Q:

Ravi and Ramu are partners in a business.Ravi contributes 1/6 of the capital for 16 months and Ramu received 2/3 of the profit. For how long Ramu's money was used ?

A) 11 months B) 10 months
C) 9 months D) 8 months
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8 months

Explanation:

Let the total Profit be Z.
Ramu's profit share is 2/3 of profit (i.e 2Z/3)
Ravi's profit is (Z-2Z/3) =Z/3
Hence the profit ratio is , Ravi : Ramu = Z/3 : 2Z/3 = 1:2

Let total Capital be Rs.X and Ramu has contributed for Y months.Since Ramu's profit share is 2/3, his invest share will be 2/3 in capital.

Ravi's invest for 16 months / Ramu's invest for Y months = Ravi's profit share / Ramu's profit share
i.e. (X/6 x 16) / (2X/3 x Y) = 1/2

Solving the above equation, we get Y = 8.
So Ramu's money has been used for 8 months.

Q:

If sum of upstream and downstream speed of a boat is 82 kmph, and the boat travels 105 km. upstream in 3 hr, Find the time taken by boat to cover 126 km downstream. 

A) 2.8 hrs B) 2.7 hrs
C) 2.6 hrs D) 2.5 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2.7 hrs

Explanation:

Let Speed of boat in still water = b

Let Speed of still water = w

Then we know that,

Speed of Upstream = U = boat - water

Speed of Downstream = D = boat + water

Given, U + D = 82

b - w + b + w = 82

2b = 82

=> b = 41 kmph

From the given data,

41 - w = 105/3 = 35

w = 6 kmph

Now,

b + w = 126/t

=> 41 + 6 = 126/t

=> t = 126/47  = 2.68 hrs.

A) 15 mts B) 30 mts
C) 24 mts D) 36 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 30 mts

Explanation:

The cow can graze an area of 2826 sq.m i.e it is able to cover area of circle of 2826 sq.m

 

Therefore, πr2 =2826
r2 =(2826×7/22) = 899.18 = 900
r = 30 m.

 

Therefore, the radius of the circle implies the length of the rope = 30 mts.

A) 8 B) 9
C) 10 D) 11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9

Explanation:

Perimeter = 36


⇒ 2 ( l + w ) = 36


⇒ l + w = 18


Since length and width are positive integers in centimeters.

Therefore, possible dimensions are :


( 1, 17 )cm , ( 2, 16 ) cm , ( 3, 15 ) cm, (4 , 14) cm, ( 5,13) cm, ( 6, 12) cm , ( 7, 11) cm, ( 8, 10 ) cm, ( 9, 9) cm.

So, there is one way of doing it.

 

Tens place can be filled by any of the remaining 5 numbers.So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.

 

The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.

 

Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.
