(A) 1/7
(B) 11/14
(C) 5/14
(D) 11/28
(E) 13/28
Rationale: 400*(90/100)*(95 / 100) = 342
The answer: (C)

Options:
(A) 280
(B) 290
(C) Rs.342
(D) 250
(E) 253
Reasoning: We have, M1D1H1 = M2D2H2
3*120*12 = M2*120*9
M2 = 3*120*12/120*9 = 4

Question: 3 workers transfer a tool weighing 120kg in 12 seconds. How many men are required to transfer it in 9 seconds?
Options:
(A) 4
(B) 5
(C) 6
(D) 7
(E) 8
Rationale: Here, l = 7 and m = 14
Therefore, first number = l/m x 100% of second number = 7/14 x 100% of second number = 50% of second number
The answer: (D)
Question: If the given two numbers are respectively 7% and 14% of a third number, then what percentage is the first of the second ?
Options:
(A) 20%
(B) 25%
(C) 18%
(D) 50%
(E) none of these
Reasoning: Cost price of article = 48$
% of overhead cost = 10
Net profit = 12 $
We need to calculate % markup
Net profit as % of cost price = (12/48)*100 = 25%
Total markup should be = 25 + 10 = 35%
Ans: (C)
Question: The purchase price of an article is $48. In order to include 10% of cost for overhead and to provide $12 of net profit, the markup should be
Options:
(A) 15%
(B) 25%
(C) 35%
(D) 40%
(E) 45%
Reasoning: B's 1 day work = (1/12 - 1/20) = 1/30
Now, (A + B)'s 1 day work = (1/20 + 1/60) = 1/15
So, A and B together will complete the work in 15 days.
Ans: (C)

Question: A and B together can complete a work in 12 days. A alone can complete it in 20 days. If B does the work only for half a day daily, then in how many days A and B together will complete the work?
Options:
(A) 11 days
(B) 77 days
(C) 15 days
(D) 18 days
(E) 19 days
