Q:

The ratio of the speed of Two trains is 5:8. Sum of their length is 660. The ratio of time taken to cross an Electric Pole by train A and B is 4:3. What is the difference between the length of two trains?

A) 50m B) 40m
C) 60m D) 45m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 60m

Explanation:

Ans.
Given that length of first train + length of second train = 660
Speed of first train : Speed of second train = 5:8 =5x : 8x
Time taken to cross the poll by two trains = 4:3 =4y:3y
Now ,
(5x*4y) + (8x*3y) = 660
44xy = 660
xy = 15
L1 - L2 = 24xy -20xy = 4xy = 60 m

Q:

Two trains running in opposite directions cross a pole placed on the platform in 47 seconds and 31 seconds respectively. If they cross each other in 33 seconds, what is the ratio of their speeds?

A) 1:7 B) 7:1
C) 2:3 D) 3:2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1:7

Explanation:

Let the speed of the trains be x and y respectively
length of train1 = 47x
length of train2 = 31y
Relative speed= x + y
Time taken to cross each other = 33 s
=> 47x+31yx+y= 33
=> (47x + 31 y) = 33(x + y)
=> 14x = 2y
=> x/y = 2/14 = 1/7

 = 1:7

Q:

A alone can do a work in 20 days. B is 125% more efficient than A. A and B started working and worked for 4 days. If C alone completed the remaining job in 22 days. How many days C alone takes to complete the entire job?

A) 30 B) 35
C) 40 D) 42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 40

Explanation:
A alone can do = 20days 
 
Efficiency ratio of A & B= 4 : 5

Time required will be in ratio = 5:4

B alone will do it in =16 days

LCM of (16,20)= 80 ,
 
Assume work size of 80 units

 

1 day work of A= 4 units 1 day work of B= 5 units

 

Work done by both in 4 days= 4*(5+4)= 36 units

 

Work left= 80-36= 44 units

 

Now C takes 22 days to complete= 44 units.

 

Time taken by C alone to complete the work= 40 days

Q:

Which of the following fraction is the largest?

A) 7/12 B) 9/16
C) 13/20 D) 32/80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 7/12

Explanation:

Here to say which fraction is greater from the given options, the fraction with greater numerator with same denominator or smaller denominator with same numerator.

To find the greater fraction, among the given options, make the denominators same for the options by finding the LCM of all the denominators.

7/12, 9/16, 13/20, 32/80

Now, LCM of 12, 16, 20, 80 = 240.

Then,

140/240, 135/240, 156/240, 96/240

Here 

156240 > 140240 > 135240 > 96240=> 1320 > 712 > 916 > 3280

 

Hence, largest fraction = 13/20.

A) 27 B) 38
C) 55 D) 75
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 38

Explanation:

The given series is 15, 19, 27, 38, 55, 75

15

15 + 4 = 19

19 + 8 = 27

27 + 12 = 39

39 + 16 = 55

55 + 20 = 75

 

Hence, the odd number in the given series is 38.
