1.
The product of two numbers is 2028 and their H.C.F. is 13. The number of such pairs is:
1
2
3
4
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the numbers 13a and 13b.

Then, 13a x 13b = 2028

ab = 12.

Now, the co-primes with product 12 are (1, 12) and (3, 4).

[Note: Two integers a and b are said to be coprime or relatively prime if they have no common positive factor other than 1 or, equivalently, if their greatest common divisor is 1 ]

So, the required numbers are (13 x 1, 13 x 12) and (13 x 3, 13 x 4).

Clearly, there are 2 such pairs.

What will be the least number which when doubled will be exactly divisible by 12, 18, 21 and 30 ?
196
630
1260
2520
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
 L.C.M. of 12, 18, 21 30                 2 | 12  -  18  -  21  -  30
                                         ----------------------------
   = 2 x 3 x 2 x 3 x 7 x 5 = 1260.       3 |  6  -   9  -  21  -  15
                                         ----------------------------
   Required number = (1260 รท 2)            |  2  -   3  -   7  -   5

                   = 630.

3.
The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 15 and the difference between the digits is 3. What is the two-digit number?
69
78
96
Cannot be determined
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y.

Then, x + y = 15 and x - y = 3   or   y - x = 3.

Solving x + y = 15   and   x - y = 3, we get: x = 9, y = 6.

Solving x + y = 15   and   y - x = 3, we get: x = 6, y = 9.

So, the number is either 96 or 69.

Hence, the number cannot be determined.


4.
A number consists of two digits. If the digits interchange places and the new number is added to the original number, then the resulting number will be divisible by:
3
5
9
11
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y.

Then, number = 10x + y.

Number obtained by interchanging the digits = 10y + x.

(10x + y) + (10y + x) = 11(x + y), which is divisible by 11.

5.
The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the positions of its digits is 36. What is the difference between the two digits of that number?
3
4
9
Cannot be determined
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y.

Then, (10x + y) - (10y + x) = 36

9(x - y) = 36

x - y = 4.

If m and n are whole numbers such that mn = 121, the value of (m - 1)n + 1 is:
1
10
121
1000
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

We know that 112 = 121.

Putting m = 11 and n = 2, we get:

(m - 1)n + 1 = (11 - 1)(2 + 1) = 103 = 1000.

Number of toys sold.

 II. 

Cost price of each toy.

Only I is necessary
Only II is necessary
Both I and II are necessary
Either I or II ins necessary
None of these
Your Answer: Option

Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

S.P. = Rs. 250 each.

To find gain percent, we must know the C.P. of each.

Correct answer is (B).


8.
A 270 metres long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80 kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train?
230 m
240 m
260 m
320 m
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Relative speed = (120 + 80) km/hr

   = 200 x 5 m/sec
18

   = 500 m/sec.
9

Let the length of the other train be x metres.

Then, x + 270 = 500
9 9

x + 270 = 500

x = 230.


9.
A train 108 m long moving at a speed of 50 km/hr crosses a train 112 m long coming from opposite direction in 6 seconds. The speed of the second train is:
48 km/hr
54 km/hr
66 km/hr
82 km/hr
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the speed of the second train be x km/hr.

Relative speed = (x + 50) km/hr
= [ (x + 50) x 5 ] m/sec
18
= [ 250 + 5x ] m/sec.
18

Distance covered = (108 + 112) = 220 m.

Therefore 220 = 6
( 250 + 5x (
18

=> 250 + 5x = 660

=> x = 82 km/hr.

What is the length of a running train crossing another 180 metre long train running in the opposite direction?

I. 

The relative speed of the two trains was 150 kmph.

 II. 

The trains took 9 seconds to cross each other.

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 the two trains of length a metres and b metres be moving in opposite directions at u m/s and v m/s.

Time taken to cross each other = (a + b) sec.
(u + v)

Now, b = 180, u + v = 150 x 5 m/sec = 125 m/sec.
18 3

9 = a + 180
(125/3)

a = (375 - 180) = 195 m.


11.
Which of the following statements is not correct?
log10 10 = 1
log (2 + 3) = log (2 x 3)
log10 1 = 0
log (1 + 2 + 3) = log 1 + log 2 + log 3
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

(a) Since loga a = 1, so log10 10 = 1.

(b) log (2 + 3) = log 5 and log (2 x 3) = log 6 = log 2 + log 3

      log (2 + 3) log (2 x 3)

(c) Since loga 1 = 0, so log10 1 = 0.

(d) log (1 + 2 + 3) = log 6 = log (1 x 2 x 3) = log 1 + log 2 + log 3.

So, (b) is incorrect.

The ratio between the perimeter and the breadth of a rectangle is 5 : 1. If the area of the rectangle is 216 sq. cm, what is the length of the rectangle?
16 cm
18 cm
24 cm
Data inadequate
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

2(l + b) = 5
b 1

2l + 2b = 5b

3b = 2l

b = 2 l
3

Then, Area = 216 cm2

l x b = 216

l x 2 l = 216
3

l2 = 324

l = 18 cm.

A rectangular park 60 m long and 40 m wide has two concrete crossroads running in the middle of the park and rest of the park has been used as a lawn. If the area of the lawn is 2109 sq. m, then what is the width of the road?
2.91 m
3 m
5.82 m
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Area of the park = (60 x 40) m2 = 2400 m2.

Area of the lawn = 2109 m2.

Area of the crossroads = (2400 - 2109) m2 = 291 m2.

Let the width of the road be x metres. Then,

60x + 40x - x2 = 291

x2 - 100x + 291 = 0

(x - 97)(x - 3) = 0

x = 3.

A boat having a length 3 m and breadth 2 m is floating on a lake. The boat sinks by 1 cm when a man gets on it. The mass of the man is:
12 kg
60 kg
72 kg
96 kg
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Volume of water displaced = (3 x 2 x 0.01) m3
= 0.06 m3.

Mass of man = Volume of water displaced x Density of water
= (0.06 x 1000) kg
= 60 kg.

When B runs 1000 m, A runs 45 x 1 x 1000 m = 900 m.
2 25

B beats A by 100 m.

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'CORPORATION' be arranged so that the vowels always come together?
810
1440
2880
50400
5760
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

In the word 'CORPORATION', we treat the vowels OOAIO as one letter.

Thus, we have CRPRTN (OOAIO).

This has 7 (6 + 1) letters of which R occurs 2 times and the rest are different.

Number of ways arranging these letters = 7! = 2520.
2!

Now, 5 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and the rest are different, can be arranged

in 5! = 20 ways.
3!

Required number of ways = (2520 x 20) = 50400.

21
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21.

Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green
= event that the ball drawn is blue.

n(E) = 7.

P(E) = n(E) = 7 = 1 .
n(S) 21 3
