Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 1

Ram is three times as old as Mohan. Lokesh was twice as old as Ram four years ago. In four year’s time Ram will be 31. What is the difference between present ages of Mohan and Lokesh? 

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 1

Let Ram’s age = x, Mohan’s age = y, Lokesh’s age = z
∴ x = 3y …(1)
and z – 4 = 2 (x – 4)
z = 2x – 8 + 4 = 2x – 4 …(2)
x + 4 = 31 ⇒ x = 27
3y = 27 ⇒ y = 9
Using eq. (2) z = 2x – 4 = 2 × 27 – 4 = 50
Hence z – y = 50 – 9 = 41

Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 2

Rajesh got twice as many sums wrong as he got right. If he attempted 84 sums in all. How many sums did he solve correctly? 

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 2

Let Rajesh solves x sums correctly
Right sums = x, wrong sums = 2x
∴ x + 2x = 84
⇒ 3x = 84 
⇒ x = 28

Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 3

Punam says, “If you reverse my own age, the figure represent my husband’s age. He is of course senior to me and the difference between our ages is one - eleventh of their sum. What is the age of Punam?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 3

Let Punam’s age be 10x + y
∴ Her husband’s age = 10y + x
Now
 10y + x – 10x – y = 1/11 (10y + x + 10x + y)
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 9y – 9x = x + y
⇒ 9y – y = x + 9x
⇒ 8y = 10x
⇒ 
If y = 5, then x = 4
Hence, Punam’s age = 10 × 4 + 5 = 45 years.

Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 4

A total of 324 coins of 20 paise & 25 paise make a sum of Rs. 71. What is the number of 25 paise coin?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 4

Let the number of 25 paise coins be x
No. of 20 paise coins = 324 – x
∴ 0.20 (324 – x) + 0.25 × x = 71 
⇒ 64.8 – 0.20x + 0.25x = 71 
⇒ 0.05x = 71 – 64.8 
⇒ 

Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 5

In a family, a couple has a son and a daughter. The age of the father is three times that of his daughter and the age of son is half that of his mother. The wife is 9 years younger than her husband and the brother is seven years older than his sister. What is the age of the mother?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 5

Let the daughter’s age be x
Father’s age = 3x
Mother’s age = 3x – 9
Son’s age = x + 7
∴  
⇒ 2x + 14 = 3x – 9 ⇒ x = 23
Mother’s age = 3x – 9 = 3 × 23 – 9 = 60 years

Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 6

In a group of cows and hens, the number of legs are 14 more than twice the number of heads. What is the number of cows?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 6

Let the number of cows be x & no. of hens be y
As per the question,
4x + 2y = 2 (x + y) + 14
⇒ 4x + 2y = 2x + 2y + 14 
⇒ 2x = 14 ⇒ x = 7 

Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 7

If few sweets, have to be distributed. If I keep 2, 3, or 4 in a pack, I am left with one sweet. If I keep 5 in a pack I am left with none. What is the minimum number of sweets I have to pack and distribute?

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 7

If I keep 2 or 3 or 4 in a pack, 
LCM of 2, 3, and 4 = 12
Then, the minimum number of sweets could be 12 + 1 = 13 so that 1 sweet left after packing.
But, if I keep 5 in a pack, I am left with none, (13 is not divisible by 5) then we have to take, 
12 × 2 = 24 
We have to add one so that 1 sweet left after packing in 2 or 3 or 4 groups and when in group of 5 then no sweets left. Therefore,
Total minimum sweets = 24 + 1 = 25 (25 is divisible by 5).
Hence, 25 is the correct answer.

Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 8

In a city 40% of adults are illiterate while 85% of the children are literate. If the ratio of the adults to that of the children is 2 : 3, what percent of the population is litereted.

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 8

Let the no. of adults = 2x
No. of children = 3x
Literate population
= (100 – 40)% of 2x + 85% of 3x
= 60% of 2x + 85% of 3x


Literate percent = 

Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 9

A says, “If B gives me Rs. 40, he well have half as much as C, but if C gives me Rs. 40, then three of us will all have the same amount. What is the total amount of money that A, B & C have between them? 

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 9

 Given B – 40 = ⇒ 2B – 80 = C …(1) 
and C – 40 = B …(2) 
and C – 40 = A + 40 …(3) 
From (1) & (2) 

C = B + 40 = 120 + 40 = 160 
160 – 40 = A + 40 ⇒ A = 160 – 80 = 80 
7 + B + C = 80 + 120 + 160 = 360

Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 10

Three bells ring after a regular interval of 36 seconds, 40 seconds and 48 seconds respectively. If the three bells start ringing at same time, then after how much time they will ring together? 

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 10

To find the time in which all the bells ring together, we need to find the LCM of 36, 40, 48
Prime factorization of 36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
Prime factorization of 40 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
Prime factorization of 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
Hence, LCM of  36, 40, 48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 = 720 seconds.
∴ 

Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 11

If a number is increased by 10% and then it is decreased by 10% then the value of number will 

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 11

Let the number be 100
100 + 10% of 100 = 100 + 10 = 110
and 110 – 10% of 110 = 100 – 
= 110 – 11 = 99 

Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 12

The cost price of 11 objects is Rs. 10 and the selling price of 10 objects is Rs. 11. What is the gain or loss percentage in whole transaction? 

Detailed Solution for Olympiad Test: Arithmetical Reasoning - Question 12

Cost price of 11 objects = Rs. 10
Cost price of 1 object = Rs. 
Selling price of 10 objects = Rs. 11
Selling price of 1 object = Rs. 
∴ Gain percent =

⇒ 200x – 150x = 4 × 150 × 200 
⇒
