Q:

In a triangle ABC, angle 'a' is the smallest one & A+7B = 112. Find the range of value 'c' ?

A) 138 to 164 B) 125 to 147
C) 148 to 158 D) 152 to 164
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 152 to 164

Explanation:

A+7B=112

it is clear that A = 14, then it becomes A>=B, but A is smallest angle) given
so, range of A is 0.0001 to 13.9999 ( I am taking upto 4 decimal places)
so, range of B becomes 14 to 16 ( after rounding off to 4 decimal places)
so, range of C becomes 152 to 164 ( after rounding off to 4 decimal places)

Q:

7 years ago, the ratio of the ages of Anirudh to that of Bhavana, was 7:9. Chandhu is 12 years older than Anirudh and 12 years younger than Bhavana. What is Chandhu's present age?

A) 91 years B) 115 years
C) 103 years D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 103 years

Explanation:

Let present Anirudh's age be 'A' and Bhavana's age be 'B'

Given seven years, their ratio is 7:9

=> A-7 : B-7 = 7 : 9

=> 9A - 7B = 14 .......(1)

And given,

Chandhu is 12 years older than A nad 12 years younger than B

=> C = A + 12....(2)

=> B = C + 12

=> B = A + 12 + 12 .....(From (2))

=> B = A + 24 ....(3)

Put (3) in (1)

9A - 7(A+24) = 14

9A - 7A - 168 = 14

2A = 182

=> A = 91 years

=> C = A + 12 = 91 +12 = 103 years.

Q:

A, B and C started a company where their initial investments was in the ratio of 2:3:4. At the end of 6 months, A invested an amount such that his total capital became equal to B's initial capital investment. If the annual profit of B is Rs. 3000 then what is the total profit of the company ?

A) Rs. 9500 B) Rs. 10600
C) Rs. 7500 D) Rs. 8900
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 9500

Explanation:

Given initial investments ratio = 2 : 3 : 4

At the end of 6 months, A invested an amount such that his total capital became equal to B's initial capital investment

i.e, upto 6 months A's investment is 2 and after 6 months his invstment is 3 = B's investment

Now, Ratio of investment for one year

=> A : B : C = (2×6 + 3×6) : (3×12) : (4×12)

= 30 : 36 : 48

= 5 : 6 : 8

But given B's profit = 3000

=> 6 ratio = 3000

For total => 19 ratio = Rs. 9500.

Q:

Ratio of water and milk in a container is 2 : 3. If 40 liter mixture removed from the container and same quantity of milk is added to it then the ratio of water to milk becomes 1 : 4. Find the initial quantity of mixture ?

 

A) 75 lit B) 80 lit
C) 85 lit D) 90 lit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 80 lit

Explanation:

From the given data,

let the initial quantity of the mixture = 5x

Then,

2x - 163x - 24 + 40 = 148x - 64 = 3x + 165x = 80x = 16 lit

 

Then the initial quantity of the mixture = 5x = 5 x 16 = 80 lit.

Q:

Robert is traveling on his cycle and has calculated to reach point A at 2 p.m. if he travels at 10 km/hr; he will reach there at 12 noon if he travels at 15 km/hr. At what speed must he travel to reach A at 1 p.m. ?

A) 20 kmph B) 18 kmph
C) 12 kmph D) 16 kmph
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12 kmph

Explanation:

Let the distance traveled be x km.
Then, x/10 - x/15 = 2
3x - 2x = 60 => x = 60 km.
Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr = 60/10 = 6 hrs.
So, Robert started 6 hours before 2. p.m. i.e., at 8 a.m.
Required speed = 60/5 = 12 kmph.
