Q:

If there are 150 questions in a 3 hr examination. Among these questions 50 are type A problems, which requires twice as much as time be spent on the rest of the type B problems. How many minutes should be spent on type A problems ?

A) 75 min B) 82 min
C) 90 min D) 101 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 90 min

Explanation:

Let X = Time taken for each of Type B Problems(100 Problems)
And 2X = Time taken for each of Type A problems(50 problems)

Total time period = 3hrs = 3 x 60min = 180 minutes

100X + 50(2X) = 180
100X + 100X = 180
200X = 180 min

X = 180/200
X = 0.90 min

By convertiing into seconds,

X = 0.90 x 60 seconds
X = 54 sec

So, time taken for Part A problems is = 54 x 2 x 50 = 5400 seconds
= 5400/60sec = 90 minutes.

Q:

In a race of 1000 m, A can beat by 100 m, in a race of 800m, B can beat C by 100m. By how many meters will A beat C in a race of 600 m ?

A) 127.5 m B) 254 m
C) 184 m D) 212 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 127.5 m

Explanation:

When A runs 1000 m, B runs 900 m and when B runs 800 m, C runs 700 m.

When B runs 900 m, distance that C runs = (900 x 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 m.

In a race of 1000 m, A beats C by (1000 - 787.5) = 212.5 m to C.

In a race of 600 m, the number of meters by which A beats C

= (600 x 212.5)/1000 = 127.5 m.

Q:

If sum of three consecutive numbers is 42 . What will the sum of the digits of middle number .

Answer

Let the numbers be x, x+1, x+2 


Then x + x+1 + x+2 = 42


           =>  3x + 3 = 42


           => 3x = 39 


          =>  x = 13


 


The numbers would be 13, 14, 15 


Therefore, Sum of the digits of middle number = 1+4 = 5
