UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 1 (CSAT) - Question 2

The simple interest and rate for the two amounts are the same. The first amount is for a period of 3 years and the second is for a period of 4 years. What is the principal amount, let's say the principal amount is up to Rs. 21000?

Detailed Solution for UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 1 (CSAT) - Question 2

Calculation:

Let x be the first principle amount for period 3 years and 21000 - x be the second principle amount for period 4 years.

Let the rate of interest be R.

SI for 3 year period = x × R × 3

SI for 4 year period = (21000- x) × R × 4

ATQ: both SI's are the same

⇒ x × R × 3 = (21000- x) × R × 4

⇒ 3x = 84000 - 4x

⇒ 7x = 84000

⇒ x = 12000

⇒ Second principle amount is 21000 - 12000 = 9000

Hence, the principle is Rs. 12000 and Rs. 9000.

A man divides ₹ 12,900 among 5 sons, 4 daughters and 2 nephews. If each daughter receives four times as much as each nephew, and each son receives five times as much as each nephew, how much does each daughter receive?
Detailed Solution for UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 1 (CSAT) - Question 5

Given:

Total amount distributed = Rs. 12,900

Number of sons = 5, Number of daughters = 4, and Number of nephews = 2

Calculation:

According to the question,

5s + 4d + 2n = 12900

Now, Each daughter receives four times as much as each nephew. And Each son receives five times as much as each nephew. 

⇒ s : d : n = 5 : 4 : 1

Now, (25 + 16 + 2) = 12900

⇒ 43 = 12900

⇒ 1 = 300

Each daughter received money = 4d = 4 × 300 = 1200

∴ Each daughter received money is Rs 1200

Salaries of Rohan and Soham are in the ratio 2 ∶ 3. If the salary of each is increased by ₹ 2,000, the new ratio becomes 40 ∶ 57. What is Soham's present salary ?
Detailed Solution for UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 1 (CSAT) - Question 10

Given:

Ratio of salaries of Rohan and Soham = 2 : 3.

Increased salary = 2000 each.

New ratio of Ravi and Sumit = 40 : 57.

Calculation:

Let the present salaries of Rohan and Soham be Rs.2x and Rs.3x respectively.

Then, (2x + 2000)/(3x + 2000) = 40/57

⇒ 57(2x + 2000) = 40(3x + 2000)

⇒ 114x + 114000 = 120x + 80000

⇒ 6x = 34000

⇒ x = 34000/6

The present salaries Soham = Rs.3x = 3 × 34000/6 = Rs. 17000

UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 1 (CSAT) - Question 14

The New Delhi-Howrah Rajdhani Express leaves New Delhi at 16: 50 hours on 25th November 2022 and reaches Howrah at 12: 05 hours on 26th November 2022. If the average speed of the train is 80 km per hour, what is the distance between New Delhi and Howrah?

Detailed Solution for UPPSC Prelims (GS 2) Mock Test - 1 (CSAT) - Question 14

To calculate the distance between New Delhi and Howrah, we can use the formula: Distance = Speed x Time

We know the average speed of the train is 80 km/hour. To calculate the time taken by the train to travel from New Delhi to Howrah, we can subtract the departure time from the arrival time: Time = Arrival Time - Departure Time

Time = 12:05 on 26th November 2022 - 16:50 on 25th November 2022 = 19 hours and 15 minutes

Now, we can substitute the values in the formula: Distance = Speed x Time

Distance = 80 km/hour x 19.25 hours = 1540 km (approx.)
