Explanation: Before: One day work = 1 / 20 One man’s one day work = 1 / ( 20 * 75) Now: No. Of workers = 50 One day work = 50 * 1 / ( 20 * 75) 47 A student divided a number by 2/3 when he required to multiply by 3/2.

Answer: 5.3 % Explanation: He sells 950 grams of pulses and gains 50 grams. If he sells 100 grams of pulses then he will gain (50 / 950) *100 = 5.26 49 A man was engaged on a job for 30 days on the condition that he would get a wage of Rs. 10 for the day he works, but he have to pay a fine of Rs. 2 for each day of his absence. If he gets Rs. 216 at the end, he was absent for work for ... days. Answer: 7 days Explanation: The equation portraying the given problem is: 10 * x – 2 * (30 – x) = 216 where x is the number of working days. Solving this we get x = 23 Number of days he was absent was 7 (30-23) days. 50 A man bought a horse and a cart. If he sold the horse at 10 % loss and the cart at 20 % gain, he would not lose anything; but if he sold the horse at 5% loss and the cart at 5% gain, he would lose Rs. 10 in the bargain. The amount paid by him was Rs.¬¬¬¬_______ for the horse and Rs.________ for the cart. Answer: Cost price of horse = Rs. 400 & the cost price of cart = 200. Explanation:- Let x be the cost price of the horse and y be the cost price of the cart. In the first sale there is no loss or profit. (i.e.) The loss obtained is equal to the gain. Therefore (10/100) * x = (20/100) * y X = 2 * y -----------------(1) In the second sale, he lost Rs. 10. (i.e.) The loss is greater than the profit by Rs. 10. Therefore (5 / 100) * x = (5 / 100) * y + 10 -------(2) Substituting (1) in (2) we get (10 / 100) * y = (5 / 100) * y + 10 (5 / 100) * y = 10 y = 200 From (1) 2 * 200 = x = 400 Placement Paper LIC Numerical Ability questions with answers Directions (Q. 1- 25): What should come in place of question mark(?) in each of the following questions? 1. 47% of 492 = ? 1) 232.06 2) 418.23 3) 362.16 4) 231.24 (Ans) 5) 232.64 2. 1825 - ( 46 x 1.65)=? 1) 24.04 (Ans) 2) 26.05 3) 28.04 4) 25 5) 28.06 3. 6/5 of 7/4 of 12184 = ? 1) 25841.64 2) 25782.72 3) 23284.01 4) 25586.4 (Ans) 5) None of these 4. 67.80 + 4235 + 64.52 + ?= 5321.32 1) 957.64 2) 954 (Ans) 3) 952.72 4) 948.48 5) None of these 5. 12% of 140 + 20 = ? 1) 34.2 2) 36.8 (Ans) 3) 38.6 4) 42.4 5) None of these 6. 28% of 420 - ? % of 320 = 80 1) 11.75 (Ans) 2) 12.8 3) 10 and 1/2 4) 16.08 5) 20.24 Exp: 28 x 420 - 80 = 320 x ? 100 100 117.6 - 80 = 320 x ? :. ? = 37.6 x 100 = 11.75 100 320 7. 57. 2.65 x 4.8 x 17.3 - 42.36 =? 1) 174.696 2) 167.696 (Ans) 3) 182.696 4) 177.696 5) 162.62 8. 67562 + 77320 =? + 52314 1) 92567 2) 92568 (Ans) 3) 95568 4) 82568 5) None of these 9. 203 x 53-(600) " = (?)2 1) 700 2) 600 3) 800 (Ans) 4) 500 5) 900 10. 6.8 x ? = 530. 2 1) 77.102 2) 76.230 3) 77.800 4) 77.501 5) 77.970 (Ans) 11. 1836 + 2301 =21 x? 1) 195 2) 196 3) 197 (Ans) 4) 198 5) 199 12. 144 12 0.3= ? 1) 42 2) 44 3) 46 4) 48 5) None of these (Ans) Exp : ? = 144 = 40 12 x 0.3 13.

Certain words are given in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of the questions. Politicians and generals talk of military strategies and manoeuvers but something completely different is needed. Stability will come only when economic opportunities exist, when youth can find jobs and support families rather than seeking their livelihood in violence. Peace can only be achieved with a withdrawal of foreign troops, sanctions and peace-keepers and the arrival of jobs, productive farms and factories, healthcare and schools. Repeatedly the fragile peace in impoverished countries has broken down because of the lack of economic follow-up. Despite promises of aid, the actual record of international aid to post war reconstruction is deficient. Once the war ends agencies involved in post war relief efforts fail to understand how to start or restart economic development in a low income setting. They squander time, surplus aid funds and opportunities because they are not familiar with local conditions and do not under-stand their point of view. There are distinct phases of outside help to end a conflict. In the first phase focus is on providing food, water, shelter and medicine to refugees i.e., humani-tarian. In the second, emphasis is on the refugees returning home while in the last phase long term investments and strengthening of courts is the main focus. However once a conflict is over aid agencies sanctioned by the World Bank send study groups instead of requisite personnel. There is a gap of several years before moving from humanitarian relief to economic development. By the time such help arrives the war has restarted. It is possible to restart economic develop-ment through targeted ‘quick impact’ initiatives. Most economies in post conflict countries are based on agri-culture. Providing free packages of seeds, fertilizers and low cost equip-ment quickly will ensure that former soldiers will return to their farms and establish their livelihood. But the window of opportunity closes quickly and one has to implement these measures almost immediately. 1. Which of the following is a reason, post conflict reconstruc-tion efforts have failed ?
