Q:

A man has only 20-paise and 25-paise coins in a bag. If he has 50 coins in all totaling to Rs.10.25, then the number of 20-paise coins is 

A) 42 B) 45
C) 38 D) 36
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 45

Explanation:

Let number of 20 ps coins = x and

number of 25 ps coins = y

Given total coins in the bag = 50

x + y = 50.......(1)

But the total money in the bag = Rs. 10.25

0.20x + 0.25y = 10.25

20x + 25y = 1025.........(2)

Now multiplying (1) by 25 we get

25x+25y=1250.............(3)

By solving (2) and (3)

20x + 25y = 1025;

=> x = 45;

Then, the no. of 20 ps coins are 45.

Q:

Two boys are playing on a ground. Both the boys are less than 10 years old. Age of the younger boy is equal to the cube root of the product of the age of the two boys. If we place the digit representing the age of the younger boy to the left of the digit representing the age of the elder boy, we get the age of the father of the younger boy. Similarly, we place the digit representing the age of the elder boy to the left of the digit representing the age of the younger boy and divide the figure by 2, we get the age of the mother of the younger boy. The mother of the younger boy is younger than his father by 3 years. Then, what are the ages of elder and younger boys ?

A) E = 15 & Y = 3 B) E = 14 & Y = 12
C) E = 40 & Y = 22 D) E = 4 & Y = 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) E = 4 & Y = 2

Explanation:

Let the the age of the elder boy = E

 

Let the the age of the younger boy = Y

 

Given that Y = cube root of EY

 


=> Y3 = EY => E = Y2 .....(1)
By the condition of number replacement the age of the father is YE

 

The Mother's age = EY/2

 

But she is 3 years less than father => EY/2 + 3 = YE
2YE = EY + 6 ......(2)

 

Then now from the given options we can identify which satisfies the all the conditions.

 

Here Y =2 and E = 4 satisfies all the conditions.

Q:

A group of men can complete a job in K hours. After every 4 hours, half the number of men working at that point of time leave the job. Continuing this way if the job is finished in 16 hours, what is the value of K ?

A) 7 hrs B) 7.5 hrs
C) 8 hrs D) 8.25 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7.5 hrs

Explanation:

Let there are L men

job requires LK man hours.

 

job completed in first 4 hrs = L x 4 = 4L

job completed in next 4 hrs = 4 x L/2 = 2L

job completed in next 4 hrs = 4 x L/4 = L

job completed in last 4 hrs = 4 x L/8 = L/2

4L + 2L + L + L/2 = KL

K = 7+1/2 = 7.5 hours.

Q:

An express train takes 4 seconds to enter tunnel which is 1 km long. If it is traveling at 108 km an hour, how long will it take to pass completely through the tunnel ?

A) 33 sec B) 37.33 sec
C) 36.43 sec D) 32 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 37.33 sec

Explanation:

Speed = 108 km/hr
enter a tunnel,, means that the train covers a distance equal to its own length
so (108 x 5/18) = x/4 where x= length of train
hence x = 120 mtrs
to pass completely train has to travel a distance = (x + tunnel length) that is 1120 mtrs.
so (1120/t) = (108x5/18)
t = 37.33 sec

Q:

Population of a colony of mosquitoes is increasing by 20% per day. If the population on Monday was 3000, on which day of that week the population would be 5184 ?

A) Thursday B) Friday
C) Tuesday D) Monday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Thursday

Explanation:

Given monday population = 3000
Per day 20% increase in population.

Tuesday population = 3000 + 3000x20/100 = 3000 + 600 = 3600

Wednesday population =3600 + 3600x20/100 = 3600 + 720 = 4320

Thursday population = 4320 + 4320x20/100 = 4320 + 864 = 5184

So that day is Thursday.

Q:

Two parallel chords on the same side of the centre of a circle are 5 cm apart. If the chords are 20 and 28 cm long, what is the radius of the circle? 

A) 14.69 cm B) 15.69 cm
C) 18.65 cm D) 16.42 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 15.69 cm

Explanation:

circle11487663359.jpg image

Draw the two chords as shown in the figure. Let O be the center of the circle. Draw OC
perpendicular to both chords. That divides the two chords in half.
So CD = 10 and AB = 14. Draw radii OA and OD, both equal to radius r.
We are given that BC = 5, the distance between the two chords. Let
OB = x.

We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle ABO

AO² = AB² + OB²
r² = 14² + x²

We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle DCO

DO² = CD² + OC²

We see that OC = OB+BC = x+5, so

r² = 10² + (x+5)²

So we have a system of two equations:

r² = 14² + x²
r² = 10² + (x+5)²

Since both left sides equal r², set the right sides
equal to each other.

14² + x² = 10² + (x+5)²
196 + x² = 100 + x² + 10x + 25
196 = 125 + 10x
71 = 10x
7.1 = x

r² = 14² + x²
r² = 196 + (7.1)²
r² = 196 + 50.41
r² = 246.41
r = √246.41
r = 15.69745202 cm
