    After increment, Hiten’s salary = 1.1 × 70000 = 77000.
  2. A person covers a certain distance by travelling at a uniform speed of 120 km/h for 90 minutes. At what speed will he have to travel in order to cover the same distance in 1 hour 20 minutes? (in km/h)
    1. 135               
    2. 125               
    3. 140               
    4. 130               
    5. 145

    solving we get ,s = 5 km/hrs 
  7. Six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Kunal and Sagar was 6 : 5. Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11:10. What is Sagar's present age?
    1. 16 years
    2. 18 years

    5.  25 years
    Answer: Option A.
    let the age of kunal and sagar be k and s  respectively
    Given : k - 6 / s -6 =6/5 => 5k -6s = -6..........(1)
    and : k+4 /s +4 = 11/10 =>10k - 11s =4..........(2)
    Solving (1)&(2)  we get s =16 years.
  8. A number X is 150 more than a second number, Y. If the sum of X and Y is 5 times Y, what is the value of Y.
    1. 50

    4. 60                                                  
    5. 70
    Answer: Option A.
    X = 150 + Y
    X + Y = 5Y
    150 + 2Y = 5Y
    150 = 3Y => Y = 50.
