Q:

48 people could complete a task in 17 days. After 6 days, 4 of the workers left. How many days from then will it take to complete the task?

A) 12 B) 13
C) 15 D) 16
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12

Explanation:

Given, 48 people can do a work in 17 days. So total work = 48 x 17 = 816
Work done by 48 people in 6 days = 288.

The remaining work = 816 - 288 = 528
After 6 days four workers left. So number of people working is 44
Total number of days required for 44 men to complete the remaining work = 528/44 = 12

Q:

Which of the following number is divisible by 24?

A) 37804 B) 2015736
C) 36718 D) 53810
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2015736

Explanation:

Divisibility rule for 24 is the number should be divisible by 3 and 8. As we know that 24 = 3 x 8

Now, 

Divisibility rule for 3 :

If the sum of the digits of a number is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3.

 

Divisibility rule for 8 :

The last three digits of a number should be divisible by 8.

Hence, check for the given options,

A) 37804 => 804 is not divible by 8.

C) 36718 => 718 is not divible by 8.

D) 53810 => 810 is not divible by 8.

B) 2015736 => 736 is divisble by 8 and sum 2 + 0 + 1 + 5 + 7 + 3 + 6 = 24 which is divisible by 3.

 

Hence, 2015736 is divisible by 24.

Q:

The present ages of Pranay and Sai are in the ratio of 15 : 17 respectively. After 6 years, the respective ratio between the age of Pranay and Sai will be 9 : 10. What will be the age of Pranay after 6 years?

A) 42 B) 36
C) 30 D) 24
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 36

Explanation:

Let present age of Pranay = 15p

That of Sai = 17p

ATQ,

15p + 6/17p + 6 = 9/10

=> 150p + 60 = 153p + 54

=> p = 2

Therefore, Age of Pranay after 6 yrs = 15 x 2 + 6 = 36 years.
