Q:

A watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes and was set right at 8 AM. What time will it show at 10 PM on the same day ?

A) 10 : 27 : 41 AM B) 8 : 51 : 04 AM
C) 9 : 45 : 15 PM D) 10 : 23 : 20 PM
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 10 : 23 : 20 PM

Explanation:

The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour.

From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours.

In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds.

So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM

Q:

A man traveled from the village to the post-office at the rate of 25 kmph and walked back at the rate of 4 kmph. If the whole journey took 5 hours 48 minutes, find the distance of the post-office from the village ?

A) 40 km B) 30 km
C) 20 km D) 10 km
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 20 km

Explanation:

Average speed = 2aba+b, here a=25 b=4
= 2 x 25 x 4/(25+4) = 200/29 km/hr.

Distance covered in 5 hours 48 minutes
= Speed x time = (200/29)x (29/5) Distance covered in 5 hours 48 minutes = 40kms.

Distance of the post office from the village = (40/2) = 20 km.

Q:

A pump can fill a tank with water in 2 hours. Because of a leak, it took 213 hours to fill the tank. The leak can drain all the water of the tank in:

A) 7 hours B) 8 hours
C) 12 hours D) 14 hours
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 14 hours

Explanation:

If the total area of pump=1 part

The pumop take 2 hrs to fill 1 part 

The pumop take1 hour to fill 1/2 portion 

 

Due to lickage  

The pumop take 7/3 hrs to fill 1 part 

The pumop take1 hour to fill 3/7 portion 

Now the difference of area = (1/2-3/7)=1/14 

 

This 1/14 part of water drains in 1 hour 

Total area=1 part of water drains in (1x14/1)hours= 14 hours 

 

So the leak can drain all the water of the tank in 14 hours. 

Leak will empty the tank in 14 hrs

A) 6% B) 8%
C) 10% D) 12%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8%

Explanation:

Let the shopkeeper buy 300g for Rs.300. Now he sells 100g for Rs.110, another 100g for Rs120, and the rest 100g for Rs94. 

 

Therefore, the total amount he receives = Rs.110 + Rs.120 + Rs.94 = 324. 

 

Therefore, the shopkeeper spends Rs.300 and gets back Rs.324.

 

Therefore, his profit percentage = 24300x100 % = 8%

Q:

The wages of labourers in a factory increases in the ratio 22:25 and there was a reduction in the number of labourers in the ratio 15:11. Find the original wage bill if the present bill is Rs. 5000 ?

A) Rs. 5500 B) Rs. 6000
C) Rs. 6200 D) Rs. 6350
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 6000

Explanation:

The wages of labourers in a factory increases in the ratio 22:25 and there was a reduction in the number of labourers in the ratio 15:11. Find the original wage bill if the present bill is Rs 5000 ?
Ratio of increase of wages = 22:25
Ratio of decrease of labourers = 15:11
Compound ratio of wages of labourers = 22 x 15 : 25 x 11 = 330:275
Final bill = Rs. 5000
For 275 ratio wages = Rs. 5000
For 1 ratio wages = 5000/275
For 330 ratio wages = 5000/275 x 330 = Rs. 6000
