Q:

Wheels of diameters 7cm and 14cm start rolling simultaneously from x & y which are 1980 cm apart towards each other in opposite directions. Both of them make the same number of revolutions per second. If both of them meet after 10seconds.The speed of the smaller wheel is

A) 22m/s B) 33m/s
C) 44m/s D) 55m/s
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 22m/s

Explanation:

let each wheel make x revolutions per sec. Then2π*72*x+2π*7*x*10=19802*227*72*x+2*227*72*x=198

 66x=198 

distance moved by smaller wheel in 3 revolutions 

=2*227*72*3=66cm 

speed of smaller wheel = 663 m/s = 22m/s

Q:

A solid cube of side 6 is first painted pink and then cut into smaller cubes of side 2. How many of the smaller cubes have paint on exactly 2 sides?

A) 30 B) 24
C) 12 D) 8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12

Explanation:

When the larger cube is cut into smaller cubes, the corner cubes will have paint on three sides. The cubes in the middle of the faces will have paint on only one side, but the cubes cut from the edges will have paint on two sides. In this case, there will be only one cube one each edge (excluding the corners), and since there are 12 edges, there will be 12 cubes with paint on two sides.

Q:

The price of commodity X increases by 40 paise every year, while the price of commodity Y increases  by 15 paise every year. If in 2001, the price of commodity X was Rs. 4.20 and that of Y was Rs. 6.30, in which year commodity X will cost 40 paise more than the commodity?

A) 2010 B) 2011
C) 2012 D) 2013
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2011

Explanation:

Suppose commodity X wil cost 40 paise more than Y after Z  years. Then,

        (4.20 + 0.40Z) - (6.30 + 0.15Z) = 0.40

=>  0.25Z = 0.40 + 2.10  => Z= 2.50/0.25 = 10

Therefore, X will cost 40 paise more than Y 10  years after 2001 . i.e in 2011
