The least number which when divided by 5, 6 , 7 and 8 leaves a remainder 3, but when divided by 9 leaves no remainder, is:
1677
1683
2523
3363
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

L.C.M. of 5, 6, 7, 8 = 840.

Required number is of the form 840k + 3

Least value of k for which (840k + 3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2.

Required number = (840 x 2 + 3) = 1683.

The captain of a cricket team of 11 members is 26 years old and the wicket keeper is 3 years older. If the ages of these two are excluded, the average age of the remaining players is one year less than the average age of the whole team. What is the average age of the team?
23 years
24 years
25 years
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the average age of the whole team by x years.

11x - (26 + 29) = 9(x -1)

11x - 9x = 46

2x = 46

x = 23.

So, average age of the team is 23 years.


6.
The present ages of three persons in proportions 4 : 7 : 9. Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 56. Find their present ages (in years).
8, 20, 28
16, 28, 36
20, 35, 45
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let their present ages be 4x, 7x and 9x years respectively.

Then, (4x - 8) + (7x - 8) + (9x - 8) = 56

20x = 80

x = 4.

Their present ages are 4x = 16 years, 7x = 28 years and 9x = 36 years respectively.

Divya is twice as old as Shruti. What is the difference in their ages?

I. 

Five years hence, the ratio of their ages would be 9 : 5.

 II. 

Ten years back, the ratio of their ages was 3 : 1.

I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer
II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
Either I or II alone sufficient to answer
Both I and II are not sufficient to answer
Both I and II are necessary to answer
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let Divya's present age be D years and Shruti's present age b S years

Then, D = 2 x S       D - 2S = 0 ....(i)

 I. D + 5 = 9 ....(ii)
S + 5 5

II. D - 10 = 3 ....(iii)
S - 10 1

From (ii), we get : 5D + 25 = 9S + 45       5D - 9S = 20 ....(iv)

From (iii), we get : D - 10 = 3S - 30       D - 3S = -20 ....(v)

Thus, from (i) and (ii), we get the answer.

Also, from (i) and (iii), we get the answer.

I alone as well as II alone give the answer. Hence, the correct answer is (C).

(256)0.16 x (256)0.09 = ?
4
16
64
256.25
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

(256)0.16 x (256)0.09 = (256)(0.16 + 0.09)

   = (256)0.25

   = (256)(25/100)

   = (256)(1/4)

   = (44)(1/4)

   = 44(1/4)

   = 41

   = 4

Three partners shared the profit in a business in the ratio 5 : 7 : 8. They had partnered for 14 months, 8 months and 7 months respectively. What was the ratio of their investments?
5 : 7 : 8
20 : 49 : 64
38 : 28 : 21
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let their investments be Rs. x for 14 months, Rs. y for 8 months and Rs. z for 7 months respectively.

Then, 14x : 8y : 7z = 5 : 7 : 8.

Now, 14x = 5       98x = 40y       y = 49 x
8y 7 20

And, 14x = 5       112x = 35z       z = 112 x = 16 x.
7z 8 35 5

x : y : z = x : 49 x : 16 x = 20 : 49 : 64.

Ravi, Gagan and Nitin are running a business firm in partnership. What is Gagan's share in the profit earned by them?

I. 

Ravi, Gagan and Nitin invested the amounts in the ratio of 2 : 4 : 7.

 II. 

Nitin's share in the profit is Rs. 8750.

I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer
II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
Either I or II alone sufficient to answer
Both I and II are not sufficient to answer
Both I and II are necessary to answer
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let us name Ravi, Gagan and Nitin by R, G and N respectively.

 I. R : G : N = 2 : 4 : 7.

II. N = 8750..

From I and II, we get:

When N = 7, then G = 4.

When N = 8750, then G = 4 x 8750 = 5000.
7

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

Correct answer is (E).

A wheel that has 6 cogs is meshed with a larger wheel of 14 cogs. When the smaller wheel has made 21 revolutions, then the number of revolutions mad by the larger wheel is:
4
9
12
49
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the required number of revolutions made by larger wheel be x.

Then, More cogs, Less revolutions (Indirect Proportion)

14 : 6 :: 21 : x       14 x x = 6 x 21

x = 6 x 21
14

x = 9.

10 women can complete a work in 7 days and 10 children take 14 days to complete the work. How many days will 5 women and 10 children take to complete the work?
3
5
7
Cannot be determined
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

1 woman's 1 day's work = 1
70

1 child's 1 day's work = 1
140

(5 women + 10 children)'s day's work = 5 + 10 = 1 + 1 = 1
70 140 14 14 7

5 women and 10 children will complete the work in 7 days.

Two pipes can fill a tank in 20 and 24 minutes respectively and a waste pipe can empty 3 gallons per minute. All the three pipes working together can fill the tank in 15 minutes. The capacity of the tank is:
60 gallons
100 gallons
120 gallons
180 gallons
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Work done by the waste pipe in 1 minute = 1 - 1 + 1
15 20 24

    = 1 - 11
15 120

    = -  1 .    [-ve sign means emptying]
40

Volume of 1 part = 3 gallons.
40

Volume of whole = (3 x 40) gallons = 120 gallons.

A jogger running at 9 kmph alongside a railway track in 240 metres ahead of the engine of a 120 metres long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger?
3.6 sec
18 sec
36 sec
72 sec
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Speed of train relative to jogger = (45 - 9) km/hr = 36 km/hr.

   = 36 x 5 m/sec
18

   = 10 m/sec.

Distance to be covered = (240 + 120) m = 360 m.

Time taken = 360 sec = 36 sec.

Two goods train each 500 m long, are running in opposite directions on parallel tracks. Their speeds are 45 km/hr and 30 km/hr respectively. Find the time taken by the slower train to pass the driver of the faster one.
12 sec
24 sec
48 sec
60 sec
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Relative speed = = (45 + 30) km/hr
= ( 75 x 5 ( m/sec
18
= ( 125 ( m/sec.
6

We have to find the time taken by the slower train to pass the DRIVER of the faster train and not the complete train.

So, distance covered = Length of the slower train.

Therefore, Distance covered = 500 m.

Therefore Required time = ( 500 x 6 ( = 24 sec.
125

A boatman goes 2 km against the current of the stream in 1 hour and goes 1 km along the current in 10 minutes. How long will it take to go 5 km in stationary water?
40 minutes
1 hour
1 hr 15 min
1 hr 30 min
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Rate downstream = 1 x 60 km/hr = 6 km/hr.
10

Rate upstream = 2 km/hr.

Speed in still water = 1 (6 + 2) km/hr = 4 km/hr.
2

Required time = 5 hrs = 1 1 hrs = 1 hr 15 min.

8 litres are drawn from a cask full of wine and is then filled with water. This operation is performed three more times. The ratio of the quantity of wine now left in cask to that of water is 16 : 65. How much wine did the cask hold originally?
18 litres
24 litres
32 litres
42 litres
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the quantity of the wine in the cask originally be x litres.

Then, quantity of wine left in cask after 4 operations = x 1 - 8 4  litres.
x

x(1 - (8/x))4 = 16
x 81

1 - 8 4 = 2 4
x 3

x - 8 = 2
x 3

3x - 24 = 2x

x = 24.

7
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total number of balls = (2 + 3 + 2) = 7.

Let S be the sample space.

Then, n(S) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 7
= 7C2 `
= (7 x 6)
(2 x 1)
= 21.

Let E = Event of drawing 2 balls, none of which is blue.

n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of (2 + 3) balls.
= 5C2
= (5 x 4)
(2 x 1)
= 10.

P(E) = n(E) = 10 .
n(S) 21
