Q:

How many integers, greater than 999 but not greater than 4000, can be formed with the digits 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, if repetition of digits is allowed?

A) 376 B) 375
C) 500 D) 673
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 376

Explanation:

The smallest number in the series is 1000, a 4-digit number.

 

The largest number in the series is 4000, the only 4-digit number to start with 4. 

 

The left most digit (thousands place) of each of the 4 digit numbers other than 4000 can take one of the 3 values 1 or 2 or 3.

 

The next 3 digits (hundreds, tens and units place) can take any of the 5 values 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.

 

Hence, there are 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 or 375 numbers from 1000 to 3999.

 

Including 4000, there will be 376 such numbers.

Q:

The length of a rectangular hall is 5m more than its breadth. The area of the hall is 750 sq.m. The length of the hall is

A) 20 B) 25
C) 30 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30

Explanation:

Let breadth = x m

 

Then, length = (x+5)m

 

Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth

 

x(x+5) = 750 

 

x² + 5x - 750= 0

 

(x+30)(x-25)= 0

 

x = 25 or x = -30

 

Hence, breadth x = 25m

 

=> Length = x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30m.

Q:

In a zoo, there are rabbits and pigeons. If heads are counted, there are 340 heads and if legs are counted there are 1060 legs.How many pigeons are there?

A) 120 B) 150
C) 170 D) 180
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 150

Explanation:

Suppose there are all the pigeons then total no of heads are 340 and total no of legs are 680. 

 

Now, since 380 (1060-680) legs are extra, it means there will be 190 (380/2) rabbits.As we know a rabbit has two extra legs than that of a pigeon.

 

Therefore,  number of rabbits =190

 

and number of pigeons = 340- 190 = 150

A) 136 B) 146
C) 166 D) 176
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 176

Explanation:

area of the room = 544 x 374 sq.cm

size of largest square tile = H.C.F of 544cm and 374 cm= 34 cm

area of 1 tile = 34x34 sq cm

no. of tiles required = (544 x 374) / (34 x 34) = 176

Q:

At what time between 5.30 and 6 will the hands of a clock be at right angles?

A) (43 + 5/11) min past 5 B) (43 + 7/11) min pats 5
C) 5 D) 7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) (43 + 7/11) min pats 5

Explanation:

At 5 o'clock, the hands are 25 min. spaces apart.
To be at right angles and that too between 5.30 and 6, the minute hand has to gain (25 + 15) = 40 min. spaces.

 

55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min

 

40 min. spaces are gained in 6055×40 min
