Q:

In a certain office, 1/3 of workers are women, 1/2 of the women are married and 1/3 of the married women have children. If 3/4  of the men are married and 2/3  of the married men have children, what part of the workers are without children?

A) 5/18 B) 4/9
C) 11/18 D) 17/36
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 11/18

Explanation:

Let the total number of workers be x. Then, 

 

Number of women = x/3 and number of men = x - x/3  = 2x/3

 

Number of women having children = x/18

 

Number of men having children = x/3

 

Number of workers having children = (x/18) + (x/3) = 7x/18

  

Therefore, workers having no children = x - 7x/18 = 11/18 of all workers.

Q:

A boat sails 15 km of a river towards upstream in 5 hours. How long will it take to cover the same distance downstream, if the speed of current is one-fourth the speed of the boat in still water:

A) 1.8h B) 3h
C) 4h D) 5h
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3h

Explanation:

Upstream speed = B-S

Downstream speed = B+s

B-S = 15/5 = 3 km/h

Again          B= 4S

Therefore    B-S = 3= 3S

=>             S = 1 and B= 4 km/h

Therefore    B+S = 5km/h

Therefore, Time during downstream = 15/5 = 3h
