RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 3) - Question 3

Ms. Alina borrowed Rs. 650 at 6% per annum simple interest. What amount will she pay to clear her debt after 4 years?

Detailed Solution for RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 3) - Question 3

We know the formula for simple interest -
SI = (P × T × R)/100
Where,
SI = Simple interest
P = Principal
R = Rate of interest
T = Time period
SI = (650 × 4 × 6)/100 = Rs. 156
Amount = P + SI = 650 + 156 = Rs .806
∴ Amount she pays to clear her debt after 4 years = Rs. 806

RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 3) - Question 5

A telephone bill costs Rs. 13 for 19 minutes. What is the cost in rupees for 15 minutes 50 seconds? (Rounded to one decimal).

Detailed Solution for RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 3) - Question 5

We know that,

1 minute = 60 seconds
⇒ 19 minutes = 19 × 60 = 1140 seconds

Cost of telephone bill for 19 minutes = Rs. 13
⇒ Cost of telephone bill for 1 second = Rs. (13/1140)

Cost of telephone bill for 15 minutes 50 seconds = 950 × (13/1140)   (∵ 15 min 50 sec = 950 sec)

⇒ Cost of telephone bill for 15 minutes 50 seconds = 65/6 = Rs. 10.8

∴ Cost of telephone bill for 15 minutes 50 seconds = Rs. 10.8

RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 3) - Question 7

Manoj is 2 times efficient than Anurag, together they can complete the work in 22 days. Anurag alone can complete the work in how many days?

Detailed Solution for RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 3) - Question 7

Let Anurag alone can do a piece of work in ‘x’ days.
⇒ Work done by Anurag in one day = 1/x
⇒ Work done by Manoj in one day = 2/x 
Work done by Manoj and Anurag together in one day = 2/x + 1/x = 3/x
⇒ Time taken by Manoj and Anurag together to complete the work = 1/(3/x) = x/3
⇒ 22 = x/3
⇒ x = 66 days
∴ Time taken by Anurag alone to complete the work = 66 days

RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 3) - Question 14

Which of the following is a tsunami warning sign?

Detailed Solution for RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 3) - Question 14

As the coastal ocean waters recede from the shore, it often leaves large portions of the sea floor exposed. Individuals who do not recognize this as a common precursor to tsunami waves often find themselves gravitating toward the exposed shore. Unfortunately, they often perished as they rush to gather fish left high and dry on the exposed beach or to view never before seen rock and reef formations —  only to be hit moments later by the incoming wall of water.
Experts believe that a receding ocean may give individuals more familiar with “nature’s tsunami warning signal” as much as a five minute warning to evacuate the area. This cycle may be repeated several times as successive wave crests arrive five minutes to an hour apart.

Mr. Akshar sold a bus for Rs. 20,400 with a loss of 15%. At what price should the bus be sold to get a profit of 15%?

Detailed Solution for RRB NTPC Previous Year Paper Tier-I 2016 (Set 3) - Question 28

Let the cost price of the bus be Rs. x.

Selling price (S.P.) of the bus = x – (15% of x) = 0.85x       (∵ S.P. = C.P. – Loss)

⇒ 20400 = 0.85x
⇒ x = 20400/0.85 = Rs. 24,000

If profit = 15%:

S.P. of the bus = 24000 + (15% of 24000)                (∵ S.P. = C.P. + Profit)

⇒ S.P. of the bus = 24000 + ((15/100) × 24000) = 24000 + 3600 = Rs. 27,600

∴ S.P. of the bus to get a profit of 15% = Rs. 27,600
