Q:

In a class of students, if 1 is absent rest of people can be divided into 6 equal parts and if 2 are absent rest of them are divided into 7 equal parts, how many students are present in the class ?

A) 28 B) 19
C) 57 D) 37
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 37

Explanation:

Let the number of students in the class be 'x'.
Given if 1 is absent rest of people can be divided into 6 equal parts i.e (x-1)/6.........(1)
And given if 2 are absent rest of people can be divided into 7 equal parts i.e (x-2)/7.....(2)
From (1)&(2), we get
x-1/6 = ((x-2)/7) + 1
=> x = 37.

Q:

A man spend Rs. 810 in buying trouser at Rs. 70 each and shirt at Rs. 30 each. What will be the ratio of trouser and shirt when the maximum number of trouser is purchased ?

A) 1:3 B) 2:1
C) 3:2 D) 2:3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3:2

Explanation:

Let us assume S as number of shirts and T as number of trousers
Given that each trouser cost = Rs.70 and that of shirt = Rs.30
Therefore, 70 T + 30 S = 810
=> 7T + 3S = 81......(1)
T = ( 81 - 3S )/7

We need to find the least value of S which will make (81 - 3S) divisible by 7 to get maximum value of T
Simplifying by taking 3 as common factor i.e, 3(27-S) / 7
In the above equation least value of S as 6 so that 27- 3S becomes divisible by 7

Hence T = (81-3xS)/7 = (81-3x6)/7 = 63/7 = 9

Hence for S, put T in eq(1), we get
S = 81-7(9)/3 = 81-63 / 3 = 18/3 = 6.
The ratio of T:S = 9:6 = 3:2.

Q:

Sripad has scored average of 65 marks in three objects. In no subjects has he secured less than 58 marks. He has secured more marks in Maths than other two subjects. What could be his maximum score in Maths ?

A) 79 B) 77
C) 76 D) 73
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 79

Explanation:

Assuming Sripad has scored the least marks in subject other than science,
Then the marks he could secure in other two are 58 each.
Since the average mark of all the 3 subject is 65.
i.e (58+58+x)/3 = 65
116 + x = 195
x = 79 marks.

Therefore, the maximum marks he can score in maths is 79.

Explanation:

LCM of 4, 6, 8 and 10 = 120
120) 1000 (8
960
------
40

The least number of four digits which is divisible by 4, 6, 8 and 10 => 1000 + 120 - 40 = 1080.
