Q:

A Woman’s downstream swimming rate is thrice of her upstream swimming rate. If she covers 12 km upstream in 2.5 hours, what distance she will cover in 5 hours downstream?

A) 72 km	B) 36 km
C) 56 km	D) 42 km

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 72 km

Q:

A 200 m long train passes a motorcycler, running in the same direction at 12 km/hr, in 15 second and a jeep travelling in the same direction in 20 s. At what speed is the car travelling (length of both the motorcycler and jeep is negligible)?

A) 36 kmph	B) 32 kmph
C) 29 kmph	D) 24 kmph

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 24 kmph

Explanation:

Let the speed of the train be 'S' kmph

From the given data,

Distance = Length of train = D = 200 mts = 200 x 18/5 kms

Time = 10 sec

given speed of the motorcycler = 12 kmph

Relative speed as they are moving in the same direction = (S - 12) kmph

$(S - 12) = \frac{200 x \frac{18}{5}}{15} S - 12 = 48 S = 60 kmph$

Hence, the speed of the train = S = 60 kmph

Now,

Let the speed of the jeep be 'x' kmph

$60 - x = \frac{200 x \frac{18}{5}}{20} 60 - x = 36 x = 60 - 36 x = 24 kmph$

Therefore, the speed of the jeep = x = 24 kmph.

Q:

Tickets numbered 1 to 20 are mixed up and then a ticket is drawn at random. What is the probability that the ticket drawn has a number which is a multiple of 4 or 15 ?

A) 6/19	B) 3/10
C) 7/10	D) 6/17

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3/10

Explanation:

Here, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, ...., 19, 20}=> n(s) = 20
Let E = event of getting a multiple of 4 or 15
=multiples od 4 are {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}
And multiples of 15 means multiples of 3 and 5
= {3, 6 , 9, 12, 15, 18, 5, 10, 15, 20}.
= the common multiple is only (15).
=> E = n(E)= 6
Required Probability = P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 6/20 = 3/10.
