Q:

How many number of weights do you need to weight 31 kg of Rice if you have one kg of weight stone ?

A) 3 B) 5
C) 7 D) 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5

Explanation:

There are total 5 ways.
we have only one kg of weight so,
2kg = 1kg + 1kg
4kg = 1 + 2 + 1
8kg = 1 + 2 + 4 + 1
16kg = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 1
31kg = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16
So 5 weights are needed.

Q:

5 years ago Sushma was 5 times as old as her Son. 5 years hence her age will be 8 less than three times the corresponding age of her Son. Find their ages ?

A) 24 and 13 years B) 48 and 24 years
C) 35 and 11 years D) 33 and 15 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 35 and 11 years

Explanation:

Let the age of sushma be x and
the age of her son is y
Then five years before x-5=5(y-5) ...(1)
Five years hence x+5 = 3(y+5)-8 .....(2)

By soving (1) & (2), we get
5y - 15 = 3y + 7
y = 11 => x = 35

Therefore, the age of Sushma = 35 and her son = 11.

Q:

A batsman scores 26 runs and increases his average from 14 to 15. Find the runs to be made if he wants top increasing the average to 19 in the same match ?

A) 74 B) 79
C) 72 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 74

Explanation:

Number of runs scored more to increse the ratio by 1 is 26 - 14 = 12
To raise the average by one (from 14 to 15), he scored 12 more than the existing average.
Therefore, to raise the average by five (from 14 to 19), he should score 12 x 5 = 60 more than the existing average. Thus he should score 14 + 60 = 74.

Q:

A man spend Rs. 810 in buying trouser at Rs. 70 each and shirt at Rs. 30 each. What will be the ratio of trouser and shirt when the maximum number of trouser is purchased ?

A) 1:3 B) 2:1
C) 3:2 D) 2:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3:2

Explanation:

Let us assume S as number of shirts and T as number of trousers
Given that each trouser cost = Rs.70 and that of shirt = Rs.30
Therefore, 70 T + 30 S = 810
=> 7T + 3S = 81......(1)
T = ( 81 - 3S )/7

We need to find the least value of S which will make (81 - 3S) divisible by 7 to get maximum value of T
Simplifying by taking 3 as common factor i.e, 3(27-S) / 7
In the above equation least value of S as 6 so that 27- 3S becomes divisible by 7

Hence T = (81-3xS)/7 = (81-3x6)/7 = 63/7 = 9

Hence for S, put T in eq(1), we get
S = 81-7(9)/3 = 81-63 / 3 = 18/3 = 6.
The ratio of T:S = 9:6 = 3:2.
