Q:

P and Q were assigned to do a work for an amount of 1200. P alone can do it in 15 days while Q can do it in 12 days. With the help of R they finish the work in 6 days. Find the share of R ?

A) 120 B) 240
C) 360 D) 180
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 120

Explanation:

1/15 + 1/12 + 1/R = 1/6, we got R = 60 (it means R will take 60 days to complete the work alone)


so ratio of work done by P:Q:R = 1/15 : 1/12 : 1/60 = 5 : 4 : 1


so R share = (1/10) x 1200 = 120.

Q:

Given that 100.48 = x,  100.70 = y and xz = y2,  then the value of z is close to ___ ?

A) 3.7 B) 2.7
C) 3.6 D) 2.9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 2.9

Explanation:

xz = y2        10(0.48z) = 10(2 x 0.70) = 101.40

 0.48z = 1.40

 z = 140/18 = 35/12 = 2.9 (approx.)

Q:

There is a clock which shows false timing ie it shows 20 minutes less for each 1 hour. If the clock shows 12 noon now how many minutes will be lost when it shows 2 pm ?

A) 36 minutes B) 48 minutes
C) 35 minutes D) 60 minutes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 60 minutes

Explanation:

For 1 hour, 20 minutes is slower, then for
06 miuntes - 2 minutes is slower
30 minutes - 10 minutes
Actual time | false time
12 12
01 PM 12:40 PM (20 minutes slower)
02 PM 01:20 PM
03 PM 02:00 PM

So, when actual time is 3pm, the false time is 2 pm.
So, it loses 60 minutes when it shows 2 pm.

Q:

Ravi and Ramu are partners in a business.Ravi contributes 1/6 of the capital for 16 months and Ramu received 2/3 of the profit. For how long Ramu's money was used ?

A) 11 months B) 10 months
C) 9 months D) 8 months
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8 months

Explanation:

Let the total Profit be Z.
Ramu's profit share is 2/3 of profit (i.e 2Z/3)
Ravi's profit is (Z-2Z/3) =Z/3
Hence the profit ratio is , Ravi : Ramu = Z/3 : 2Z/3 = 1:2

Let total Capital be Rs.X and Ramu has contributed for Y months.Since Ramu's profit share is 2/3, his invest share will be 2/3 in capital.

Ravi's invest for 16 months / Ramu's invest for Y months = Ravi's profit share / Ramu's profit share
i.e. (X/6 x 16) / (2X/3 x Y) = 1/2

Solving the above equation, we get Y = 8.
So Ramu's money has been used for 8 months.
