Q:

At what time between 7 and 8 o'clock will the hands of a clock be in the same straight line but,not together?

A) (5 + 5/11 )min past 7	B) (6 + 5/11) min past 7
C) 7	D) 8

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) (5 + 5/11 )min past 7

Explanation:

When the hands of the clock are in the same straight line but not together, they are 30 minute spaces apart.
At 7 o'clock, they are 25 min. spaces apart.
$\therefore$ Minute hand will have to gain only 5 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.

5 min spaces are gained in $(\frac{60}{55} * 5)$ min = $5 \frac{5}{11}$ min

so, Required time = $5 \frac{5}{11}$ min past 7

Q:

Which Number would come in place of the underline mark in the series.

3, 9, 21, ___ , 93

A) 39	B) 45
C) 48	D) 51

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 45

First difference is 6 and second is 12. But if we take third as 18, then fourth difference will be 24. Then 93 can not be the last term.

Q:

A fires 5 shots to B's 3 but A kills only once in 3 shots while B kills once in 2 shots. When B has missed 27 times, A has killed :

A) 30 birds	B) 60 birds
C) 72 birds	D) 90 birds

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 30 birds

Explanation:

Let the no of shots be x. Then,

Shots fired by A =(5/8)x

Shots fired by B = (3/8)x

Killing shots by A = 1/3 of (5/8)x = (5/24)x

Shots missed by B = 1/2 of (3/8)x = (3/16)x

(3/16)x = 27 $\Rightarrow$ x =144

Birds killed by A = (5/24)x = (5/24)*144 = 30
