Q:

Three taps I, J and K can fill a tank in 20,30and 40 minutes respectively. All the taps are opened simultaneously and after 5 minutes tap A was closed and then after 6 minutes tab B was closed .At the moment a leak developed which can empty the full tank in 70 minutes. What is the total time taken for the completely full ?

A) 24.315 minutes B) 26.166 minutes
C) 22.154 minutes D) 24 minutes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 26.166 minutes

Explanation:

Upto first 5 minutes I, J and K will fill => 5[(1/20)+(1/30)+(1/40)] = 65/120


For next 6 minutes, J and K will fill => 6[(1/30)+(1/40)] = 42/120


So tank filled upto first 11 minutes = (65/120) + (42/120) = 107/120
So remaining tank = 13/120


Now at the moment filling with C and leakage @ 1/60 per minute= (1/40) - (1/70) = 3/280.
So time taken to fill remaining 13/120 tank =(13/120) /(3/280) = 91/6 minutes

 

Hence total time taken to completely fill the tank = 5 + 6 + 91/6 = 26.16 minutes.

Q:

The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand of a clock when the time is 4.15 is

A) 0 B) 37.5
C) 27 D) 15
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 37.5

Explanation:

Angle between hands of a clock

 

When the minute hand is behind the hour hand, the angle between the two hands at M minutes past H 'o clock

 

=> 30H-M5+M2 degrees

 

Here H = 4, M = 15 and the minute hand is behind the hour hand.

 

Hence the angle

 

 = 30[4-(15/5)]+15/2 = 30(1)+7.5 = 37.5 degrees

Q:

Amith can row a boat d km upstream and the same distance downstream in 5 hours 15 minutes. Also, he can row the boat 2d km upstream in 7 hours. How long will it take to row the same distance 2d km downstream for Amith ?

A) 4 hrs 10 min B) 3 hrs 15 min
C) 3 hrs 30 min D) 4 hrs 1 min
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3 hrs 30 min

Explanation:

Let the speed of boat and stream be x and y kmph respectively.

According to question

d/x+y + d/x-y = 5h 15m or 21/4 hrs ......(i)

and 2d/x-y = 7...... (ii)

From eq. (i) and (ii)

2d/x+y = 7/2

Hence, Amith will take to row 2d km distance downstream in 7/2 hrs

= 3.5 hrs

= 3 hrs 30 min.

1 2 3 3 2 1 4 2 3 1 4 2 2 3 3 1 4 1 1 3 2 3 4


1. How many apples will be there in the basket at the end of the above order sequence ?
      (a) 4     (b) 3     (c) 2    (d) 1


2. How many fruits will be there in the basket at the end of the above order sequence ?
      (a) 13   (b) 17   (c) 9    (d) 11

Answer

1. Answer (c)


Each time we order 1, one apple is added to the basket but each time when 4 is ordered, one apple is removed from it.


Required number of apples = number of 1's - number of 4's = 6 - 4 = 2


2. Answer (d)


Each time we order 1, 2 or 3, one fruit is added to the basket but when ever we order 4, two fruits are removed from it.


Required number = Number of 1's + Number of 2's + Number of 3's - 2 x (Number of 4's)


= 6 + 6 + 7 - (2x4)
= 19 - 8
= 11.

Q:

A certain sum is invested at simple interest at 18% p.a. for two years instead of investing at 12% p.a. for the same time period. Therefore the interest received is more by Rs. 840. Find the sum  ?

A) Rs. 5858 B) Rs. 8800
C) Rs. 7000 D) Rs. 6350
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 7000

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs. S.
(S x 18 x 2)/100 - (S x 12 x 2)/100 = 840 => 36S/100 - 24S/100 = 840

=> 12S/100 = 840 => S = 7000.
