Q:

If x and y are the two digits of the number 653xy such that this number is divisible by 80, then x+y is equal to ?

A) 5	B) 4
C) 3	D) 2

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2

Explanation:

Since 653xy is divisible by 5 as well as 2, so y = 0.
Now, 653x0 must be divisible by 8.
So, 3x0 must be divisible by 8. This happens when x = 2
x + y = (2 + 0) = 2.

Q:

A cube is painted blue on two adjacent surfaces and black on the surfaces opposite to blue surfaces and green on the remaining faces .Now the cube is cut into 216 smaller cubes of equal size.

A) 56	B) 48
C) 32	D) 64

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 64

Explanation:

We know that Cubes with no surface painted can be find using ${(x - 2)}^{3}$ , where x is number of cuttings. Here x=6.

$∴ {(6 - 2)}^{3} = 64$

Q:

K and L start the business, with L investing the total capital of Rs. 40,000 on the condition that K pays L interest @ 8% per annum on his half of the capital. L is a working partner and receives Rs.1200 per month from the total profit and any profit reamaining is equally shared by both of them. At the end of the year, it was found that the income of L is twice that of K. Find the total profit for the year ?

A) Rs.44000	B) Rs.46400
C) Rs.480800	D) Rs.46000

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.46400

Explanation:

Interest received by L from K = 8% of half of Rs.40,000

$\Rightarrow \frac{8}{100} \times 20000 = 1600$

Amount received by L per annum for being a working partner = 1200 x 12 = Rs.14,400

Let 'A' be the part of remaing profit that 'L' receives as his share.

Total income of 'K' = only his share from the reamaing profit

= 'A', as both share equally.

Given income of L = Twice the income of K

--> (1600 + 14400 + A ) = 2A

--> A= Rs.16000

Thus total profit = 2A + Rs.14,400= 2(16000) + 14400

= 32000 +14400 = Rs.46,400.

Q:

5 sin(x)+ 12 cos(x) + r is always greater than or equal to zero. What is the smallest value satisfied by 'r' ?

A) -13	B) 11
C) 13	D) -11

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 13

Explanation:

Given,

5sinx + 12cosx ≥ -r

$\Rightarrow 13 (\frac{5}{13} \sin x + \frac{12}{13} \cos x) \geq - r$ cosx) ≥ -r

$\frac{5}{13}$ = cosA => sinA = $\frac{12}{13}$

=> 13(sinx cosA + sinA cosx) ≥ -r

=> 13(sin(x + A)) ≥ -r

we know that , -1 ≤ sin (angle) ≤ 1

=> 13sin (x + A) ≥ -13 $\Rightarrow r_{m i n} = 13$

Q:

The profit earned by selling an article for Rs.753 is equal to the loss incurred when the same article is sold for Rs.455.What should be the sale price for making 50% profit ?

A) Rs.855	B) Rs.955
C) Rs.906	D) Rs.896

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs.906

Explanation:

Let C.P =Rs. x

Then as given, (753 - x ) = (x - 455)

=>2x = 1208 => x = 604

There fore S.P= 150% of 604 => Rs. $\frac{150}{100} \times 604$ = Rs.906

Q:

A room is 6 meters 24 centimeters in length and 4 meters 32 centimeters in Width. Find the least number of square tiles of equal size required to cover the entire floor of the room.

A) 107	B) 117
C) 127	D) 137

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 117

Explanation:

Let us calculate both the length and width of the room in centimeters.

Length = 6 meters and 24 centimeters = 624 cm

width = 4 meters and 32 centimeters = 432 cm

As we want the least number of square tiles required, it means the length of each square tile should be as large as possible.Further,the length of each square tile should be a factor of both the length and width of the room.

Hence, the length of each square tile will be equal to the HCF of the length and width of the room = HCF of 624 and 432 = 48

Thus, the number of square tiles required = (624 x 432 ) / (48 x 48) = 13 x 9 = 117
