Past Year Paper - Mechanical Engineering GATE : 2022 (Session - 1) - Question 2

The average of the monthly salaries of M, N and S is Rs. 4000. The average of the monthly salaries of N, S and P is Rs. 5000. The monthly salary of P is Rs. 6000.
Q. What is the monthly salary of M as a percentage of the monthly salary of P?

Detailed Solution for Past Year Paper - Mechanical Engineering GATE : 2022 (Session - 1) - Question 2

Given,
Average salary of M,N,S = Rs. 4000
Average salary of N,S,P = Rs 5000
Monthly salary of P = Rs. 6000
M + N+ S / 3 = 4000
N +S + P / 3 = 5000
M + N + S = 12000
N + S + P = 15000
Monthly salary of P = 6000
N + S + 6000 = 15000
N + S =  9000
M + 9000 = 12000
M = 3000
Percentage salary of M with respect to
= 3000 / 6000 x 100%
= 50%
Hence, the correct option is (A).

Past Year Paper - Mechanical Engineering GATE : 2022 (Session - 1) - Question 3

A person travelled 80 km in 6 hours. If the person travelled the first part with a uniform speed of 10 kmph and the remaining part with a uniform speed of 18 kmph.
Q. What percentage of the total distance is travelled at a uniform speed of 10 kmph?

Detailed Solution for Past Year Paper - Mechanical Engineering GATE : 2022 (Session - 1) - Question 3

Given,
Total distance covered by a person = 80 km
Total time taken by that person = 6 hours
Speed of first part of journey = 10 kmph
Speed of second part of journey = 18 kmph
Assume, time taken for 1st part = t hrs
Time taken for 2nd part = (6 - t) hrs
Distance = Speed ´ Time
80 = 10t +18(6 -t) 80
= 10t +108 - 8t
-28 = -8t t
= 3.5 hrs
Distance travelled with speed 10 kmph
10 x 3.5= 35 km
Percentage of the total distance is
Travelled at a uniform speed of 10 kmph
= 35 / 80 x 100
= 43.75%
Hence, the correct option is (C).
