Amit and Sujit together can complete an assignment of data entry in 5 days. Sujit’s speed is 80% of Amit’s speed and the total key depressions in the assignment are 576000. What is Amit’s speed in key depressions per hour if they work for 8 hours a day
Ratio between work done by Amit and Sujit = 100:80 = 5:4
Total work done by Amit = 576000×5/9
= 320000
Total working hours by Amit = 8×5 = 40 hour
∴ Amit's speed = 320000/40 = 8000
Area of a rectangle is 96 m2. When the length of the same rectangle increased by 6 m and the breadth decreased by 3 m, then the area of the rectangle decreases by 30 m2. What is the perimeter of a square whose sides are equal to the length of rectangle
Area of rectangle = 96
lb = 96
According to question, lb -(l+6)(b-3) = 30
lb-lb+3l-6b+18=30
3l-6b = 12
l-2b-4=0
l=2(b+2)
By solving equations (i) and (ii) we get,
l= 16m, b = 6m
The side of square = l=16m
∴ Perimeter of a square = 4×16 = 64m
A vessel contains a mixture of milk and water in the respective ratio 3:1. 32 litre of mixture was taken out and replaced with the same quantity of milk so that the resultant ratio between the quantities of milk and water in the mixture was 4 : 1 respectively. If 10 litre of mixture is again taken out from the vessel. What is the resultant quantity of water in the mixture ? (in litre)
Let the total quantity of mixture = x litre
According to question, 4/4+1=(x-32/x)
4x = 5x-160
x = 160 litre
The quantity of milk in mixture = 160 ×3/4
= 120 litre
The quantity of water in mixture = 160×¼= 40 litre
32 litre of mixture was taken out and replaced with the same quantity of milk.
Then, the quantity of milk in mixture
= 120-32×¾+32
= 120 -24+32
= 128 litre
The quantity of water in mixture = 40-32×¼ = 40-8
= 32 litre
New ratio of milk and water = 128:32 = 4:1
After 10 litres of mixture is again taken out from the vessel, The resultant quantity of water in the mixture = 32-10×1/5 = 32-2
= 30 litre

(iii) Few values are missing in the table (indicated by -). A candidate is expected to calculate the missing value, if it is required to answer the given questions, on the basis of the given data and information.
Batsman M faced equal number of balls in first 11 matches he played in the tournament and last 11 matches he played in the tournament. If his strike rate in first 11 matches and last 11 matches of the tournament are 83 and 71 respectively, what is the total number of balls faced by him in the tournament?
Let the number of balls faced by him in first 11 matches = x
Total runs scored in first 11 matches = 83x/100
Total runs scored in last 11 matches = 71x/100
According to question,
83x/100+71x/100 = 22×56
154x/100 = 22×56
x = 800
∴ Total number of balls faced by him in the tournament = 800+800 = 1600
In the tournament, the total number of balls faced by batsman N is 402 less than the total number of runs scored by him. What is the average number of runs scored by batsman N in the tournament?

Mr. X invested a certain amount in Debit and Equity Funds in the ratio of 4:5 respectively. At the end of one year, he earned a total dividend of 30% on his investment. After one year he reinvested the amount including dividend in the ratio of 6:7 in Debt and Equity Funds. If the amount reinvested in Equity Funds. If the amount reinvested in Equity Funds was INR 94500/-, what was the original amount invested in Equity Funds?
Let the common ratio be x.
The amount invested in Debit Funds = 4x
The amount invested in Equity Funds = 5x
After one year, Mr. X's total amount (including dividend)
= 4x ×130/100+5x×130/100 = 11.7x
Amount reinvested in Equity Funds = 11.7x ×7/13
According to question, 11.7x ×7/13 = 94500
6.3x = 94500
x = 15000
∴ Original amount invested in Equity Funds = 5×15000
= INR 75,000/-

Three years ago, Raj’s age was equal to the sum of the present ages of his one son and one daughter. Three years ago, the respective ratio between the ages of his daughter and his son that time was 12;13. If Raj’s wife is 5 years younger to him and her present age is twice the present age of their daughter. What is the present age of their son ? (in years)
Let the age of his daughter before three years = 12x
Age of his son before three years = 13x
Age of Raj before three years = (12x+3+13x+3) = 25x+6
Present age of Raj = 25x+6+3 = 25x+9
Present age of his wife = 2(12x+3)
= 24x+6
25x+9-24x-6=5
x+3 = 5
x=2
∴ The present age of Raj's son = 13×2+3 = 26+3
= 29 years

Boat A travels upstream from point X to point Y in 2 hours more than the time taken by Boat B to travel downstream from point Z to point Y. The distance between X and Y is 40 km and the distance between Y and Z is 24km. The speed of Boat A in still water is equal to the speed of Boat B downstream. What is the speed of Boat A in still water ? (Consider the speed of the current to be the same.)
Let the speed of the current = x km/h
Speed of boat B in still water = 10km/h
Speed of boat B in downstream = x+10
Speed boat A in still water = x+10
Speed of boat A in upstream = x+10-x
= 10km/h
40/10-24/10+x = 2
4-24/10+x = 2
24/10+x = 2
10+x = 12
x= 2
∴ Speed of boat A in still water = 10+2
= 12km/h
An equal sum is invested for seven years in scheme A offering simple interest at x% p.a. and in scheme B for two years offering compound interest at 10% p.a. (compounded annually). The interest earned from scheme A is thrice of the interest earned from scheme B. Had the ratio of interest been x – 4% simple interest per annum in scheme A, the difference in the interest earned from both the schemes would have been INR 700/-, What was the sum invested in each of the schemes?
Let the sum invested in each of the schemes = INR P
P×7×x/100 = 3p((1+10/100)2-1)
7x/100 = 3(21/100)
x = 9
Now, New rate = x-4 = 9-4 = 5%
P×7×5/100-P((1+10/100)2-1) = 700
7P/20-21P/100 = 700
35P-21P/100 = 700
14P = 700×100
P = INR 5,000/-

Directions (Next Ten Questions) : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Certain words/phrases are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Brazil does not look like an economy on the verge of overheating. The IMF expects it to shrink by 3% this year, and 1% next (The country has not suffered two straight years of contraction since 1930-31). 1.2 m jobs vanished in September, unemployment has reached 7.6%, up from 4.9% a year ago. Those still in work are finding it harder to make ends meet real (i.e. adjusted for inflation) wages are down 4.3% year-on-year. Despite the weak economy, inflation is nudging double digits. The central bank recently conceded that it will miss its 4.5% inflation target next year. Markets don’t expect it to be met before 2019. If fast-rising prices are simply a passing effect of the Brazilian real (R$) recent fall, which has pushed up the cost of imported goods, then they are not too troubling. But some ‘economists have a more alarming explanation: that Brazil’s budgetary woes are so extreme that they have undermined the central bank’s power to flight inflation—a phenomenon known as fiscal dominance.
The immediate causes of Brazil’s troubles are external: The weak world economy, and China’s faltering appetite for oil and iron ore in particular, have enfeebled both exports and investment. But much of the country’s pain is self-inflicted. The president could have used the commodity windfall from the first term in 2011-14 to trim bloated state, which swallows 36% of GDP in taxes despite offering few decent public services in return. Instead handouts, subsidized loans and costly tax breaks for favoured industries were splurged on. These fuelled a consumption boom, and with it inflation, while hiding the economy’s underlying weaknesses: thick red tape, impenetrable taxes, an unskilled workforce and shoddy infrastructure. The government’s profligacy also left the public finances in tatters. The primary balance (before interest payments) went from a surplus of 3.1% of GDP IN 2011 to a forecast deficit of 0.9% this year. In the same period public debt has swollen to 65% of GDP, an increase of 13 percentage points. That is lower than in many rich countries, but Brazil pays much higher interest on its debt. It will spend 8.5% of GDP this year servicing it, more than any other big country. In September it lost its investment-grade credit rating.
Stagflation of the sort Brazil is experiencing presents central bankers with a dilemma. Raising interest rates to quell inflation might push the economy deeper into recession; lowering them to foster growth might send inflation spiralling out of control. Between October last year and July this year, the country’s rate-setters seemed to prioritise price stability, raising the benchmark Selic rate by three percentage points, to 14.25%, where it remains. The alluring real rates of almost 5% ought to have made the Brazilian Real attractive to investors. Instead, the currency has weakened and rising inflation despite higher interest rates, combined with a doubling of debt-servicing costs in the past three years has led to the diagnosis of fiscal dominance. The cost of servicing Brazil’s debts has become so high, that ates have to be set to keep it manageable rather than to rein in prices. That, in turn, leads to a vicious circle of a falling currency and rising inflation. There is no question, however, that Brazilian monetary policy is at best hobbled. State-owned banks have extended nearly half the country’s credit at low, subsidized rates that bear little relation to the Selic—at a cost of kmore than 40 billion R$ ($ 10 billion) a year to the taxpayer. As private banks have cut lending in the past year, public ones have continued to expand their loan books. All this hampers monetary policy and if left unchecked, this spurt of lending may itself threaten price stability.
