Q:

K, L and M can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days can K do the total work if he is assisted by L and M on every third day ?

A) 15 days B) 13 days
C) 12 days D) 10 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 15 days

Explanation:

In one day work done by K = 1/20

Work done by K in 2 days = 1/10

 

Work done by K,L,M on 3rd day =1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60 = 1/10

Therefore, workdone in 3 days is = 1/10 + 1/10 = 1/5

 

1/5th of the work will be completed at the end of 3 days.

The remaining work = 1 - 1/5 = 4/5

1/5 of work is completed in 3 days

Total work wiil be done in 3 x 5 = 15 days.

Q:

There are four consecutive even integers. Sum of the reciprocals of the first two number is (11/60). Find the reciprocal of third largest number of the series.

A) 1/12 B) 2/14
C) 1/14 D) 2/13
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1/14

Explanation:

Ans. C.
Let 4 consecutive even numbers are x, x+ 2, x+ 4, x+ 6
According to the question -
1/x + 1/x+2 = 11/60
x+2+x/ x(x+2) = 11/60
2(x+1)/x^2 + 2x = 11/60
120x + 120 = 11x 2 + 22x
11x 2 - 98x – 120 = 0
So ,
X = -24/22 , 10
X = -12/11 , 10
So, the numbers will be 10,12,14,16.
Hence,
Third largest number = 14
Reciprocal of third number = 1/14

Q:

A box contains 2 blue balls, 3 green balls and 4 yellow balls. In how many ways can 3 balls be drawn from the box, if at least one green ball is to be included in the draw?

A) 48 B) 24
C) 64 D) 32
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 64

Explanation:

Total number of balls = 2 + 3 + 4 = 9

Total number of ways 3 balls can be drawn from 9 = 9C3

No green ball is drawn = 9 - 3 = 6 = 6C3

Required number of ways if atleast one green ball is to be included = Total number of ways - No green ball is drawn

= 9C3 - 6C3

= 9x8x7/3x2  -  6x5x4/3x2

= 84 - 20

= 64 ways.
