Q:

Ajay and Vijay have some marbles with them. Ajay told Vijay "if you give me 'x' marbles, both of us will have equal number of marbles". Vijay then told Ajay "if you give me twice as many marbles, I will have 30 more marbles than you would". Find 'x'  ?

A) 4 B) 10
C) 8 D) 5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 5

Explanation:

If Vijay gives 'x' marbles to Ajay then Vijay and Ajay would have V - x and A + x marbles.
V - x = A + x --- (1)
If Ajay gives 2x marbles to Vijay then Ajay and Vijay would have A - 2x and V + 2x marbles.
V + 2x - (A - 2x) = 30 => V - A + 4x = 30 --- (2)
From (1) we have V - A = 2x
Substituting V - A = 2x in (2)
6x = 30 => x = 5.

Q:

Find the number of bricks, each measuring 24 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm, required to construct a wall 24 m long, 8m high and 60 cm thick, if 10% of the wall is filled with mortar?

A) 35000 B) 45000
C) 55000 D) 65000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 45000

Explanation:

Volume of the wall = (2400 x 800 x 60)  cu.cm  

 

Volume of bricks   = 90% of the volume of the wall 

= [(90/100) x 2400 x 800 x 60] cu.cm  

 

Volume of 1 brick = (24 x 12 x 8)  cu.cm 

 

Number of bricks = [(90/100) x (2400 x 800 x 60) ]/ (24 x 12 x 8) = 45000
