Q:

An industrial loom weaves 0.128 metres of cloth every second. Approximately, how many seconds will it take for the loom to weave 25 metre of cloth ?

A) 194 seconds	B) 195 seconds
C) 196 seconds	D) 197seconds

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 195 seconds

Explanation:

Let the time required by x seconds.

Then, More cloth means More time (Direct Proportion)

So, 0.128 : 1 :: 25 : x

$\Rightarrow x = \frac{1 \times 25}{0.128}$ => x = 195.31

So time will be approx 195 seconds

Q:

In a regular week, there are 5 working days and for each day, the working hours are 8. A man gets Rs. 2.40 per hour for regular work and Rs. 3.20 per hours for overtime. If he earns Rs. 432 in 4 weeks, then how many hours does he work for ?

A) 160	B) 175
C) 180	D) 195

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 175

Explanation:

Suppose the man works overtime for x hours.

Now, working hours in 4 weeks = (5 x 8 x 4) = 160.

Therefore, 160 * 2.40 + x * 3.20 = 432

=> 3.20x = 432 - 384 = 48

=> x = 15.

Hence, total hours of work = (160 + 15) = 175.

In an examination, a student scores 4 marks for every correct answer and loses I mark for every wrong answer. If he attempts in all 60 questions and secures 130 marks, the number of questions he attempts correctly, is:

A) 35	B) 38
C) 40	D) 42

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 38

Explanation:

Let the number of correct answers be X.

Number of incorrect answers = (60 – X).

Therefore, 4x – (60 – x) = 130

=> 5x = 190 => x = 38

$\frac{\frac{7}{2} \div \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{3}{2}}{\frac{7}{2} \div \frac{5}{2} o f \frac{3}{2}} \div 5.25$

A) 3/5	B) 3/6
C) 3/7	D) 3/8

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3/7

Explanation:

$\frac{\frac{7}{5} x \frac{3}{2}}{\frac{14}{15}} \div \frac{525}{100} \frac{9}{4} \div \frac{525}{100} \frac{900}{2100} = \frac{3}{7}$

Q:

Simplyfiy : $[3 \frac{1}{4} \div \{1 \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (2 \frac{1}{2} - (\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6}))\}]$

A) 78	B) 88
C) 98	D) 108

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 78

Explanation:

Given exp = $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{5}{2} - \frac{3 - 2}{12})\}]$ = $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{5}{2} - \frac{1}{12})\}]$

= $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{30 - 1}{12})\}]$ = $[\frac{13}{4} \div \{\frac{5}{4} - \frac{29}{24}\}]$

= $[\frac{13}{4} \div \frac{30 - 29}{24}]$ =78
