Q:

Ajay who is a King, at his eleventh hour, called his three queens and distributed his gold in the following way: He gave 50% of his wealth to his first wife, 50% of the rest to his second wife and again 50% of the rest to his third wife. If their combined share is worth1,30,900 kilograms of gold, find the quantity of gold King Ajay was having initially?

A) 153145 kgs B) 147890 kgs
C) 152400 kgs D) 149600 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 149600 kgs

Explanation:

Let the total quantity of gold be p kgs.

According to the question,

50% of p + 25% of p + 12.5% of p = 130900

87.5% of p = 130900

p = 130900 x 100/87.5  = 149600 kgs.

 

Therefore, the initial gold quantity that king has = p = 149600 kgs.

of graduates having experience?

A) 12:1 B) 5:1
C) 1:5 D) 1:12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1:12

Explanation:

Given total applicants = 135
Given graduates are G=60
Otherthan graduates=135-60 = 75
Given experienced candidates = 80
1) For maximum number of graduates have experience
    Total graduates to have experience = 60

2) For minimum number of graduates have experience
    Remaining after taking other than graduates in experience= 80-75 = 5

Q:

A plane is an undefined term because it

A) is a flat surface that extends indefinitely in all directions B) is where other geometric shapes can be constructed
C) is described generally, not using a formal definition D) can be named using three noncollinear points
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) is described generally, not using a formal definition

Explanation:

In geometry, we can define plane as a flat surface with no thickness.

The surface extends with no ends.

A plane does not have any edges even if we draw it on paper with edges, it does't mean it has edges.

 

Hence, A plane is an undefined term because it is described generally, not using a formal definition.

Q:

Lucky started working 2 years ago. Her starting salary was half of Karthik's salary at that time. Each year since then Lucky and Karthik have received a rise of 10% in their respective salary. What percentage (to the nearest percent) of Karthik's current salary is Lucky's current salary ?

A) 75% B) 22.5%
C) 35% D) 50%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50%

Explanation:

Let the salary of Karthik 2 years ago be Rs.100
So, Lucky's salary 2 years ago was Rs.50

 

Karthik's present salary has seen two 10 percent increases. So as Lucky's salary.

So, Karthik's salary 1 year ago = 100 + 10% of 100 = 100 + 10 = 110.
Karthik's present salary = 110 + 10% of 110 = 110 + 11 = 121.

 

Lucky's salary 1 year ago = 50 + 10% of 50 = 50 + 5 = 55
Lucky's present salary = 55 + 10% of 55 = 55 + 5.5 = 60.5

 

Lucky's present salary of 60.5 = 50% of Karthik's present salary of 121.

=> 1 shot doen't take any time in 12 min 

=> Only 6 shots take 12 min 

12 min ------ 6 shots 

90 min ------ ? shots

Q:

P, Q and R start simultaneously from A to B. P reaches B, turns back and meet Q at a distance of 11 km from B. Q reached B, turns back and meet R at a distance of 9 km from B. If the ratio of the speeds of P and R is 3:2, what is the distance between A and B ?

A) 99 B) 100
C) 89 D) 1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 99

Explanation:

Let, Distance between A and B = d

 

Distance travelled by P while it meets Q = d + 11

 

Distance travelled by Q while it meets P = d – 11

 

Distance travelled by Q while it meets R = d + 9

 

Distance travelled by R while it meets Q = d – 9

 

Here the ratio of speeds of P & Q => SP : SQ = d + 11 : d – 11

 

The ratio of speeds of Q & R => SQ : SR = d + 9 : d – 9

 

But given Ratio of speeds of P & R => P : R = 3 : 2

 SPSR = SPSQxSQSR = d+11d+9d-11d-9

 

=> d+11d+9d-11d-9 = 3/2

 

=>  d = 1, 99

 

=> d = 99 satisfies.

 

Therefore, Distance between A and B = 99
