In a certain code language, 'BOOK' is written as '40811'. How is 'DESK' written in that code language?

  1. 30511

  2. 40512

  3. 30512

  4. 40511


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In the given code language, each letter is assigned a numerical value based on its position in the alphabet. For example, 'B' is assigned 2, 'O' is assigned 15, and so on. To encode 'DESK', we add the numerical values of each letter: 4 (D) + 5 (E) + 19 (S) + 11 (K) = 39. Therefore, 'DESK' is written as '30512' in that code language.

A train leaves Mumbai at 10:00 AM and travels at a speed of 60 km/h. Another train leaves Delhi at 11:00 AM and travels towards Mumbai at a speed of 75 km/h. If the distance between Mumbai and Delhi is 1350 km, at what time will the two trains meet?

  1. 3:30 PM

  2. 4:00 PM

  3. 4:30 PM

  4. 5:00 PM


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

To find the time at which the two trains meet, we need to calculate the total time taken by both trains to cover the distance between Mumbai and Delhi. The first train travels for 1 hour before the second train leaves Delhi. Therefore, the first train covers a distance of 60 km in 1 hour. The second train travels for 5 hours (from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM) and covers a distance of 75 km/h * 5 h = 375 km. The total distance covered by both trains is 60 km + 375 km = 435 km. Since the total distance between Mumbai and Delhi is 1350 km, the two trains will meet when they have covered 435 km. Therefore, the two trains will meet at 4:00 PM.

A company has 100 employees, of which 60% are men and 40% are women. If 20% of the men and 30% of the women leave the company, what percentage of the remaining employees are women?

  1. 36%

  2. 40%

  3. 44%

  4. 48%


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Initially, there are 60 men and 40 women in the company. After 20% of the men and 30% of the women leave, the number of men remaining is 60 - (20% of 60) = 48, and the number of women remaining is 40 - (30% of 40) = 28. Therefore, the total number of remaining employees is 48 + 28 = 76. The percentage of women among the remaining employees is (28 / 76) * 100 = 44%.

A shopkeeper sells an article at a profit of 20%. If he had sold it for (\frac{4}{5}) of the selling price, he would have incurred a loss of 4%. At what price did he sell the article?

  1. (\frac{100}{120}) of the cost price

  2. (\frac{120}{100}) of the cost price

  3. (\frac{110}{100}) of the cost price

  4. (\frac{100}{110}) of the cost price


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let the cost price of the article be (x). Selling price at a profit of 20% = (x + 20\% of x = \frac{6}{5}x). Selling price at a loss of 4% = (x - 4\% of x = \frac{24}{25}x). Equating the two selling prices, we get (\frac{6}{5}x = \frac{24}{25}x). Solving for (x), we get (x = \frac{120}{100}) of the cost price.

A train crosses a 100-meter long platform in 10 seconds and a 200-meter long bridge in 30 seconds. What is the speed of the train in km/h?

  1. 72 km/h

  2. 80 km/h

  3. 88 km/h

  4. 96 km/h


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time. To find the speed of the train, we need to convert the distances and times to the same units. Converting 100 meters to kilometers: 100 meters = 0.1 kilometers. Converting 200 meters to kilometers: 200 meters = 0.2 kilometers. Converting 10 seconds to hours: 10 seconds = 10/3600 hours = 1/360 hours. Converting 30 seconds to hours: 30 seconds = 30/3600 hours = 1/120 hours. Speed of the train when crossing the platform = 0.1 km / (1/360) h = 36 km/h. Speed of the train when crossing the bridge = 0.2 km / (1/120) h = 24 km/h. Average speed of the train = (36 km/h + 24 km/h) / 2 = 30 km/h. Converting 30 km/h to km/h: 30 km/h = 30 * 18/5 km/h = 88 km/h.

A sum of money becomes (\frac{13}{12}) of itself in 2 years at a certain rate of simple interest. What is the rate of interest per annum?

  1. 6%

  2. 8%

  3. 10%

  4. 12%


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Simple Interest = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100. Let the principal be (P) and the rate of interest be (R\%). In 2 years, the amount becomes (\frac{13}{12}P). Therefore, (\frac{13}{12}P = P + (P * R * 2) / 100). Simplifying the equation, we get (R = 12\%.

A company has a total of 1200 employees, of which 60% are male and 40% are female. If 20% of the male employees and 30% of the female employees leave the company, how many employees are left in the company?

  1. 864

  2. 888

  3. 912

  4. 936


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Initially, there are 60% * 1200 = 720 male employees and 40% * 1200 = 480 female employees. After 20% of the male employees and 30% of the female employees leave, the number of male employees remaining is 720 - (20% of 720) = 576, and the number of female employees remaining is 480 - (30% of 480) = 336. Therefore, the total number of employees remaining is 576 + 336 = 888.

A train leaves Mumbai at 10:00 AM and travels towards Delhi at a speed of 60 km/h. Another train leaves Delhi at 11:00 AM and travels towards Mumbai at a speed of 75 km/h. If the distance between Mumbai and Delhi is 1350 km, at what time will the two trains meet?

  1. 3:30 PM

  2. 4:00 PM

  3. 4:30 PM

  4. 5:00 PM

To find the time at which the two trains meet, we need to calculate the total time taken by both trains to cover the distance between Mumbai and Delhi. The first train travels for 1 hour before the second train leaves Delhi. Therefore, the first train covers a distance of 60 km in 1 hour. The second train travels for 5 hours (from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM) and covers a distance of 75 km/h * 5 h = 375 km. The total distance covered by both trains is 60 km + 375 km = 435 km. Since the total distance between Mumbai and Delhi is 1350 km, the two trains will meet when they have covered 435 km. Therefore, the two trains will meet at 4:00 PM.

  1. (\frac{100}{120}) of the cost price

  2. (\frac{120}{100}) of the cost price

  3. (\frac{110}{100}) of the cost price

  4. (\frac{100}{110}) of the cost price


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let the cost price of the article be (x). Selling price at a profit of 20% = (x + 20\% of x = \frac{6}{5}x). Selling price at a loss of 4% = (x - 4\% of x = \frac{24}{25}x). Equating the two selling prices, we get (\frac{6}{5}x = \frac{24}{25}x). Solving for (x), we get (x = \frac{120}{100}) of the cost price.

Converting 30 km/h to km/h: 30 km/h = 30 * 18/5 km/h = 88 km/h.
