Q:

In a class 60% of the students pass in English and 45% pass in Hindi. If 25% of them pass in both subjects, what percentage of the students fail in both the subjects?

A) 20% B) 25%
C) 30% D) 15%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 20%

Explanation:

Percentage of students passed in English = 60%

Percentage of students passed in Hindi = 45%

Percentage of students passed in both subjects = 25%

ATQ,

Percentage of students passed in only English = 60 - 25 = 35%

Percentage of students passed in only Hindi = 45 - 25 = 20%

Therefore, Percentage of students failed = 100 - (35 + 25 + 20)

= 100 - 80 = 20%.

Q:

If the boat goes 7 kms upstream in 42 min and speed of the stream is 3 kmph, then the speed of the boat in still water ?

A) 14 kmph B) 13 kmph
C) 12 kmph D) 11 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 13 kmph

Explanation:

Given that, upstream distance = 7 kms

Upstream speed = 7/42 x 60 = 10 kms

Speed of the stream = 3 kmph

Let speed in still water = M kmph, then

Upstream speed = M - 3 = 10

=> M = 13 kmph.

Q:

The sum of three numbers is 98. If the ratio of the first to the second is 2:3. And that of the second to the third is 5:8, then the second number is:

A) 30 B) 27
C) 23 D) 33
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 30

Explanation:

Then, A:B = 2:3 and B:C = 5:8
= (5 x 3/5) : (8 x 3/5) = 3:24/5
A:B:C = 2:3:24/5
= 10:15:24 => B = 98 x 15/49 = 30.

Q:

How long will it take for two pipes A and B to fill an empty cistern if they worked alternately for an hour each ?

A. Working alone, Pipe A can fill the cistern in 40 hours
B. Pipe B is one third as efficient as Pipe A

A) Only A is sufficient B) Only B is sufficient
C) Both (A) and (B) are sufficient D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both (A) and (B) are sufficient

Explanation:

From statement A, we know that Pipe A can fill the tank in 40 hours. However, this information is not sufficient as we do not have the data for Pipe B. Hence, statement A alone cannot answer the given question.

From statement B, we know that Pipe B is one third as efficient as pipe A. However, we do not know the rate at which Pipe A fills the tank. Hence, we will not be able to find the rate at which Pipe B fills the cistern. Therefore, statement B alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Now, if we combine the two statements, we know that Pipe A take 40 hours to fill the cistern.
Pipe B takes 120 hours to fill the cistern.

If they worked alternately, then either Pipe A could have started the cycle or Pipe B could have started the cycle.

If Pipe A started the sequence of filling alternately, then at the end of two hours, the two pipes together would have filled 1/40 + 1/120 = 1/30  th of the tank in an hour. Or the cistern will fill in 30 hours.

If Pipe B started the sequence, then at the end of 2 hours, the two pipes together would have filled 1/120 + 1/40 = 1/30 th of the tank in an hour. Or the cistern will fill in 30 hours.

As the answer obtained irrespective of which pipe started the sequence is the same, the correct answer is (3) - i.e., both the statement are sufficient to answer the question.

Q:

At what time will B catch up with A, if A starts from a place at 11.00 A.M. and travels at a speed of 3.5 kmph, B starts at 1.00 P.M. and travels with speeds of 1 kmph for 1 hour, 2 kmph for the next 1 hour, 3 kmph for the next 1 hour and so on.

A) 8 : 47 pm B) 6 : 40 pm
C) 8 : 42 pm D) 7 : 40 pm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 7 : 40 pm

Explanation:

At 1 pm ... Distance between A and B = 2x3.5 = 7 kms
at 2 pm .....Distance between A and B = 7 + 3.5 - 1 = 9.5 kms
At 3 pm ....Distance between A and B = 9.5 + 3.5 - 2 = 11 kms.
..
..
..
At 7 pm distance between A and B = 3 kms.
From 7 pm to 8 pm, speed of A = 3.5 kmph
speed of B = 8 kmph
Relative speed = 4.5 kmph

Time taken by B to meet A = 3/4.5 hrs = 30/45 hrs = 120/3 mins = 40 mins.

So meeting time is 7 : 40 PM.
