Q:

16 women can do a piece of work in 10 days while 15 men can do the same work in 12 days. All men and all women work alternately starting with all men, then find the time taken by them to complete the whole work?

A) 10 5/2 days B) 11 days
C) 11 2/5 days D) 12 1/2 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 10 5/2 days

Explanation:

Let efficiency of every man and every woman be 'm' unit/day and 'w' unit/day respectively

15×12×m = 10×16×w

⇒ m/w = 8/9

Total work = 15 × 12 × 9 = 1620 units

In 2 days, total work done = 15 x 9 + 16 x 8 = 263 units

So, in 10 days work done will be = 263 × 5 = 1315 units

Remaining work will be done in = (1620-1315)/(15×8) = 5/2 days

Total days = 10 5/2 days.

Q:

The concentration of glucose in three different mixtures (glucose and alcohol) is 12,35 and 45 respectively. If 2 litres, 3 litres and 1 litre are taken from these three different vessels and mixed. What is the ratio of glucose and alcohol in the new mixture? 

A) 3:2 B) 4:3
C) 2:3 D) 3:4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 3:2

Explanation:

Concentration of glucose are in the ratio = 12:35:45

Quantity of glucose taken from A = 1 liter out of 2

Quantity of glucose taken from B = 3/5 x 3 = 1.5 lit

Quantity of glucose taken from C = 0.8 lit

So, total quantity of glucose taken from A,B and C = 3.6 lit

So, quantity of alcohol = (2 + 3 + 1) - 3.6 = 2.4 lit

Ratio of glucose to alcohol = 3.6/2.4 = 3:2

Q:

Ratio of water and milk in a container is 2 : 3. If 40 liter mixture removed from the container and same quantity of milk is added to it then the ratio of water to milk becomes 1 : 4. Find the initial quantity of mixture ?

 

A) 75 lit B) 80 lit
C) 85 lit D) 90 lit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 80 lit

Explanation:

From the given data,

let the initial quantity of the mixture = 5x

Then,

2x - 163x - 24 + 40 = 148x - 64 = 3x + 165x = 80x = 16 lit

 

Then the initial quantity of the mixture = 5x = 5 x 16 = 80 lit.

How many ways are there to deal a five-card hand consisting of three eight's and two sevens?

A) 36 B) 72
C) 24 D) 16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 24

Explanation:

If a card hand that consists of four Queens and an Ace is rearranged, nothing has changed.

 

The hand still contains four Queens and an Ace. Thus, use the combination formula for problems with cards.

 

We have 4 eights and 4 sevens.

We want 3 eights and 2 sevens.

C(have 4 eights, want 3 eights) x C(have 4 sevens, want 2 sevens) 

C(4,3) x C(4,2) = 24

 

Therefore there are 24 different ways in which to deal the desired hand.
