Q:

How many rectangles can be drawn with 36 cm as the perimeter, given that the sides are positive integers in cm?

A) 8 B) 9
C) 10 D) 11
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9

Explanation:

Perimeter = 36


⇒ 2 ( l + w ) = 36


⇒ l + w = 18


Since length and width are positive integers in centimeters.

Therefore, possible dimensions are :


( 1, 17 )cm , ( 2, 16 ) cm , ( 3, 15 ) cm, (4 , 14) cm, ( 5,13) cm, ( 6, 12) cm , ( 7, 11) cm, ( 8, 10 ) cm, ( 9, 9) cm.


Hence, there are 9 rectangles.

Q:

Compound interest on a certain sum of money at 20% per annum for 2 years is Rs.5995. What is the SI on the same money at 8% per annum for 6 years ?

A) Rs. 5989 B) Rs. 6540
C) Rs. 7844 D) Rs. 6789
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 6540

Explanation:

Given C.I = 5984, R = 20% , T = 2yrs

 C.I = P1+201002-1

 

5984 = 

 

=> P = (5995x25)/11

 

P = Rs. 13625

 

Now S.I = PTR/100

 

SI = (13625 x 8 x 6)/100 = Rs. 6540

Q:

K and L starts walking towards each other at 4 pm at speed of 3 km/hr and 4 km/hr respectively. They were initially 17.5 km apart. At what time do they meet ?

A) 6:00 am B) 6:30 pm
C) 5:45 am D) 5:52 pm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6:30 pm

Explanation:

Suppose they meet after 'h' hours

Then

3h + 4h = 17.5

7h = 17.5

h = 2.5 hours

So they meet at => 4 + 2.5 = 6:30 pm

Q:

If Hema walks at 12 km/hr instead of 8 km/hr, she would have walked 20 km more. The actual distance travelled by Hema is ?

A) 40 kms B) 30 kms
C) 46 kms D) 32 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 40 kms

Explanation:

Let the actual distance travelled be x km.
Then x/8=(x+20)/12
=> 12x = 8x + 160
=> 4x = 160
=> x = 40 km.

Q:

A, B and C can do a piece of work in 72, 48 and 36 days respectively. For first p/2 days, A & B work together and for next ((p+6))/3days all three worked together. Remaining 125/3% of work is completed by D in 10 days. If C & D worked together for p day then, what portion of work will be remained?

A) 1/5 B) 1/6
C) 1/7 D) 1/8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/6

Explanation:

Total work is given by L.C.M of 72, 48, 36

Total work = 144 units

Efficieny of A = 144/72 = 2 units/day

Efficieny of B = 144/48 = 3 units/day

Efficieny of C = 144/36 = 4 units/day

 

According to the given data,

2 x p/2 + 3 x p/2 + 2 x (p+6)/3 + 3 x (p+6)/3 + 4 x (p+6)/3 = 144 x (100 - 125/3) x 1/100

3p + 4.5p + 2p + 3p + 4p = 84 x 3 - 54

p = 198/16.5

p = 12 days.

 

Now, efficency of D = (144 x 125/3 x 1/100)/10 = 6 unit/day

(C+D) in p days = (4 + 6) x 12 = 120 unit

Remained part of work = (144-120)/144 = 1/6.

Only genius can solve this puzzle?

genius_maths_puzzle1564054544.jpg image

A) 36 B) 40
C) 48 D) 60
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 48

Explanation:

In the given puzzle the logic is

2 x 1 + 1 = 2 + 1 = 3

3 x 2 + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8

4 x 3 + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15

5 x 4 + 4 = 20 + 4 = 24

6 x 5 + 5 = 30 + 5 = 35

Similarly,

7 x 6 + 6 = 42 + 6 = 48

7 = 48.
