A man runs round a circular field of radius 50m at the speed of 12 km/hr. What is the time taken by the man to take twenty rounds of the field?

A) 220/7 min B) 110/7 min
C) 90/7 min D) 230/7 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 220/7 min

Explanation:

speed = 12 km/h = 12×518=103m/s 

 

distance covered = 20×2×227×50=440007m 

 

time taken  = distance /speed =  440007×310sec=4400×37×160min=2207min

Q:

Two trains are moving in opposite directions at 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1.10 km and 0.9 km respectively. The time taken by the slower train to cross the faster train in seconds is ?

A) 42 sec B) 44 sec
C) 46 sec D) 48 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 48 sec

Explanation:

Relative speed = 60 + 90 = 150 km/hr.

= 150 x 5/18 = 125/3 m/sec.

Distance covered = 1.10 + 0.9 = 2 km = 2000 m.

Required time = 2000 x 3/125 = 48 sec.

Q:

The breadth of a rectangular field is 60% of its length. If the perimeter of the field is 800 m.What is the area of the field?

A) 47500 B) 37500
C) 57500 D) 77500
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 37500

Explanation:

Let length = x meters, then breadth = 0.6x 

Given that  perimeter = 800 meters 

=> 2[ x + 0.6x] = 800 

=> x = 250 m 

Length = 250m and breadth = 0.6 x  250 = 150m 

Area = 250 x 150 = 37500 sq.m

Q:

The ratio of male and female in a city is 7 : 8 respectively and percentage of children among male and female is 25 and 20 respectively. If number of adult females is 156800, what is the total population of the city?

A) 4,12,480 B) 3,67,500
C) 5,44,700 D) 2,98,948
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3,67,500

Explanation:

Let the total population be 'p'

Given ratio of male and female in a city is 7 : 8

In that percentage of children among male and female is 25% and 20%

=> Adults male and female % = 75% & 80%

But given adult females is = 156800

=> 80%(8p/15) = 156800

=> 80 x 8p/15 x 100 = 156800

=> p = 156800 x 15 x 100/80 x 8

=> p = 367500

Therefore, the total population of the city = p = 367500
