- Question
5/9 of the part of the population in a village are females. If 30 % of the females are married. The percentage of unmarried males in the total males is ?
Options- A. 62.5 %
- B. 125 %
- C. 84.32 %
- D. 46.87 %
- Correct Answer
- 62.5 %
ExplanationLet total population = p
number of females = 5p/9
number of males =(p-5p/9) = 4p/9
married females = 30% of 5p/9 = 30x5p/100x9 = p/6
married males = p/6
unmarried males =(4p/9-p/6) = 5p/18
Percentage of unmarried males in the total males = {(5p/18)/4p/9}x100 = (5p/18)x(9/4p) = 125/2 % = 62.5% - 1. A certain distance is covered at a certain speed. If half of this distance is covered in double the time, the ratio of the two speed is?

Correct Answer: 4:1
Explanation:
Let x km . be covered in y hrs.
then, 1st speed = (x / y) km/hr.
2nd speed = [(x/2) / 2y)] km/hr.
= (x/4y) km/hr.
? Ratio of speed = x/y : x/4y = 1 :1/4 = 4: 1
Correct Answer: 80 meters
Explanation:
Speed of the train = (36 x 5)/18 = 10 m/sec.
Distance = (Time x Speed ) = (8 x 10 ) = 80 meters
? Length of the train = 80 meters
Correct Answer: 24 sec
Explanation:
| Relative speed = | = (45 + 30) km/hr | |||||||
|
||||||||
|
We have to find the time taken by the slower train to pass the DRIVER of the faster train and not the complete train.
So, distance covered = Length of the slower train.
Therefore, Distance covered = 500 m.
| ∴ Required time = | ❨ | 500 x | 6 | ❩ | = 24 sec. |

Correct Answer: 36 sec
Explanation:
Speed of train relative to jogger = (45 - 9) km/hr = 36 km/hr.
| = | ❨ | 36 x | 5 | ❩m/sec |
| 18 |
= 10 m/sec.
Distance to be covered = (240 + 120) m = 360 m.
Correct Answer: 82 km/hr
Explanation:
Let the speed of the second train be x km/hr.
| Relative speed | = (x + 50) km/hr | |||||||
|
||||||||
|
Distance covered = (108 + 112) = 220 m.
| ∴ | 220 | = 6 | ||
|
⟹ 250 + 5x = 660
⟹ x = 82 km/hr.
Correct Answer: 10 a.m.
Explanation:
Suppose they meet x hours after 7 a.m.
Distance covered by A in x hours = 20x km.
Distance covered by B in (x - 1) hours = 25(x - 1) km.
∴ 20x + 25(x - 1) = 110
⟹ 45x = 135
⟹ x = 3.
So, they meet at 10 a.m.
Correct Answer: 24 sec
Explanation:
| Relative speed = | = (45 + 30) km/hr | |||||||
|
||||||||
|
We have to find the time taken by the slower train to pass the DRIVER of the faster train and not the complete train.
So, distance covered = Length of the slower train.
Therefore, Distance covered = 500 m.
| ∴ Required time = | ❨ | 500 x | 6 | ❩ | = 24 sec. |

Correct Answer: Rs. 25,300
Explanation:
85 : 18700 = 115 : x
| ⟹ x = | ❨ | 18700 x 115 | ❩ | = 25300. |
| 85 |
Hence, S.P. = Rs. 25,300.
Correct Answer: 2 or 6
Explanation:
80 = 2 x 5 x 8
Since 653xy is divisible by 2 and 5 both, so y = 0.
Now, 653x is divisible by 8, so 13x should be divisible by 8.
This happens when x = 6.
∴x + y = (6 + 0) = 6.
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Let the two consecutive odd integers be (2 n + 1) and (2 n + 3). Then,
(2n + 3)2 - (2n + 1)2 = (2n + 3 + 2n + 1) (2n + 3 - 2n - 1)
= (4n + 4) x 2
= 8(n + 1), which is divisible by 8.
