Q:

A single pipe of diameter x has to be replaced by six pipes of diameters 12 cm each. The pipes are used to covey some liquid in a laboratory. If the speed/flow of the liquid is maintained the same then the value of x is ?

A) 14.69 cm B) 29.39 cm
C) 18.65 cm D) 22.21 cm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 29.39 cm

Explanation:

Volume of water flowing through 1 pipe of diameter x = Volume discharged by 6 pipes of diameter 12 cms.

 

As speed is same, area of cross sections should be same. 

 

Area of bigger pipe of diameter x = Total area of 6 smaller pipes of diameter 12 

i.e πR2 = 6πR12   

Here R = R and R1 = 12/2 = 6   

R2 = 6×6×6   

R = 14.696   

=> D = X = 14.696 * 2 = 29.3938 cm.

Q:

Vinod have 20 rupees. He bought 1, 2, 5 rupee stamps. They are different in numbers by the reason of no change, the shop keeper gives 3 one rupee stamps. So how many stamps Vinod have ?

A) 10 B) 18
C) 12 D) 15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10

Explanation:

Given total rupees = 20 Rs
No. of one rupee stamps = 3
Now, remaining money = Rs. 17
With that he buys only 2 and 5 rupee stamps
Let number of Rs. 5 stamps = K
Let number of Rs. 2 stamps = L
5K + 2L = 17
K = 3, L = 1 (possible)
L = 6, K = 1 (possible)
=> But given that they are different in number so, K is not equal to 3
one rupee stamps = 3
2 two stamps = 6
5 rupee stamps = 1
Total number of stamps = 10.

Q:

There are 3 sections with 5 questions each. If four questions are selected from each section, the chance of getting different questions is ?

A) 1000 B) 625
C) 525 D) 125
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 125

Explanation:

Methods for selecting 4 questions out of 5 in the first section = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1/4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 5. Similarly for other 2 sections also i.e 5 and 5


So total methods = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125.

Q:

A farmer divides his herd of k cows among his 4 sons, so that one son gets one half of the herd, the second gets one-fourth, the third gets one-fifth and the fourth gets 9 cows. Then k is equal to ?

A) 160 B) 120
C) 140 D) 180
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 180

Explanation:

Given total number of cows = k
Now, 1st son share = k/2
2nd son share = k/4
3rd son share = k/5
4th son share = 9

(k) + (k/4) + (k/5) + 9 = k
=> k - (19k/20) = 9
=> (20k-19k)/20 = 9
=> k = 180.

A) 404 B) 585
C) 415 D) 602
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 415

Explanation:

Given numbers are 585 546 514 404 206 369
Then interchanging the 1st and 3rd digits of the given numbers, we get
585 645 415 404 602 963
Now, arranging them in ascending order
963 645 602 585 415 404

Q:

In a mixture of milk and water the proportion of water by weight was 75%. If in 60 gm of mixture 15 gm water was added, what would be the percentage of water ? (Weight in gm)

A) 80% B) 70%
C) 75% D) 62%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 80%

Explanation:

Water in 60 gm mixture=60 x 75/100 = 45 gm. and Milk = 15 gm.

 

After adding 15 gm. of water in mixture, total water = 45 + 15 = 60 gm and weight of a mixture = 60 + 15 = 75 gm.

 

So % of water = 100 x 60/75 = 80%.

Q:

The average of the ages of Sushanth, Krish and Rishi is 43 years and the average of the ages of Sushanth, Rishi and Rohit is 49 years. If Rohit is 54 years old, what is Krish's age ?

A) 34 years B) 26 years
C) 24 years D) 36 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 36 years

Explanation:

Let present ages of Sushanth = w, Krish = x, Rishi = y and Rohit = z , then
w + x + y = 43 x 3 = 129 ---(i) and
w + y + z = 49 x 3 = 147 ---(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), (w+y+z) - (w+x+y) = 147 - 129 , z - x = 18 ---(iii)
Given Rohit's age=z=54, so from (iii), x = 54 - 18 = 36.
Therefore, Krish age is 36 years.

Q:

In a certain coding language, iF GO = 32 & SHE = 49 then SOME will be equal to ?

A) 56 B) 58
C) 62 D) 64
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 56

Explanation:

If we count letters till the end of the alphabet including that letter in reverse order then
Here the values are nothing but the values corresponding to the alphabets when taken in a reverse order,i.e,A=26 ,B=25...,Z=1
G = 20 and O = 12 totaling 32
S = 8, H = 19 and E = 22 totaling 49

So
SOME = 8 + 12 + 14 + 22 = 56.
