Q:

A man traveled from the village to the post-office at the rate of 25 kmph and walked back at the rate of 4 kmph. If the whole journey took 5 hours 48 minutes, find the distance of the post-office from the village ?

A) 40 km	B) 30 km
C) 20 km	D) 10 km

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20 km

Explanation:

Average speed = $\frac{2 a b}{a + b}$ , here a=25 b=4
= 2 x 25 x 4/(25+4) = 200/29 km/hr.

Distance covered in 5 hours 48 minutes
= Speed x time = (200/29)x (29/5) Distance covered in 5 hours 48 minutes = 40kms.

Distance of the post office from the village = (40/2) = 20 km.

Q:

A watch which gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes was set right at 7 a.m. In the afternoon of the same day, when the watch indicated quarter past 4 o'clock, the true time is:

A) 4pm	B) 5pm
C) 6pm	D) 7pm

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4pm

Explanation:

Time from 7 am to 4.15 pm = 9 hrs 15 min = $\frac{37}{4}$ hrs

3 min. 5 sec. of this clock = 3 min. of the correct clock.

Now 3min.5sec. is $\frac{37}{720}$ hrs of this clock = 3 min.is $\frac{1}{20}$ hrs of the correct clock

$\frac{37}{4}$ hrs of clock = $(\frac{1}{20} \times \frac{720}{37} \times \frac{37}{4})$ hrs of the correct clock.

= 9 hrs of the correct clock.

$\therefore$ The correct time is 9 hrs after 7 am. i.e., 4 pm.

Q:

Find the appropriate relation for quantity1 and quantity2 in the following question:

Quantity 1: In an examination, Ankita scored 35 marks less than Puneeta. Puneeta scored 65 more marks than Meenakshi. Rakhi scored 115 marks, which is 20 marks more than Meenakshi's. Simpy scored 108 marks less than the maximum marks of the test. What approximate percentage of marks did Simpy score in the examination, if she got 67 marks more than Ankita?

Quantity 2: The length of a rectangle is increased by 60%. By what percent would the width have to be decreased to maintain the same area?

A) Quantity1 < Quantity2	B) Quantity1 ≤ Quantity2
C) Quantity1 ≥ Quantity2	D) Quantity1 > Quantity2

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Quantity1 > Quantity2

Explanation:

Quantity1-
Rakhi’s marks= 115
Meenakshi’s marks= 115 - 20 = 95
Puneeta’s marks= 95 + 65= 160
Ankita’s marks=160 - 35= 125
Simpy’s marks= 125+ 67= 192
Total maximum marks= 192 + 108= 300
Required percentage marks of Simpy
= $\frac{192}{300} \times 100 = 64 %$
Quantity2-
Let length and breadth be 100.

After increase in length it become 160, then
reduction in breadth be ‘x’
Now, 160*x= 100*100
Hence, x = $\frac{10000}{160} = 62.5$

100-62.5=37.5%
