1) If pipe A can fill the tank in 45 minutes and pipe B in 30 minutes, find the time to fill the tank if both the pipes are opened together.
a. 12 minutes
b. 20 minutes
c. 18 minutes
d. 15 minutes
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 18 minutes
Explanation:
In 1 minute pipe A can fill 1/45th part of the tank and pipe B can fill 1/30th part of the tank. If they are opened simultaneously then in 1 minute they can fill (1/45
+ 1/30) part of the tank = 1/18th part of the tank.
Hence, in 18 minutes the tank gets filled if pipes A & B are opened together.

2) Find the ratio in which wheat of inferior quality (Rs.14/kg) be mixed with wheat of superior quality (Rs.28/kg) so that the shopkeeper gains Rs.2 by selling the resulting mixture at Rs.20/kg.
a. 1 : 3
b. 5 : 2
c. 3 : 4
d. 2 : 5
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 5 : 2
Explanation:
Let the resulting mixture be 1 kg, and x kg be the amount of wheat of inferior quality.
Therefore, (1-x)kg is the amount of wheat of superior quality.
As the shopkeeper gains Rs.2, the cost of the mixture is Rs.18
14*x + 28*(1-x) = 18
14x - 28x + 28 = 18
14x = 10
x = 5/7
(1 – x) = 2/7
x : (1-x) = 5/7 : 2/7
= 5 : 2

3) Find the area of the square field if a train 800 metres long passes the field with a speed of 120 kmph in one minute.
a. 1.44 sq. km
b. 4 sq. km
c. 2 sq. km
d. 2.64 sq. km
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 1.44 sq. km
Explanation:
120 km/hr = 120 * 5/18 = 33.33 m/s
v = d/t ; 33.33 = d/60
d = 2000 m
Hence, in one minute the train travels 2000 m. But, as the train is 800 m long and it passes the field, the length of the field is 2000 – 800 = 1200 m.
Area = 1200 * 1200 = 1.44 sq. km

4) If the ratio of present ages of Jeet and Jay is 5:7 and after 6 years the ratio will be 3:4, what is the present age of Jay?
a. 42
b. 30
c. 36
d. None of these
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 42
Explanation:
As the present age of Jeet and Jay are in the ratio 5:7, let their ages be 5x and 7x respectively.
Therefore, their ages after 6 years will be (5x+6) and (7x+6) respectively.
Now, it is given that (5x+6)/(7x+6) = 3/4
4*(5x+6) = 3*(7x+6)
x = 6
Hence, the present age of Jay is 7x = 7*6 = 42 years

5) A military camp has a food reserve for 250 personnel for 40 days. If after 15 days 50 more personnel are added to the camp, find the number of days the reserve will last for?
a. 20
b. 36
c. 25
d. 42
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 25
Explanation:
As the camp has a reserve for 250 personnel that can last for 40 days, after 10 days the reserve left for 250 personnel is for 30 days. Now 50 more personnel are added
in the camp.
Hence, the food reserve for 300 personnel will last for:
250:300::x:30 ……..(it is an indirect proportion as less men means more days)
x = (250*30)/300
x = 25 days

9) Two friends A and B apply for a job in the same company. The chances of A getting selected is 2/5 and that of B is 4/7. What is the probability that both of them get selected?
a. 8/35
b. 34/35
c. 27/35
d. None of these
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 8/35
Explanation:
P(A) = 2/5
P(B) = 4/7
E = {A and B both get selected}
P(E) = P(A)*P(B)
= 2/5 * 4/7
= 8/35

10) Find the number of shares that can be bought for Rs.8200 if the market value is Rs.20 each with brokerage being 2.5%.
a. 450
b. 500
c. 400
d. 410
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 400
Explanation:
Cost of each share = (20 + 2.5% of 20) = Rs.20.5
Therefore, number of shares = 8200/20.5 = 400

11) The ratio of the current ages of Ajay and Vijay is 7:4. The ratio between Ajay’s age 6 years ago and Vijay’s age 6 years from now is 1:1. Find the ratio between Ajay’s
age 12 years hence and Vijay’s age 12 years ago.
a. 12:1
b. 10:1
c. 1:1
d. None of these
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 10:1
Explanation:
Let the current age of Ajay and Vijay be 7x and 4x respectively.
(7x – 6) / 4x + 6 = 1/1
7x – 6 = 4x + 6
3x = 12
x = 4
Therefore, (7x + 12) / (4x – 12) = (7*4 + 12) / (4 * 4 -12) = 40/4 = 10/1

13) If in a race of 80m, A covers the distance in 20 seconds and B in 25 seconds, then A beats B by:
a. 20m
b. 16m
c. 11m
d. 10m
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 16m
Explanation:
The difference in the timing of A and B is 5 seconds. Hence, A beats B by 5 seconds.
The distance covered by B in 5 seconds = (80 * 5) / 25 = 16m
Hence, A beats B by 16m.

15) Ravi started off with a business with a capital of Rs.60000. Later he was joined by Kishan with Rs.40000 as his share. If Kishan received 1/3rd of the total profit after 1 year, for how many months did he invest?
a. 8
b. 4
c. 3
d. 9
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 9
Explanation:
Let Ravi’s share be X and Kishan’s share be Y.
X : Y = 2 : 1 = 60000*12 : 40000*t ….(where t is number of months Kishan invested his money)
2 : 1 = 72 : 4t
36 = 4t
t = 9

a. 12 p.m.
b. 1 p.m.
c. 4 p.m.
d. 5 p.m.
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 5 p.m.
Explanation:
The L.C.M. of 12, 20 and 35 is 420. Hence, all 3 bells beep together after 420 minutes = 7 hours
Hence, the 3 bells will beep together 7 hours after 10 a.m. i.e. at 5 p.m.

Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 2044
Explanation:
Let x and y be the two given numbers
(x + y) = 73; (x – y) = 28
(x2 – y2) = (x + y) (x – y) = 73*28 = 2044

20) How many numbers between 100 and 600 are divisible by 2, 3, and 7 together?
a. 11
b. 12
c. 14
d. cannot be determined
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 12
Explanation:
As the division is by 2, 3, 7 together, the numbers are to be divisible by: 2*3*7 = 42
The limits are 100 and 600
The first number divisible is 42*3 = 126
To find out the last number divisible by 42 within 600:
600/42 = 14.28
Hence, 42*14 = 588 is the last number divisible by 42 within 600
Hence, total numbers divisible by 2, 3, 7 together are (14 – 2) = 12

|
Answer
Explanation
|

23) If a flat costs Rs.4500 per sq. ft, and a commercial space costs Rs.9500 per sq. ft, then what is the ratio of their areas if the total cost of both are the same?
a. 9:19
b. 19:9
c. 15:28
d. 28:15
|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: 19:9
Explanation:
Let A1 be the area of flat and A2 be that of the commercial space
Total cost = area * rate
Therefore, cost of flat = A1*4500 ; cost of commercial space = A2*9500
Both the above costs are same
A1*4500 = A2*9500
A1:A2 = 9500:4500 = 19:9
