Q:

64 boys and 40 girls form a group for social work. During their membership drive, the same number of boys and girls joined the group. How many members does the group have now, if the ratio of boys to girls is 4:3 ?

A) 168 B) 201
C) 147 D) 154
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 168

Explanation:

Let us say x boys and x girls joined the group.

(64 + x)/(40 + x) = 4/3

192 + 3x = 160 + 4x => x = 32

Number of members in the group = 64 + x + 40 + x

= 104 + 2x = 168.

Q:

If price of rice increased by 25%, so that a man is can able to purchase 5 kg less rice in Rs. 500. Find the original price of rice per kg ?

A) Rs. 20 B) Rs. 24
C) Rs. 26 D) Rs. 29
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 20

Explanation:

Let the original price of rice be Rs. x

Let rice a man can buy for Rs. 500 at rs. x/kg be = R kgs

From given data, for Rs. 500

x ---- R kgs

(x + 25x/100) ---- (R - 5) kgs

=> Rx = (R - 5)(x + 25x/100)

=> Rx = (R - 5)(125x/100)

=> 100Rx = 125Rx - 625x

=> R = 25

So at rate of Rs. x/kg, man get 25 kgs for Rs. 500

=> x = 500/25 = Rs. 20

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:

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.
