Q:

Find the length of a train if it takes 10 seconds to cross a pole and double of this time to cross a platform of length 200 mts ?

A) 180 mts B) 190 mts
C) 200 mts D) 210 mts
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 200 mts

Explanation:

Let the length of the train be 'L' mts

let the speed of the train be 'S' m/s

Given it crosses a pole in 10 sec=> L/S = 10 ......(1)
Given it takes 20 sec (double of pole) to cross a platform of length 200 mts

=> (L + 200)/S = 20

=> L/S + 200/S = 20

But from (1) L/S = 10

=> 200/S = 20 - 10

=> S = 20 m/s

Then, from (1)

=> L = 10 x 20 = 200 mts.

Hence, the length of the train = 200 mts.

A) 15 B) 20
C) 5 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 20

Explanation:

Since each number to be divisible by 5, we must have 5 0r 0 at the units place. But in given digits we have only 5.

 

So, there is one way of doing it.

 

Tens place can be filled by any of the remaining 5 numbers.So, there are 5 ways of filling the tens place.

 

The hundreds place can now be filled by any of the remaining 4 digits. So, there are 4 ways of filling it.

 

Required number of numbers = (1 x 5 x 4) = 20.

A) 963 B) 696
C) 969 D) 966
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 969

Explanation:

1 + 1 = 121 = 1x1 1+1 1x1

1 + 2 = 134 = 1x1 1+2 2x2

2 + 2 = 444 = 2x2 2+2 2x2

3 + 2 = 954 = 3x3 3+2 2x2

3 + 3 = ?   

Similarly, 3x3 3+3 3x3 = 969

Q:

Find the C.I. on Rs. 15,225 for 9 months at 16% per annum compounded quarterly ?

A) Rs. 1911 B) Rs. 1909
C) Rs. 1901 D) Rs. 1907
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 1901
