Q:

In a parking lot there are two types of vehicles, two wheelers and four wheelers. The total number of the vehicles in the parking lot is 200. When the number of the wheels of all the vehicles is counted it is counted to be 580. Find the total number of the four wheeler vehicles in the parking lot ?

A) 110 B) 90
C) 100 D) 180
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 90

Explanation:

Let number of 2 wheelers be 'x'
and 4 wheelers be 'y'

Given total number of vehicles = 200
i.e, x + y = 200 ....(1)

Given total number of wheels = 580
i.e, 2x + 4y = 580 ...(2)

By solving (1)&(2), we get

y = 90
=> x = 110

Therefore, number of two wheelers = 110
number of four wheelers = 90

Q:

Time taken by P alone to finish a work is 50% more than the time taken by P and Q together. Q is thrice as efficient as R. If Q and R together can complete the work in 22.5 days, then how many days will P alone take to complete the work ?

A) 17 days B) 11 days
C) 15 days D) 16 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 15 days

Explanation:

We know that Time is inversely proportional to Efficiency

Here given time ratio of P & P+Q as

P/P+Q = 150/100 = 3:2

Efficiency ratio of P & Q as

P:Q = 2:1 ....(1)

Given Efficiency ratio of Q & R as

Q:R = 3:1 ....(2)

From (1) & (2), we get

P:Q:R = 6:3:1

P alone can finish the work in

22.5(3+1)/6 = 15 days.

Q:

Three milkmen rented a pasture. A grazed 24 cows for 4 months; B 10 cows for 6 months; C 56 cows for 5 months. If A's share of rent is Rs. 960, find the total rent of the field?

A) 4530 B) 4440
C) 4360 D) 4280
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4360

Explanation:

Ratio of shares of A,B,C = (24 x 4) : (10 x 6) : (56 x 5)

                                    = 96 : 60 : 280.

 

Let total rent be Rs. x. Then, A's share = Rs.96x436

 ∴96x436=960 ⇔x=960×43696=4360

 

Hence total rent of the field is Rs. 4360.
