Q:

The respective ratio between the speed of a bike, a van  and lorry is 3 : 5 : 2. The speed of the van is 250 percent of the speed of the lorry which covers 360 km in 12 hours. What is the average speed of the bike and the van together?

A) 60 kmph B) 62 kmph
C) 64 kmph D) 63 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 60 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of lorry = 36012 = 30 kmph

Speed of van =250100 x 30 = 75 kmph

Speed of bike = 35 x 75 = 45 kmph

Therefore, now required average speed of bike and van  = 75 + 452= 60 kmph.

Q:

For how many integer values of n will the value of the expression 4n + 7 be an integer greater than 1 and less than 200?

A) 48 B) 49
C) 50 D) 51
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 50

Explanation:

1 < 4n + 7 < 200

n can be 0, or -1

n cannot be -2 or any other negative integer or the expression 4n + 7 will be less than1.

The largest value for n will be an integer < (200 - 7) /4

193/4 = 48.25, hence 48

The number of integers between -1 and 48 inclusive is 50

Q:

6 pumps of kirlosker can fill a tank in 7 days and 2 similar pumps of USHA can fill the same tank in 18 days. what is the ratio of the efficiency of a kirlosker pump and a USHA pump?

A) 6:7 B) 7:6
C) 7:54 D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6:7

Explanation:

The number of days required by a single kirlosker pump to fill the tank = 6 x 7 =42 days and the number of days required by a single USHA pump to fill the same tank = 2 x 18 =36 days.

Now , since efficiency is inversely proportional to the number of days. Hence,

Efficiency of one K - pumpEfficiency of U- pump=3642=67

Q:

K and L start the business, with L investing the total capital of Rs. 40,000 on the condition that K pays L interest @ 8% per annum on his half of the capital. L is a working partner and receives Rs.1200 per month from the total profit and any profit reamaining is equally shared by both of them. At the end of the year, it was found that the income of L is twice that of K. Find the total profit for the year ?

A) Rs.44000 B) Rs.46400
C) Rs.480800 D) Rs.46000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs.46400

Explanation:

Interest received by L from K = 8% of half of Rs.40,000  

8100×20000=1600  

 

Amount received by L per annum for being a working partner = 1200 x 12 = Rs.14,400

 

Let 'A' be the part of remaing profit that 'L' receives as his share.

 

 Total income of 'K' = only his share from the reamaing profit

 

                              = 'A', as both share equally.

 

Given income of L = Twice the income of K

 

--> (1600 + 14400 + A ) = 2A

--> A= Rs.16000

Thus total profit = 2A + Rs.14,400= 2(16000) + 14400 

                                                  = 32000 +14400 = Rs.46,400.

Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y. Then, (10x + y) - (x + y) = 9 or x = 1.

From this data we cannot find  y, the unit's digit. So the data is inadequate..
