Q:

A motor boat takes 12 hours to go downstream and it takes 24 hours to return the same distance. what is the time taken by boat in still water?

A) 15 h	B) 16 h
C) 8 h	D) 20 h

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 16 h

Explanation:

If t1 and t2 are the upstream and down stream times. Then time taken in still water is given by

$\frac{2 \times t 1 \times t 2}{t 1 + t 2} = \frac{2 \times 12 \times 24}{36} = 16 h$

Q:

A train overtakes two girls who are walking in the opposite direction in which the train is going at the rate of 3 km/h and 6km/h and passes them completely in 36 seconds and 30 seconds respectively. The length of the train is:

A) 120m	B) 150m
C) 125m	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 150m

Explanation:

Let the length of the train e x meter, and let the speed of train be y km/h, then

$x = (y + 3) \times \frac{5}{18} \times 36$ --------(1) and

$x = (y + 6) \times \frac{5}{18} \times 30$ ---------(2)

From eq (1) and (2), we get

y = 12 km/h

Therefore, $x = (y + 3) \times \frac{5}{18} \times 36$ => x= 150 m

Q:

A person goes to his office at 1/3rd of the speed at which he returns from his office. If the average speed during the whole trip is 12 m /h . what is the speed of the person while he was going to his office?

A) 10	B) 6
C) 8	D) can't be determined

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 8

Explanation:

u = k , v= 3k

$∴ \frac{2 u v}{u + v} \Rightarrow \frac{2 \times k \times 3 k}{(k + 3 k)} = 12$ => k = 8km/h

T C B

16 10 15

8 12 12

128 120 180 <------- in one hour

1280 1200 1800 <------- in 10 hours

Since, restriction is imposed by composers i.e,since only 1200 books can be composed i 10 hours so not more than 1200 books can be finally pepared.

Q:

Relation Between Efficiency and Time

A is twice as good a workman as B and is therefore able to finish a piece of work in 30 days less than B.In how many days they can complee the whole work; working together?

Answer

Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1 : 2.

The time difference is (2 - 1) 1 day while B take 2 days and A takes 1 day.

If difference of time is 1 day, B takes 2 days.

If difference of time is 30 days, B takes 2 x 30 = 60 days.

So, A takes 30 days to do the work.

A's 1 day's work = 1/30

B's 1 day's work = 1/60

(A + B)'s 1 day's work = 1/30 + 1/60 = 1/20

A and B together can do the work in 20 days.

Q:

What are your goals for the next five years / ten years?

Answer

The best way to respond to the interview question "What are your goals for the future?"

Don't discuss your goals for returning to school or having a family, they are not relevant and could knock you out of contention for the job. Rather, you want to connect your answer to the job you are applying for. Examples of good responses include:

=> My long-term goals involve growing with a company where I can continue to learn, take on additional responsibilities, and contribute as much of value as I can.

=> I see myself as a top performing employee in a well-established organization, like this one. I plan on enhancing my skills and continuing my involvement in (related) professional associations.

=> Once I gain additional experience, I would like to move on from a technical position to management.

=> In the XYZ Corporation, what is a typical career path for someone with my skills and experiences?
