Q:

A is 3 times faster than B. If A can finish a work 32 days less than that of B, find the number of days need to finish the work if both are working together?

A) 12 days B) 24 days
C) 32 days D) 16 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 12 days

Explanation:

It is given that efficiency ratio =3:1

so time ratio will be 1:3 (since work is same)

 

Also given that time diff = 32 days. ratio difference = 3-1 =2 

2 ratio = 32 days

1 ratio = 16 days.

So A will alone finish it in 16 days and B will finish it in 16*3 = 48 days.

 

Total work = LCM of 16 and 48 = 48.

Total time = Total work/Total efficiency 

ie; 48/4= 12 days.

Q:

A number when divided by 779 gives a remainder 47. By dividing the same number by 19, what would be the remainder?

Answer

Number = ( 779 x a) + 47, where "a" is the quotient


           = (19 x 41 x a) + (19 x 2) + 9


           = 19 x (41a + 2) + 9


           = 19 x (New quotient) + 9


\inline \fn_jvn \therefore  Required remainder = 9

Q:

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'THERAPY' be arranged so that the vowels never come together?

A) 1440 B) 720
C) 2250 D) 3600
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3600

Explanation:

Given word is THERAPY.

Number of letters in the given word = 7

These 7 letters can be arranged in 7! ways.

Number of vowels in the given word = 2 (E, A)

The number of ways of arrangement in which vowels come together is 6! x 2! ways

 

Hence, the required number of ways can the letters of the word 'THERAPY' be arranged so that the vowels never come together = 7! - (6! x 2!) ways = 5040 - 1440 = 3600 ways.
