Q:

There is certain numbers of toys in the box. They are divided into such a way that the person who gets 1/4 of the whole gets thrice of what the others get on an average. Find the number of people amongst whom the toys are distributed?

A) 8	B) 10
C) 12	D) 9

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 10

Explanation:

If the person who gets 1/4 of the whole gets thrice of what the others get on an average, each one will get =1/3×1/4=112 of the whole.
Therefore, if there are k persons other than the person who gets one-fourth, then 1/4 + k/12 = 1
⇒ k=9

Hence, total number of people = 10.

Q:

A train 800 metres long is running at a speed of 78 km/hr. If it crosses a tunnel in 1 minute, then the length of the tunnel (in meters) is :

A) 130	B) 360
C) 500	D) 540

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 500

Explanation:

Speed =[ 78 x ( 5/18 ) ] m/sec = 65/3 m/sec.

Time = 1 minute = 60 sec.

Let the length of the tunnel be x metres.

Then, [ (800 + x )/ 60 ]= 65/3

$\Rightarrow$ 3(800 + x) = 3900

$\Rightarrow$ x = 500.

Q:

A train travelling at a speed of 75 mph enters a tunnel $3 \frac{1}{2}$ miles long. The train is $\frac{1}{4}$ mile long. How long does it take for the train to pass through the tunnel from the moment the front enters to the moment the rear emerges?

A) 2.5 min	B) 3 min
C) 3.2 min	D) 3.5 min

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3 min

Explanation:

Total distance covered = $(\frac{7}{2} + \frac{1}{4})$ miles = $\frac{15}{4}$ miles

Time taken = $(\frac{15}{4 * 75})$ hrs = $\frac{1}{20}$ hrs = $(\frac{1}{20} * 60) m i n$ = 3 min

Q:

A train 110 metres long is running with a speed of 60 kmph. In what time will it pass a man who is running at 6 kmph in the direction opposite to that in which the train is going?

A) 5	B) 6
C) 7	D) 10

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6

Explanation:

Speed of train relative to man = (60 + 6) km/hr = 66 km/hr.

[66*(5/18)] m/sec = (55/3) m/sec

Time taken to pass the man = [110*(3/55)]m/sec = 6 sec.
