2245. A shopkeeper mixes two varieties of pulses worth Rs. 50/kg and Rs. 75/kg to get a mixture worth Rs. 65/kg. In what ratio should they be mixed?

A. 1:2

B. 2:3

C. 2:1

D. 3:2

Using the rule of alligation: (75 - 65) : (65 - 50) = 10 : 15 = 2 : 3. The ratio of cheaper to dearer is 3:2, so the answer is 2:1 for dearer to cheaper.

A. 4% decrease

B. 4% increase

C. No change

D. 2% decrease

Let original price = 100. After 20% increase, price = 120. After 20% decrease, price = 120 × 0.8 = 96. Net change = (96 - 100)/100 × 100 = -4%.

C. 62.5 km/h

D. 65 km/h

Total distance = 275 + 315 = 590 km. Time for first part = 275/50 = 5.5 hours; second part = 315/70 = 4.5 hours. Total time = 5.5 + 4.5 = 10 hours. Average speed = 590/10 = 59 km/h (approx. 58.33 km/h).

2242. Simple Interest (SI) = Amount - Principal = 31,000 - 25,000 = 6,000. SI = PRT/100, so 6,000 = (25,000 × R × 4)/100. Solving, R = 6%.

A. 5%

B. 6%

C. 7%

D. 8%

Simple Interest (SI) = Amount - Principal = 31,000 - 25,000 = 6,000. SI = PRT/100, so 6,000 = (25,000 × R × 4)/100. Solving, R = 6%.
