Numerical Ability Quiz
1. A man buys an article for ₹500 and sells it for ₹600. What is his profit percentage?
**Solution**: Profit = Selling Price – Cost Price = ₹600 – ₹500 = ₹100. Profit % = (Profit / Cost Price) × 100 = (100 / 500) × 100 = 20%.
**Answer: C) 20%**
**Answer: C) 20%**
2. If the ratio of two numbers is 3:4 and their sum is 70, what is the larger number?
**Solution**: Let the numbers be 3x and 4x. Then, 3x + 4x = 7x = 70, so x = 10. Larger number = 4x = 4 × 10 = 40.
**Answer: C) 40**
**Answer: C) 40**
3. A boat covers 24 km upstream and 36 km downstream in 6 hours, while it covers 36 km upstream and 24 km downstream in 6.5 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
**Solution**: Let speed of boat = b km/hr, stream = s km/hr. Equations: (24/(b-s) + 36/(b+s)) = 6, (36/(b-s) + 24/(b+s)) = 6.5. Solving gives b = 8 km/hr.
**Answer: C) 8 km/hr**
**Answer: C) 8 km/hr**
4. If the area of a circle is 154 cm², what is its radius?
