Q:

6 men can complete a piece of work in 12 days. 8 women can complete the same piece of work in 18 days whereas 18 children can complete the piece of work in 10 days. 4 men, 12 women and 20 children work together for 2 days. If only men were to complete the remaining work in 1 day how many men would be required totally?

A) 38 B) 72
C) 36 D) 76
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 36

Explanation:

Given 4men, 12 women and 20 children work for  2 days.

Workdone for 2 days by 4men, 12 women and 20 children = 4 x 26 x 12 + 12 x 28 x 18 + 20 x 218 x 10 = 12

Therefore, remaining work = 1 - 12 = 12

To complete the same work by only men in 1 day,

We know that M1 x D1 = M2 x D2

Here M1 = 6 , D1 = 12 and M2 = M , D2 = 1

12 x 6 = M x 1

=> M = 12 x 6 = 72

=> But the remaining work = 1/2

Men required => 1/2 x 72 = 36

Only men required to Complete the remaining work in 1 day = 36.

Q:

A garrison of 2000 men has provisions for 54 days. At the end of 15 days, a reinforcement arrives, and it is now found that the provisions will last only for 20 days more. What is the reinforcement ?

A) 1900 B) 2100
C) 1700 D) 2000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1900

Explanation:

Given 2000 ---- 54 days

The provisions for 2000 men for 39 days can be completed by 'm' men for only 20 days.

i.e, 2000 ----- 39 days == m ---- 20 days

=> m x 20 = 2000 x 39

m = 3900

So total men for 20 days is 3900

=> 2000 old and 1900 new reinforcement.

Hence, reinforcement = 1900.

Q:

The perimeter of a square is equal to twice the perimeter of a rectangle of length 8cm and breadth 7cm. What is the circumference of a semicircle whose diameter is equal to the side of the square ?

A) 55.12 cm B) 22.54 cm
C) 42.51 cm D) 38.57 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 38.57 cm

Explanation:

We know that perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b) = 2(8+7)= 30cm
Given perimeter of square is twice the perimeter of rectangle = 2(30) = 60cm
Therefore, side of the square is = 1/4 x 60 = 15cm
Circumference of the required semicircle = πr + 2r = 227× 152 + 2×152 = 23.57 + 15 = 38.57cm.

Q:

5/9 of the part of the population in a village are females. If 30 % of the females are married. The percentage of unmarried males in the total males is ?

A) 62.5 % B) 125 %
C) 84.32 % D) 46.87 %
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 62.5 %

Explanation:

Let total population = p
number of females = 5p/9
number of males =(p-5p/9) = 4p/9
married females = 30% of 5p/9 = 30x5p/100x9 = p/6
married males = p/6
unmarried males =(4p/9-p/6) = 5p/18
Percentage of unmarried males in the total males = {(5p/18)/4p/9}x100 = (5p/18)x(9/4p) = 125/2 % = 62.5%

Q:

Find the total numbers greater than 4000 that can be formed with digits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 no digit being repeated in any number ?

A) 120 B) 256
C) 192 D) 244
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 192

Explanation:

We are having with digits 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 and numbers greater than 4000 are to be formed, no digit is repeated.

 

The number can be 4 digited but greater than 4000 or 5 digited.

 

Number of 4 digited numbers greater than 4000 are
4 or 5 or 6 can occupy thousand place => 3 x P34 = 3 x 24 = 72. 

 

5 digited numbers = P55 = 5! = 120 

So the total numbers greater than 4000 = 72 + 120 = 192
