Q:

If 6 engines consume 24 metric tonnes of coal, when each is working 8 hours day, how much coal will be required for 9 engines, each running 13hours a day, it being given that 2 engines of former type consume as much as 3 engines of latter type ?

A) 45 metric tonnes B) 47 metric tonnes
C) 55 metric tonnes D) 34 metric tonnes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 45 metric tonnes

Explanation:

2 engines of former type for one hour consumes (2 x 24)/(6 x8) = 1 metric ton 

i.e. 3 engines of latter type consumes 1 ton for one hour

Hence 9 engines consumes 3 tons for one hour

For 15 hours it is 15 x 3 = 45 metric tonnes.

Q:

The average age of 7 boys is increased by 1 year when one of tem whose age is replaced by a girl. What is the age of the girl ?

A) 33 yrs B) 27 yrs
C) 21 yrs D) 29 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 29 yrs

Explanation:

Let the avg age of 7 boys be 'p' years
Let the age of the girl be 'q' years
From given data,
The age of 7 boys = 7p years
Now the new average = (p + 1) when 22 yrs is replaced by q
Now the age of all 7 will become = 7(p + 1) yrs
Hence, 7p - 22 + q = 7(p + 1) yrs
7p - 22 + q = 7p + 7
q = 22 + 7 = 29

Therefore, the age of girl = q = 29 years.

Q:

What does one mole of H2O correspond to

A) 16 gms B) 18 gms
C) 20 gms D) 22 gms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 18 gms

Explanation:

The molar mass of H2O can be calculated as the following.

M(H2O)= [2 x M(H)] + [M(O)].

And we know that M(H) = 1g/mol, M(O) = 16g/mol.

So, M(H2O)= 2x1 + 16 = 18g/mol,

That means 1 mole of H2O contains 18g.

 

Hence, one mole of H2O corresponds to 18 grams.

Q:

Sum of present ages of P and Q is 41. Age of P 2 year hence is equal to age of R, 1 year ago. Age of P, 4 year hence is equal to age of Q 1 year ago and ratio of present age of P and S is 3 : 4. Find the difference of age of R and S. 

A) 2 B) 3
C) 4 D) 5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3

Explanation:

According to the given data,

P + Q = 41 ......(1)

R - 1 = P + 2

R = P + 3

and

P + 4 = Q - 1

=> Q = P + 5 ....(2)

From (1)&(2)

P = 18

Q = 18 + 5 = 23

R = 18 + 3 = 21

=> P/S = 3/4

=> S = 4/3 x 18 = 24

Required Difference = S - R = 24 - 21 = 3.

Q:

Lucky started working 2 years ago. Her starting salary was half of Karthik's salary at that time. Each year since then Lucky and Karthik have received a rise of 10% in their respective salary. What percentage (to the nearest percent) of Karthik's current salary is Lucky's current salary ?

A) 75% B) 22.5%
C) 35% D) 50%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50%

Explanation:

Let the salary of Karthik 2 years ago be Rs.100
So, Lucky's salary 2 years ago was Rs.50

 

Karthik's present salary has seen two 10 percent increases. So as Lucky's salary.

So, Karthik's salary 1 year ago = 100 + 10% of 100 = 100 + 10 = 110.
Karthik's present salary = 110 + 10% of 110 = 110 + 11 = 121.

 

Lucky's salary 1 year ago = 50 + 10% of 50 = 50 + 5 = 55
Lucky's present salary = 55 + 10% of 55 = 55 + 5.5 = 60.5

 

Lucky's present salary of 60.5 = 50% of Karthik's present salary of 121.
