  • Question 1/10
    2 / -0.5

    6 men and 3 boys together in 1 hour do 5 times work as 1 man and 1 boy do in an hour. Determine the ratio of the efficiency of a man and a boy.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 2 : 1.

    Let Work done by 1 man in 1 hour be M units and that by 1 boy in 1 hour be B units

    Work done by 1 man and 1 boy in 1 hour = (M + B)

    Work done by 6 men and 3 boys in one hour = (6M + 3B)

    According To Question -

    ⇒ (6M + 3B) = 5 × (M + B)

    ⇒ (6M + 3B) = (5M + 5B)

    ⇒ M = 2B

    ⇒ M : B = 2 : 1

  • Question 2/10
    2 / -0.5

    What value will come in place of question mark (?) in the following question?

    [1664 ÷ 128 × 16] ÷ 13/4 = (8/3) × ?

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 24.

    [1664 ÷ 128 × 16] ÷ 13/4 = (8/3) × ?

    Applying BODMAS Rule;

    ⇒ [13 × 16] ÷ 13/4 = (8/3) × ?

    ⇒ 16 × 4 = (8/3) × ?

    ⇒ (8/3) × ? = 64

    ⇒ ? = 24

  • Question 3/10
    2 / -0.5

    Find the rate of interest on a sum of money that becomes 13 times itself in 48 years.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 25%.

    S.I = (P × R × T)/100

    S.I = (13P - P) = 12P

    ⇒ 12P = (P × R × 48)/100 

    ⇒ 12 = (R × 48)/100

    ⇒ 1200 = (R × 48)

    ⇒ R = 25%

  • Question 4/10
    2 / -0.5

    Solutions

  • Question 5/10
    2 / -0.5

    A cistern filled in 30 hours by three pipes A, B and C. The pipe C is thrice as fast as B and B is twice as fast as A. How much time will pipe A alone take to fill the tank?

    Solutions

    The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 270 hours.

    Let time taken by pipe A alone to fill the tank be x hours.

    Tank filled by A alone in an hour = 1/x

    Time taken by B alone to fill the tank = x/2 hours

    Tank filled by B alone in an hour = 2/x

    Time taken by C alone to fill the tank = (x/2)/3 = x/6 hours

    Tank filled by C alone in an hour = 6/x

    Together they can fill the tank in = 30 hours

    The total amount of tank they can fill together in 1 hour = 1/30

    According to the question-

    ⇒ 1/x + 2/x + 6/x = 1/30

    ⇒ 9/x = 1/30

    ⇒ x = 30(9) = 270 hours

  • Question 6/10
    2 / -0.5

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Given Pie chart shows the distribution of teachers who teach 6 different subjects. Total number of teachers = 3000. Study the data and answer the questions that follow.

    ...view full instructions


    What is the difference between the total number of teachers who teach English, Physics and Biology together and the total number of teachers who teach Mathematics, Chemistry and Hindi together?

    Solutions

    The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 180.

    Required difference =  [(15% +23% + 15%) - (12% +17% + 18%)] of 3000

    ⇒ 6% of 3000

    ⇒ (6 × 30) = 180

  • Question 7/10
    2 / -0.5

    Bharat gave a discount of 20% on the marked price of a bag and then sold it to Vedant. If he had made a 25% profit, by what percentage did he mark up the price of the bag?

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 56.25%.

    Let the cost of the bag be Rs 100.

    Profit = 25%

    So, the selling price = Cost price × (100 + profit%)/100

    selling price = 100 × (100 + 25)/100 = 125

    Let the marked price be Rs x.

    So, the selling price would be 0.8x

    According to the question,

    ⇒ 0.8x = 125

    ⇒ x = 156.25

    Thus, the marked-up percentage = 156.25 - 100 = 56.25%

  • Question 8/10
    2 / -0.5

    Find the value of Cos180° + Cos135°- Cos240°+ Cos315°.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 2 i.e. -1/2.

    Cos(90 + Ø) = -SinØ

    Cos(180 + Ø) = -CosØ

    Cos(360 - Ø) = CosØ

    Given,

    Cos180° + Cos135°- Cos240°+ Cos315°

    ⇒ Cos(90 + 90) = -Sin90 = -1

    ⇒ Cos(90 + 45) = -Sin45 = -1/√2

    ⇒ Cos(180 + 60) = - Cos60 = -1/2

    ⇒ Cos(360 - 45) = Cos45 = 1/√2

    Now,

    Cos180° + Cos135°- Cos240°+ Cos315° =  -1 - 1/√2 + 1/2 + 1/√2 = -1/2

  • Question 9/10
    2 / -0.5

    Find the smallest prime number that should be multiplied by 27 to make it a perfect square.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 3.

    Prime numbers are 2, 3, 5....

    According to the question;

    ⇒ (27 × 2) = 54

    Where 54 is not a perfect square

    ⇒ (27 × 3) = 81

    81 is a perfect square of 9

    Hence, the required number is 9

    So, the smallest prime number will be 3

  • Question 10/10
    2 / -0.5

    Find the area of the circle whose circumference is equal to the perimeter of a square of side 24 cm.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 735.7 cm2.

    Side of the square = 24 cm

    Perimeter of the square = 4 × side

    Circumference of the circle = 2πr

    According to the question;

    ⇒ 4 × 24 = 2πr

    ⇒ 4 × 24 = 2 × 22/7 × r

    ⇒ r = 15.3 cm

    Now,

    Area of the circle = πr2 = 22/7 × 15.32

    ⇒ 735.7 cm2
