Q:

80 litres of diesel is required to travel 800 km using a 800 cc engine. If the volume of diesel required to cover a distance varies directly as the capacity of the engine, then how many litres of diesel is required to travel 1000 kms using 1200 cc engine ? 

A) 120 lit B) 140 lit
C) 110 lit D) 150 lit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 150 lit

Explanation:

To cover a distance of 800 kms using a 800 cc engine, the amount of diesel required = 80 litres.

=> the amount of diesel required to cover a distance of 1000 kms = 1000 x 80/800 = 100 litres

However, the vehicle uses a 1200 cc engine and it is given that the amount of diesel required varies directly as the engine capacity.

i.e., for instance, if the capacity of engine doubles, the diesel requirement will double too.

Therefore, with a 1200 cc engine, quantity of diesel required = 1200/800 x 100 = 150 litres.

Q:

An order was placed for the supply of a carpet whose breadth was 6 m and length was 1.44 times the breadth. What be the cost of a carpet whose length and breadth are 40% more and 25% more respectively than the first carpet. Given that the ratio of carpet is Rs. 45 per sq. m ?

A) Rs. 4082.40 B) Rs. 1024.21
C) Rs. 2810.6 D) Rs. 3214
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 4082.40

Explanation:

Length of the first carpet = (1.44)(6) = 8.64 cm

Area of the second carpet = 8.64(1 + 40/100) 6 (1 + 25/100)

= 51.84(1.4)(5/4) sq m = (12.96)(7) sq m

Cost of the second carpet = (45)(12.96 x 7) = 315 (13 - 0.04) = 4095 - 12.6 = Rs. 4082.40

Q:

In an election only two candidates contested. A candidate secured 70% of the valid votes and won by a majority of 172 votes. Find the total number of valid votes  ?

A) 446 B) 415
C) 404 D) 430
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 430

Explanation:

Let the total number of valid votes be 'V'.

70% of V = 70/100 x V = 7V/10

Number of votes secured by the other candidate = V - 7V/100 = 3V/10

Given, 7V/10 - 3V/10 = 172 => 4V/10 = 172

=> 4V = 1720 => V = 430.

Q:

The letters of the word CASTIGATION is arranged in different ways randomly. What is the chance that vowels occupy the even places ?

A) 0.04 B) 0.043
C) 0.047 D) 0.05
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 0.043

Explanation:

 Vowels are A I A I O, 

 

 C    A   S    T   I    G   A    T   I    O   N

 

(O) (E) (O) (E) (O) (E) (O) (E) (O) (E) (O)

 

So there are 5 even places in which five vowels can be arranged and in rest of 6 places 6 constants can be arranged as follows :

 

n(E)=5P52!*2!(A,I are 2 times)*6P62!(T is 2 times)=21600

 

n(S)=11!2!*2!*2!(A, I are 2 times)=4989600

 

216004989600=0.043
