A) 22.12.91 B) 25.12.91
C) 24.12.91 D) 23.12.91
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 25.12.91

Explanation:

Given that 2.12.91 is the first Tuesday
Hence we can assume that 4.12.91 is the first Thursday

If we add 7 days to 4.12.91, we will get second Thursday
If we add 14 days to 4.12.91, we will get third Thursday
If we add 21 days to 4.12.91, we will get fourth Thursday

=> fourth Thursday = (4.12.91 + 21 days) = 25.12.91.

Q:

Two ships are sailing in the sea on the two sides of a lighthouse. The angle of elevation of the top of the lighthouse is observed from the ships are 30º and 45º respectively. If the lighthouse is 100 m high, the distance between the two ships is:

A) 173 m B) 200 m
C) 273 m D) 300 m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 273 m

Explanation:

 Let AB be the lighthouse and C and D be the positions of the ships.

 

 

Then, AB = 100m, ∠ACB = 30°and∠ADB =45°

 

ABAC=tan30°=13=>AC=AB*3=1003m

 

 

 ABAD=tan45°=1=>AD=AB=100m

CD=(AC+AD)=1003+100m=1003+1=100*2.73=273m

A) 1/20 B) 4/20
C) 1/20 D) 3/20
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3/20

Explanation:

Let A be the event of first person hitting the target,

P(A) =33+5=38  (odd in favour)

Let B be the event of Second person hitting a target.

P(B)=23+2=25 (odd against)

Since both events are independent and both will hit the target so,

P(A∩B)= P(A)P(B)=38×25=320

Q:

The total weight of a tin and the cookies it contains is 2 pounds. After ¾ of the cookies are eaten, the tin and the remaining cookies weigh 0.8 pounds. What is the weight of the empty tin in pounds?

A) 0.2 B) 0.3
C) 0.4 D) 0.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 0.4

Explanation:

Let the weight of the empty tin = w

(2 - w) = weight of the cookies; and one quarter of the cookies weigh (2 - w)/4

One quarter of the cookies + tin = 0.8 = w + (2 - w)/4

Multiply through by 4; 3.2 = 4w + 2 - w

1.2 = 3w; w = 0.4
