Q:

Two typists of varying skills can do a typing jobin6 minutesifthey work together.Ifthe first typist typed alone for 4 minutes and then the second typist typed alone for 6 minutes, they would be left with 1/5 of the whole work.Howmany minutes would it take the slower typist to complete the typing job working alone?

A) 10 minutes B) 15 minutes
C) 12 minutes D) 20 minutes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 15 minutes

Explanation:

Working efficiency of both typist together = 100/6 = 16.66%

Let the efficiency of first typist be x and second typist be (16.66 –x)

First typist for 4 minute + second tyoistfor 6 minute = 80% work

⇒4x + (16.66 –x) X 6 = 80%

⇒4x + 100% -6x = 80%,

⇒x = 10%

First typist typed 10% per minute, second typst typed (16.66 –10) = 6.66% per minute

Slowest is second typist complete whole job in 100/6.66 = 15.01 = 15 minute

Q:

Solve the triangle b=36 a=38 c=18 for perimeter of the triangle?

A) 74 units B) 92 units
C) 56 units D) 54 units
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 92 units

Explanation:

We know, the perimeter of a triangle = sum of all the sides of a triangle = a + b + c

 

Here given that sides a = 38, b= 36 and c = 18

solve_the_triangle_b36_a38_c181537423406.jpg image

 

Now, perimeter of the triangle = a + b + c = 38 + 36 + 18 = 92 units.
