Q:

The length, breadth and height of a room are in the ratio 7:3:1. If the breadth and height are doubled while the length is halved, then by what percent the total area of the 4 walls of the room will be increased  ?

A) 90% B) 88%
C) 85% D) 84%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 90%

Explanation:

Let length, breadth and height of the room be 7, 3, 1 unit respectively.

Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(7+3)x1 = 20 sq. unit.

Now, length, breadth and height of room will become 3.5, 6 and 2 respectively. 

Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(3.5+6)x2 = 38 sq. unit. 

% Increase in the area of walls = (38-20)x100/20 = 90%.

Q:

A Bus is running at 9/10 of its own speed reached a place in 22 hours. How much time could be saved if the bus would run at its own speed ?

A) 1.5 hrs B) 1.7 hrs
C) 2.2 hrs D) 3.5 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2.2 hrs

Explanation:

Let the original Speed be "s" kmph
And the usual time be "t" hrs
Given that if the bus is running at 9s/10 kmph the time is 22 hrs
=> [9s/10] x 22 = t x s
=> 99/5 = t
=> t = 19.8 hrs

 

Hence, if bus runs at its own speed, the time saved = 22 - 19.8 = 2.2 hrs.

Q:

The length of two superfast trains are 140 mts and 160 mts respectively. If they run at the speed of 60 km/hr and 80 km/hr respectively in opposite direction, find the time in which they will cross each other ? 

A) 7.71 sec B) 10.48 sec
C) 9.36 sec D) 8.45 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 7.71 sec

Explanation:

Given L1 = 140 m

L2 = 160 m

S1 = 60 km/hr

S2 = 80 km/hr

From the question we get,

S1 + S2 = (L1 + L2) / T

=> (60 + 80) 5/18 m/s = 140 + 160/T

=> T = 54/7 = 7.71 sec
