The least multiple of 7, which leaves a remainder of 4, when divided by 6, 9, 15 and 18 is:

A.
74
B.
94
C.
184
D.
364

Your Answer: Option (Not Answered)

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:

L.C.M. of 6, 9, 15 and 18 is 90.

Let required number be 90k + 4, which is multiple of 7.

Least value of k for which (90k + 4) is divisible by 7 is k = 4.

Required number = (90 x 4) + 4   = 364.

A.
2 : 3 : 4
B.
6 : 7 : 8
C.

Three friends, P, Q and R started a partnership business investing money in the ratio of 5 : 4 : 2 respectively for a period of 3 years. What is the amount received by P as his share profit?

I. 

Total amount invested in the business in Rs. 22,000.

II. 

Profit earned at the end of 3 years is of the total investment.

 III. 

The average amount of profit earned per year is Rs. 2750.

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:

I and II give, profit after 3 years = Rs. 3 x 22000 = Rs. 8250.
8

From III also, profit after 3 years = Rs. (2750 x 3) = Rs. 8250.

P's share = Rs. 8250 x 5 = Rs. 3750.
11

Thus, (either III is redundant [or] I and II are redundant).

A.
48 paise
B.
54 paise
C.
56 paise
D.

P can complete a work in 12 days working 8 hours a day. Q can complete the same work in 8 days working 10 hours a day. If both P and Q work together, working 8 hours a day, in how many days can they complete the work?

A.
5 5
11
B.
5 6
11
C.
6 5
11
D.
6 6
11

Your Answer: Option (Not Answered)

Correct Answer: Option A

Explanation:

P can complete the work in (12 x 8) hrs. = 96 hrs.

Q can complete the work in (8 x 10) hrs. = 80 hrs.

P's1 hour's work = 1 and Q's 1 hour's work = 1 .
96 80

(P + Q)'s 1 hour's work = 1 + 1 = 11 .
96 80 480

So, both P and Q will finish the work in 480 hrs.
11

Number of days of 8 hours each = 480 x 1 = 60 days = 5 5 days.

Sakshi can do a piece of work in 20 days. Tanya is 25% more efficient than Sakshi. The number of days taken by Tanya to do the same piece of work is:

A.
15
B.
16
C.
18
D.
25

Your Answer: Option (Not Answered)

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Ratio of times taken by Sakshi and Tanya = 125 : 100 = 5 : 4.

Suppose Tanya takes x days to do the work.

5 : 4 :: 20 : x    x = 4 x 20
5

x = 16 days.

Hence, Tanya takes 16 days to complete the work.

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is:
A.
45 km/hr
B.
50 km/hr
C.
54 km/hr
D.
55 km/hr

Your Answer: Option (Not Answered)

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Speed of the train relative to man = 125 m/sec
10

   = 25 m/sec.
2

   = 25 x 18 km/hr
2 5

   = 45 km/hr.

Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr.

x - 5 = 45         x = 50 km/hr.

Two trains, each 100 m long, moving in opposite directions, cross each other in 8 seconds. If one is moving twice as fast the other, then the speed of the faster train is:

A.
30 km/hr
B.
45 km/hr
C.
60 km/hr
D.
75 km/hr

Your Answer: Option (Not Answered)

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the speed of the slower train be x m/sec.

Then, speed of the faster train = 2x m/sec.

Relative speed = (x + 2x) m/sec = 3x m/sec.

(100 + 100) = 3x
8

24x = 200

x = 25 .
3

So, speed of the faster train = 50 m/sec
3

   = 50 x 18 km/hr
3 5

   = 60 km/hr.

A man takes twice as long to row a distance against the stream as to row the same distance in favour of the stream. The ratio of the speed of the boat (in still water) and the stream is:

A.
2 : 1
B.
3 : 1
C.
3 : 2
D.
4 : 3

Your Answer: Option (Not Answered)

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let man's rate upstream be x kmph.

Then, his rate downstream = 2x kmph.

(Speed in still water) : (Speed of stream) = 2x + x : 2x - x
2 2

   = 3x : x
2 2

What is the cost painting the two adjacent walls of a hall at Rs. 5 per m2 which has no windows or doors?

I. 

The area of the hall is 24 sq. m.

II. 

The breadth, length and height of the hall are in the ratio of 4 : 6 : 5 respectively.

 III. 

Area of one wall is 30 sq. m.

A.
I only
B.
II only
C.
III only
D.
Either I or III
E.
All I, II and III are required.

Your Answer: Option (Not Answered)

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:

From II, let l = 4x, b = 6x and h = 5x.

Then, area of the hall = (24x2) m2.

From I. Area of the hall = 24 m2.

From II and I, we get 24x2 = 24         x = 1.

l = 4 m, b = 6 and h = 5 m.

Thus, area of two adjacent walls = [(l x h) + (b x h)] m2 can be found out and so the cost of painting two adjacent walls may be found out.

Thus, III is redundant.

Correct answer is (C).

D.
Both I and II are not sufficient to answer
E.
Both I and II are necessary to answer

Your Answer: Option (Not Answered)

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:

II gives the value of r.

But, in I, the breadth of rectangle is not given.

So, we cannot find the surface area of the cone.

Hence, the height of the cone cannot be determined.

At what time between 5.30 and 6 will the hands of a clock be at right angles?

A.
43 5 min. past 5
11
B.
43 7 min. past 5
11
C.
40 min. past 5
D.
45 min. past 5

Your Answer: Option (Not Answered)

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:

At 5 o'clock, the hands are 25 min. spaces apart.

To be at right angles and that too between 5.30 and 6, the minute hand has to gain (25 + 15) = 40 min. spaces.

55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.

40 min. spaces are gained in 60 x 40 min = 43 7 min.
