A. 10 % loss
B. 10 % profit
C. 15 % profit
D. 15 % loss
Solutions
Cost Price(C.P.) of 70 kg wheat = Rs. 175
Selling price of 70 kg wheat = 70 × 2.75 = Rs. 192.50
Profit = 192.50 – 175 = Rs. 17.50
% profit = 17.50/175 × 100 = 10%

A. 5%
B. 12%
C. 10%
D. 11%
Solutions
Interest of 3 years = 12005 – 9800 = Rs 2205
One year interest = Rs 735
Principal = 9800 – 735 x 5 = Rs. 6125
So,
735 = 6125×1×x / 100
x = 12%
25. The simple interest on a sum of money at some rate for 3 years is Rs. 225 and the compound interest on the same sum of money and at the same rate for 2 years is Rs. 153. Find the sum.
A. Rs. 1875
B. Rs. 1775
C. Rs. 1975
D. Rs. 2075
Solutions
Let sum is Rs. 100
Given 3 years Simple Interest (S.I.) =Rs. 225
1 year S.I. =Rs. 75
So, for Rs. 100
So, x% × 75 = 3
x= 4%
Now,
4 % of P= 75
P= 75×100 / 4
P= Rs. 1875
26. Find the sum of even divisors of 96 and odd divisors of 3600.
A. 639
B. 651
C. 735
D. 589
Solutions
96 = 25 × 31
Sum of even divisors = (21 + 22 + 23 + 24 + 25) (30 + 31) = 62 × 4 = 248
3600 = 24 × 52 × 32
Sum of odd divisors = (50 + 51 + 52) (30 + 31 + 32) = 13 × 31 = 403
Required sum = 248 + 403 = 651

X supplies whole of the capital amounting to Rs. 45000 with the condition that the profit are to be equally distributed and that Y pays X interest on half of the capital at 10% per annum, but receives, Rs. 120 per month for carrying on the concern. When Y’s income is 1/2 of X’s income, their total yearly profit is:-
A. Rs. 9810
B. Rs. 9180
C. Rs. 9801
D. Rs. 8901
Solutions
Rs 1440
Amount received by X as interest = 45000/2 × 10/100 = Rs 2250
Let total profit = 2x + 1440 [x is the share of profit of X and Y]
Total income of X = x + 2250
Total income of Y= x + 1440 – 2250
= x – 810
2(x – 810) = x + 2250
2x – 1620 = x + 2250
x = 3870
Total profit = 2 × 3870 + 1440 = Rs 9180

86. Which of the following has maximum number of atoms?
A. 18 g of Water
B. 16 g of O2
C. 44 g of O2
D. 16 g of CH4
Solutions
Number of atoms can be calculated by multiplying the number of moles (n) of a substance with the Avogadro’s number (NA).
No of moles of (n) = Mass (m)/Molar mass (M)
Here mass (m) of CH4 = 16g
And Molar mass (M) of CH4 = 1 × 12 (Atomic mass of Carbon) + 4 × 1 (Atomic mass of Hydrogen) = 16
No of moles in 16 g of CH4 = 16 ÷ 16 = 1
Similarly, no of moles in 18 g of water (H2O) = 1 × 16 (Atomic mass of Oxygen) + 2 × 1 (Atomic mass of Hydrogen) = 18
18 ÷ 18 = 1
No of moles in 16 g of O2 = 2 × 16 (Atomic mass of Oxygen) = 16 ÷ 32 = 0.5
No of moles in 44 g of O2 = 44 ÷ 32 = 1.375
Since the no of moles in 44 g of O2 is highest among the four options therefore, the no of atoms in 44g of O2 will be highest.
