Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

Three digit number will have unit’s, ten’s and hundred’s place.

Out of 5 given digits any one can take the unit’s place.

This can be done in 5 ways. ...              (i)

After filling the unit’s place, any of the four remaining digits can take the ten’s place.

This can be done in 4 ways. ...              (ii)

After filling in ten’s place, hundred’s place can be filled from any of the three remaining digits.

This can be done in 3 ways. ... (iii) 

So,by counting principle, the number of 3 digit numbers = 5x 4 x 3 = 60

Here,n = 4(children)

P(girl)= 0.5

P(of atleast one girl)= 1 - P(no girls)

                             = 1 - 0.0625 = 0.9375

Assume that the number is taken as XYZ.
Condition 1 => Z = sq.root(x) => Possible digits of X is 1,4,9
Condition 2 => Y = X + Z
X Y Z
1 2 1
4 6 2
9 12 3 => (wrong because it is 4 digit.)

and 121 is not divisible by 2

The answer is 462.

10C5 x 28C1 x 10C6 = 7266

Passive Voice : Has the work been completed by him?

Rules in changing from Active voice to Passive voice :

1. Identify the subject, the verb and the object: S+V+O

2. Change the object into subject

3. Put the suitable helping verb or auxiliary verb

4. Change the verb into past participle of the verb

5. Add the preposition "by"

6. Change the subject into object.

Sol : In this kind of questions we find the work force required to complete the work in 1 day (or given unit of time) then we equate the work force to find the relationship between the efficiencies (or work rate) between the different workers.

Therefore, 6B+8G = 6 days

 => 6(6B+8G)= 1 day  (inversely proportional)

 => 36B+48G =1         ( by unitary method)

Again  14B+10G = 4days

 => 56B+40G =1

so, here it is clear that either we employ 36B and 48G to finish the work in 1 day or 56B and 40G to finish the same job in 1 day. thus , we can say

 => 36B+48G = 56B+40G

 => G= 2.5B

Thus a Girl is 2.5 times as efficient as a boy.

Now, since  36B+48G = 1

 => 36B+48(2.5 B)=1

 =>156B=1

i.e., to finish the job in 1 day 156 boys are required or the amount of work is 156 boys-days

Again    1G+1B=2.5B+1B=3.5B

Now, since 156 boys can finish the job in 1 day

so 1 boy can finish the job in 156 days

Therefore, 3.5 boys can finish the job in 1×1563.5= 47 days.

K's 1 day's salary = 1/10
L's 1 day's salary = 1/15
Together their 1 day's salary = 1/10 + 1/15
= 3/30 + 2/30
= 5/30
= 1/6
So the money will be enough for paying them both for 6 days.
