A) 30, 5 B) 32, 3
C) 28, 5 D) 30, 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 30, 5

Explanation:

The figure may be labelled as shown

 

 

Rectangles :

 

The simplest rectangles are CVSR, VETS, RSWM and STKW i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of two components each are CETR, VEKW, RTKM and CVWM i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of three components each are ACRP, PRMO, EGHT and THIK i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of four components each are CEKM, AVSP, PSWO,VGHS and SHIW i.e 5 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of five components each are AETP, PTKO, CGHR and RHIM i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of six components each are ACMO and EGIK i.e 2 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of eight components each are AGHP, PHIO, AVWO and VGIW i.e 4 in number.

 

The rectangles composed of ten components each are AEKO and CGIM i.e 2 in number.

 

AGIO is the only rectangle having sixteen components

 

Total number of rectangles in the given figure = 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 30.

 

Hexagons :

 

The hexagons in the given figure are CDEKLM, CEUKMQ, CFHJMQ, BEUKNP and BFHJNP. So, there are 5 hexagons in the given figure.

Q:

What percentage of simple interest per annum did Anand pay to Deepak?
I. Anand borrowed Rs. 8000 from Deepak for four years.
II. Anand returned Rs. 8800 to Deepak at the end of two years and settled the loan

A) I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer B) II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
C) Either I or II alone sufficient to answer D) Both I and II are necessary to answer
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Both I and II are necessary to answer

Explanation:

Let the rate be R% p.a.

I  gives, P = Rs. 8000 and T = 4 years.

II gives, S.I = Rs. (8800 - 8000) = Rs. 800.

R = [100 x S.I] / [p x t ]= (100 x 800)/(8000 x 4) = 2 ½ % p.a

Thus, I and II both are needed to get the answer.

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:

The Capacity of a Communication Channel is Measured in

A) Band rate B) Band width
C) Data flow D) Bit capacity
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Band width

Explanation:

The path that data takes from source to destination is called a Channel. A channel is a communication medium. A channel has a certain capacity for transmitting information. 

 

The "capacity" of a channel is the theoretical upper-limit to the bit rate over a given channel that will result in negligible errors. Channel capacity is often measured by its Bandwidth in Hz or its data rate in bits per second.

Q:

Three taps P, Q and R can fill a tank in 12 hrs, 15 hrs and 20 hrs respectively. If P is open all the time and Q and R are open for one hour each alternately, starting with Q, then the tank will be full in how many hours ?

A) 9 hrs B) 7 hrs
C) 13 hrs D) 11 hrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 7 hrs

Explanation:

Given,

P can fill in 12 hrs

Q can fill in 15 hrs

R can fill in 20 hrs

=> Volume of tank = LCM of 12, 15, 20 = 60 lit

=> P alone can fill the tank in 60/12 = 5 hrs

=> Q alone can fill the tank in 60/15 = 4 hrs

=> R alone can fill the tank in 60/20 = 3 hrs

Tank can be filled in the way that

(P+Q) + (P+R) + (P+Q) + (P+R) + ....

=> Tank filled in 2 hrs = (5+4) + (5+3) = 9 + 8 = 17 lit

=> In 6 hrs = 17 x 6/2 = 51 lit

=> In 7th hr = 51 + (5+4) = 51 + 9 = 60 lit

=> So, total tank will be filled in 7 hrs.
