Q:

Two concentric circles form a ring. The inner and outer circumferences of ring are  5187m and 3527 m respectively. Find the width of the ring.

A) 4 B) 5
C) 6 D) 7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 4

Explanation:

Let the inner and outer radii be r and R metres.

 

Then  2πR=3527=>R=3527*722*12=8m 

 

 2πR=5287=>R=5287*722*12=12m

 

=> Width of the ring = (R - r) = (12 - 8) m = 4 m.

Q:

In how many ways can 5 different toys be packed in 3 identical boxes such that no box is empty, if any of the boxes may hold all of the toys?

A) 15 B) 10
C) 25 D) 20
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 25

Explanation:

The toys are different; The boxes are identical
If none of the boxes is to remain empty, then we can pack the toys in one of the following ways
a. 2,2,1
b. 3,1,1

Case a. Number of ways of achieving the first option 2−2–1

Two toys out of the 5 can be selected in5C2 5 ways. Another 2 out of the remaining 3 can be selected in3C2 ways and the last toy can be selected in 1C1  way.

However, as the boxes are identical, the two different ways of selecting which box holds the first two toys and which one holds the second set of two toys will look the same. Hence, we need to divide the result by 2.

Therefore, total number of ways of achieving the 2−2–1 option is:

5C2*3C22=10*32=15 ways.

Case b. Number of ways of achieving the second option 3−1–1

Three toys out of the 5 can be selected in 5C3  ways. As the boxes are identical, the remaining two toys can go into the two identical looking boxes in only one way.
Therefore, total number of ways of getting the 3−1–1 option is5C3=10 ways.

Total ways in which the 5 toys can be packed in 3 identical boxes
=number of ways of achieving Case a + number of ways of achieving Case b
=15 + 10 = 25 ways

Q:

If the letters of the word CHASM are rearranged to form 5 letter words such that none of the word repeat and the results arranged in ascending order as in a dictionary what is the rank of the word CHASM ?

A) 32 B) 24
C) 72 D) 36
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 32

Explanation:

The 5 letter word can be rearranged in 5!=120 Ways without any of the letters repeating.

The first 24 of these words will start with A.

Then the 25th word will start will CA _ _ _.
The remaining 3 letters can be rearranged in 3!=6 Ways. i.e. 6 words exist that start with CA.

The next word starts with CH and then A, i.e., CHA _ _.
The first of the words will be CHAMS. The next word will be CHASM.

Therefore, the rank of CHASM will be 24+6+2= 32

Q:

The difference between two parallel sides of a trapezium is 4 cm. perpendicular distance between them is 19 cm. If the area of the trapezium is 475 find the lengths of the parallel sides.

A) 27 and 23 B) 24 and 23
C) 25 and 23 D) 22 and 23
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 27 and 23

Explanation:

Let the two parallel sides of the trapezium be a cm and b cm. 

Then, a - b = 4 

And, 12×a+b×19=475=>a+b=50 

Solving (i) and (ii), we get: a = 27, b = 23. 

So, the two parallel sides are 27 cm and 23 cm.

Q:

Compute the sum of 4 digit numbers which can be formed with the four digits 1,3,5,7, if each digit is used only once in each arrangement.

A) 105555 B) 106665
C) 106656 D) 108333
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 106656

Explanation:

The number of arrangements of 4 different digits taken 4 at a time is given by 4P4 = 4! = 24.All the four digits will occur equal number of times at each of the position,namely ones,tens,hundreds,thousands.

 

 

 

Thus,each digit will occur 24/4 = 6 times in each of the position.The sum of digits in one's position will be 6 x (1+3+5+7) = 96.Similar is the case in ten's,hundred's and thousand's places.

 

 

 

Therefore,the sum will be 96 + 96 x 10 + 96 x 100 + 96 x 100 = 106656

Q:

Find the area of a triangle whose sides measure 13 cm, 14 cm and 15 cm.

A) 84 B) 64
C) 44 D) 22
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 84

Explanation:

Let a = 13, b = 14 and c = 15. Then, s=12a+b+c=21

 (s- a) = 8, (s - b) = 7 and (s - c) = 6.


Area =ss-as-bs-c =21×8×7×6 = 84 sq.cm

Q:

A room is half as long again as it is broad. The cost of carpeting the at Rs. 5 per sq.m is Rs. 270 and the cost of papering the four walls at Rs. 10 per sq.m is Rs. 1720. If a door and 2 windows occupy 8 sq. m, find the dimensions of the room.

A) b=6; l=18; H=6 B) b=5; l=6; H=18
C) l=6; b=18; H=15 D) l=5; b=18; H=18
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) b=6; l=18; H=6

Explanation:

Let breadth = x metres, length = 3x metres, height = H metres. 

Area of the floor=(Total cost of carpeting)/(Rate) = (270/5) sq.m = 54 sq.m 

x×3x2=54x2=54×2x=6  

So, breadth = 6 m and length =362 = 9 m.

Now, papered area = (1720/10) =  172 sq.m 

Area of 1 door and 2 windows = 8 sq.m 

Total area of 4 walls = (172 + 8) sq.m = 180 sq.m 

2×9+6H=180H=6
