Q:

There are three boats B1, B2 and B3 working together they carry 60 people in each trip. One day an early morning B1 carried 50 people in few trips alone. When it stopped carrying the passengers B2 and B3 started carrying the people together. It took a total of 10 trips to carry 300 people by B1, B2 and B3. It is known that each day on an average 300 people cross the river using only one of the 3 boats B1, B2 and B3. How many trips it would take to B1, to carry 150 passengers alone?

A) 15 B) 30
C) 25 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 15

Explanation:

Combined efficiency of all the three boats = 60 passenger/trip 

 

Now, consider option(a)

 

15 trips and 150 passengers means efficiency  of B1 =  10 passenger/trip 

 

which means in carrying 50 passengers B1 must has taken 5 trips. So the rest trips equal to 5 (10-5 = 5) in which B2 and B3 together carried remaining 250 (300 - 50 = 250) Passengers.

 

Therefore the efficiency of B2 and B3 = 250/5 = 50 passenger/trip  

 

Since, the combined efficiency of B1, B2 and B3 is 60. Which is same as given in the first statement hence option(a) is correct.

Q:

How many seconds in 10 years?

A) 31523500 sec B) 315360000 sec
C) 315423000 sec D) 315354000 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 315360000 sec

Explanation:

We know that,

1 year = 365 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds.

 

Then, 1 year = 365 x 24 x 60 x 60 seconds.

= 8760 x 3600

1 year = 31536000 seconds.

 

Hence, 10 years = 31536000 x 10 = 315360000 seconds.

If 5th March, 2005 is Monday, what was the day of the week on 5th March, 2004 ?

A) Sunday B) Monday
C) Tuesday D) Wednesday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Sunday

Explanation:

The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.

But, Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from March 2004 to March 2005. So it has 1 odd day only.

The day on 5th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 5th March, 2004.

Given that, 5th March, 2005 is Monday.

5th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 5th March, 2005).
