Q:

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'DETAIL' be arranged in such a way that the vowels occupy only the odd positions?

A) 36 B) 25
C) 42 D) 120
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 36

Explanation:

There are 6 letters in the given word, out of which there are 3 vowels and 3 consonants.

 

Let us mark these positions as under: 

                                                      (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) 

Now, 3 vowels can be placed at any of the three places out 4, marked 1, 3, 5.  

Number of ways of arranging the vowels = 3P3 = 3! = 6.

 

Also, the 3 consonants can be arranged at the remaining 3 positions. 

Number of ways of these arrangements = 3P3 = 3! = 6. 

Total number of ways = (6 x 6) = 36.

Q:

36 men can complete a piece of work in 18 days. In how many days will 27 men complete the same work ?

A) 24 days B) 28 days
C) 34 days D) 35 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 24 days

Explanation:

Less Men, means more Days {Indirect Proportion}

Let the number of days be x then,

27 : 36 :: 18 : x


[Please pay attention, we have written 27 : 36 rather than 36 : 27, in indirect proportion, if you get it then chain rule is clear to you :)]                                

=>27x = 36 * 18

=> x = 24

 So 24 days will be required to get work done by 27 men.
