Q:

4 mat-weavers can weave 4 mats in 4 days. At the same rate, how many mats would be woven by 8 mat-weavers in 8 days?

A) 4	B) 8
C) 12	D) 16

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 16

Explanation:

Let the required number of bottles be x.

More weavers, More mats (Direct Proportion)

More days, More mats (Direct Proportion)

$W a v e r s 4 : 8 D a y s 4 : 8$ :: 4:x

4 x 4 x x = 8 x 8 x 4

=> x= $\frac{8 * 8 * 4}{4 * 4}$

=> x = 16.

Q:

If the price of 23 toys is 276, then what will the price of 12 toys ?

A) 144	B) 148
C) 156	D) 186

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 144

Explanation:

Less toys, Less Price (Direct Proportion)
So, let the price be Rs. x
then,

23:12::276:x => x=(276*12)/23

=> x=144

So price of 12 toys will be Rs. 144

Q:

Two ships are sailing in the sea on the two sides of a lighthouse. The angle of elevation of the top of the lighthouse is observed from the ships are 30º and 45º respectively. If the lighthouse is 100 m high, the distance between the two ships is:

A) 173 m	B) 200 m
C) 273 m	D) 300 m

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 273 m

Explanation:

Let AB be the lighthouse and C and D be the positions of the ships.

Then, AB = 100m, $∠ A C B = 30 ° a n d ∠ A D B = 45 °$

$\frac{A B}{A C} = \tan 30 ° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = > A C = A B * \sqrt{3} = 100 \sqrt{3 m}$

$\frac{A B}{A D} = \tan 45 ° = 1 = > A D = A B = 100 m$

CD=(AC+AD)= $(100 \sqrt{3} + 100) m = 100 (\sqrt{3} + 1) = 100 * 2.73 = 273 m$

The cube root of .000216 is:

A) .6	B) .06
C) 77	D) 87

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) .06

Explanation:

${(. 000216)}^{\frac{1}{3}} = {(\frac{216}{10^{6}})}^{\frac{1}{3}} = {[\frac{6 * 6 * 6}{10^{2} * 10^{2} * 10^{2}}]}^{\frac{1}{3}} = [\frac{6}{10^{2}}] = 0.06$

Q:

A, B and C start at the same time in the same direction to run around a circular stadium. A completes a round in 252 seconds, B in 308 seconds and c in 198 seconds, all starting at the same point. After what time will they again at the starting point ?

A) 26 minutes and 18 seconds	B) 42 minutes and 36 seconds
C) 45 minutes	D) 46 minutes and 12 seconds

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 46 minutes and 12 seconds

Explanation:

L.C.M. of 252, 308 and 198 = 2772.

So, A, B and C will again meet at the starting point in 2772 sec. i.e., 46 min. 12 sec.

Q:

The least number which when divided by 5, 6 , 7 and 8 leaves a remainder 3, but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder, is:

A) 1677	B) 1683
C) 2523	D) 3363

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1683

Explanation:

L.C.M. of 5, 6, 7, 8 = 840.

Required number is of the form 840k + 3

Least value of k for which (840k + 3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2.

Required number = (840 x 2 + 3) = 1683.
