1.
The difference of the squares of two consecutive even integers is divisible by which of the following integers ?
3
4
6
7
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the two consecutive even integers be 2n and (2n + 2). Then,

(2n + 2)2 = (2n + 2 + 2n)(2n + 2 - 2n)

     = 2(4n + 2)

     = 4(2n + 1), which is divisible by 4.

106 x 106 - 94 x 94 = ?
2400
2000
1904
1906
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
106 x 106 - 94 x 94 = (106)2 - (94)2
= (106 + 94)(106 - 94)    [Ref: (a2 - b2) = (a + b)(a - b)]
= (200 x 12)
= 2400.

3.
A man has some hens and cows. If the number of heads be 48 and the number of feet equals 140, then the number of hens will be:
22
23
24
26
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the number of hens be x and the number of cows be y.

Then, x + y = 48 .... (i)

  and 2x + 4y = 140      x + 2y = 70 .... (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 26, y = 22.

The required answer = 26.


4.

If a = 0.1039, then the value of 4a2 - 4a + 1 + 3a is:

0.1039
0.2078
1.1039
2.1039
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

4a2 - 4a + 1 + 3a = (1)2 + (2a)2 - 2 x 1 x 2a + 3a

   = (1 - 2a)2 + 3a

   = (1 - 2a) + 3a

   = (1 + a)

   = (1 + 0.1039)

   = 1.1039

xc xa xb
xabc
1
xab + bc + ca
xa + b + c
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:
Given Exp.
= x(b - c)(b + c - a) . x(c - a)(c + a - b) . x(a - b)(a + b - c)
= x(b - c)(b + c) - a(b - c)  .  x(c - a)(c + a) - b(c - a)
   .  x(a - b)(a + b) - c(a - b)
= x(b2 - c2 + c2 - a2 + a2 - b2)  .   x-a(b - c) - b(c - a) - c(a - b)
= (x0 x x0)
= (1 x 1) = 1.

Two students appeared at an examination. One of them secured 9 marks more than the other and his marks was 56% of the sum of their marks. The marks obtained by them are:
39, 30
41, 32
42, 33
43, 34
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let their marks be (x + 9) and x.

Then, x + 9 = 56 (x + 9 + x)
100

25(x + 9) = 14(2x + 9)

3x = 99

x = 33

So, their marks are 42 and 33.

A shopkeeper sells one transistor for Rs. 840 at a gain of 20% and another for Rs. 960 at a loss of 4%. His total gain or loss percent is:
5 15 % loss
17
5 15 % gain
17
6 2 % gain
3
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

C.P. of 1st transistor = Rs. 100 x 840 = Rs. 700.
120

C.P. of 2nd transistor = Rs. 100 x 960 = Rs. 1000
96

So, total C.P. = Rs. (700 + 1000) = Rs. 1700.

Total S.P. = Rs. (840 + 960) = Rs. 1800.

Gain % = 100 x 100 % = 5 15 %
1700 17

4 mat-weavers can weave 4 mats in 4 days. At the same rate, how many mats would be woven by 8 mat-weavers in 8 days?
4
8
12
16
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the required number of bottles be x.

More weavers, More mats (Direct Proportion)

More days, More mats (Direct Proportion)

Wavers 4 : 8 :: 4 : x
Days 4 : 8

4 x 4 x x = 8 x 8 x 4

x = (8 x 8 x 4)
(4 x 4)

x = 16.

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


12.
A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?
120 m
240 m
300 m
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Speed = 54 x 5 m/sec = 15 m/sec.
18

Length of the train = (15 x 20)m = 300 m.

Let the length of the platform be x metres.

Then, x + 300 = 15
36

x + 300 = 540

x = 240 m.

A man's speed with the current is 15 km/hr and the speed of the current is 2.5 km/hr. The man's speed against the current is:
8.5 km/hr
9 km/hr
10 km/hr
12.5 km/hr
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Man's rate in still water = (15 - 2.5) km/hr = 12.5 km/hr.

Man's rate against the current = (12.5 - 2.5) km/hr = 10 km/hr.

The cost of Type 1 rice is Rs. 15 per kg and Type 2 rice is Rs. 20 per kg. If both Type 1 and Type 2 are mixed in the ratio of 2 : 3, then the price per kg of the mixed variety of rice is:
Rs. 18
Rs. 18.50
Rs. 19
Rs. 19.50
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the price of the mixed variety be Rs. x per kg.

By rule of alligation, we have:

Cost of 1 kg of Type 1 rice Cost of 1 kg of Type 2 rice
Rs. 15 Mean Price
Rs. x
Rs. 20
(20 - x) (x - 15)

(20 - x) = 2
(x - 15) 3

60 - 3x = 2x - 30

5x = 90

x = 18.

Mr. Gupta borrowed a sum of money on compound interest. What will be the amount to be repaid if he is repaying the entire amount at the end of 2 years?

I. 

The rate of interest is 5 p.c.p.a.

II. 

Simple interest fetched on the same amount in one year is Rs. 600.

 III. 

The amount borrowed is 10 times the simple interest in 2 years.

I only
III only
I or II only
II and Either I or III only
All I, II and III are required
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

  I. gives, Rate = 5% p.a.

 II. gives, S.I. for 1 year = Rs. 600.

III. gives, sum = 10 x (S.I. for 2 years).

Now I, and II give the sum.

For this sum, C.I. and hence amount can be obtained.

Thus, III is redundant.

Again, II gives S.I. for 2 years = Rs. (600 x 2) = Rs. 1200.

Now, from III, Sum = Rs. (10 x 1200) = Rs . 12000.

Thus, Rate = 100 x 1200 = 5% p.a.
2 x 12000

Thus, C.I. for 2 years and therefore, amount can be obtained.

Thus, I is redundant.

Hence, I or III redundant.

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

Let the side of the square(ABCD) be x metres.

Then, AB + BC = 2x metres.

AC = 2x = (1.41x) m.

Saving on 2x metres = (0.59x) m.

Saving % = 0.59x x 100 % = 30% (approx.)
2x

When B runs 25 m, A runs 45 m.
2

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

B beats A by 100 m.


18.
In a 100 m race, A can give B 10 m and C 28 m. In the same race B can give C:
18 m
20 m
27 m
9 m
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

A : B = 100 : 90.

A : C = 100 : 72.

B : C = B x A = 90 x 100 = 90 .
A C 100 72 72

When B runs 90 m, C runs 72 m.

When B runs 100 m, C runs 72 x 100 m = 80 m.
90

B can give C 20 m.
