Q:

A sum at simple interest at 1312% per annum amounts to Rs. 2502.50 after 4 years. Find the sum

A) Rs.1625 B) Rs1525
C) Rs.1425 D) Rs.1325
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs.1625

Explanation:

 Let sum be Rs.x then, S.I. =Rs. [ x * (27/2) * 4 * (1/100) ] = Rs. 27x/50 

 

Amount =Rs [ x + (27x/50)] = Rs.77x/50 

 

=> 77X/50 = 2502.50  

 

=>X= (2502.50 * 50)/77 = 1625 

 

Hence Sum = Rs.1625

Q:

If a number 72k23l is divisible by 88. Then find value of k and l ?

A) k=8 & l=2 B) k=7 & l=2
C) k=8 & l=3 D) k=7 & l=1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) k=7 & l=2

Explanation:

If a number to be divisile by 88, it should be divisible by both "8" and "11"

Check for '8' :
For a number to be divisible by "8", the last 3-digit should be divisible by "8"
Here 72x23y --> last 3-digit is '23y'
So y=2 [ (i.e) 232 is absolutely divisible by "8"]

Chech for '11' :
For a number to be divisible by "11" , sum of odd digits - sum of even digits should be divisible by "11"
(7 + x + 3) - (2 + 2 + y)
(7 + x + 3) - (2 + 2 + 2)
(10 + x) - 6 should be divisible by "11"
for x = 7
=> 17 - 6 = 11 [ which is absolutely divisible by "11"]

So x = 7 , y= 2.

Q:

Two girls ate dinner together.

 After that they both ordered iced tea. One girl drank them very fast and had finished five in the time it took the other to drink just one.

The girl who drank one died while the other survived. However, all of the drinks that were served turned out to contain poison.

 

How did the girl who drank the most survive?

Answer

The poison was in the ice. When the girl drank the iced tea, the ice was still fully frozen. Gradually, as the ice cubes melted the poison was released into the drink.


 


Hence, the girl who died, drunk the tea after the ice melted. So, she was died.

Q:

A rectangular plot measuring 90 metres by 50 metres is to be enclosed by wire fencing. If the poles of the fence are kept 5 metres apart, how many poles will be needed?

A) 56m B) 65m
C) 34m D) 36m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 56m

Explanation:

Length of the wire fencing = perimeter = 2(90 + 50) = 280 metres

Two poles will be kept 5 metres apart. Also remember that the poles will be placed along the perimeter of the rectangular plot, not in a single straight line which is very important.

 

Hence number of poles required = 280 / 5 = 56
