Q:

A boat whose speed in still water is 9 kmph, goes 12 km downstream and comes back in 3 hrs. Find the speed of the stream?

A) 1 kmph B) 3 kmph
C) 5 kmph D) 4 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the stream = x kmph

 

From the given data,

 

 129+x+129-x=3 hrs

3x2 = 27

 

=> x = 3 kmph

 

Therefore, the speed of the stream = 3 kmph

Q:

The average of marks in 3 subjects is 224. The first subject marks is twice the second and the second subject marks is twice the third. Find the second subject marks ?

A) 384 B) 96
C) 192 D) 206
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 192

Explanation:

Let the third subject marks be 'x'
=> Second subject marks = 2x
=> Third subject marks = 4x
Given avg = 224
x + 2x + 4x = 224 x 3
=> 7x = 224 x 3
=> x = 96
Hence, Second subject marks = 2x = 2 x 96 = 192.

A) 59 B) 60
C) 61 D) 64
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

The given digits are 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9  

A number is even when its units digit is even. Of the given digits, two is the only even digit.Units place is filled with only '2' and the remaining three places can be filled in ⁵P₃ ways.

 

Number of even numbers = ⁵P₃ = 60.

Q:

A person can row 8 1/2 km an hour in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the river. The speed of the stream ?

A) 1.78 kmph B) 2.35 kmph
C) 2.83 kmph D) 3.15 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2.83 kmph

Explanation:

Given speed of the person = 8 1/2 = 17/2 kmph
Let the speed of the stream = x kmph
speed of upstream = 17/2 - x
speed of downstream = 17/2 + x
But given that,
2(17/2 - x) = 17/2 + x
=> 3x = 17/2
=> x = 2.83 kmph.

Q:

If it is possible to form a number with the second, the fifth and the eighth digits of the number 31549786, which is the perfect square of a two - digit even number, which of the following will be the second digit of that even number ?

A) 1 B) 4
C) 6 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4

Explanation:

The 2nd, 5th and 8th digits of the number 31549786 are 1, 9 and 6 respectively.

 

The perfect square of a two - digit even number, formed using the digits 1, 9 and 6 is 196.

And,  14 x 14 = 196 

 

So, the required even number is 14. Clearly, its second digit is 4.

 

Hence, the answer is (b).

Q:

A motorboat can go 10 miles downstream on a river in 20 min. It takes 30 min for this boat to go back at the same 10 miles. Find the speed of the current ?

A) 8 m/h B) 5 m/h
C) 7 m/h D) 6 m/h
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5 m/h

Explanation:

As the distance travelled is constant, the time taken is inversely proportional to speed.

Let 'u' be the speed of the current and 'v' be the speed of the boat.

Speed of the boat downstream = v + u & upstream = v - u

=> v+u/v-u = 30/20 => v/u = 5 => v = 5u

=> v + u = 6u = 10/20/60 miles/hr

=> 6u = 30 m/h

=> u = 5 m/h

Q:

Sweety is 54 years old and her mother is 80. How many years ago was Sweety's mother three times her age?

A) 20 B) 41
C) 26 D) 33
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 41

Explanation:

Given P = 54 and M = 80

According to the question,

Let ‘A’ years ago, M = 3P

=> M - A/P - A = 3

=> 80 - A = 3(54 - A)

=> 80 - A = 162 - 3A

=> 2A = 82

=> A = 41

Therefore, A = 41 years ago Sweety’s mother was 3 times of Sweety’s age.

Hence, at the age S = 13 and M = 39.
