Q:

Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 24 hours and $17 \frac{1}{7}$ hours respectively. Harihar opened the pipes A and B to fill an empty tank and some times later he closed the taps A and B , when the tank was supposed to be full. After that it was found that the tank was emptied in 2.5 hours because an outlet pipe "C" connected to the tank was open from the beginning. If Harihar closed the pipe C instead of closing pipes A and B the remaining tank would have been filled in :

A) 2 hours	B) 8 hours
C) 6 hours	D) 4 hours

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8 hours

Explanation:

Efficiency of Inlet pipe A = 4.16% $(\frac{100}{24})$

Efficiency of Inlet pipe B = 5.83% $(\frac{100}{17 \frac{1}{7}})$

Therefore, Efficiency of A and B together = 100 %

Now, if the efficiency of outlet pipe be x% then in 10 hours the capacity of tank which will be filled = 10 * (10 - x)

Now, since this amount of water is being emptied by 'C' at x% per hour, then

$\frac{10 x (10 - x)}{x} = 2.5 h r s$

=> x = 8

Therefore, in 10 hours 20% tank is filled only. Hence, the remaining 80% of the capacity will be filled by pipes A and B in 80/10 = 8 hours

Q:

A can do a piece of work in 10 days, B in 15 days. They work together for 5 days, the rest of the work is finished by C in two more days. If they get Rs. 3000 as wages for the whole work, what are the daily wages of A, B and C respectively (in Rs):

A) 200, 250, 300	B) 300, 200, 250
C) 200, 300, 400	D) None of these

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 300, 200, 250

Explanation:

A's 5 days work = 50%

B's 5 days work = 33.33%

C's 2 days work = 16.66% [100- (50+33.33)]

Ratio of contribution of work of A, B and C = $50 : 33 \frac{1}{3} : 16 \frac{2}{3}$ = 3 : 2 : 1

A's total share = Rs. 1500

B's total share = Rs. 1000

C's total share = Rs. 500

A's one day's earning = Rs.300

B's one day's earning = Rs.200

C's one day's earning = Rs.250

Q:

Amit can do a piece of work in 45 days, but Bharath can do the same work in 5 days less, than Amit, when working alone. Amit and Bharath both started the work together but Bharath left after some days and Amit finished the remaining work in 56 days with half of his efficiency but he did the work with Bharath with his complete efficiency. For how many days they had worked together?

A) 6	B) 8
C) 9	D) 12

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8

Explanation:

$\begin{matrix} A m i t & B h a r a t \\ N o . o f D a y s & 45 & 40 \\ E f f i c i e n c y & 2.22 P e r c e n t (= \frac{1}{45}) & 2.5 P e r c e n t (= \frac{1}{40}) \end{matrix}$

Amit did the work in 56 days = $56 \times \frac{1}{45 \times 2} = \frac{28}{45}$

Therefore, Rest work 17/45 was done by Amit and Bharath = $\frac{\frac{17}{45}}{\frac{17}{360}}$ = 8 days

( since Amit and Bharath do the work in one day = $\frac{1}{45} + \frac{1}{40} = \frac{17}{360}$ )

Q:

A and B runs around a circular track. A beats B by one round or 10 minutes. In this race, they had completed 4 rounds. If the race was only of one round, find the A's time over the course:

A) 8 min	B) 7.5 min
C) 12.5 min	D) 12 min

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7.5 min

Explanation:

B runs around the track in 10 min.

i.e , Speed of B = 10 min per round

Therefore, A beats B by 1 round

Time taken by A to complete 4 rounds

= Time taken by B to complete 3 rounds

= 30 min

Therefore, A's speed = 30/4 min per round = 7.5 min per round

Hence, if the race is only of one round A's time over the course = 7 min 30 sec

Q:

In a race of 800m Kaushik gives Piyush a start of 200m and then loses the race by 20 seconds. What is the speed of Piyush and Kaushik respectively ? If the ratio of respective speeds be 3:2.

Answer

Let the speed of Kaushik be Sk and speed of Piyush be Sp and let the time taken by Piyush be t second then,

$\frac{Sk}{Sp} = \frac{\frac{800}{t + 20}}{\frac{600}{t}} = \frac{2}{3} (since given ratio)$

t = 20 s

Speed of Piyush = Sp = 600/20 = 30 m/s

and Speed of Kaushik = 800/40 = 20 m/s

Q:

For $x \in N, x > 1$ , and $p = \log_{x} (x + 1)$ , $q = \log_{x + 1} (x + 2)$ then which one of the following is correct?

A) p < q	B) p = q
C) p > q	D) can't be determined

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) p > q

Explanation:

$\frac{k}{l} > \frac{k + 1}{l + 1}$ for (k,l) > 0 and k > l

Let k = x+1 and l = x

Therefore, $\frac{x + 1}{x} > \frac{(x + 1) + 1}{(x) + 1}$

(x + 1) > x

Therefore, $\frac{\log (x + 1)}{\log (x)} > \frac{\log (x + 2)}{\log (x + 1)}$

$\Rightarrow \log_{x} (x + 1) > \log_{x + 1} (x + 2)$

Q:

The Value of $[\log (\tan (1^{0})) + \log (\tan (2^{0})) + \dots \dots + \log (\tan (89^{0}))]$ is

A) -1	B) 0
C) 1/2	D) 1

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 0

Explanation:

$= [\log \tan (1^{0}) + \log \tan (89^{0})] + [\log \tan (2^{0}) + \log \tan (88^{0})] + \dots \dots + [\log \tan (45^{0})]$

$= \log [\tan (1^{0}) \times \tan (89^{0})] + \log [\tan (2^{0}) \times \tan (88^{0})] + \dots \dots + \log (1)$

$[∵ \tan (90 - θ) = c o t θ a n d \tan (45^{0}) = 1]$

= log 1 + log 1 +.....+log 1

= 0.

Q:

What is the number of digits in $3^{3^{3}}$ ? Given that log3 = 0.47712?

A) 12	B) 13
C) 14	D) 15

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 13

Explanation:

Let $L e t x = (3^{3^{3}})$ = ${(3^{3})}^{3}$

Then, $\log (x) = 3^{3} \log (3)$

= 27 x 0.47712 = 12.88224

Since the characteristic in the resultant value of log x is 12

$∴$ The number of digits in x is (12 + 1) = 13

Hence the required number of digits in $3^{3^{3}}$ is 13.
