A man, a woman and a boy together complete a piece of work in 3 days. If a man alone can do it in 6 days and a boy alone in 18 days, how long will a woman take to complete the work ?
Solution
Let the man's, woman's and boy's speed be x, y and z.
Let the piece of work be W.
Now, x+y+z = W/3
Also, x = W/6
and z=W/18
Therefore, y = W/3 - W/6 - W/18
y = W/9
Number of days required by woman alone to complete the work = W/y = W/(W/9)
Hence, number of days = 9
Therefore, the correct option is option A.
If $$\sqrt{1296}$$ = 36, then the value of $$\sqrt{12.96}+\sqrt{0.1296}+\sqrt{0.001296}+\sqrt{0.00001296}$$ is:
Solution
Now, $$\sqrt{1296}$$ = 36
$$\sqrt{12.96}$$ = $$\sqrt{1296/100}$$ = $$\frac{36}{10}$$=3.6
Similarly,
$$\sqrt{0.1296}$$ = $$\sqrt{1296/10000}$$ = $$\frac{36}{100}$$=.36
$$\sqrt{0.001296}$$ = $$\sqrt{1296/10000}$$ = $$\frac{36}{1000}$$ = 0.036
Therefore, $$\sqrt{12.96}+\sqrt{0.1296}+\sqrt{0.001296}+\sqrt{0.00001296}$$ = 3.6+.36+.036 = 3.996
Option B is the correct answer.
The perimeter of a circular and a square field are equal. What is the diameter of the circular field, if the area of the square field is 484 $$metre^{2}$$
Solution
Let the square of side be x,
Now area = 484
x^2 = 484, x=22
Perimeter = 4*22= 88
Circumference = 88
2*(22/7)*r = 88
Hence, r=14
Area= (22/7)*14*14 =616
Therefore, option C is correct.
A papaya tree was planted 2 years ago. It increases at the rate of 20% every year. If at present, the height of the tree is 540 cm, what was it when the tree was planted ?
Solution
This problem can be viewed as that of compound interest.
Here, the trees growth is componded each year.
Now, let the original height be x.
540 = x*(1.2)^2
x = 375
Hence, the trees height was 375cm before 2 years.
The ratio between the rates of travelling of A and B is 2: 3 and therefore A takes 10 minutes more than the time taken by B to reach a destination. If A had walked at double the speed, he would have covered the distance in
Solution
Let the speed of A and B be x and y.
Hence, (x/y) = 2/3
Also, let the distance be D.
Therefore, D/x - D/y = 10
Hence, we get D/x = 30
x = D/30
Now if the speed was double i.e 2x, time required to cover same distance= D/(2x) = D/(D/15) = 15 minutes.
Therefore, the correct option is option D.
The sum of the squares of two positive integers is 100 and the difference of their squares is 28. The sum of the numbers is
Solution
Let the integers be x and y.
x^2+y^2 = 100
x^2 - y^2 = 28
2x^2 = 128
x^2 = 64
x = 8
Therefore, y=6
x+y = 8+6 =14
Therefore, the correct option is option C.
8 men can finish a piece of work in 40 days. If 2 more men join with them, then the work will be completed in
Solution
Let the work be W and speed of each man be x.
W/(8x) = 40
x = W/320
If two more men join, total speed will become = W/32
Now, the work can be done= W/(W/32) = 32 days
Therefore work will be done in 32 days.
10 women can complete a work in 7 days and 10 children take 14 days to complete the work. How many days will 5 women and 10 children take to complete the work ?
Solution
Let the speed of Women be x and that of children be y. Let piece of work be W.
10x=W/7, x=W/70
10y =W/14 y= W/140
Now, 5x + 10y = W/14 + W/14 = W/7
Number of day srequired to complete the work = W/(W/7) = 7 days.
Therefore, the correct option is option C.
A 10 metre, long ladder is placed against a wall. It is inclined at angle of 30C to the ground. The distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall is
Solution
This can be represented in diagrammatic form as,
Hence, by 30-60-90 theorem
Side opposite to 60 degree angle = $$\sqrt{3}$$/2 *hypotenuse = $$\sqrt{3}$$/2 *10 = 8.66 m
Therefore, the correct option is option C.
The sum of five numbers is 555. The average of first two numbers is 75 and the third number is 115. What is the average of last two-numbers ?
Solution
Let the numbers be a, b, c, d, and e.
a+b+c+d+e = 555
Now, (a+b)/2 = 75
a+b = 150
and c = 115
therefore, d+e = 290
Average, (d+e)/2 = 145
The mean temperature of Monday and Thursday was 36C. If the temperature on Thursday was $$\frac{4}{5}$$th of that Monday, then what was the temperature on Thursday ?
Solution
Let temperature on monday be a and that on thursday be y.
(x+y)/2 = 36
Now, y = 0.8x
Hence, we get Monday's temperature as 40
Therefore, none of these is the answer.
The microchip was invented by
An express train travelled at an average speed of 100km/hr, stopping for 3 minutes after 75 km. A local train travelled at speed of 50 km/hr, stopping for 1 minute after every 25 km. If the train began travelling at the same time, how many kms did the local train level in the time it took the express train to travel 600 km ?
Solution
The express train will cover 600 km in 6hrs and will stop fo 21 minutes in total at different stops.
Now, the distance covered by the local train in 6 hours 21 minutes while subtracting the 1 minute for each halt after 25 minutes = 6.35 * 50 - 250/25 = 307.5 km.
Therfore, the correct option is option A.
The price of sugar is increased by 20%. If the expenditure is not allowed to increase, the ratio between the reduction in consumption and the original consumption is
Solution
Initially, let us assume that the price of sugar was Rs.100/kg.
Now, after the increase the price is Rs120/kg.
A person can buy 1kg of sugar for Rs.120.
He can buy xkg of sugar for Rs.100
Hence, x=(100/120) = 5/6
reduction in consumption = (1/6)
Ratio of reduction in consumption to original consumption = 1:6
Hence, the correct option is option C.
$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{30}+.......+\frac{1}{n(n+1)}$$= ?
Solution
The given series is: $$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{30}+.......+\frac{1}{(n+1)}$$
This can be reframed as: $$\frac{1}{1}n-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{4}........+\frac{1}{n+1}$$ = $$\frac{1}{1}-\frac{1}{n+1}$$ = $$\frac{n}{n+1}$$
Therefore, the correct option is option D.
The difference between the present ages of Anil and Sudhir is 6 years. The ratio between their ages after 4 years will be 3:4. What can be the present age of Sudhir ?
Solution
Let the age of Anil and Sudhir be x and y respectively.
Now, y-x = 6
(x+4)/(y+4) = 3/4
4x - 3y = -4
Therefore, on solving we get,
x = 14 and y = 20
Hence, Sudhir's age is 20 years.
By selling a table for Rs. 350 instead of Rs. 400, loss percent increased by 5%. The cost price of table is:
Solution
We known that,
Loss Percent = $$\frac{Cost Price - Selling Price}{Cost Price}$$
Let Cost Price be x.
Now,
Difference in percent loss will be 5%.
$$\frac{x-350}{x}$$ - $$\frac{x-400}{x}$$ = 0.05
50/x =0.05
x= 1000
Therefore, the correct option is option C.
A dealer offers a discount of 10% on the marked price of an article and still makes a profit of 20%. If its marked price is Rs. 800, then the cost price is:
Solution
Dealer has offered a discount of 10% on his marked price of 800.
Therefore, selling price = 800 - 80 = 720
Percent Profit = $$\frac{Selling Price - Cost Price}{Cost Price}$$*100
0.2 = $$\frac{720 - Cost Price}{Cost Price}$$
Cost Price = 720/1.2
Cost Price = 600
Therefore option A is correct.
In a ration which is equal to 5: 8, if the antecedent is 40, then the consequence is:

9 children can complete a piece of work in 360 days, 18 men can complete the same piece of work in 72 days and 12 women can complete it in 162 days. In how many days can 4 men, 12 women and 10 children together complete the piece of work ?
Solution
Let the speed of child, man and woman to complete work W be x,y and z respectively.
Therefore, as per given conditions
x = W/3240
y= W/1296
and z = W/1944
Now, the combined speed of 4 men, 12 women and 10 children = 4y+12z+10x = W/81
Now, number of days = W/(W/81) = 81 days
The correct option is option B

Solution
A, B and C will recieve profits in proportion to their investments.
Now, their investments are in the ratio 3:9:8
Let the common multiple be x.
Now, B's share = 36000
Therefore, (9/20)x = 36000
x = 80,000
The correct option is option C.
