Q. 59 Two cars A and B leave Delhi at 8:30 a.m. and at 9 a.m. for Shimla, respectively. They travel at the speeds of 40km/h and 50 km/h respectively. How many kilometres away from Delhi will the two cars be together?
(A) 45 km
(B) 100 km
(C) 200 km
(D) 5 km
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Cars A and B leave Delhi at 8:30 a.m. and at 9 a.m. for Shimla, respectively so,
Distance traveled by car A in 30 min = speed $$\times times = 40 \times 1/2 = 20 km
(30 min = 30/60 hr = 1/2 hr)
Relative speed of car B = 50 – 40 = 10 km/hr
Time taken by car B to cover 20 km = 20/10 = 2 hr
(Time = distance/speed)
Distance covered in 2 hr = 50 \times 2 = 100 km
∴ 100 kilometers away from Delhi will the two cars be together.

(A) 18
(B) 22
(C) 20
(D) 23
Answer: (B)

Selling price of 18 table fans = 11664
Loss = 10%
Cost price of 18 table fans = 11664 $$\times \frac{100}{90} = 12960
Cost price of 18 table fan = 12960/18 = 720
When profit is 10% then selling price = 17424
Cost price for n table fans = 17424 $$\times \frac{100}{110} = 15840
Number of fans which are sell = 15840/720 = 22

Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Principal(p) = 50000 Interest(i) = 4000 Time(t) = 2 years
Interest =
p×r×t 100
r = $$\frac{4000 \times 100}{50000 \times 2}
r = 4%
p(1 + r/100)t − p
Compound interest = = 50000(1 + 4/100)^2 – 50000$$ = 50000 \times (104/100) \times (104/100) – 50000 = 54080 – 50000
= 4080

(∵ (a − b)3 = a3 − b3 − 3a2b + 3ab2 )
p = 48
