Q:

If 6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days while 26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days what is time taken by 15 men and 20 boys?

A) 4 days B) 6 days
C) 7 days D) 5 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4 days

Explanation:

Given that 

6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days 

26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days

 

As the work done is equal,

10(6M + 8B) = 2(26M + 48B)

60M + 80B = 52M + 96B

=> M = 2B

=> B = M/2 ……(1)

 

Now Put (1) in 15M + 20B

=> 15M + 10M = 25M

Now, 6M + 8B in 10 days

=> (6M + 4M) 10 = 100M

Then D(25M) = 100M

=> D = 4 days.

A) 7:3 B) 5:3
C) 8:5 D) 2:7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5:3

Explanation:

W1:A1  W2:A2  ..... WN:AN

  2 : 3                   4 : 5                    5 : 7 

 

W1W1+A1 = 25 W2W2+A2=49  WNWN+AN = 512

= 72/180

= 80/180

= 75/180  

                     

 

 =>     5   :   3

Q:

In how many ways can 5 different toys be packed in 3 identical boxes such that no box is empty, if any of the boxes may hold all of the toys ?

A) 36 B) 25
C) 24 D) 72
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 25

Explanation:

The toys are different; The boxes are identical 

 

If none of the boxes is to remain empty, then we can pack the toys in one of the following ways 

a. 2, 2, 1 

b. 3, 1, 1 

 

Case a. Number of ways of achieving the first option 2 - 2 - 1 

 

Two toys out of the 5 can be selected in 5C2 ways. Another 2 out of the remaining 3 can be selected in 3C2 ways and the last toy can be selected in 1C1 way. 

 

However, as the boxes are identical, the two different ways of selecting which box holds the first two toys and which one holds the second set of two toys will look the same. Hence, we need to divide the result by 2 

 

Therefore, total number of ways of achieving the 2 - 2 - 1 option is ways 5C2*3C2= 15 ways

 

 

Case b. Number of ways of achieving the second option 3 - 1 - 1

 

Three toys out of the 5 can be selected in 5C3 ways. As the boxes are identical, the remaining two toys can go into the two identical looking boxes in only one way.

 

Therefore, total number of ways of getting the 3 - 1 - 1 option is 5C3 = 10 = 10 ways.

 

 

 

Total ways in which the 5 toys can be packed in 3 identical boxes

 

= number of ways of achieving Case a + number of ways of achieving Case b= 15 + 10 = 25 ways.

Q:

If you deposit $4000 into an account paying 6% annual interest compounded quarterly, how much money will be in the account after 5 years ?

A) 3387.42 B) 4387.42
C) 5387.42 D) 6387.42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5387.42

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for calculating compound interest depends on several factors. These factors include the amount of money deposited called the principal, the annual interest rate (in decimal form), the number of times the money is compounded per year, and the number of years the money is left in the bank.

 FV=p1+rnnt

 

FV = Future value of the Deposit

 

p = Principal or Amount of Money deposited

 

r = Annual Interest Rate (in decimal form )

 

n = No of times compounded per year

 

t = time in years

FV=40001+0.0644(5)= 5387.42
