Q:

A Product is supported each week by the same three Product supporters. Last month the first supporter took 440 calls, the second took 360 calls, and the third took 300 calls. This month the job will consists of 1500 calls. If the three supporters each increase their work proportionately, how many more calls will the second supporter take this month than last month ?

A) 131 calls B) 160 calls
C) 491 calls D) 600 calls
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 131 calls

Explanation:

1st supporter recieve 440 calls
2nd supporter recieve 360 calls
3rd supporter recieve 300 calls

So total calls = 1100 calls ;
Calls this month= 1500
So remaining calls to be distributed is 400

So Now Ratio 1st:2nd:3rd ==> 440:360:300
=> 22:18:15

Now No. of More Calls 2nd supporter will get => [18/(22+18+15)] x 400
=> (18/55) x 400
=> 131 Calls
So 131 more Calls than last month.

Q:

A man has only 20-paise and 25-paise coins in a bag. If he has 50 coins in all totaling to Rs.10.25, then the number of 20-paise coins is 

A) 42 B) 45
C) 38 D) 36
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 45

Explanation:

Let number of 20 ps coins = x and

number of 25 ps coins = y

Given total coins in the bag = 50

x + y = 50.......(1)

But the total money in the bag = Rs. 10.25

0.20x + 0.25y = 10.25

20x + 25y = 1025.........(2)

Now multiplying (1) by 25 we get

25x+25y=1250.............(3)

By solving (2) and (3)

20x + 25y = 1025;

=> x = 45;

Then, the no. of 20 ps coins are 45.

P, Q and R secured 45%, 50% and 60% marks respectively in Biology. M’s marks in Biology is 12.5 more than P’s marks and 4 less than R’s marks. Find out the individual marks of four students.

 

A. For the students, total marks obtained for Biology is 311.5.
B. Total of M’s and P’s marks in Biology is 147.5.
C. R has obtained 84 marks.

A) Only C B) Only A & B
C) All are required D) None of the statements is required
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of the statements is required

Explanation:

From the given data,
(60 - 45)% = 12.5 + 4
15% = 16.5
=> 100% = ?
100% = 16.5 x 100/15 = 110

Hence, P = 45% of 110 = 45x110/100 = 49.5
Q = 50% of 110 = 55
R = 60% of 110 = 60 x 110/100 = 66
M = 12.5 + 49.5 = 62 or 66 - 4 = 62

 

Hence, no statement is required to answer.

Q:

In a certain code language 'allow children to play on the ground' is written as 'play allow on children the to ground' then how will  'the do open not electric touch wires ' be coded from that language?

A) not the electric do touch open wires B) do not touch the electric open wires
C) do not touch the open electric wires D) not the do electric touch open wires
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) do not touch the open electric wires

Explanation:

For convenience , we assign numbers to each word :

allow  children  to  play  on  the  ground

   1         2      3    4      5    6       7

It has been coded as : 

play  allow  on  children  the  to  ground

  4       1     5        2       6    3      7

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hence the given code is :

the  do  open  not  electric  touch  wires

 4     1      5     2       6         3       7

Now arranging them as 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, we have "do not touch the open electric wires'.

Hence, option (3) is correct answer.
