Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

A Committee of 5 persons is to be formed from 6 gentlemen and 4 ladies by taking. 

(i) 1 lady out of 4 and 4 gentlemen out of 6 

(ii) 2 ladies out of 4 and 3 gentlemen out of 6 

(iii) 3 ladies out of 4 and 2 gentlemen out of 6 

(iv) 4 ladies out of 4 and 1 gentlemen out of 6 

In case I the number of ways = C14×C46 = 4 x 15 = 60 

In case II the number of ways = C24×C36 = 6 x 20 = 120 

In case III the number of ways = C34×C26 = 4 x 15 = 60

In case IV the number of ways = C44×C16 = 1 x 6 = 6 

Hence, the required number of ways = 60 + 120 + 60 + 6 = 246

Let t be the time after Kajol starts, when she meets Ajay, then 

               t = 300/(x+y) 

 This should be less than 2.5 or (x+y)>120 

Since       y= 3x/2  =>  y > 72

This (y>72) is greater than 67.5 km/h and hence Shahrukh will always overtake Ajay before he meets Kajol.

For an income of Re. 1 in 9% stock at 96, investment = Rs. 96/9 = Rs.32/3

For an income Re. 1 in 12% stock at 120, investment = Rs. 120/12 = Rs. 10.

Ratio of investments =(32/3) : 10 = 32 : 30 = 16 : 15.

Rainfall in Tamil Nadu is caused by the retreating monsoons which occur in winter. 

Volume of water collected in the tank in 1 hour

⇒ (0.3 × 0.2 × 20km × 1000mts) = 1200 m cubic

If after t hours, the water is at height of 12m,

1200t=200×150×12 

⇒ t = 300 Hours.

Most Himalayan rivers originating in Himalayan peaks are perennial because they are fed by the melting snow throughout the year.
