A) 10000 B) 9900
C) 8900 D) 7900
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9900

That can be done as,

 

100 P2  = 100!/(100 - 2)!

= 100 x 99 x 98!/98!

= 100 x 99 

= 9900.

Q:

If sum of upstream and downstream speed of a boat is 82 kmph, and the boat travels 105 km. upstream in 3 hr, Find the time taken by boat to cover 126 km downstream. 

A) 2.8 hrs B) 2.7 hrs
C) 2.6 hrs D) 2.5 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2.7 hrs

Explanation:

Let Speed of boat in still water = b

Let Speed of still water = w

Then we know that,

Speed of Upstream = U = boat - water

Speed of Downstream = D = boat + water

Given, U + D = 82

b - w + b + w = 82

2b = 82

=> b = 41 kmph

From the given data,

41 - w = 105/3 = 35

w = 6 kmph

Now,

b + w = 126/t

=> 41 + 6 = 126/t

=> t = 126/47  = 2.68 hrs.

Q:

A box contains 90 screws each of 100 gms and 100 bolts each of 150 gms. If the entire box weighs 35.5 kg, then the weight of the empty box is ?

A) 10.5 kgs B) 12 kgs
C) 9.6 kgs D) 11.5 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 11.5 kgs

Explanation:

Screws weight = 90x100 = 9000gms
bolts weight = 100 x 150 = 15000gms
weight = screws + bolts => 24000 gms =>24 kg
Given entire box weight = 35.5kg
empty box = entire box weight - weight => 35.5kg - 24kg => 11.5kg
so the empty box is 11.5kg.

Q:

How many balls?

Number of balls in the figure...

balls1523099634.jpg image

Answer

You have to actually count all the balls in the pyramid.
Simple way is to count the balls in each level.


So lower most level lets say 1st level has 4 x 4 balls; i.e. 16 balls
Similarly 2nd level has 3 x 3 balls; i.e. 9 balls.
3rd level has 2 x 2 balls; i.e. 4 balls.
The top most level has just 1 ball.


So the total number of balls is 16+9+4+1 = 30.


 


So the image has 30 Balls in all.

Q:

Ajay who is a King, at his eleventh hour, called his three queens and distributed his gold in the following way: He gave 50% of his wealth to his first wife, 50% of the rest to his second wife and again 50% of the rest to his third wife. If their combined share is worth1,30,900 kilograms of gold, find the quantity of gold King Ajay was having initially?

A) 153145 kgs B) 147890 kgs
C) 152400 kgs D) 149600 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 149600 kgs

Explanation:

Let the total quantity of gold be p kgs.

According to the question,

50% of p + 25% of p + 12.5% of p = 130900

87.5% of p = 130900

p = 130900 x 100/87.5  = 149600 kgs.

 

Therefore, the initial gold quantity that king has = p = 149600 kgs.
