The logic problems in this set present you with three true statements: Fact A, Fact B and Fact C. Then you are given three more statements (labelled I, II and III), and you must determine which of these, if any, is also a fact. One or two of the statements could be true; all of the statements could be true; or none of the statement could be true. Choose your answer based solely on the information given in the first three facts.
Fact A: All hats have brims.

For a sphere of radius 10 cm, the numerical value of the surface area is how many per cent of the numerical value of its volume ?
Now, surface area of sphere = 4*3.142*r^2 = 4*3.142*10^2 = 1256.8
Now, volume of the sphere = 3.142*r^3 =3142
The percent of the numerical value of the surface area of the numerical value of its volume = (1256.8/3142)*100 = 40
Therefore, the correct option is option C
Ram bought 1600 eggs at Rs. 3.75 per dozen. He sold 900 of them at 2 for Re.1 and the remaining at 5 for Rs. 2. His gain per cent is:
Total cost price of all 1600 eggs = (1600/12)*3.75 = 500
Now, 900 eggs were sold for 2 eggs for Re 1 or 1 egg for Rs.0.6. Hence selling price of 900 eggs = 0.5*900 = 450
Also, remaining 700 egs were sold for 5 eggs at Rs. 2 or 1 egg at Rs.0.4, their selling price = 700*0.4 = 280
Now, total selling price for 1600 eggs = 450+280 = 730
Percent Profit = $$\frac{730-500}{500}$$= 46
Therefore, the correct option is option D.
The difference between the compound interest and simple interest for the amount Rs. 5,000 in 2 years is Rs. 32. The rate of interest is
Now, Compound interest accumulated over a period of 2 years = 5000*(1+x)^2 - 5000
Simple interest accumulated = 5000*x*2
The difference between the two is 32
5000*(1+x)^2 - 5000 - 5000*x*2 = 32
Solving we get the value of x = 0.08
Therefore, the correct option is option B.
A plane left 30 minutes later than the scheduled time and in order to reach the destination 1500 km away in time, it had to increase the speed by 250 km/hr from the usual speed. Its usual speed is:
The plane left half an hour late i.e it had to cover the same distance in half hour less time.
Now, we know that time = distance/speed
Let the origibal speed of the plane be x.
Now, (1500/x - 1500/x+250) = 0.5
Solving we get x = 750 km/hr.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
The ratio of the number of students studying in schools A, B and C is 5: 6: 8. If the number of students in each of the schools is increased by 30% 25% and 25% respectively, what will be the new ratio of the students in schools A, B and C?
The ratio of the number of students studying in schools A, B and C = 5: 6: 8.
Now, if the number of students in each of the schools is increased by 30% 25% and 25% respectively, the ratio = 5*1.3:6*1.25:8*1.25
= 6.5:7.5:10
= 13:15:20
Hence, the correct option is option B.
A circle and a rectangle have the same perimeter. The sides of the rectangle are 18 cm and 26 cm. What is the area of the circle ?
The circumference of the circle = Circumference of the rectangle
= 2(18+26) = 88
Now, 2*(22/7)*r = 88
r = 14
Area of circle = (22/7)*14*14 = 616 cm^2
Therefore, the correct option is option C.
How many different triangles are there for which the lengths of the sides are 3, 8, and n, where n is an integer and
3 < n < 8
The integers between 3 and 8 which can be sides of triangle are 4,5,6,7.
Now, the sum of two sides of triangle cannot be greater than the third.
Hence, only 4,5 can be the sides of the triangle.
Therefore, the correct option is option A.
The sum of one- half, one-third and one-fourth of a number exceeds the number by 12. The number is:
Let the number be x.
Now, ((x/4) + (x/3) + (x/2)) - x = 12
13x/12 - x = 12
x = 144
Therefore, the correct option is option A.
The average score of a class of boys and girls in an examination is A. The ratio of boys and girls in the class is 3: 1. If the average score of the boys is (A + 1), the average score of the girls is:
Let the common multiple be x.
There are x girls and 3x boys.
Now, let girls score be N.
$$\frac{N*x+(A+1)*3x}{4x}$$ = A
N = 4A - 3(A+1)
= A - 3
Hence, the average score of girls is A-3
Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 seconds and 17 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of the their speed is:
Let the lengths of train be x and y.
Now their speed is (x/27) and (y/17)
Also, they cross each other in 23 seconds.
(x/27) + (y/17) = (x+y)/23
We get (4/621)x = (6/291)y
(x/27)*(4/23) = (102/291)*(y/17)
(x/27)/(y/17) = (102/291)*(23/4)
Ratio of speed = (391/194)
Option D is the correct answer.
If the sum of two numbers is 42 and their product is 437, then the absolute difference between the number is:
Let the two numbers be x and y.
Now, x+y = 42
x*y = 437
x*(42-x) = 437
42x - x^2 = 437
x^2 - 42x +437 = 0
We get x = 23 0r x = 19
i.e y = 19 or y = 23
Hence, the two numbers are 23 and 19.
Their difference = 23 -19 = 4
Therefore, the correct option is option B.
A seller allows a discount of 5% on a watch . If he allows a discount of 7%, he earns Rs. 15 less in the profit What is the marked price ?
We know that,
Profit = Selling Price - Cost Price
Now, let the marked price be x
As per given condition,
(0.95x - Cost Price) - (0.93x - Cost Price) = 15
0.02x = 15
x = 750
Therefore, the correct option is option C.
If the manufacturer gains 10%, the wholesale dealer 15% and the retailer 25%, then the cost of production of an article whose retail price is Rs. 1265, is:
Let x be the production cost of the article.
Now, 1.1*1.15*1.25*x = 1265
x = (1265/1.1*1.15*1.25)
= 800
Therefore, the production cost of article is 800
Therefore, option B is correct.
If A: B = 1: 3, B: C = 5: 7, C: D = 9: 7 then A: B: C: D = ?
Now,
A:B = 1:3 = 15:45
B:C = 5:7 = 45:63
C:D = 9:7 = 63:49
Now, A:B:C:D = 15:45:63:49
Therefore, the correct option is option A.
The value of k for which x - 1 is a factor of $$4x^{2}+3x^{2}-4x+k$$, is
Now, x-1 is a factor of $$4x^{2}+3x^{2}-4x+k$$ which means x=1 satisfies the equation.
Hence, $$4(1)^{2}+3(1)^{2}-4(1)+k$$ = 0
which gives 3+k = 0 i.e k = -3
Therefore, the correct option is option D.
Fresh grapes contain 80% water while dry grapes contain 10% water. If the weight of dry grapes is 250 kg, what was its total weight when it was fresh ?
Dry grapes contain 10% water.
Weight of dry grapes = 250kg
Therefore, weight of water part = 10% of 250 =kg
Weight of pulp part = 225 kg
Now, for fresh grapes to contain 80% water, 20% is pulp part.
20% of x = 225
x = 1225 kg
Therefore, the weight of grapes is = 1225kg
Option D is correct answer.
Each inch on ruler A is marked in equal $$\frac{1}{8}$$-inch units, and each inch on ruler B is marked in equal $$\frac{1}{12}$$-inch units. When ruler A is used, a side of triangle measures 12 of the $$\frac{1}{8}$$-inch units. When ruler B is used, how many $$\frac{1}{12}$$-inch units will the same side measure ?
Side of triangle = 12 of (1/8)th units = 12*(1/8) = 1.5 inches.
Now, x of (1/12)th units = 1.5 inches
Hence, x = 18.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
The cost of making an article is divided between materials, labour and overheads in the ratio of 3:4:1. If the material cost Rs. 234, then the labour cost is:
Let the common multiple be x.
Now, the materials cost is 234
Hence, (3/8)x = 234 i.e x = 624
Now, cost of labour = (4/8)x = (1/2) * 624 =312
Therefore, the correct option is option B.
A rectangular courtyard 3.78 m long and 5.25 m broad is to be paved exactly with square tiles, all of the same size. The minimum number of such tiles is:
Here, the HCF of 3.78 and 5.25 is 0.21.
Therefore, .21 will constitute as side of each square.
Number of square = (3.78 * 5.25)/(0.21*021) = 450
Hence, the correct option is option C.
Some students planned a picnic. The budget for food was Rs.500. But, 5 of them failed to go and thus the cost of food for each member increased by Rs 5. How many students attended the picnic ?
Let the number of students be n and cost of food per student be x.
Now, 500/n = x
Also, lateron cost increases by 5when 5 students don't come.
500/(n-5) = x+5
500/(n-5) = 500/n +5
Solving we get
n = 25
Hence, number of students attending picnic was 20.
