Q:

Two numbers are 20% and 30% less than the third number . How much percent is the second number less than first?

Answer

Let the third number be 100.


 


Then, the first number = 100 - 20 = 80 and second number = 100 - 30 = 70.


 


Difference between the first and second number = 80-70 = 10


 


\inline \therefore Required percentage = 1080 x 100% = 100/8 = 12.5%

Given that, 4198+612345+34866+2411+1


Now Power Cycle of

4 is 4, 6 

6 is 6 

8 is 8, 4, 2, 6

1 is 1

 

4198- 198 is even number , So the unit digit value is 6 

 

612345 - It is always 6

 

34866-  66/4 the remainder is 2 , So the second value is 4

 

2411- 11 is odd number, So the unit digit value is 4

Q:

Taps X and Y can fill a tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively.Tap Z can empty the filled tank in 60 minutes.If all the three taps are kept open for one minute each,how much time will the taps take to fill the tank?

A) 48min B) 72min
C) 24min D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 24min

Explanation:

Given taps X and Y can fill the tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively. Therefore,

 

part filled by tap X in 1 minute = 1/30

 

part filled by tap Y in 1 minute = 1/40

 

Tap Z can empty the tank in 60 minutes. Therefore,

 

part emptied by tap Z in 1 minute = 1/60

 

Net part filled by Pipes X,Y,Z together in 1 minute = [1/30 +1/40 - 1/60] = 5/120 = 1/24

 

i.e., the tank can be filled in 24 minutes.

Q:

Two dice are thrown simultaneously. What is the probability of getting two numbers whose product is even?

A) 3/4 B) 3/8
C) 5/16 D) 2/7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 3/4

Explanation:

In a simultaneous throw of two dice, we have n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36.

Then, E= {(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6), (3, 2), (3,4),(3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6, 1),6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)}

n(E) = 27.

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 27/36 = 3/4.
