Q:

Three taps I, J and K can fill a tank in 20,30and 40 minutes respectively. All the taps are opened simultaneously and after 5 minutes tap A was closed and then after 6 minutes tab B was closed .At the moment a leak developed which can empty the full tank in 70 minutes. What is the total time taken for the completely full ?

A) 24.315 minutes B) 26.166 minutes
C) 22.154 minutes D) 24 minutes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 26.166 minutes

Explanation:

Upto first 5 minutes I, J and K will fill => 5[(1/20)+(1/30)+(1/40)] = 65/120


For next 6 minutes, J and K will fill => 6[(1/30)+(1/40)] = 42/120


So tank filled upto first 11 minutes = (65/120) + (42/120) = 107/120
So remaining tank = 13/120


Now at the moment filling with C and leakage @ 1/60 per minute= (1/40) - (1/70) = 3/280.
So time taken to fill remaining 13/120 tank =(13/120) /(3/280) = 91/6 minutes

 

Hence total time taken to completely fill the tank = 5 + 6 + 91/6 = 26.16 minutes.

Q:

Pooja, Shipra and Mounika are three sisters .Pooja and Shipra are twins. The ratio of sum of the ages of Pooja and Shipra is same as that of Mounika alone. Three years earlier the ratio of age of  Pooja and Mounika was 2:7 . what will be the age of Shipra 3 years hence?

A) 21 years B) 16 years
C) 8 years D) 12 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 8 years

Explanation:

Since Pooja and Shipra are twins so their ages be same. Let their ages be x and age of Mounika be y , then 

           x+x = y    -------(1) 

 and   x-3y-3=27⇒7x-2y=15 

 

Now, from  equation (1), 

         7x - 4x = 15  =>  x = 5

So the age of Shipra 3 years hence will be 5+3 = 8 years

Q:

The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4.15 is

A) 0 B) 37.5
C) 27 D) 15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 37.5

Explanation:

Angle between hands of a clock

 

When the minute hand is behind the hour hand, the angle between the two hands at M minutes past H 'o clock

 

=> 30H-M5+M2 degrees

 

Here H = 4, M = 15 and the minute hand is behind the hour hand.

 

Hence the angle

 

 = 30[4-(15/5)]+15/2 = 30(1)+7.5 = 37.5 degrees

Answer

1. Answer (c)


Each time we order 1, one apple is added to the basket but each time when 4 is ordered, one apple is removed from it.


Required number of apples = number of 1's - number of 4's = 6 - 4 = 2


2. Answer (d)


Each time we order 1, 2 or 3, one fruit is added to the basket but when ever we order 4, two fruits are removed from it.


Required number = Number of 1's + Number of 2's + Number of 3's - 2 x (Number of 4's)


= 6 + 6 + 7 - (2x4)
= 19 - 8
= 11.
