Q:

Divide Rs.118000 among three persons A, B and C such that the ratio of the shares of A and B is 3:4 and that of B:C is 5:6 ?

A) A = 48000 B = 40000 C = 30000 B) A = 30000 B = 40000 C = 48000
C) A = 30000 B = 48000 C = 40000 D) A = 40000 B = 48000 C = 30000
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) A = 30000 B = 40000 C = 48000

Explanation:

Compound ratio of A:B:C
A:B = 3:4
B:C = 5:6
----------
A:B:C = 15:20:24

We can divide Rs.118000 in this ratio.

Share of A = 15/59 x 118000 = 30000

Share of B = 20/59 x 118000 = 40000

Share of C = 24/59 x 118000 = 48000

Q:

Three dice are thrown together.Find the probability of getting a total of atleast 6.

A) 103/216 B) 103/108
C) 103/36 D) 36/103
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 103/108

Explanation:

Total number of events=6 x 6 x 6=216
Let A be the event of getting a total of atleast 6 and B denoted event of getting a total of less than 6 i.e.,3,4,5.

So,B={(1,1,1),(1,1,2),(1,2,1),(2,1,1),(1,1,3),(1,3,1),(3,1,1),(1,2,2),(2,1,2),(2,2,1)}

Favourable number of cases=10

Therefore,P(B)=10/216

=> P(A) = 1 - P(B)

             = 1 - (10/216) = 103/108

Q:

Oct 1st 1994 falls on which day?

A) Sunday B) Saturday
C) Friday D) Wednesday
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Saturday

Explanation:

1 Oct, 1994 = (1993 years + Period from 1.1.1993 to 1.10.1993)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 300 years = 1

93 years = (70 ordinary years + 23 leap year) = (70 x 1 + 23 x 2)= 4 odd days

Jan  Feb  March  April  May  June  July  Aug  sept  Oct

(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 1 ) = 274 days

274 days = (39 weeks + 1 day) =1 odd day.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 4 + 1) = 6 odd days.

Given day is Saturday.

Q:

A man walks at a speed of 2 km/hr and runs at a speed of 6 km/hr. How much time will the man require to cover a distance of 20 1/2 km, if he completes half of the distance, i.e., (10 1/4) km on foot and the other half by running ?

A) 12.4 hrs B) 11.9 hrs
C) 10.7 hrs D) 9.9 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 11.9 hrs

Explanation:

We know that

Time = Distance/speed
Required time = (10 1/4)/2 + (10 1/4)/6
= 41/8 + 41/6
= 287/24 = 11.9 hours.

Q:

Find the lowest 4-digit number which when divided by 3, 4 or 5 leaves a remainder of 2 in each case ?

A) 1020 B) 1040
C) 1060 D) 1022
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1022

Explanation:

Lowest 4-digit number is 1000.
LCM of 3, 4 and 5 is 60.
Dividing 1000 by 60, we get the remainder 40. Thus, the lowest 4-digit number that exactly divisible by 3, 4 and 5 is 1000 + (60 - 40) = 1020.
Now, add the remainder 2 that's required. Thus, the answer is 1022.
