Q:

The average temperature of the town in the first four days of a month was 58 degrees. The average for the second, third, fourth and fifth days was 60 degrees. If the temperatures of the first and fifth days were in the ratio 7 : 8, then what is the temperature on the fifth day ?

A) 62 degrees B) 64 degrees
C) 65 degrees D) 66 degrees
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 64 degrees

Explanation:

Sum of temperatures on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th days = (58 * 4) = 232 degrees ... (1)

Sum of temperatures on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days - (60 * 4) = 240 degrees  ....(2)

Subtracting (1) From (2), we get :

Temp, on 5th day  - Temp on 1st day  = 8 degrees.

Let the temperatures on 1st and 5th days be 7x and 8x degrees respectively.

Then, 8x - 7x = 8 or x = 8.

Temperature on the 5th day = 8x = 64 degrees.

Q:

The base of a triangular field is three times its altitude. If the cost of cultivating the field at Rs. 24.68 per hectare be Rs. 333.18, find its base and height.

A) B=900;H=300 B) B=300;H=900
C) B=600;H=700 D) B=500;H=900
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) B=900;H=300

Explanation:

Area of the field = Total cost/rate = (333.18/25.6) = 13.5 hectares
13.5*10000m2=135000m2 
Let altitude = x metres  and  base = 3x metres.
Then, 12*3x*x=135000⇒x2=90000⇒x=300 

Base = 900 m and Altitude = 300 m.

Q:

A large field of 700 hectares is divided into two parts. The difference of the areas of the two parts is one-fifth of the average of the two areas. What is the area of the smaller part in hectares?

A) 315 B) 385
C) 415 D) 485
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 315

Explanation:

Let the areas of the two parts be x and (700-x) hectares

therefore, x-700-x=15x+700-x2

 ⇒2x-700=70

 ⇒x=385

So, the two parts are 385 and 315.

 Hence, Area of the smaller = 315 hectares

Q:

From  a container of wine, a thief has stolen 15 liters of wine and replaced it with same quantity of water.He again repeated the same process. Thus in three attempts the ratio of wine and water became 343:169. The  initial amount of wine in the container was:

A) 75 liters B) 100 liters
C) 150 liters D) 120 liters
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 120 liters

Explanation:

Wine (left)Water (added)=343169

 

It means   Wine (left)Wine(initial amount)=343512  ∵ 343+169 = 512

 

Thus ,       

343x=512x1-15K3

 

 ⇒343512=783=1-15k3

 

=> K = 120

Thus the initial amount of wine was 120 liters.

Q:

A bag contains 2 red, 3 green and 2 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that none of the balls drawn is blue?

A) 10/21 B) 11/21
C) 1/2 D) 2/7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10/21

Explanation:

Total number of balls = (2 + 3 + 2) = 7.

 

Let S be the sample space.

 

Then, n(S) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 7 =7C2 = 21

 

Let E = Event of drawing 2 balls, none of which is blue.

 

n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of (2 + 3) balls =5C2 = 10

 

Therefore, P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 10/ 21.
