Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

Let the length of the train be L metres and speeds of the train Arun and Sriram be R, A and S respectively, then 

       LR-A=36 ---------- (i) 

and LR+K=24 ---------(ii)

From eq.(i) and (ii)

              3(R - A ) = 2 (R + K) 

⇒  R = 3A + 2K 

In 30 minutes (i.e 1800 seconds), the train covers 1800R (distance) but the Arun also covers 1800 A (distance) in the same time. Therefore distance between Arun and Sriram, when the train has just crossed Sriram

               = 1800 ( R - A) - 24 ( A + K)

 Time required = 1800(R-A)-24(A+K)(A+K)

= (3600 - 24) = 3576 s                            

From figures (i) and (ii), it is clear that 4, 1, 3 and 6 he adjacent to 2. Therefore, 5 must lie opposite 2. Thus, if 5 is at the top, then 2 must be at the bottom.

Here the two pair of words related in such a way that, a blind can't see the light. Similarly, a dumb cannot speech.

Hence, Light : Blind :: Speech : Dumb.

Here from the given information,

The ratio of investments of Rajeev, Deepu & Shakti is

R : D : S = (10000 × 12) : (12000 × 10) : (7200 × 8)

= 25 : 25 : 12

Now the Profit = 2 × (72000-10000) = 124000

Share of Rajeev = 124000 x 25/62 = 48000

Profit of Rajeev = 48000 - 10000 = 38000

When 3 passengers income was 3x
expense= Rs.30 
profit =20% of 30 = Rs.6 
That means his earning is Rs.36. so that per passenger fare must be Rs.12.

When 4 passengers
earning = 12x4=Rs.48.
expense =Rs.24.
profit = Rs.24 = 100%

Arun has completed 13rd of the work in 8 days

Then he can complete the total work in

13 ---- 8

 1 ---- ?

= 24 days

But given Akhil is only 60% as efficient as Arun

Akhil =124×60100=140

Akhil can complete the total work in 40 days

Now, remaining 2/3rd of work can be completed in

 1  ------   40

23 ------   ?  

= 26.66 days.
