1.A man has Rs. 480 in the denominations of one-rupee notes, five-rupee notes and ten-rupee notes. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has ?

Answer:Option 1

Explanation:

Solution:
Let number of notes of each denomination be x.

⇒ 16x = 480
x = 30.
Hence, total number of notes = 3x = 90.

2.There are two examinations rooms A and B. If 10 students are sent from A to B, then the number of students in each room is the same. If 20 candidates are sent from B to A, then the number of students in A is double the number of students in B. The number of students in room A is:

Answer:Option 1

Explanation:

Solution:
Let the number of students in rooms A and B be x and y respectively.
Then, x - 10 = y + 10     ⇒     x - y = 20 .... (i)
        and x + 20 = 2(y - 20)     ⇒     x - 2y = -60 .... (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 100 , y = 80.
∴ The required answer A = 100.

9.In a regular week, there are 5 working days and for each day, the working hours are 8. A man gets Rs. 2.40 per hour for regular work and Rs. 3.20 per hours for overtime. If he earns Rs. 432 in 4 weeks, then how many hours does he work for ?

Answer:Option 1

Explanation:

Solution:
Suppose the man works overtime for x hours.
Now, working hours in 4 weeks = (5 * 8 * 4) = 160.
∴ 160 * 2.40 + x * 3.20 = 432
⇒ 3.20x = 432 - 384 = 48
x = 15.
Hence, total hours of work = (160 + 15) = 175.

10.Free notebooks were distributed equally among children of a class. The number of notebooks each child got was one-eighth of the number of children. Had the number of children been half, each child would have got 16 notebooks. Total how many notebooks were distributed ?

Answer:Option 1

Explanation:

Solution:
Explaination 1
Let number of children=nThen, number of books each child will get =n8Total books distributed=n×n8=n28If the number children=n2,number of books each child will get=16Total books distributed =n2×16=8n n28=8nn8=8n=64Total number of books distributed=8n=8×64=512

Explaination 2
If number of children was half, each child would have got 16 books.
Therefore, actually each child got
162
= 8 Books And the number of children is 8 × 8 = 64
Hence, total number of books distributed = 64 × 8 = 512

Explaination 3
Let number of children
=n

Then, number of books each child will get
=n8

If the number children
=n2
,
number of books each child will get
=16

More children, less books (indirect proportion). Therefore,
n:n2=16:n8n28=8nn8=8n=8

Therefore, total number of books distributed
=8n = 8×64 = 512
