Q:

An Engine length 1000 m moving at 10 m/s. A bird is flying from engine to end with 'x' m/s and coming back at '2x' m/s. Take total time of bird travelling as 187.5 s. Find x and 2x in km/hr ?

A) 21.4 and 42.8	B) 25.2 and 50.4
C) 31.4208 and 62.8416	D) 33.12 and 66.24

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 31.4208 and 62.8416

Explanation:

Birds speeds in mtrs/sec is 'x' and '2x' .
While flying from Engine to end, relative speed = (x+10) m/sec
from end to engine, flying speed = (2x - 10) mtr/sec
so
1000/(x+10) + 1000/(2x-10) = 187.5 secs
solving it, we get
so x = 8.728 m/sec and 2x= 17.456 m/sec

x = 31.4208 km/hr and 2x = 62.8416 km/hr.

Q:

Running 3/4th of his usual rate, a man is 15min late. Find his usual time in hours ?

A) 2/3 hrs	B) 3/4 hrs
C) 1/3 hrs	D) 1/4 hrs

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3/4 hrs

Explanation:

Walking at 3/4th of usual rate implies that time taken would be 4/3th of the usual time. In other words, the time taken is 1/3rd more than his usual time

so 1/3rd of the usual time = 15min
or usual time = 3 x 15 = 45min = 45/60 hrs = 3/4 hrs.

Q:

$17 \frac{4}{7} + 13 \frac{2}{12} - ? = 11 \frac{2}{3}$

A) 16	B) 17
C) 18	D) 19

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 19

Explanation:

$17 \frac{4}{7} + 13 \frac{2}{12} - ? = 11 \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{123}{7} + \frac{158}{12} - ? = \frac{35}{3}$

=> $? = \frac{123}{7} + \frac{158}{12} - \frac{35}{3}$

=> ? = $\frac{1476 + 1106 - 980}{84}$

=> ? = 19.07

Q:

Find the principal if the interest compounded at the rate of 10% per annum for two years is Rs. 420 ?

A) Rs. 2000	B) Rs. 2100
C) Rs. 1900	D) Rs. 2150

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 2000

Explanation:

Given,
Compound rate, R = 10% per annum
Time = 2 years
C.I = Rs. 420
Let P be the required principal.
A = (P+C.I)
Amount, A = $P {(1 + (\frac{r}{100}))}^{n}$

(P+C.I) = $P {[1 + (\frac{10}{100})]}^{2}$

(P+420) = P[11/10][11/10]

P-1.21P = -420

0.21P = 420

Hence, P = 420/0.21 = Rs. 2000

Q:

A is 50% more efficient than B. They together start the work and 7/12th of work is left after 8 days. Find in what time B alone will complete the whole work.

A) 36 days	B) 44 days
C) 50 days	D) 40 days

Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

Ratio of efficiency of A to B is 3 : 2

Let, In 8 days they complete = (3 + 2) × 8 = 40 units

So, total work = 40 × 12/5 units

Time taken by B alone to complete whole work = 40 × 12/5 ×2 = 48 days
