Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

There are 6 letters in the given word, out of which there are 3 vowels and 3 consonants.

Let us mark these positions as under: 

                                                      (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) 

Now, 3 vowels can be placed at any of the three places out 4, marked 1, 3, 5.  

Number of ways of arranging the vowels = 3P3 = 3! = 6.

Also, the 3 consonants can be arranged at the remaining 3 positions. 

Number of ways of these arrangements = 3P3 = 3! = 6. 

Total number of ways = (6 x 6) = 36.

                       A   :   C    

Efficiency      5    :   3    

No of days   3x   :  5x     

Given that, 5x-6 =3x  => x = 3  

Number of days taken by A = 9  

Number of days taken by C = 15     

           B  :  C    

Days   2  :  3  

Therefore, Number of days taken by B = 10   

Work done by B and C in initial 2 days = 2110+115= 1/3  

Thus,  Rest work =2/3  

Number of days required by A to finish 2/3 work = (2/3) x 9 = 6 days

B runs 35 m in 7 sec.

 B covers 200 m in (7/35*200) = 40 sec.

B's time over the course = 40 sec.

 A's time over the course (40 - 7) sec = 33 sec.

There are 7 digits 1, 2, 0, 2, 4, 2, 4 in which 2 occurs 3 times, 4 occurs 2 times.

 Number of 7 digit numbers = 7!3!×2! = 420

But out of these 420 numbers, there are some numbers which begin with '0' and they are not 7-digit numbers. The number of such numbers beginning with '0'.

=6!3!×2! = 60

Hence the required number of 7 digits numbers = 420 - 60 = 360

Less Men, means more Days {Indirect Proportion}

Let the number of days be x then,

27 : 36 :: 18 : x

[Please pay attention, we have written 27 : 36 rather than 36 : 27, in indirect proportion, if you get it then chain rule is clear to you :)]                                

=>27x = 36 * 18

=> x = 24

 So 24 days will be required to get work done by 27 men.

At 3 o'clock, the minute hand is 15 min. spaces apart from the hour hand.
To be coincident, it must gain 15 min. spaces.55 min. are gained in 60 min.
15 min. are gained in
= (60/55 x 15)min
=16+4/11
The hands are coincident at 16 + 4/11 min past 3
