  • Question 1/10
    2 / -0.5

    A cop sees a thief at a distance of 120 m. He starts chasing the thief who is running at a speed of 6 m/sec. The cop is chasing him with a speed of 8 m/sec. Find the distance covered by the thief before the cop catches him.

    Solutions

    Given:

    Initial distance between cop and thief: 120 m

    Speed of thief: 6 m/sec

    Speed of cop: 8 m/sec

    Concept used:

    Relative speed is the difference of individual speeds, and the distance covered by the thief before the cop catches him is the product of the thief's speed and the time it takes for the cop to catch him.

    Solution:

    Calculate the relative speed: 8 m/sec - 6 m/sec.

    Calculate the time for the cop to catch the thief: 120 m / relative speed.

    Calculate the distance covered by the thief: thief's speed * time.

    ⇒ Relative speed = 8 m/sec - 6 m/sec = 2 m/sec

    ⇒ Time = 120 m / 2 m/sec = 60 sec

    ⇒ Distance covered by the thief = 6 m/sec × 60 sec = 360 m

    Therefore, the thief covers a distance of 360 m before the cop catches him.

  • Question 2/10
    2 / -0.5

    The simple interest on a certain sum for  years at 12% p.a. is Rs. 56 less than the amount of the same sum at 9% p.a. for 3 years at simple interest. The sum (in Rs.) is:

    Solutions

    Given:

    SI at 12% is Rs56 less than Amount at 9%

    Formula Used:

    A = P + PRT/100 = P(1 + RT/100)

    SI = (P × R × T)/100

    Calculation:

      P × 21/2 × 12/100 = P(1 + 27/100) - 56

    ⇒ P × 126/100 = P × 127/100 - 56

    ⇒ 127P/100 - 126P/100 = 56

    ⇒ P/100 = 56

    ⇒ P = 5600

    ∴ The correct answer is Rs.5600.

  • Question 3/10
    2 / -0.5

    A can paint 5 chairs in an hour and B can paint 3 chairs in an hour. Determine how much time they will require to paint 40 chairs when they work together.

    Solutions

    Given:

    A can paint 5 chairs in an hour

    B can paint 3 chairs in an hour

    Solution:

    ⇒ A and B together can paint (5+3) chairs in an hour = 8 chairs

    ⇒ Time required to paint 40 chairs = 40/8 = 5 hours

    Hence, A and B will require 5 hours to paint 40 chairs together.

  • Question 4/10
    2 / -0.5

    The diameter of a copper sphere is 12 cm. The sphere is melted and is draw into a long wire of uniform circular cross-section. If the length of wire is 48 cm, find its diameter.

    Solutions

    Given:

    Diameter of sphere = 12 cm

    Length of wire = 48 cm

    Formula used:

    Volume of sphere = (4 / 3)π × radius3

    Volume of cylinder = π × radius2 × height

    Calculation:

    According to question

    Volume of cylinder (wire) = volume of sphere

    ⇒ π × radius× 48 = (4 / 3) × π × 6 × 6 × 6

    ⇒ radius= (4 × 6 × 6 × 6) / 3 × 48

    ⇒ radius2 = 6

    ⇒ Radius = √6 cm

    Diameter = 2 × radius

    ∴ Diameter of cylinder (wire) = 2√6 cm

  • Question 5/10
    2 / -0.5

    Find compound interest on Rs. 60000 at 10% per annum for 5 years, compounded annually.

    Solutions

    Given:

    Principal = Rs.60000 ; Rate% = 10% ; Time = 5 years

    Formula used:

    A = P × (100 + R%)T

    Compound interest (C.I) = (A - P)

    Where, A = amount ; P = principal ; T = time ; R = rate

    Calculation:

    Amount = P × (100 + R%)T

    ⇒ 60000 × (110/100)5

    ⇒ 60000 × (11/10)5

    ⇒ 60000 × (161051/100000)

    ⇒ 6 × 16105.1 = 96630.6

    Compound interest (C.I) = (A - P)

    ⇒ 96630.6 - 60000 = 36630.60

    ∴ The correct answer is Rs.36630.60.

    ...view full instructions


    Find the number of males from sector S.

    Solutions

    The bar-graph shows the number of employees working in 5 different sectors

    Given:

    The ratio of number of male and female employees

    Calculations:

    The total number of employees is sector S = 800

    The ratio ​The ratio of number of male and female employees in sector S = 3 : 5

    The number of males from sector S = 3/(3 + 5) × 800

    = 3/8 × 800

    = 300

    Hence, The number of males from sector S is "300"

  • Question 7/10
    2 / -0.5

    A woman invests Rs. 100 at the start of each year at 5% compound interest per annum. How much will her investment be, at the end of the 2nd year?

    Solutions

    Given:

    A woman invests Rs. 100 at the start of each year

    P = 100

    Rate of Interest, R = 5% P.A

    Number of years, N = 2

    Formula used:

    Amount, A = P[1 + (R/100)]N

    Calculation:

    For the 1st year,

    N = 1

    A = 100[1 + (5/100)]1

    A = 105

    According to the question:

    Invests Rs. 100 at the start of each year

    For the 2nd year,

    P = 105 + 100 = 205

    N = 1

    ⇒ A = 205[1 + (5/100)]1

    ⇒ A = 215.25

    ∴ Her investment at the end of the 2nd year = Rs. 215.25

    2 / -0.5

    What is the LCM of 6 and 110?

    Solutions

    Given:

    Numbers 6 and 110

    Concept:

    The least common multiple (LCM) of two integers a and b,

    usually denoted by LCM(a, b), is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by both a and b.

    Steps:

    Prime factorization of 6 = 2 × 3

    Prime factorization of 110 = 2 × 5 × 11

    LCM = Product of highest powers of all factors

    ⇒ 2 × 3 × 5 × 11 = 330

    Hence, the LCM of 6 and 110 is 330.

  • Question 9/10
    2 / -0.5

    This Data shows the Area of the Union Territory in India.

    Delhi is what percent bigger than Chandigarh?

    Solutions

    Given:

    The Data of Union Territory Area's

    Solution:

    The Area of Delhi in percentage = 44%

    And The Area of Chandigarh in Percentage = 4%

    Difference between Area of Delhi and Chandigarh = (44 - 4) %

    ⇒ 40%
