Q:

The sum of the two digits of a number is 8. If the number is subtracted from the number obtained by reversing its digits, the result is 54. Find the number ?

A) 28 B) 19
C) 37 D) 17
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 17

Explanation:

Any two digit number can be written as (10P + Q), where P is the digit in the tens place and Q is the digit in the units place.
P + Q = 8 ----- (1)
(10Q + P) - (10P + Q) = 54
9(Q - P) = 54
(Q - P) = 6 ----- (2)
Solve (1) and (2) P = 1 and Q = 7
The required number is = 17

Q:

How much does a clock lose per day, if its hands coincide ever 65 minutes ?

A) 1440/143 min B) 184/13 min
C) 1425/18 min D) 541/9 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1425/18 min

Explanation:

55 min. spaces are covered in 60 min.
60 min. spaces are covered in ((60/55) x 60) min = 720/11 min.
Loss in 65 min. = (720/11 - 65 ) = 5/11
Loss in 24 hrs = (5/11 x 1/65 x 24 x 60)min = 1440/143 min.

Q:

K can build a wall in 30 days. L can demolish that wall in 60 days. If K and L work on alternate days, when will the wall be completed ?

A) 120 days B) 119 days
C) 118 days D) 117 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 117 days

Explanation:

K's work in a day(1st day) = 1/30
L's work in a day(2nd day)= -1/60(demolishing)
hence in 2 days, combined work= 1/30 - 1/60 =1/60
since both works alternatively, K will work in odd days and L will work in even days.
1/60 unit work is done in 2 days
58/60 unit work will be done in 2 x 58 days = 116 days
Remaining work = 1-58/60 = 1/30
Next day, it will be K's turn and K will finish the remaining 1/30 work.
hence total days = 116 + 1 = 117.

Q:

The series of differences between consecutive prime numbers is represented as Cp1, Cp2, Cp3, .... Cpn , Whare Cp1 is the difference between the second and the first prime number. Find the sum of series when n = 23, given that the 23rd prime number is 83 ? 

A) 87 B) 81
C) 83 D) 85
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 87

Explanation:

Cp1 = p2 - p1 ,
Cp2 = p3 - p2
..
..
..
Cp23 = p24 - p23
Sum of series = (p2-p1) + (p3-p2) + .....(p23-p22) + (p24-p23)
All terms get cancelled, except p1 = 2 and p24 = 89
So Sum = -p1 + p24
Sum of series = -2 + 89 = 87

Q:

Fact 1: All hats have brims.
Fact 2: There are black hats and blue hats.
Fact 3: Baseball caps are hats.

If the first three statements are facts, which of the following statements must also be a fact?
I. All caps have brims.
II. Some baseball caps are blue.
III. Baseball caps have no brims.

A) I only B) II only
C) I, II, and III D) None of the statements is a fact.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) None of the statements is a fact.

Explanation:

All baseball caps have brims, since baseball caps are hats (Fact 3) and all hats have brims (Fact 1). This rules out statement III—but it doesn’t follow that all caps, a category that may include caps that are not baseball caps, have brims (statement I). Statement II cannot be confirmed, either, since it is possible, given the information, that all baseball caps are black.

A) If only II follows B) If only I follows
C) If either I or II follows D) If neither I nor II follows
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) If only I follows

Explanation:

Once it is decided to place funds in the hands of the committee of local representatives, it is necessary to decide guidelines and norms for the functioning of the committee. Hence I follows. II is not related to the statement.
