Q:

Two typists of varying skills can do a typing jobin6 minutesifthey work together.Ifthe first typist typed alone for 4 minutes and then the second typist typed alone for 6 minutes, they would be left with 1/5 of the whole work.Howmany minutes would it take the slower typist to complete the typing job working alone?

A) 10 minutes B) 15 minutes
C) 12 minutes D) 20 minutes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 15 minutes

Explanation:

Working efficiency of both typist together = 100/6 = 16.66%

Let the efficiency of first typist be x and second typist be (16.66 –x)

First typist for 4 minute + second tyoistfor 6 minute = 80% work

⇒4x + (16.66 –x) X 6 = 80%

⇒4x + 100% -6x = 80%,

⇒x = 10%

First typist typed 10% per minute, second typst typed (16.66 –10) = 6.66% per minute

Slowest is second typist complete whole job in 100/6.66 = 15.01 = 15 minute

Q:

There are four consecutive even integers. Sum of the reciprocals of the first two number is (11/60). Find the reciprocal of third largest number of the series.

A) 1/12 B) 2/14
C) 1/14 D) 2/13
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/14

Explanation:

Ans. C.
Let 4 consecutive even numbers are x, x+ 2, x+ 4, x+ 6
According to the question -
1/x + 1/x+2 = 11/60
x+2+x/ x(x+2) = 11/60
2(x+1)/x^2 + 2x = 11/60
120x + 120 = 11x 2 + 22x
11x 2 - 98x – 120 = 0
So ,
X = -24/22 , 10
X = -12/11 , 10
So, the numbers will be 10,12,14,16.
Hence,
Third largest number = 14
Reciprocal of third number = 1/14

C) 960km D) 980km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 960km

Explanation:

Ans. 
Distance covered by 1st train in 4 hours = 80*4 = 320 km
Relative speed of 2nd train = 120-80 = 40 km
It will overtake another train in 320/40 = 8 hours
Distance between overtake point and station A = 8*120 = 960 km
