Q:

Den Bosch and Eastbourne are two famous cities 300 km apart. Maradona starts from Den Bosch at 8:24 am . An hour later pele starts from Den Bosch. After travelling for 1 hour , Pele reaches Nottingham that Maradona had passed 40 minutes earlier. Nottingham falls on the way from Den Bosch to Eastbourne. If pele and Maradona just reaches Eastbourne at the same time, what are thespeeds of the Maradona and Pele Respectively?

A) 100 km/h , 125 km/h	B) 60 km/h , 80 km/h
C) 60 km/h , 75 km/h	D) 75 km/h , 100 km/h

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 75 km/h , 100 km/h

Explanation:

Let Pele x km in 1 hour. so Maradona takes (2h-40min)=1 h 20 min to cover x km. Let speed of Maradona and Pele be M and P respectively than

x =M x (4/3) and x= P x 1

=> M/P = 3/4

Again $\frac{300}{M} = \frac{300}{P} = 1$

$\Rightarrow \frac{300}{3 k} - \frac{300}{4 k} = 1$

=> k= 25

M= 3k = 75 km/h and P= 4k = 100 km/h

( Through options it is very easy to solve)

Q:

In a public bathroom there are n taps 1,2,3...n. Tap1 and Tap2 take equal time to fill the tank while Tap3 takes half the time taken by Tap2 and Tap4 takes half the time taken by Tap3. Similarly each next number of tap takes half the time taken by previous number of Tap i.e, K-th Tap takes half the time taken by (K-1)th Tap. If the 10th tap takes 2 hours to fill the tank alone then what is the ratio of efficiency of 8th tap and 12th tap, respectively?

A) 4:1	B) 5:3
C) 16:1	D) 1:16

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1:16

Explanation:

Time taken by 8th tap = 2 x 2 x 2= 8 hours

Time taken by 12th tap = 2x (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/2 hour

Ratio of time taken by 8th tap and 12th tap = 8 : 1/2 =16:1

Therefore, Ratio of efficiencies of 8th tap and 12th tap =1:16

Q:

A tank has an inlet and outlet pipe. The inlet pipe fills the tank completely in 2 hours when the outlet pipe is plugged. The outlet pipe empties the tank completely in 6 hours when the inlet pipe is pluggeed.

If there is a lekage also which is capable of draining out the liquid from the tank at half of the rate of outet pipe,them what is the time taken to fill the emty tank when both the pipes are opened?

A) 3 hours	B) 4 hours
C) 5 hours	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4 hours

Explanation:

Rate of leakage = 8.33% per hour

Net efficiency = 50 - (16.66 + 8.33)= 25%

Time required = 100/25 = 4 hours

Q:

Application of Inverse Proportion

If 20 persons can do a piece of work in 7 days then calculate the number of persons require to complete the work in 28 days

Answer

Number of persons * days = work

20 * 7 = 140 man- days

Now, x * 28 = 140 men- days

=> x =5

Therefore in second case the required number of person is 5.

Second method:

Since work is constant, therefore M1 x D1= M2 x D2

20 x 7 = M2 x 28

=> M2 = 5
