Q:

50 men can build a tank in 40days, but though they begin the work together, 5 men quit every ten days. The time needed to build the tank is ?

A) 50 days	B) 48 days
C) 47.5 days	D) 49 days

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 50 days

Explanation:

50 men can build a tank in 40 days

Assume 1 man does 1 unit of work in 1 day

Then the total work is 50×40 = 2000 units

50 men work in the first 10 days and completes 50×10 = 500 units of work

45 men work in the next 10 days and completes 45×10 = 450 units of work

40 men work in the next 10 days and completes 40×10 = 400 units of work

35 men work in the next 10 days and completes 35×10 = 350 units of work

So far 500 + 450 + 400 + 350 = 1700 units of work is completed and

Remaining work is 2000 - 1700 = 300 units

30 men work in the next 10 days. In each day, they does 30 units of work.

Therefore, additional days required = 300/30 =10

Thus, total 10+10+10+10+10 = 50 days required.

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Firmware

Explanation:

The programs which are as permanent as hardware and stored in ROM are known as Firmware.

Data stored in ROM can only be modified slowly, with difficulty, or not at all, so it is mainly used to store firmware (software that is closely tied to specific hardware, and unlikely to need frequent updates) or application software in plug-in cartridges.

Q:

1 Billion Seconds Equals to

A) 34.76 years	B) 32.48 years
C) 33.31 years	D) 31.68 years

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 31.68 years

Explanation:

We know that 1 year = 365.25 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

=> 1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds

But 1 billion seconds = ?

1 Year = 365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60 Seconds

? = 1000000000 Seconds

$? = \frac{1000000000}{365.25 x 24 x 60 x 60} years$ = 31. 68 years.

Q:

At a certain rate of interest the compound interest of 3 years and simple interest of 5 years for certain sum of money is respectively Rs. 1513.2 and Rs. 2400. Find the common rate of interest per annum ?

A) 5%	B) 6%
C) 4%	D) 3%

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 5%

Explanation:

Given compound interest for 3 years = Rs. 1513.2

and simple interest for 5 years = Rs. 2400

Now, we know that C.I = $[P {(1 + \frac{R}{100})}^{n} - 1]$

=> 1513.2 = $[P {(1 + \frac{R}{100})}^{3} - 1]$ ...........(A)

And S.I = PTR/100

=> 2400 = P5R/100 ..................(B)

By solving (A) & (B), we get

R = 5%.

Q:

The circumferences of two circles are 264 meters and 352 meters. Find the difference between the areas of the larger and the smaller circles ?

A) 2413 sq.m	B) 1234 sq.m
C) 4312 sq.m	D) 2143 sq.m

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4312 sq.m

Explanation:

Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be 's' m and 'l' m respectively.

$2 πs$ = 264 and $2 πl$ = 352

s = $\frac{264}{2 π}$ and l = $\frac{352}{2 π}$

Difference between the areas = $π l^{2} - π s^{2}$

= $π (\frac{176^{2}}{π^{2}} - \frac{132^{2}}{π^{2}})$

= $\frac{1762}{π} - \frac{1322}{π}$

= (176 - 132)(176 + 132) / $π$

= (44 x 308) / (22/7) = 4312 sq.m
