Correct Answer: 144
Explanation:
Less toys, Less Price (Direct Proportion)
So, let the price be Rs. x
then,
23:12::276:x => x=(276*12)/23
=> x=144
So price of 12 toys will be Rs. 144
Correct Answer: 1800
Explanation:
Let the required number of bottles be x.
More machines, More bottles (Direct Proportion)
More minutes, More bottles (Direct Proportion)
=> 6 * 1 * x = 10 * 4 * 270
=> x= 1800
Correct Answer: 195 seconds
Explanation:
Let the time required by x seconds.
Then, More cloth means More time (Direct Proportion)
So, 0.128 : 1 :: 25 : x
=> x = 195.31
So time will be approx 195 seconds
Correct Answer: 45.61 sec
Explanation:
Given loom weaves 1.14 mts of cloth in one second then 52 mts of cloth can be weaved by loom in,
1.14 ----- 1
52.0 ------?
= 45.61 sec
Correct Answer: Rs.220
Explanation:
Let the required Price be Rs. X .Then, Lest toys , Less cost (Direct Proportion)
Therefore 6 : 5 :: 264.37 : x
=> 6 * x = 5 * 264.37
=> X= 220.308
Therefore, Approximate price of 5 toys = Rs. 220
Correct Answer: (54 + 6/11) past 4
Explanation:
4 o'clock, the hands of the watch are 20 min. spaces apart.
To be in opposite directions, they must be 30 min. spaces apart.
Minute hand will have to gain 50 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min
50 min. spaces are gained in min. or
Required time = min. past 4.
Correct Answer: 20 min past 7pm on wednesday
Explanation:
This sunday morning at 8:00 AM, the watch is 5 min. Slow, and the next sunday at 8:00PM it becomes 5 min 48 sec fast. The watch gains min in a time of (7×24)+12 = 180 hours.
To show the correct time, it has to gain 5 min.
5min ->
So the correct time will be shown on wednesday at 7:20 PM
Correct Answer: 11pm
Explanation:
Time from 5 am. on a day to 10 pm. on 4th day = 89 hours.
Now 23 hrs 44 min. of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock.
356/15 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of correct clock
89 hrs of this clock = (24 x 31556 x 89) hrs of correct clock.
= 90 hrs of correct clock.
So, the correct time is 11 p.m.
Correct Answer: 180
Explanation:
Angle traced by the hour hand in 6 hours=(360/12)*6
Correct Answer: 24min
Explanation:
In this type of problems the formuae is
(5*x+ or - t)*12/11
Here x is replaced by the first interval of given time. Here x is 5.
t is spaces apart
Case 1 : (5*x + t) * 12/11
(5*5 + 3) * 12/11
28 * 12/11 = 336/11= min
therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 31 5/11 min past 5.
Case 2 : (5*x - t) * 12/11
(5*5 -3 ) * 12/11
22 *12/11 = 24 min
therefore the hands will be 3 min apart at 24 min past 5
