Q:

A train covers 180 km distance in 5 hours. Another train covers the same distance in 1 hour less. What is the difference in the distances covered by these trains in one hour if they are moving in the same direction?

A) 15 kms B) 9 kms
C) 6 kms D) 18 kms
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9 kms

Explanation:

The first train covers 180 kms in 5 hrs

=> Speed = 180/5 = 36 kmph

Now the second train covers the same distance in 1 hour less than the first train => 4 hrs

=> Speed of the second train = 180/4 = 45 kmph

Now, required difference in distance in 1 hour = 45 - 36 = 9 kms.

Q:

The first 8 alphabets are written down at random. what is the probability that the letters b,c,d,e always come together ?

A) 1/7 B) 8!
C) 7! D) 1/14
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1/14

Explanation:

The 8 letters can be written in 8! ways.
n(S) = 8!
Let E be the event that the letters b,c,d,e always come together when the first 8 alphabets are written down.
Now the letters a, (bcde), f, g and h can be arranged in 5! ways.
The letters b,c,d and e can be arranged themselves in 4! ways.
n(E) = 5! x 4!
Now, the required P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 5! x 4!/8! = 1/14
Hence the answer is 1/14.

Q:

Two boys are playing on a ground. Both the boys are less than 10 years old. Age of the younger boy is equal to the cube root of the product of the age of the two boys. If we place the digit representing the age of the younger boy to the left of the digit representing the age of the elder boy, we get the age of the father of the younger boy. Similarly, we place the digit representing the age of the elder boy to the left of the digit representing the age of the younger boy and divide the figure by 2, we get the age of the mother of the younger boy. The mother of the younger boy is younger than his father by 3 years. Then, what are the ages of elder and younger boys ?

A) E = 15 & Y = 3 B) E = 14 & Y = 12
C) E = 40 & Y = 22 D) E = 4 & Y = 2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) E = 4 & Y = 2

Explanation:

Let the the age of the elder boy = E

 

Let the the age of the younger boy = Y

 

Given that Y = cube root of EY

 


=> Y3 = EY => E = Y2 .....(1)
By the condition of number replacement the age of the father is YE

 

The Mother's age = EY/2

 

But she is 3 years less than father => EY/2 + 3 = YE
2YE = EY + 6 ......(2)

 

Then now from the given options we can identify which satisfies the all the conditions.

 

Here Y =2 and E = 4 satisfies all the conditions.
