Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

The time of their meeting again can be calciulated by taking LCM of 24, 6 and 14.
LCM of 24, 6 and 14 = 168
Now, 168 seconds = 2 min 48 s.
Option D is correct.

2) Answer (B)

Perimeter of square field = 784 ft.

Radius of circular field = Side of square field = $\frac{784}{4}$ = 196 ft.

Area of circular field = $\pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7}\times196\times196 = 120736$ sq ft

3) Answer (A)

Least common multipke of 36,27 and 9 is 108.
Hence Harish, Dilip and Asha will meet at 108 second i.e 1 minute and 48 seconds.
Therefore, the correct option is option A.
4) Answer (C)

Length of the train = 280m

Length of the platform = (280*3)m

Since the train passes the platform completely

Total disttance travelled by train = 280+(3*280) = 4*280

Time take = 6min 40s = 360+40 = 400s

Speed = 4*280/400 = 2.8 m/s

5) Answer (E)

We know the formula of speed which is Speed = Distance/Time

Speed of a truck = 640/10 = 64

Speed of a car = 640/8 = 80

Ratio of speed of truck and car = 64:80 = 4:5

6) Answer (C)

Let x be the speed of bike and y be the speed of bus.

y=8x

Also, bike covers 186 kilometers of distance in 3 hours

Therefore, x = 186/3 = 62km/hr

Now, y = 8x = 496km/hr

Distance covered by bus in 10 hours with this speed = 4960 km/hr

7) Answer (B)

Relative speed of the boat with respect to water will be = 20 – 15 = 5 km/hour
Hence, time taken to cross the river will be = $ \frac{10}{5} $ = 2 hour

8) Answer (C)

Relative speed of a train with respect to another train = 70 km/h
Distance to be covered = 140 km
Hence, time taken to meet with each other will be equal to = $\frac{140}{70}$ = 2 hr

9) Answer (E)

Total distance to be covered to cross them = 4000+200+300 = 4500 meter or 4.5 km
Relative speed of a train with respect to other = 30 km/h
Time taken to cross each other = $\frac{4.5}{3} = 1.5$ h

10) Answer (C)

Speed upstream = 12 km/r
Speed downstream = 8 km/hr
So, the time taken is $\frac{20}{12} + \frac{20}{8} = \frac{5}{3} + \frac{5}{2} = \frac{25}{6}$ or $4\frac{1}{6}$ hours.
This is same as 4 hours 10 minutes.

11) Answer (B)

Let the original speed be s and the original time be t.
So, Distance = st
Now, s’ = 1.2s
=> 1.2s X t’ = st
=> t’ = 5t/6
So, the time got reduced by t/6 which is 100/6% of t.
100/6% = 16.66%

12) Answer (E)

Total distance to be covered to cross them = 4000+200+300 = 4500 meter or 4.5 km
Relative speed of a train with respect to other = 30 km/h
Time taken to cross each other = $\frac{4.5}{30} = .15$ h

13) Answer (C)

Speed upstream = 12 km/r
Speed downstream = 8 km/hr
So, the time taken is $\frac{20}{12} + \frac{20}{8} = \frac{5}{3} + \frac{5}{2} = \frac{25}{6}$ or $4\frac{1}{6}$ hours.
This is same as 4 hours 10 minutes.

14) Answer (D)

Let the work completed by A in one day = $\frac{1}{A}$
Let the work completed by B in one day = $\frac{1}{B}$
Let the work completed by C in one day = $\frac{1}{C}$
$\frac{1}{A}$ + $\frac{1}{B}$ = $\frac{1}{20}$
$\frac{1}{B}$ + $\frac{1}{C}$ = $\frac{1}{30}$
$\frac{1}{A}$ + $\frac{1}{C}$ = $\frac{1}{40}$

Solving the above equations we get $\frac{1}{A}$ = $\frac{1}{24}$
A = 24
Similarly B = 120 and C = 60

15) Answer (D)

Work done by the leak in 1 hour = (1/2-3/7)=1/14
Leak will empty the tank in 14 hrs

16) Answer (D)

Part filled by (A + B) in 1 hour = (1/5+1/20)=1/4

So, A and B together can fill the tank in 4 hours.

Time taken to fill the tank with the leak = 4 hours + 30 mins = 4.5 hours.

Hence, rate of work done with leak = 1/4.5 = 2/9

Therefore, Work done by the leak in 1 hour =1/4-2/9=1/36

Leak will empty the tank in 36 hrs

17) Answer (A)

Let Peter’s rate of work be 10 units per day. So, Paul’s rate of work = 140/100 * 10 = 14 units per day
Peter takes 28 days to complete the project. So, total work involved in the project = 28*10 units = 280 units
Work done by both of them working together = 10 + 14 = 24 units per day
So, time taken to complete the project = 280/24 days = 35/3 days = 11 (2/3) days

18) Answer (E)

Amount of work involved for one tank = 4*10*1
Amount of work involved for 2 tanks = 4*10*2
So, time required = 4*10*2/6 = 13.33 hours

19) Answer (B)

The total amount of work required = 8*10*16
Work completed in 5 days = 8*10*5
Work left = 8*10*11
Number of days remaining = 11
Number of students = 4
So, number of hours to be put in per day = 8*10*11/11*4 = 20 hours
So, number of additional hours that each of the remaining students should put in to complete the work on time = 20 – 10 = 10 hours.

20) Answer (A)

If x is the work involved, Azhar’s rate of work is x/6 and Basha’s is x/3 and Carina’s is x/2. Together it is x/6 + x/3 + x/2 = x. Time taken is x divided by x = 1 minute.

21) Answer (D)

If the work involved in the project is x, the rate of all of them together is x/1. Rate of work of A is x/6 and that of C is x/2. So, rate of B alone is $\frac {x}{1} – (\frac{x}{6}+ \frac{x}{2})=\frac{x}{3}$. Time taken by B working alone is x divided by x/3 = 3 hours.

22) Answer (A)

Let the distance from his house to work be D.
So, time taken by him reach office from house is $\frac{D}{40}$
Similarly time taken by him to reach home from office is $\frac{D}{60}$
Total time taken = $\frac{D}{40} + \frac{D}{60} = \frac{3D+2D}{120} = \frac{D}{24}$
So, the average speed during the entire journey is $\frac{2D}{\frac{D}{24}}=48$ kmph

23) Answer (B)

Let the total work done to empty or fill the tank be 24 units.
Work done by A in 1 hour = 24/6 = 4 units.
Work done by B in 1 hour = 24/4 = 6 units.
work done by the leak at bottom per hour = 24/12 = 2 units.
Thus, the total work done in 1 hour = 6 + 4 – 2 = 8
∴ the time taken to fill the entire tank = 24/8 = 3 hours.

24) Answer (E)

Let the efficiency of a boy be ‘x’ and the efficiency of a girl be ‘y’
7x = 11y => x = (11/7)y
Total work to be done = 7x * 15 = 11y * 15 = 165y
Efficiency of one girl and one boy = x + y = (18/7)y
So, time required = 165/(18/7) = 165*7/18 = 55*7/6 = 385/6 = $64 \frac{1}{6}$ days

25) Answer (E)

Since their efficiencies are in the ratio 4 : 3 : 2, Aravind would get 3/9 or 1/3 rd of the total wage obtained for the project.
Thus, the total amount obtained by Aravind = 1/3 of 30000 = 10,000
Hence, the wage obtained per day = 10,000/10 = Rs 1000
