Q:

X can complete the work in 10 days, Y can do the same in 15 days. If they are hired for 5 days to do the work together, what is the work that left unfinished?

A) 1/3	B) 2/3
C) 1/6	D) 5/6

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/6

Explanation:

Given X can do in 10 days

=> 1 day work of X = 1/10

Y can do in 15 days

=> 1 day work of Y = 1/15

1day work of (X + Y) = 1/10 + 1/15 = 1/6

Given they are hired for 5 days

=> 5 days work of (X + Y) = 5 x 1/6 = 5/6

Therefore, Unfinished work = 1 - 5/6 = 1/6

Q:

If a girl cycles at 10 kmph, then she arrives at a certain place at 1 p.m. If she cycles at 15 kmph, she will arrive at the same place at 11 a.m. At what speed must she cycle to get there at noon?

A) 14 kmph	B) 13 kmph
C) 12 kmph	D) 11 kmph

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12 kmph

Explanation:

The distance is constant in this case.

Let the time taken for travel with a speed of 10 kmph be 't'.

Now the speed of 15 kmph is 3/2 times the speed of 10 kmph.

Therefore, time taken with the speed of 15 kmph will be 2t/3 (speed is inversely proportional to time)

Extra time taken = t - 2t/3 = t/3

=> 1pm - 11am = 2hrs

=> t/3 = 2h

=> t = 6 hrs.

Now, Distance = speed x time = 10 x 6 = 60 kms

Time he takes to reach at noon = 6 - 1 = 5 hrs

Now, Speed = 60/5 = 12 kmph.

Q:

A Conical tent was erected by the army at a base camp with height 3 m and base diameter 10 m. If every person requires 3.92 cu.m air, then how many persons can be seated in that tent approximately?

A) 20	B) 19
C) 17	D) 22

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 20

Explanation:

Given height of the conical tent = 3 m

Diameter = 10 => Radius = D/2 = 10/2 = 5 m

Now, as the tent is in the conical form

Volume of the conical tent = $π r^{2} \frac{h}{3}$

=> (22 x 5 x 5 x 3) / (7 x 3)

= 22 x 25/7

= 78.54 cu.m

Given each person requires 3.92 cu.m of air

=> Number of persons can be seated in the tent = 78.54/3.92 = 20.03 =~ 20
