Q:

A, B and C can do a piece of work in 72, 48 and 36 days respectively. For first p/2 days, A & B work together and for next ((p+6))/3days all three worked together. Remaining 125/3% of work is completed by D in 10 days. If C & D worked together for p day then, what portion of work will be remained?

A) 1/5 B) 1/6
C) 1/7 D) 1/8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/6

Explanation:

Total work is given by L.C.M of 72, 48, 36

Total work = 144 units

Efficieny of A = 144/72 = 2 units/day

Efficieny of B = 144/48 = 3 units/day

Efficieny of C = 144/36 = 4 units/day

 

According to the given data,

2 x p/2 + 3 x p/2 + 2 x (p+6)/3 + 3 x (p+6)/3 + 4 x (p+6)/3 = 144 x (100 - 125/3) x 1/100

3p + 4.5p + 2p + 3p + 4p = 84 x 3 - 54

p = 198/16.5

p = 12 days.

 

Now, efficency of D = (144 x 125/3 x 1/100)/10 = 6 unit/day

(C+D) in p days = (4 + 6) x 12 = 120 unit

Remained part of work = (144-120)/144 = 1/6.

Q:

How many rectangles can be drawn with 36 cm as the perimeter, given that the sides are positive integers in cm?

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

Explanation:

Perimeter = 36


⇒ 2 ( l + w ) = 36


⇒ l + w = 18


Since length and width are positive integers in centimeters.

Therefore, possible dimensions are :


( 1, 17 )cm , ( 2, 16 ) cm , ( 3, 15 ) cm, (4 , 14) cm, ( 5,13) cm, ( 6, 12) cm , ( 7, 11) cm, ( 8, 10 ) cm, ( 9, 9) cm.


Hence, there are 9 rectangles.

Q:

A company requires 12,100 strength. Present employees are 400 ladies and 6400 gents. To reach the target how many ladies required to maintain the same ratio ?

A) 400 B) 600
C) 900 D) 700
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 900

Explanation:

6,400 gents, 2400 ladies in that company.
So total 8,800employees.
for 8,800 employees, we want 2400 ladies.
for 12,100employees we want how many ladies ?
=> (12,100/8,800) x 2400 = 3300.
So we want 3300 - 2400 = 900 more ladies.
