Q:

At what time between 4 and 5 o'clock will the hands of a watch point in opposite directions?

 A) 54 past 4 B) (53 + 7/11) past 4 C) (54 + 8/11) past 4 D) (54 + 6/11) past 4

Explanation:

4 o'clock, the hands of the watch are 20 min. spaces apart.
To be in opposite directions, they must be 30 min. spaces apart.
Minute hand will have to gain 50 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min

50 min. spaces are gained in $6055×50$ min. or $54611$

Required time = $54611$ min. past 4.

Q:

A batsman makes a score of 87 runs in the 17th inning and thus increases his average by 3. Find his average after 17th inning?

Let the average after 7th inning = x

Then average after 16th inning = x - 3

16(x-3)+87 = 17x

x = 87 - 48 = 39

Q:

A can do a piece of work in 10 days, B in 15 days. They work together for 5 days, the rest of the work is finished by C in two more days. If they get Rs. 3000 as wages for the whole work, what are the daily wages of A, B and C respectively (in Rs):

 A) 200, 250, 300 B) 300, 200, 250 C) 200, 300, 400 D) None of these

Explanation:

A's 5 days work = 50%

B's 5 days work = 33.33%

C's 2 days work = 16.66%     [100- (50+33.33)]

Ratio of contribution of work of A, B and C =  = 3 : 2 : 1

A's total share = Rs. 1500

B's total share = Rs. 1000

C's total share = Rs. 500

A's one day's earning = Rs.300

B's one day's earning = Rs.200

C's one day's earning = Rs.250

Q:

The working principle of a washing machine is

 A) reverse osmosis B) diffusion C) centrifugation D) dialysis

Explanation:

The working principle of a washing machine is centrifugation.

Centrifugation is a separation process which uses the action of centrifugal force to promote accelerated settling of particles in a solid-liquid mixture.

The washing machine consists of centrifuge for this purpose. A centrifuge is a piece of equipment that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying a force perpendicular to the axis of spin that can be very strong.

Q:

At what time between 2 and 3 o'clock will the hands of a clock be together?

 A) (9 + 10/11) min past 2 B) (10 + 10/11) min past 2 C) (11 + 10/11) min past 2 D) (12 + 10/11) min past 2

Explanation:

At 2 o'clock, the hour hand is at 2 and the minute hand is at 12, i.e. they are 10 min spaces apart.

To be together, the minute hand must gain 10 minutes over the hour hand.

Now, 55 minutes are gained by it in 60 min.

$\inline \fn_jvn \therefore$ 10 minutes will be gained in $6055×10$ min. = $101011$ min.

The hands will coincide at $101011$ min. past 2.
