed of 13 kmph in
still water. if the speed of stream is
4 kmph,find the time taken by the boat to go
68 km downstream?
In downstream the speed of boat and stream
will add up. 13+4 = 17 km per hour.
Thus 68/17 = 4 hours.
The boat will take 4 ours to cover a distance of
68 km downstream. Answer

10. 5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 10
A boat takes 19 hrs for travelling downstream from
point A to point B. And coming back to a point C
midway between A and B. if the velocity of the sream
is 4 kmph . and the speed of the boat in still water is
14 kmph. what is the distence between
A and B?
The boat initially travelled at (14+4) = 18 km per hour.
Then it travelled at (14-4) = 10 km per hour. Let us
assume distance from A to B to be 2X. So it has
travelled :
2x/18 + x/10 = 19
38X = 3420
x= 3420/38 = 90 so distance = 180 ans.

11. 5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 11
A boat takes 90 min less to travel 36 miles
downstream then to travel the same
distence upstream. if the speed of the boat in
still water is 10 mph .
the speed of the stream is :
90 minute = 1.5 hours
Let us assume the speed of stream = x
36/ (10-x) – 36/ (10+x) = 1.5
so X = 2.

12. 5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 12
A can contains a mixture of two liquids A and B in
the ratio 7:5 when 9 liters of mixture are drawn off
and the can is filled with B,the ratio of A and B
becomes 7:9. How many liters of liquid A was
contained by the can initially?
Total quantity is same before and after = X. The only change is
in the ratio. 9 liters are taken out in ratio : 7:5, thus 9*7/12 =
5.25 is A and 3.75 is B. We can write it as :
5/12 X + (9-3.75) = 9/16 X
5/12X -9/16X = -5.25
-7/48X = -5.25 or X = 360
the original quantity of A = 360 * 7/12 = 210 answer

.One quantity of wheat at Rs 9.30 per Kg are mixed
with another quality at a certain rate in the ratio 8:7.
If the mixture so formed be worth Rs 10 per Kg
,what is the rate per Kg of the second quality of
wheat?
Let us assume that the two types of wheat is
mixed 8Kg and 7Kg respectively – total is 15
kg. Total cost : 15*10 = 150. Price paid for 1
st

type : 9.3*8 = 74.4
price paid for 2
nd
: 150 – 74.4 = 75.6
divide it by 7 to get price of 2
nd
: 75.6 / 7 =
10.8 answer

Tea worth Rs 120 and 130 per Kg are mixed with a
third variety in the ratio 1:1:2. If the mixture is
worth Rs 150 per Kg ,the price of the third variety
per Kg will be?
We have taken 1 kg of 1st, 1kg of 2
nd
and 2kg
of 3rd. Total = 4 kg. Thus total price = 150*4 =
600.
price paid on 1
st
and 2
nd
= 250.
price paid on 3
rd
: 600-250 = 350
price per kg = 350/2 = 175 per kg. Answer

A vessel is filled with liquid,3 parts of which are water
and 5 parts syrup. How much of the mixture must be
drawn off and replaced with water so that the mixture
may be half water and half syrup?
The ratio of water and syrup is 3:5. total is 8.
we want them to be equal : 4:4.
thus we want syrup to be 4. now syrup is 5. thus we
have to take 1 out of 5. Thus the ratio in which mixture
has to be drawn out is 1/5. thus 8 * 1/5 = 1.6 must be
drawn out, which in 3:5 is : .6 and 1
thus after drawing, the water and syrup is 2.4 and 4.
add 1.6 water again, and it is 4:4. so 1/5
th
of the mixture
should be drawn off. Answer.

The price of an article including the sales tax is Rs
616.The rate of sales tax is 10%,if the shopkeeper
has made a profit of 12%,then the cost price of the
article is?
Let us assume cost = 100
add profit(+12) = 112
add sales tax (11.2) = 123.2
thus 100/123.2 * 616 = cost
= 500 answer

How many times does the hands
of a clock make right angle?
Let us take from 6 am to 6 pm. At 6.15 it is
almost right angle (not exact), similarly at
about 6.45 also there is a right angle. Thus we
have 2 occasions between 6 and 7. We should
have 12 hours so 24 occasions when it can be
in right angle. But between 9 to 10 we have
only 1 such occasion (9.30), again from 3 to 4,
we have only one such case. Thus in 12 hours
we have only 22 right angles. Answer

28. 5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 28
Why is it so?
We can understand that by the time the minute
hand covers 55 minutes, there is one hour (60
minutes). Thus there is a gap of 5 minutes. We
can see that at times like 9 and 3 there is a
problem. 9 am is counted in 8 to 9 (8.25 and
8.59) to count right angle. And so is the case
with 3 pm). If it is asked what is the exact time
of right angle, use 60/11 as a formula to find
exact time.

29. 5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 29
How many times do we have a
straight angle between two hands
of a clock from 6 am to 6 pm in a

Ideally it should be 12 (but it will not be 12) .
start at 6, 7.05, 8.10, 9.15, 10.20, 11.25, 12.30,
1.35, 2.40, 3.45, 4.50, 5.55, 6.
thus we have 13 such occasions when we have
straight angle.

A watch which gains uniformly,is 5 min,slow
at 8 o'clock in the morning on sunday and it is
5 min.48 sec.fast at 8 p.m on the following
sunday. when was it correct?
The watch has actually covered 10 min. 48 sec.
In a span of 180 hours. We want to know
about the exact time when it had crossed only 5
minutes. So solve it using following formula :
5/ 10.8 (180) = 82.8
thus exact time is : 82/24 = 3 day + 10 hours
Wednesday : 6 pm + 48 minutes. Answer

31. 5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 31
Explanation
Actually 180 is hours (from 8am to 8pm on
next Sunday).
Actually 82.8 is in hours, to convert it into
days, we have devided 82/24, we get 3
rd
day +
10 hours.
Why did we use : 10. 8 : note: we converted
10.48 in decimal : 48/60 = .8 so it was 10.8

A sum of Rs. 1300 is divided between A,B,C,D
such that A's share divided by B's share = B's
share / C's share = C's share / D's share = 2/3
In such questions, start from Last – and take cube of the last number
to start with – assuming that value for the last variable. (cube , if
there are 3 iteration, if there are 4 iterations, take quadruple)
Let us start from D, assume it to be 27, now C is 18 now accordingly

In a certain code '13' means 'stop smoking' and '59' means 'injurious habit'
What is the meaning of '9' and '5' respectively in that code ?
I. '157' means 'stop Bad habit'.
II., '839'means 'smoking is injurious'. How do you get answer ?
Solution : solution can be obtained from any of
these two hints. If you take first hint, 59 and
157 have 5 as common number. The common
number denotes habit. Thus 5 means Habit.
If you take 2
nd
hint, 9 is common between 59
and 839 and the common word is injurious,

area of A. The volume of A is
found to be k% lower than the
volume of B. The value of k must
be

solution
Surface area of sphere : 4pi*r*r
if we assume smaller sphere of R=1 and larger
sphere of R=2, then our condition is fulfilled.
Now find volume of the two spheres :
4/3*pi*r*r*r so the ratio of the bigger and
smaller spheres are : 8:1 thus volume of A is
lower by : 7/8*100 = 85% anwer

Raju had to add two digits, but by mistake he
multiplied these two digits and got 56. He was again
asked to add these two digits, but this time he squared
up these numbers and found their difference, it was
15. what will you get if you find the correct answer ?
X* Y = 56
X^2 – Y^2 = 15
(x+Y) (X-Y) = 15
now try with options at this stage. Take factors of 56,
which are : 2*2*2*7
the factors could be : 4*14 or 8*7
so X = 8 and Y = 7, their difference is 1 and X +Y = 15,
so the correct answer is 15. answer

meters 12 minutes, but he can also swim with
the current in water same distance in 5
minutes. What is his speed in still water?
Formula = (Distance ) / (Time ) = speed

Based on the data given below,
find out sale of Raju TV store.
1990 was the first year, when Raju TV sold
100 TV. Every person who buys TV buys
again after 4 years. Raju sells 400, 600, 800
TV in 94, 98, 99 respectively. There was no
new customer in 2000, but the sale was simple
average of sale of 1990 and 1994. How many
TV did Raju TV sold in 1996.

222. 5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 222
solution....
Average of 1990 and 1994 = 250
no new customer in 2000, so 250 TV will be
sold as repeat customers.
Thus sale in 1996 = 250 TV.

A went to buy 2 shirts and 1 trousers. He carried Rs. 1000 with
him (just sufficient) . The ratio of prices of shirt and trouser is :
7:6. however, he purchased 2 trousers and 1 shirt and returned
back with Rs. 50 also. What will he pay, if he buys 2 shirts and
3 trousers?
2 Shirt + 1 Trousers = 1000
1 shirt + 2 trousers = 950
1 shirt – 1 trousers = 50, Now from 1

Mayank has some money in his pocket. He gives me half of this.
Now he spends 75% of the remaining on purchasing a shoe. He then
realises that he has to buy a T shirt also. So he spends 80% of the
remaining on a T-shirt. He is now thirsty and so spends 20% on a
mineral water bottle. He is left with Rs. 40. How much did he have
in the beginning?
Start from last, multiply each value by 100/ (100-what %
is spent) :
40*100/80 = 50
50*100/20 = 250
250*100/25 = 1000
1000*100/50 = 2000

A goes from X to Y at 10 am and will
reach at 12 and B goes from Y to X at 9
and will reach at 12. when will they cross
each other?
A travels for 2hours, B for 3 hours. Let us assume that the
distance is (2*3) = 6 KM. A travels @ 3 KM per hour and
B @ 2 km per hour. At 9 B starts, till 10 he covers 2 KM.
Now gap between A and B is 4 Km. Divide 4 by (2+3) =
4/5 = .8 , so they will meet at 10 + (.8 * 60) = 48 minutes.
So They wil meet at 10 + 48 min. Ans

A puts an item at 10% discount, before
doing this he had actually increased the
marked price by 10%, what is the change
in his revenue?
Let us assume that the earlier marked price is
100. add 10% = 110, now A reduces it by 10%
(10% discount on marked price) so he gets
110-11 = 99
thus there is 1% reduction in his revenue
or (10% * 10% = 1%)

A takes up 2 types of rice – one at 10 per
kg and another at 50 per kg, how should
he mix these to get a profit of 20% when
he sells them @ 30 per KG?
Sale price is 30, so cost should be 30*100/120 = 25
in order to get the ratio of mixture, let us deduct 25 from
10 and 50, we get : 15 and 25, now reverse these ratio :
25:15 or 5:3,
thus rice of the rate 10 should be 5/(5+3) = 5/8 and rice of
rate 50 should be 3/8 or their ratio should be 5:3 answer.

A and B have salary in the ratio of 10:11, but their savings are
in the ratio : 3:7, but now their salaries increase by 100% each.
If earlier their total savings was Rs. 2100, what is their new
savings, if they dont change their expenditure and they spend
equal amounts?
Their total savings : 2100, so A saves 3/10 *2100 = 630 and B
saves : 7/10 * 2100 = 1470
difference of their savings is : 840, so A should earn 840 *10 =
8400 and spend (8400-630) = 7770 and B should earn 9240
and save (9240-1470) = 7770. thus their new incomes are :
16800 and 18480 and new savings are : (16800 – 7770) = 9030
and (18480-7770) = 10710 answer

of 100 meters in 1000 meter race, still A
wins by 1 second or 1 meters. What is the
ratio of their speeds?
B takes 1 second to cover 1 meters, so his speed is 3600 meters
per KM or 3.6 km per hour. He has actually run 900 meters
only. He should take 900/3600*60 = 15 minutes
A has run 1000 meters in 14 minutes and 59 seconds. So his
speed is 40 KM per hour approx.
Thus the ratio of their speed is 40:36 or 10:9 answer
