Let N be the greatest number that will divide 1305, 4665 and 6905, leaving the same remainder in each case. Then sum of the digits in N is:
4
5
6
8
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

N = H.C.F. of (4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305)

  = H.C.F. of 3360, 2240 and 5600 = 1120.

Sum of digits in N = ( 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 ) = 4

3.
The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 36. What is the difference between the sum and the difference of the digits of the number if the ratio between the digits of the number is 1 : 2 ?
4
8
16
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Since the number is greater than the number obtained on reversing the digits, so the ten's digit is greater than the unit's digit.

Let ten's and unit's digits be 2x and x respectively.

Then, (10 x 2x + x) - (10x + 2x) = 36

9x = 36

x = 4.

Required difference = (2x + x) - (2x - x) = 2x = 8.


4.
The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago, father's age was five times the age of the son. After 6 years, son's age will be:
12 years
14 years
18 years
20 years
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the present ages of son and father be x and (60 -x) years respectively.

Then, (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)

54 - x = 5x - 30

6x = 84

x = 14.

Son's age after 6 years = (x+ 6) = 20 years..


5.
Three candidates contested an election and received 1136, 7636 and 11628 votes respectively. What percentage of the total votes did the winning candidate get?
57%
60%
65%
90%
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total number of votes polled = (1136 + 7636 + 11628) = 20400.

Required percentage = 11628 x 100 % = 57%.
20400


6.
In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit?
30%
70%
100%
250%
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420.

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125

New S.P. = Rs. 420.

Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295.

Required percentage = 295 x 100 % = 1475 % = 70% (approximately).
420 21

A flagstaff 17.5 m high casts a shadow of length 40.25 m. The height of the building, which casts a shadow of length 28.75 m under similar conditions will be:
10 m
12.5 m
17.5 m
21.25 m
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the height of the building x metres.

Less lengthy shadow, Less in the height (Direct Proportion)

40.25 : 28.75 :: 17.5 : x       40.25 x x = 28.75 x 17.5

x = 28.75 x 17.5
40.25

x = 12.5


Direction (Q.No. 9)

Each of the questions given below consists of a question followed by three statements. You have to study the question and the statements and decide which of the statement(s) is/are necessary to answer the question.

9.

In how many days can 10 women finish a work?

I. 

10 men can complete the work in 6 days.

II. 

10 men and 10 women together can complete the work in 3 3 days
7

 III. 

If 10 men work for 3 days and thereafter 10 women replace them, the remaining work in completed in 4 days.

Any two of the three
I and II only
II and III only
I and III only
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

  I. (10 x 6) men can complete the work in 1 day.

      1 man's 1 day's work = 1
60


 II. 10 x 24 men + 10 x 24 women can complete the work in 1 day.
7 7

      240 men's 1 day work + 240 women's 1 day work = 1.
7 7

      240 x 1 + 240 women's 1 day's work = 1.
7 60 7

      240 women's 1 day's work = 1 - 4 = 3
7 7 7

      10 women's 1 day's work = 3 x 7 x 10 = 1
7 240 8

      So, 10 women can finish the work in 8 days.


III. (10 men's work for 3 days) + (10 women's work for 4 days) = 1

      (10 x 3) men's 1 day's work + (10 x 4) women's 1 day's work = 1

      30 men's 1 day's work + 40 women's 1 day's work = 1


      Thus, I and III will give us the answer.

      And, II and III will give us the answer.

      Correct answer is (A).

A towel, when bleached, was found to have lost 20% of its length and 10% of its breadth. The percentage of decrease in area is:
10%
10.08%
20%
28%
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let original length = x and original breadth = y.

Decrease in area
= xy - 80 x x 90 y
100 100
= xy - 18 xy
25
= 7 xy.
25

Decrease % = 7 xy x 1 x 100 % = 28%.
25 xy

What is the capacity of a cylindrical tank?

I. 

Radius of the base is half of its height which is 28 metres.

 II. 

Area of the base is 616 sq. metres and its height is 28 metres.

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:

I gives, h = 28 m and r = 14.

Capacity = r2h, which can be obtained.

Thus, I alone gives the answer.

II gives, r2 = 616 m2 and h = 28 m.

Capacity = (r2 x h) = (616 x 28) m3.

Thus, II alone gives the answer.

Correct answer is (C).
