Q:

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is ?

A) 45 kmph B) 25 kmph
C) 30 kmph D) 50 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 kmph

Explanation:

Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec.
[(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr.
Let the speed of the train be 'S' km/hr.
Then, relative speed = (S - 5) km/hr.
S - 5 = 45 => S = 50 km/hr.

Q:

What is the first term of an arithmetic progression of positive integers ?

(I) Sum of the squares of the first and the second term is 116.

(II)The fifth term is divisible by 7.

A) Only a is sufficient B) Only b is sufficient
C) Both a & b are necessary D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Only a is sufficient

Explanation:

The sum of square of two no is 116 i.e no lie 1-11, because 11x11 =121 which is greater than 116
again after cheaking all possible pair of no only 4 and 10 satisfy this condsn , again the progression is of positive integer so 10 cant not be 1st term
so the 1st term is 4,
but from the 2nd we cant able to find the 1st term

so only 1st statement is sufficient to answer the question

Q:

Find the odd one out of the floowing number series?

270, 261, 279, 252, 289, 243

A) 270 B) 279
C) 289 D) 243
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 289

Explanation:

Here the given number series is 270, 261, 279, 252, 289, 243

270 - 9 = 261

261 + 18 = 279

279 - 27 = 252

252 + 36 = 288 (not equals to 289)

288 - 45 = 243

 

Hence, the odd number in the given number series is 289.

It is Charcoal which is black when we buy it or when not being used. It gets red in appearance when put in use means to say when burning. And eventually when it's been consumed by fire or after getting burned out or used up, changes into ashes which look grey in color.

Q:

The length of a rectangular hall is 5m more than its breadth. The area of the hall is 750 sq.m. The length of the hall is

A) 20 B) 25
C) 30 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 30

Explanation:

Let breadth = x m

 

Then, length = (x+5)m

 

Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth

 

x(x+5) = 750 

 

x² + 5x - 750= 0

 

(x+30)(x-25)= 0

 

x = 25 or x = -30

 

Hence, breadth x = 25m

 

=> Length = x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30m.

Q:

Find the odd man out of the following number sequence?

100, 101, 97, 105, 90

A) 90 B) 105
C) 97 D) 101
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 105

Explanation:

The given number series 100, 101, 97, 105, 90

100

100 + 1^2 = 101

101 - 2^2 = 97

97 + 3^2 = 106 ( not 105)

106 - 4^2 = 90

 

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 105.
