Q:

1.12.91 is the first Tuesday. Which is the fourth Thursday of December 91  ?

A) 22.12.91 B) 25.12.91
C) 24.12.91 D) 23.12.91
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 25.12.91

Explanation:

Given that 2.12.91 is the first Tuesday
Hence we can assume that 4.12.91 is the first Thursday

If we add 7 days to 4.12.91, we will get second Thursday
If we add 14 days to 4.12.91, we will get third Thursday
If we add 21 days to 4.12.91, we will get fourth Thursday

=> fourth Thursday = (4.12.91 + 21 days) = 25.12.91.

Q:

A supplier supplies cartridges to a news paper publishing house. He earns a profit of 25% by selling cartridges for Rs. 1540. Find the cost price of the Cartridges ?

A) Rs. 1100 B) Rs. 1793.4
C) Rs. 1440 D) Rs. 1232
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 1232

Explanation:

Let Cost Price(C.P) = P
gain% = {(S.P-C.P)/C.P} x 100
25 = {(1540-P)/P} x 100
25/100 = (1540-P)/P
=> P = 4(1540)-4P
=> 5P = 4(1540)
=> P = 1232
So, Cost Price = Rs. 1232

Q:

What is the meaning of the four colour dots in the news paper?

newspaper-color-dots1525935299.jpg image

Answer

If you read newspaper daily, then you may be aware of the four coloured dots on the corner of the newspaper. 


 


The four dots CMYK — blue (Cyan), pink (Magenta), Yellow and black (Kalio) are registration marks used during printing to help ensure the print is aligned properly. Any colour can be obtained by adding the correct proportion of these four colours.


 


CMYK is used as a base for the colours used in printing newspapers, and these four colours are often printed on the paper in either a heart, dot, or square shape.


 


To print an image, the plates of all these colours are laid out on a page separately and lined up in the same spot while printing. If those four dots are blur or you find the colours overlapping on the image it means the printing is not good. To print an accurate and perfect image, the colors and shape must be arranged precisely and must be claear sharp in order to get the best output.


 



That's why CMYK is also called registration mark. As physically checking all the pages of the paper is not possible for a printer who prints number of news papers daily, he just checks these dots.

Q:

Two persons start running simultaneously around a circular track of length 600 m from the same point at speeds of 25 kmph and 35 kmph. When will they meet for the first time any where on the track  ?

A) 54 sec B) 36 sec
C) 72 sec D) 11 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 36 sec

Explanation:

Time taken to meet the first time = length of track/relative speed

 

Given the length of the track is 600 m

 

The relative speed = 25 + 35 = 60 kmph = 60 x 5/18 m

 

Therefore Time = 60025+35518= 600/60 x (18/5) = 36 sec.
