41. Water tax is increased by 20% but its consumption is decreased by 20%. Then, the increase or decrease in the expenditure of the money is?
Answer:
Explanation:Assume total amount is 100
Increased tax = 100+20 = 120
Decrease in consumption = 100-20 =80
Total amount, 100*100 = 10000
After change, 120*80 = 9600
(10000-9600/10000)*100 = 4 % decrease

43. The ratio of the present ages of Sunita and vinita is 4:5. Six years hence the ratio of their ages will be 14:17. What will be the ratio of their ages 12 years hence?
Answer:
Explanation:present age sunita:vinita=4:5
lets their age is 4x and 5y respectively..
after 6 yrs their age ratio will be 14:17
therefore (4x+6)/(5x+6)=14/17
=>x=9
therefore their present age is 36,45 repectvely
after 12 yrs their age will be 48,57 respectively
=>ratio after 12 yrs will be 48/57=16/19=16:19

44. In an examination, 35% of the students passed and 455 failed. How many students appeared for the examination?

Total no of students passed is 35%, So
7*35=245.
So Total Students is equal to
245+455= 700.

47. A and B are partners in a business. A contributes 1/4 of the capital for 15 months and B received 2/3 of the profit .For how long B’s money was used.
Answer:
Explanation:B received 2/3 of the profit
A : B = 1 : 2
Let the total capital = x
Then A's capital = x/4
B's capital = x – x/4 = 3x/4
Assume B's money was used for b months
Then A:B = (x/4)*15 : (3x/4)*b = 1 : 2
15/4 : 3b/4 = 1 : 2
15 : 3b = 1 : 2
5 : b = 1 : 2
5/b = 1/ 2
b = 5*2 = 10 months

48. In seven given numbers,the average of first four numbers is 4 and that of last four numbers is also 4. If the average of these seven numbers is 3, the fourth number is?
Answer:
Explanation:let 7 numbers are a,b,c,d,e,f,g.
given avg of first 4 nums are 4...i.e (a+b+c+d)/4=4
a+b+c+d=16
given avg of last 4 nums are also 4..i.e.(d+e+f+g)/4=4
d+e+f+g=16
e+f+g=16-d
given avg of 7 nums are 3....i.e (a+b+c+d+e+f+g)/7=3
a+b+c+d+e+f+g=21
16+16-d=21
d=32-21
d=11
