1.
A fires 5 shots to B's 3 but A kills only once in 3 shots while B kills once in 2 shots. When B has missed 27 times, A has killed:
30 birds
60 birds
72 birds
90 birds
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the total number of shots be x. Then,

Shots fired by A = 5 x
8

Shots fired by B = 3 x
8

Killing shots by A = 1 of 5 x = 5 x
3 8 24

Shots missed by B = 1 of 3 x = 3 x
2 8 16

3x = 27 or x = 27 x 16 = 144.
16 3

Birds killed by A = 5x = 5 x 144 = 30.
24 24

Six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Kunal and Sagar was 6 : 5. Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11 : 10. What is Sagar's age at present?
16 years
18 years
20 years
Cannot be determined
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the ages of Kunal and Sagar 6 years ago be 6x and 5x years respectively.

Then, (6x + 6) + 4 = 11
(5x + 6) + 4 10

10(6x + 10) = 11(5x + 10)

5x = 10

x = 2.

Sagar's present age = (5x + 6) = 16 years.


3.
Q is as much younger than R as he is older than T. If the sum of the ages of R and T is 50 years, what is definitely the difference between R and Q's age?
1 year
2 years
25 years
Data inadequate
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
Given that:

1. The difference of age b/w R and Q = The difference of age b/w Q and T.

2. Sum of age of R and T is 50 i.e. (R + T) = 50.

Question: R - Q = ?.

Explanation:

R - Q = Q - T

(R + T) = 2Q

Now given that, (R + T) = 50

So, 50 = 2Q and therefore Q = 25.

Question is (R - Q) = ?

Here we know the value(age) of Q (25), but we don't know the age of R.

Therefore, (R-Q) cannot be determined.

1 + am
an
1 + a(n - m) 1 + a(m - n)

   = am + an
(am + an) (am + an)

   = (am + an)
(am + an)

   = 1.

Explanation:

Given Exp. =
1  +  1  +  1
1 + xb + xc
xa xa
1 + xa + xc
xb xb
1 + xb + xa
xc xc

   = xa + xb + xc
(xa + xb + xc) (xa + xb + xc) (xa + xb + xc)

   = (xa + xb + xc)
(xa + xb + xc)

   = 1.

Simran started a software business by investing Rs. 50,000. After six months, Nanda joined her with a capital of Rs. 80,000. After 3 years, they earned a profit of Rs. 24,500. What was Simran's share in the profit?
Rs. 9,423
Rs. 10,250
Rs. 12,500
Rs. 10,500
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)

Explanation:

Simran : Nanda = (50000 x 36) : (80000 x 30) = 3 : 4.

Simran's share = Rs. 24500 x 3 = Rs. 10,500.

A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days can A do the work if he is assisted by B and C on every third day?
12 days
15 days
16 days
18 days
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

A's 2 day's work = 1 x 2 = 1 .
20 10

(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1 + 1 +1 = 6 = 1 .
20 30 60 60 10

Work done in 3 days = 1 + 1 = 1 .
10 10 5

Now, 1 work is done in 3 days.
5

Whole work will be done in (3 x 5) = 15 days.

Robert is travelling on his cycle and has calculated to reach point A at 2 P.M. if he travels at 10 kmph, he will reach there at 12 noon if he travels at 15 kmph. At what speed must he travel to reach A at 1 P.M.?
8 kmph
11 kmph
12 kmph
14 kmph
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the distance travelled by x km.

Then, x - x = 2
10 15

3x - 2x = 60

x = 60 km.

Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr = 60 hrs = 6 hrs.
10

So, Robert started 6 hours before 2 P.M. i.e., at 8 A.M.

Required speed = 60 kmph. = 12 kmph.

A man rows to a place 48 km distant and come back in 14 hours. He finds that he can row 4 km with the stream in the same time as 3 km against the stream. The rate of the stream is:
1 km/hr
1.5 km/hr
2 km/hr
2.5 km/hr
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Suppose he move 4 km downstream in x hours. Then,

Speed downstream = 4 km/hr.
x

Speed upstream = 3 km/hr.
x

48 + 48 = 14 or x = 1 .
(4/x) (3/x) 2

So, Speed downstream = 8 km/hr, Speed upstream = 6 km/hr.

Rate of the stream = 1 (8 - 6) km/hr = 1 km/hr.

In what ratio must a grocer mix two varieties of pulses costing Rs. 15 and Rs. 20 per kg respectively so as to get a mixture worth Rs. 16.50 kg?
3 : 7
5 : 7
7 : 3
7 : 5
Your Answer: Option

Cost of 1 kg pulses of 1st kind Cost of 1 kg pulses of 2nd kind
Rs. 15 Mean Price
Rs. 16.50
Rs. 20
3.50 1.50

Required rate = 3.50 : 1.50 = 7 : 3.

If log a + log b = log (a + b), then:
b a
a + b = 1
a - b = 1
a = b
a2 - b2 = 1
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

log a + log b = log (a + b)
b a

log (a + b) = log a x b = log 1.
b a

So, a + b = 1.

In a race of 200 m, A can beat B by 31 m and C by 18 m. In a race of 350 m, C will beat B by:
22.75 m
25 m
19.5 m
7 4 m
7
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

A : B = 200 : 169.

A : C = 200 : 182.

C = C x A = 182 x 200 = 182 : 169.
B A B 200 169

When C covers 182 m, B covers 169 m.

When C covers 350 m, B covers 169 x 350 m = 325 m.
182

Therefore, C beats B by (350 - 325) m = 25 m.

If 6th March, 2005 is Monday, what was the day of the week on 6th March, 2004?
Sunday
Saturday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

The year 2004 is a leap year. So, it has 2 odd days.

But, Feb 2004 not included because we are calculating from March 2004 to March 2005. So it has 1 odd day only.

The day on 6th March, 2005 will be 1 day beyond the day on 6th March, 2004.

Given that, 6th March, 2005 is Monday.

6th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to 6th March, 2005).
