Q:

A can complete a work in 12 days with a working of 8 hours per day. B can complete the same work in 8 days when working 10 hours a day. If A and B work together, working 8 hours a day, the work can be completed in --- days  ?

A) 51/24 B) 87/5
C) 57/12 D) 60/11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 60/11

Explanation:

A can complete the work in 12 days working 8 hours a day

=> Number of hours A can complete the work = 12×8 = 96 hours 

=> Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/96

 

B can complete the work in 8 days working 10 hours a day

=> Number of hours B can complete the work = 8×10 = 80 hours 

=> Work done by B in 1 hour = 1/80

 

Work done by A and B in 1 hour = 1/96 + 1/80 = 11/480

 => A and B can complete the work in 480/11 hours

 

A and B works 8 hours a day.

Hence total days to complete the work with A and B working together 

= (480/11)/ (8) = 60/11 days

Q:

The total of the ages of Ashok, Akbar and Anil is 65 years. What was the total of their ages six years ago ?

A) 59 B) 43
C) 57 D) 47
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 47

Explanation:

Let their ages be x, y, z
Hence given that x + y + z = 65
Now, six years ago x age is x - 6, y is y - 6 and that of z is z - 6
Then the sum of their ages six years ago is (x + y + z) - (6 + 6 + 6) = 65 - 18 = 47

Q:

Find by how much percentage the average of first 10 odd numbers (starting from 1) is greater than the last term ?

A) 991/16 % B) 900/19 %
C) 874/13 % D) 719/17 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 900/19 %

Explanation:

First ten odd numbers form an arithmetic progression of the form
1,3,5,7,9......
here a = first term = 1
d = common difference = 2
Average of first n numbers = (2a + (n - 1)d)/2
n th term of the AP = a + (n - 1)d
Substituting a = 1, d = 2 and n = 10 in the above formulas
average of first 10 numbers = 10
10 th term of the AP = 19
Therefore average of first 10 terms is 19 - 10 = 9 greater than
the last term. Hence the average is greater than the sum by
9/19 X 100 = 900/19 %
