Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

Q:

There are eight poets, namely, A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H in respect of whom questions are being asked in the examination. The first four are ancient poets and the last four are modern poets. The question on ancient and modern poets is being asked in alternate years. Those who like H also like G, those who like D like C also. The examiner who sets question is not likely to ask question on D because he has written an article on him. But he likes D. Last year a question was asked on F. Considering these facts, on whom the question is most likely to be asked this year ?

Answer

Answer : C


Explanation : 


Since the examiner likes D, it means he must like C also, since the question states that those who like D like C also.


Since last year a question was asked on F, who is a modern poet, this year a question will be asked on an ancient poet which means A,B,C or D


Now the examiner is not likely to ask question on D because he has written an article on him. So he will ask the question on C since he likes C as well

Q:

10 men and 15 women together can complete a work in 6 days. It takes 100 days for one man alone to complete the same work. How many days will be required for one woman alone to complete the same work?

A) 215 days B) 225 days
C) 235 days D) 240 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 225 days

Explanation:

Given that

(10M + 15W) x 6 days = 1M x 100 days

=> 60M + 90W = 100M

=> 40M = 90W

=> 4M = 9W.

From the given data,

1M can do the work in 100 days

=> 4M can do the same work in 100/4= 25 days.

=> 9W can do the same work in 25 days.

=> 1W can do the same work in 25 x 9 = 225 days.

 

Hence, 1 woman can do the same work in 225 days.
