Q:

Two pipes A and B can fill a cistern in 4 minutes and 6 minutes respectively . If these pipes are turned on alternately for 1 minute each how long will it take to the cistern to fill?

Answer

As the pipes are operating alternatively, thus their 2 minutes job is = $\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{12}$

In the next 2 minutes the pipes can fill another $\frac{5}{12}$ part of cistern.

Therefore, In 4 minutes the two pipes which are operating alternatively will fill $\frac{5}{12} + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{5}{6}$ Remaining part = $1 - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{1}{6}$

Pipe A can fill $\frac{1}{4}$ of the cistern in 1 minute

Pipe A can fill $\frac{1}{6}$ of the cistern in = $\frac{2}{3}$ min

Therefore, Total time taken to fill the Cistern

4 + $\frac{2}{3}$ minutes.

Q:

A and B can do a piece of work in 40 and 50 days. If they work at it an alternate days with A beginning in how many days, the work will be finished ?

Answer

(A+B)'s two days work = $\frac{1}{40} + \frac{1}{50} = \frac{9}{200}$

Evidently, the work done by A and B duing 22 pairs of days

i.e in 44 days = $22 \times \frac{9}{200} = \frac{198}{200}$

Remaining work = $1 - \frac{198}{200}$ = 1/100

Now on 45th day A will have the turn to do 1/100 of the work and this work A will do in $40 \times \frac{1}{100} = \frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, Total time taken = 44 $\frac{2}{5}$ daya

Q:

Divide Rs.6500 among A,B and C so that after spending 90% , 75% and 60% of their respective saving were in the ratio of 3: 5: 6

Answer

A's spending 90% $\inline \therefore$ saving = 10%

B's spending 75% $\therefore$ saving = 25%

C's spending 60% $\inline \therefore$ saving = 40%

Let us suppose A, B and C saves Rs. 3.5 and 6 respectively.

$\inline \therefore$ 10% of A's saving = Rs.3

100% of A's saving = $\inline \frac{3}{10}\times 100$ = Rs. 30

25% of B's saving = Rs. 5

100% of B's saving = $\inline \frac{5}{25}\times 100$ = Rs. 20

40% of C's saving = Rs.6

100% of C's saving = $\inline \frac{6}{40}\times 100$ = Rs. 15

Divide Rs. 6500 in the ratio of 30 : 20 : 15 as

A's Share = $\inline \frac{30}{65}\times 6500$ = Rs. 3000

B's Share = $\inline \frac{20}{65}\times 6500$ = Rs. 2000

C's Share = $\inline \frac{15}{65}\times 6500$ = Rs. 1500

Q:

The mean temperature of Monday to Wednesday was 37C and of Tuesday to Thursday was 34C . If the temperature on Thursday was (4/5) th that of Monday, the temperature on Thursday was?

Answer

$\inline \fn_jvn M+T+W =(37\times 3)^{0}=111^{0}C$ -----------(1)

$\inline \fn_jvn T+W+Th=(34\times 3)^{0}=102^{0}C$

$\inline \fn_jvn \Rightarrow T+W+\frac{4}{5}M = 102^{0}C$ --------------(2)

(1) - (2) gives

$\inline \fn_jvn \frac{1}{5}$ th of temperature on Monday = $111^{0}-102^{0}=9^{0}C$

$\inline \fn_jvn \Rightarrow$ Temperature on Monday = $\inline \fn_jvn 45^{0}C$

$\inline \fn_jvn \therefore$ Temperature on Thursday = $\inline \fn_jvn \frac{4}{5}\times 45^{0}=36^{0}$

Q:

A batsman makes a score of 87 runs in the 17th inning and thus increases his average by 3. Find his average after 17th inning?

Answer

Let the average after 7th inning = x

Then average after 16th inning = x - 3

16(x-3)+87 = 17x

x = 87 - 48 = 39

Q:

The average of 9 results is 50. The average of first four results is 52 and average of last four results is 49 . what is the fifth result?

Answer

Total of results = 50 x 9 = 450

Total of first four results = 52 x 4 = 208

Total of Last four results = 49 x 4 = 196

Hence the fifth result = 450 - (208 + 196) = 46

Q:

A man covers a journey from Meerut to Delhi by a car at an average speed of 40 km/hr. He returns back by scooter with an average speed 24 km/hr. Find his average speed during the whole journey?

Answer

Average speed = $\frac{2xy}{x+y}$ km/hr

= $\frac{2\times 40\times 24}{40+24}=30$ km/hr
