Q:

Goldenrod and No Hope are in a horse race with 6 contestants. How many different arrangements of finishes are there if No Hope always finishes before Goldenrod and if all of the horses finish the race?

A) 720 B) 360
C) 120 D) 640
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 360

Explanation:

Two horses A and B, in a race of 6 horses... A has to finish before B

 

if A finishes 1... B could be in any of other 5 positions in 5 ways and other horses finish in 4! Ways, so total ways 5*4!

 

if A finishes 2... B could be in any of the last 4 positions in 4 ways. But the other positions could be filled in 4! ways, so the total ways 4*4!

 

if A finishes 3rd... B could be in any of last 3 positions in 3 ways, but the other positions could be filled in 4! ways, so total ways 3*4!

 

if A finishes 4th... B could be in any of last 2 positions in 2 ways, but the other positions could be filled in 4! ways, so total ways... 2 * 4! 

 

if A finishes 5th .. B has to be 6th and the top 4 positions could be filled in 4! ways..

 

A cannot finish 6th, since he has to be ahead of B

 

Therefore total number of ways = 5*4! + 4*4! + 3*4! + 2*4! + 4! = 120 + 96 + 72 + 48 + 24 = 360

Gopal borrowed some money at 12% simple interest. If he had to pay back Rs. 1280 after 5 years, in order to clear off the loan. How much did he borrow?

A) Rs. 800 B) Rs. 620
C) Rs. 560 D) Rs. 480
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 800

Let the principle amount be Rs. P

Interest rate = 12%

Total amount he paid after 5 years = Rs. 1280

ATQ, 

P + I = PTR100 + P1280 = PTR100 + 11280 = P5 x 12100 + 116P10 = 1280P = 80 x 10 = 800

 

Hence, the amount he borrowed = P = Rs. 800.

Q:

In a hoel, 60% had vegetarian lunch while 30% had non-vegetaian lunch and 15% had both types of lunch. If 96 people were present, how many did not eat either type of lunch ?

A) 24 B) 30
C) 36 D) 42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 24

Explanation:

n (A) = (60/100 * 96) = 288/5, n (B) = (30/100 * 96) = 144/5, n (A ∩ B) = (15/100 * 96) = 72/5.

n(A ∪ B) = n (A) + n (B) - n (A ∩ B) = 72.

So, people who had either or both types of lunch = 72.

Hence, people who had neither type of lunch = (96 - 72)= 24.

Q:

The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is:

A) 15360 B) 153600
C) .30720 D) 307200
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 153600

Explanation:

Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = (12000/60) * 8 = 1600m 

Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.  

Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.  

Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.

Area = (480 x 320) = 153600
